When favonovel.com noticed James, Thomas headed over to favonovel.com with his entourage.
Thea collected herself and looked at Thomas, greeting favonovel.com respectfully, “Sir Caden…”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com tugged at James.
James collected himself and looked at Thomas, saying coldly, “Congratulations on becoming the ruler of a new nation.”
There was a hint of aloofness in his tone.
In truth, favonovel.com did not wish for Thomas to establish Japura and struggle for supremacy on the world stage. Since antiquity, something like this had never come to any good for anyone. Besides, these were peaceful times. He did not want the newly-established nations to fight for territory and resources, thereby turning the world upside down in the process.
“Congratulations, Thea.” Looking at Thea’s stomach, Thomas said while smiling. “The Cadens will soon have new blood. If it’s a boy. I’ll raise favonovel.com as the future Emperor of Japura.”
“Thank you, Sir Caden.” Thea said with gratitude, “However, I only wish for my son to be an ordinary person. I don’t want favonovel.com to be involved in this conflict.”
“Preposterous!” Thomas roared, “Being born a Caden means that he’s destined to be distinguished. How can I possibly allow the descendants of the Japura royal family to be ordinary? We’ll become a laughingstock to the world!”
Stunned by his sudden outburst, Thea was petrified.
James hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, I make my own decisions for my child.”
Thomas took a deep breath. He did not wish to get into a quarrel with James at the moment. After all, there was a crowd nearby.
“We’ll discuss this when the baby is born.” Then, Thomas left with his entourage.
James consoled Thea, “Don’t let favonovel.com get to you, Darling.”
Thea forced a smile and said, “He’s just concerned about the child, that’s all. However, I don’t want my child to be involved in the petty power struggles of the ancient martial world.”
“Yeah…” James nodded.
The two rested on a rock.
Soon, another group of people arrived. This time, it was the Prince of Orchid Mountain and his entourage, Tyrus Lafleur and Tapio Cabral
“The Prince of Orchid Mountain is here…”
“The Emperor of Lothian!”
“Here comes the real ninth rank! Theoretically speaking, the Cadens are the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s subordinates.”
The Prince of Orchid Mountain’s appearance immediately created a commotion.
James saw the Prince of Orchid Mountain from the corner of his eye. He had planned to seek his advice on how to cross into the ninth rank.
“Thea, the Prince of Orchid Mountain is here. We should go say hi.” James said.
“Alright.” Thea nodded.
When the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s arrived, many martial artists hurriedly went over to greet him. Even powerful sects such as the Mount Thunder Sect did the same.
James remained in his spot. After the crowd dispersed, favonovel.com walked over to the Prince of Orchid Mountain with Thea.
“Langston… Tyrus…” favonovel.com greeted them respectfully.
James had come across them before. He even fought against Tyrus but was defeated by his overwhelming power.
Langston looked at James before glancing at Thea.
Upon seeing Thea’s stomach, favonovel.com asked delightedly, Is the baby due soon?”
“Yeah…” Thea said, “In about a month or two.”
“That’s great!” Langston laughed.
Tyrus looked at Thea and said, “I’m happy for you.”
James was taken aback by their friendliness.
