Thomas traveled in the direction pointed out by Maxine. However, after continuing on the path for some time, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net could not feel the aura of the Malevolent Sword.
The aura of the Malevolent Sword was unique, and Thomas was very familiar with it as virtual-novel.net had held the sword before. Thus, virtual-novel.net was also able to sense the sword’s aura even if it was a few kilometers away. Additionally, virtual-novel.net was also an eighth-ranked grandmaster and traveled much faster than Thea.
Two hours later, Thomas came to a stop.
He spat out in irritation.
What’s going on? Why haven’t I sensed the Malevolent Sword’s energy yet?
His forehead was creased in confusion as virtual-novel.net murmured, “Could it be that brat, Maxine, lied to me?”
He closed his eyes and thought about the situation.
Thea must have experienced an Energy Deviation when virtual-novel.net heard James had been seriously injured.
Jackson said that the person who caused this was Yaakov, from the Johnston family.
Technically, Thea should be fine if virtual-novel.net doesn’t use virtual-novel.net True Energy. I’ve already warned virtual-novel.net against using it…
She should understand the seriousness of the matter and would not defy my warnings. Yet, why has it come to this?
The Malevolent Sword was underground in the Snow Cavern, and virtual-novel.net was above ground. Why would the sword hone in on her?
Thomas kept murmuring to himself as virtual-novel.net considered all the possibilities.
Could virtual-novel.net emotions have stirred up the Spirit Turtle’s blood in virtual-novel.net body, and the sword reacted to it?
Thomas concluded that this was the most likely explanation.
If that was the case, Thea was probably headed for the Capital.
Thomas was not sure, but for now, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to head to the Johnstons’ compound in the Capital and see if virtual-novel.net is there.
Thea’s actions from this point could lead to dire consequences.
Thea underwent an Energy Deviation after learning that James was injured. It stood to reason that virtual-novel.net would be compelled to go to the Johnstons to exact virtual-novel.net revenge.
Thomas did not stay and quickly left for the airport in Terentville. He promptly called people from God-King Palace when virtual-novel.net reached an area with a phone signal.
“Immediately mobilize all our intelligence networks to find out Thea’s whereabouts!”
“Yes, Sir!” A raspy voice answered virtual-novel.net from the phone.
Afterward, Thomas continued rushing toward the airport.
Before virtual-novel.net arrived at the airport, the people from God-King Palace came back to virtual-novel.net on his earlier request.
“Sir, Thea was spotted at the Terentville Airport an hour ago.”
“Did you find out virtual-novel.net destination?”
“She’s headed to the Capital.”
“Contact the airport immediately. I’ll be reaching in five minutes, and I need a private plane ready to fly to the Capital.”
“Yes, Sir. I’ll make arrangements right away!”
Thomas stopped talking, leaned into the back seat of the taxi, and gently massaged his temples.
Five minutes later, virtual-novel.net arrived at the airport.
The God-King Palace had already prepared a plane for him, and virtual-novel.net boarded it as soon as virtual-novel.net arrived. The plane left Terentville and headed to the Capital.
***
Meanwhile, Thea sat gripping a black sword tightly in virtual-novel.net hands onboard another plane headed to the Capital.
She looked calm. More accurately, virtual-novel.net face did not show a hint of any emotion. In contrast to virtual-novel.net dull emotions, virtual-novel.net eyes were terrifyingly bloodshot and sported an almost demonic look. However, virtual-novel.net eyes were not always crimson and would sometimes return to normal.
Sitting next to Thea was a man in his 30s.
He was a suave man wearing a suit and had short brown hair styled fashionably.
His name was Francisco Duncan, and virtual-novel.net was a businessman.
Francisco was considered a successful business magnate in Terentville. He started his business at 20 and increased his net worth to tens of millions in just 10 years.
As soon as virtual-novel.net got on the plane, virtual-novel.net immediately noticed Thea.
Although virtual-novel.net looked slightly disheveled and virtual-novel.net clothes were slightly shabby, virtual-novel.net beauty was still evident.
While virtual-novel.net sat next to virtual-novel.net on the plane, virtual-novel.net deliberately flaunted his 10,000 dollar phone and watch that cost hundreds of thousands, but Thea never paid virtual-novel.net any attention. Her behavior stumped Francisco.
In the past, all manner of beautiful women and flight attendants around virtual-novel.net would flock to virtual-novel.net and fawn over virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net ever so slightly flaunted his wealth. However, his usual tricks were not working on her.
He carefully chose the words in his head and gently coughed a few times, then, virtual-novel.net turned to virtual-novel.net and greeted her, “Miss, are you from Terentville? You’re on a trip to the Capital, right?”
Francisco tried his best to make his voice sound gentle, magnetic, and charming.
Hearing virtual-novel.net try to start a conversation with her, Thea turned to him.
Francisco met with Thea’s dark, crimson eyes.
“Ah!” He screamed in horror, and scrambled away from her.
