Chapter 701
James’ face was contorted with rage, and a vein popped out in his neck.He did not expect that someone would abduct Thea and use her to blackmail him despite having divorced her.
However, he remained composed. He called Jay, who was far away in Cansington.
Jay was currently entertaining a guest. At that moment, his phone rang. Realizing it was James who called, he immediately headed toward a desolate area.
“Dragon General, what seems to be the matter?”
“Jake, investigate Thea‘s current whereabouts for me.”
Jay froze for a brief moment. Almost immediately, however, he nodded, “I‘ll give you an answer in five minutes.”
Though he did not know what had happened, he felt something was not quite right with James ‘tone.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately contacted the underground intelligence network.
Once Ronald had withdrawn from the place, Jay‘s men had once again taken over the network
James waited patiently after calling Jay.
Five minutes soon passed.
“Sir, we couldn‘t find her whereabouts. It‘s almost as if she disappeared from Cansington all of a sudden.”
“Got it.”
James hung up the call. He stood up and walked out of the Black Dragon Palace. “Get the car.”
Soon, an off–road vehicle with a full gas tank was ready. James immediately headed toward Southern Plains City.
He then headed toward Mt. Thunder Pass.
Mt. Thunder Pass was originally a no–man‘s–land that served as the border between various nations.
However, after its nearby cities were annexed by Sol, Mt. Thunder Pass naturally fell under its jurisdiction.
James drove to the foothill of Mt. Thunder. After parking his car, he made his way up the mountain.
There were a few wooden houses at the top of Mt. Thunder.
This was where James faced off against the 28-nation martial art gurus.
In one of the wooden houses…
Thea was sitting on a chair. Scanning the men in the house, she said coldly, “Do you think you can threaten James by abducting me? I‘m afraid you might be disappointed. We‘re already divorced. I no longer have any relationship with him whatsoever. Besides, he doesn’t care about me anymore. There‘s no way he‘d risk his life coming here to save me.”
An elderly man was sitting opposite her.
Cloaked in a plain gray robe, the elderly man looked like a sage with his white, long beard. He was the abbot of the Five Monasteries Mountain‘s Hemis Monastery from the Capital. His name was Reign Maverick.
Glancing at Thea, he said nonchalantly, “This is none of your concern. In fact, I think you should be worried about your current situation. If James doesn‘t come, you‘d lose what little value you have. If that happens, this will be your grave.”
After experiencing trials upon trials, Thea was no longer the innocent girl from before.
She said coldly, “Cut the cr*p and just kill me.”
Ignoring her, Reign closed his eyes.
Although Thea talked tough, she was in truth fearful of death. Deep down, she was secretly hoping that James would come to her rescue.
‘Will he come to my rescue?
But I mistreated him... Now that we‘re divorced and he‘s in a relationship with Quincy, will he still care about me?‘
Thea could not help but let her thoughts run wild.
At that moment, a man in a black jacket walked over to Reign. “Your Holiness, James has arrived at the foothill.”
Reign opened his eyes. His glassy eyes gleamed, and he asked, “Is he alone?”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
Wearing a cold expression, he said, “If he dares come, this will be his final resting place.”
James walked up the mountain. He did not spot any mercenaries or any sentinels along the way, and could not help but frown.
“Who were the people that abducted Thea?”
He thought that the enemy must have set up a foolproof trap after luring him here. However, he found no traces of one along the way. It was only when he reached the top of Mt. Thunder did he sense another human being‘s presence.
