Maxine shook virtual-novel.net head slightly. “I’m not sure either. That’s my opinion after watching his fight with Donovan. Only virtual-novel.net has the answers.”
Thea smiled. “We’ll know once virtual-novel.net gets back…”
The three gathered and discussed the events that unfolded at the Western Border.
Soon, Quincy returned.
Though Quincy had virtual-novel.net own place to stay, virtual-novel.net was feeling bored alone. Thus, virtual-novel.net would normally go to Cynthia’s place after work. After all, virtual-novel.net villa was vast and spacious.
Quincy was fatigued after a whole day of work.
“You’re back? Where’s James though?” Quincy walked over to them.
Then, tossing virtual-novel.net handbag casually aside, virtual-novel.net took a seat on the sofa.
Thea nodded. “He’s safe now. He should be here soon.”
“That’s great!” Quincy breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, virtual-novel.net grumbled, “I’ll make virtual-novel.net treat me to a meal. For his company, I have been working day in and day out. I don’t even have time to eat. It’s nearly midnight and I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Do you have anything here that I can eat, Cynthia?”
“I order the kitchen to make you dinner.” Cynthia immediately stood up and ordered the chef to prepare a meal.
Thea asked, “How’s it going at the company?”
Quincy sighed. “Things were going smoothly, but some smaller businesses seem to have second thoughts about the whole thing. Perhaps they were bribed or blackmailed by Centennial Corporation, which has begun picking up speed. Meanwhile, over here at Messiah, there isn’t any new medicine at the moment. We have to make haste and develop new medicine to make our presence known in the markets, or else we’ll forever be eclipsed by Centennial.”
She was working hard, but fighting against Centennial had taken a toll on her.
“You’ve worked hard,” Maxine consoled virtual-novel.net and said, “Things will get better. Hang in there for another two months. After the Mount Thunder conference, everything will change…”
“Let’s hope I survive until then. I’m going to take a shower.” Quincy stood up and headed upstairs.
Thea sighed deeply.
Maxine asked, “What’s wrong, Thea? Why are you sighing?”
Thea said, “Quincy has really helped James out a lot… I, on the other hand, couldn’t do anything to help… Not only that, I’ve been making trouble for him. I’m so useless…”
“Don’t say that.” Maxine grabbed Thea’s hand and said, “You’ve done a great job!”
Cynthia looked at both of them. Their relationship was complicated.
At times, they were rivals, but now, they were getting along well. She felt the urge to say nothing. However, virtual-novel.net chose to remain silent.
After showering, Quincy went downstairs. Without a care, virtual-novel.net gobbled up the food that the chef had made.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Through the surveillance camera, they knew it was James.
Cynthia pressed a button on a controller, and the door of the villa opened.
James walked in.
The moment virtual-novel.net entered the villa, everyone stood up and stared at him.
James froze, then, virtual-novel.net asked in puzzlement, “What? Is there something on my face? Why are you all looking at me like this?”
He walked over to them and sat on the sofa while murmuring.
Maxine asked, “Tell us what happened, James. How did you manage to become so strong in just a few short days? Not even Donovan stood a chance against you. Besides, how do you know the Blithe Fist of Abomination?”
Even now, James was still somewhat in a daze.
“I was fortunate, I guess… While I was imprisoned in the Blithes’ dungeon, I came across the Grand Patriarch of the Blithes who was tied up in chains… He’s a peak seventh-rank martial artist. As virtual-novel.net was nearing the end of his life, virtual-novel.net imparted all his True Energy to me…” James narrated the chain of events.
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
