As Yaroslav was one of the main persons in charge of the Gu Sect, virtual-novel.net had much insider information. In order to live through the ordeal, virtual-novel.net chose to cooperate with James and tell virtual-novel.net everything virtual-novel.net knew. This included the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid.
The ancient tomb had been broken into long ago, and the box unearthed from within had long been in Thomas’ hands. It was also a part of his plan to bring the box to Cansington and give it to James.
Meanwhile, the previous Emperor had been a pawn all this while, a pawn manipulated into doing Thomas’ bidding ever since ten years ago. He was a mere disposable character.
Hearing this, James took a deep breath.
Based on Yaroslav’s words, his grandfather possessed great strength ten years ago.
So why would virtual-novel.net watch as his family burned to death?
Could it be that his family was still alive?
Was everything an illusion?
This possibility existed. After all, virtual-novel.net was saved by Thea.
Though virtual-novel.net believed his family to be dead, virtual-novel.net had never actually seen their corpses. With the strength his grandfather possessed, virtual-novel.net could easily save them all without breaking a sweat. However, virtual-novel.net could only know more when virtual-novel.net met Thomas once more.
“What were you trying to accomplish by researching Gu venom and using them to create biological viruses? And why did you establish Centennial Corporation?” James asked.
Yaroslav replied, “This has something to do with the Leader’s martial art. He cultivates the Decimation of Immortality, an extremely vile martial art skill. Although it’s powerful, it is flawed in its methods. By researching Gu venom, the Leader wishes to perfect the Decimation of Immortality while at the same time creating biological viruses to create a powerful army independent of the state. Meanwhile, setting up the company was to prepare for what comes next…”
“By establishing a medical corporation in an age where the country is getting richer and its people wealthier, we can effectively create a monopoly. One day, when Sol and even the wider world only have a single medical corporation that dictates what medicine humans take, it would be easier for the organization to control people’s every thought and action…”
Hearing this, James took a deep breath. This was sheer madness.
After taking a deep breath, virtual-novel.net asked, “What is the Decimation of Immortality? How is it related to the Gu Sect?”
Yaroslav shook his head and said, “I don’t know about this. Although I’m a disciple of the Gu Devil who’s someone with great authority inside the Gu Sect, I really don’t know much about the Leader.”
“Mhm.” James nodded slightly.
He believed that Yaroslav was telling the truth.
After revealing so much insider information, there was no need for virtual-novel.net to hide things from virtual-novel.net anymore.
“Give me a copy of all the individuals affiliated with the Gu Sect. Ill formulate a plan once I return. I’ll act once I execute you,” virtual-novel.net said and got out of the car.
After James got out of the car, Madelyn asked, “Do you think James is reliable?”
Yaroslav’s face darkened, and virtual-novel.net said, “I don’t know, but I don’t have any other options. I can only hope that Thomas will save me at critical moments considering that I’ve helped James so much.”
From Yaroslav’s perspective, Thomas was the threatening one, not James. Even now, virtual-novel.net had no idea what agreement Thomas and the Leader came into.
“Let’s return for now…”
“Understood.” Madelyn drove off.
James, on the other hand, lit a cigarette upon returning to his car.
Only after Yaroslav and Madelyn left did virtual-novel.net ignite the engine and return.
