Thea left virtual-novel.net car and immediately headed toward the hospital. However, when virtual-novel.net arrived at the ward, James was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at Tiara who was lying in virtual-novel.net bed, virtual-novel.net asked, “Where’s James?”
Tiara tried to get up but the bandages that were covering virtual-novel.net body made it almost impossible to sit up.
With a feeble voice, virtual-novel.net responded to Thea, “J-James has returned to the Southern Plains.”
“The Southern Plains? What for?” Thea had not expected this development.
“James told me virtual-novel.net was going to regain control over the Black Dragon Army. After he’s done that, virtual-novel.net plans to return to the Capital and kill the Emperor using the Blade of Justice”
“Kill the Emperor?” Thea’s jaw hung open in shock.
Thomas had told virtual-novel.net that chaos would ensue once the Emperor died. He also told virtual-novel.net that everything would be over for James when virtual-novel.net makes his move.
“Th-Thea, actually…” The bedridden Tiara tried to gather virtual-novel.net strength so virtual-novel.net could explain things to Thea.
Alas, virtual-novel.net had taken too much time and Thea had already left in a hurry.
As virtual-novel.net walked out of the hospital, Thea hurriedly called the number on the card Thomas gave virtual-novel.net while making virtual-novel.net way to the parking lot.
The call went through but no one picked up the phone.
She opened the door of virtual-novel.net car and got in. The moment virtual-novel.net sat down, virtual-novel.net nearly jumped in fright upon seeing an old man seated once again in the passenger’s seat.
She patted virtual-novel.net chest to calm herself down, “You scared me, Mr. Caden!”
Without missing a beat, Thomas smiled back at her. “Do you believe me now?”
Thea’s face clouded over. “James has returned to the Southern Plains to reunite with the Black Dragon Army. After that, he’ll return to the Capital and kill the Emperor with the Blade of Justice. Just now, you mentioned that James would be done for the moment virtual-novel.net takes action. Is that true?”
“Of course.”
“H-How do I save virtual-novel.net then?” Thea looked at Thomas pleadingly.
“I told you… You can provide your assistance to virtual-novel.net by becoming the young mistress of the God-King Palace.”
“Um… I…”
It took a while before Thea gave virtual-novel.net answer. “Fine, I accept your offer…”
Ultimately, Thea did not want James to be in danger. She still was not sure if this man was who virtual-novel.net claimed to be, but virtual-novel.net had to jump at the opportunity to be of some use to James.
Quincy had told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net knew nothing about James. As much as virtual-novel.net hated to admit it, Thea had to agree.
She murmured silently in virtual-novel.net heart, “If the others can help him, so can I! I’ll show virtual-novel.net I’m not a useless woman!”
Thomas removed his thumb ring. Alongside the ring, virtual-novel.net also tossed a black token to Thea.
Picking the small items up gingerly, Thea tilted virtual-novel.net head and asked, “What’s this?”
“They are the God-King thumb ring and the God King token. You’ll need them to walk around the God-King Palace freely.”
Thea turned the token around on virtual-novel.net palm.
The word God-King was carved onto one side. Meanwhile, there was a mysterious-looking pattern on the other.
She quickly put away the ring and token in virtual-novel.net pockets. “What should I do next?”
“Someone will come find you.”
After leaving virtual-novel.net with only that vague instruction, Thomas got out of Thea’s car.
“Remember not to say a single word about our deal to James.” He cautioned virtual-novel.net through the window one last time.
“Mr. Caden…”
Before Thea could ask virtual-novel.net more questions, virtual-novel.net had already left. Silence filled the underground parking lot once again.
Thea looked at the God-King thumb ring and the God-King token, and voiced virtual-novel.net thoughts.
What kind of organization is the God-King Palace?
Is virtual-novel.net really James’ grandfather?
Shouldn’t virtual-novel.net have died in the fire ten years ago?
How’s virtual-novel.net still alive?
Why did virtual-novel.net tell me not to breathe a word of this to James?
Could virtual-novel.net possibly be one of James’ many enemies?”
Thea was in a tough spot. She was at a loss for what to do.
Things just did not seem to make sense.
