"What about Maxine? Both of them are together right now."
"Maxine..."
Lucjan paused once again. ‘This person is of no use to me. If I treated this as per usual, I’d just kill her, but she's close to James and has quite an interesting background. However, I heard she's quite a calculating person. We can't have her come here.
Otherwise, it'll be hard to persuade Thea with her around.", he said.
“Alright, I understand.”
"Go, you're dismissed.” Lucjan waved his hand dismissively.
The subordinate promptly left the room.
Soon, James walked downstairs, accompanied by the beautiful twins.
"You're finally awake, James.” Lucjan stood up and walked over to hug James cheerily.
“How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"
James brushed Lucjan's arm away and stopped him from getting closer.
He walked over to the sofa and sat down. "I slept well. When do I start your next task? After I do what you want. I'd like you to give me the antidote, and we'll part ways," James said simply.
"I see that you're chomping on the bit and ready to get started. You can depart after breakfast."
Lucjan sat down and snapped his fingers.
A beautiful woman immediately walked over with a map in her hands.
Lucjan spread the map on the table and tapped his finger on a certain location. "This area is within Mount Thunder Sect's territory. It’s also the only way to Mount Thunder Sect. You can head there and intercept the people traveling up the mountain.
According to the time, the major sects and families should be arriving in Mount Thunder Sect in a few days, but...”
He glanced at James and reminded, "You'll have to be careful, James. Mount Thunder Sect has issued a bounty on your head.
All martial artists from the Virtuous Faction will definitely be coming for your life as well.”
‘That'll depend on whether they can even come close enough to take it," James replied calmly and confidently.
Lucjan laughed loudly, “Haha. I love it! You're full of bravado today! Whatever happens, I’ve definitely got your back, my man."
James looked at the map on the table and said, "Let's double-confirm your conditions before I leave. After I complete the task, you will me the antidote."
"Sure, no problem," Lucjan beamed at him and looked as if he were almost harmless.
James had killed Jackson, Mount Thunder Sect's leader, and was about to kill countless elite members of major sects and families. Soon, James would lose the little allies he had left and would be forced to cooperate with Lucjan and his men.
Looking straight at Lucjan’s eyes, James growled in a low, and threatening voice, "I hope you hold up your end of the bargain. Otherwise, I'll drag you to hell with me.”
"Don't worry. I'll keep my promise,” Lucjan’s eyes formed relaxed crescents.
Turning to a servant behind him, he ordered, "Serve the food."
In no time, the table was filled with countless delicacies.
After James had breakfast, he prepared to set out.
"James, these two are yours from now on. Take them with you.”
Hearing this, James looked at Aphrodite and Venus with a frown.
Lucjan explained as he caught James looking displeased about the new arrangement as he, "Don't worry. They won't drag you down. They may not look like it but they're also martial artists. Although they don't have strong True Energy, they're second- ranked grandmasters and aren't mere pushovers."
James nodded lightly and said, "Okay."
It was evident Lucjan wanted to use them to continue keeping tabs on him.
“Also, I'll send another person to back you up."
After speaking, Lucjan clapped his hands.
A man dressed in raggedy clothes immediately appeared. He looked about 50 years old and had a round face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. With a fierce expression on his face, he looked almost like a butcher.
Lucjan introduced, ‘This is Bryce Quest. He's at the peak of the sixth rank and is one step away from entering the seventh."
James looked at Bryce and nodded in reply without acknowledging the man.
Bryce put his palms together and bowed respectfully as he said, "James, I'm looking forward to working with you. I've been informed that we are tasked with abusing the participants for this year's martial arts conference.”
James maintained a calm expression and nodded lightly.
Despite his outward poker face, he was secretly panicking inside.He never expected Lucjan to send in a martial artist to accompany him.
This just made the situation a lot more complicated.
