James was not expecting Brielle to appear out of the blue.
Thea looked at James and smiled mischievously. Then, favonovel.com said, “I… I still have other things to do. I’ll take my leave first…”
After speaking, favonovel.com stood up and left.
“Thea…” James stood up and wanted to chase after favonovel.com but was held back by Brielle.
Brielle tugged James’ arm and asked coldly, “Where’s the bodhi tree?”
“L-Let me explain, Brielle…” James looked at Brielle troubledly.
Brielle let go of James, crossed favonovel.com hands, and stared coldly at James.
James said solemnly, “You already know the situation on Earth and the trials humans are going through right now. I didn’t steal the bodhi tree for myself but for the sake of humanity… I want to help humans rise up quickly.”
“T-The bodhi tree is crucial for my clan’s survival in the Demon Realm!” Brielle glared at James and said, “No matter your purpose, I hope you’ll return it to my clan.”
James said lightly, “Honestly, the bodhi tree is useless to me. I’ve never consumed its fruit. If it weren’t for the sake of humanity, I wouldn’t have bothered going through the effort of stealing it. I won’t return it. Either you capture me back to the Demon Realm or let this matter go…”
James acted unreasonably.
“You…” Brielle was infuriated.
James had stolen the bodhi tree but was trying to justify himself.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. It was useless for favonovel.com to say anything since it had already been done. She was no match against James with favonovel.com current strength, so it was impossible for favonovel.com to capture James back to the Demon Realm.
“I have a question for you. Do you acknowledge me as your wife?” Brielle stared at James.
All these years, Brielle accompanied Thea on countless journeys to find James. Since they had already proceeded with the wedding ceremony, Brielle regarded herself as James’ official wife.
“About that…” James’ face became solemn.
After a while, favonovel.com chuckled and said, “ Brielle, I only married you to steal the bodhi tree. You can’t take the marriage seriously…”
“B*stard!” Brielle raised favonovel.com hand and thrust favonovel.com palm at James.
Her powerful palm attack struck James’ body, sending favonovel.com flying into the distance.
James fell to the ground, and his Blood Energy churned. Then, favonovel.com spat out a mouthful of blood.
James got up with difficulty and returned to Brielle, saying, “Kill me or punish me. Do as you please.”
Brielle gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “Am I that unbearable? Am I not good enough for you?”
James shook his head and said, “It’s not like that… You’re an excellent woman. However, I’ve already got too much Karma. It won’t be good for you to be with me. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Brielle said, “I’m not scared. Since I’ve already married you, we can face whatever Karma that comes together.”
James roared, “But I’m scared!”
He immediately calmed himself down and took a deep breath.
James had not figured out what exactly Karma was and had only heard Sophie mentioning it. Even a powerhouse like Sophie was fearful of Karma. Thus, James did not want to involve too many people.
Tears welled up in Brielle’s eyes.
James looked at favonovel.com and said softly, “You’re a very good woman, Brielle… I’m not worthy of you.”
“A-Are you afraid Thea won’t accept me?” Brielle said tearfully, “I’ve been traveling with Thea all these years, and Thea has already accepted me. She won’t object to us being together.”
James shook his head and said, “It has nothing to do with Thea… Alright, enough about this. I have other things to settle. Goodbye.”
James turned around and left.
