Thea was puzzled.
What is Thomas trying to say?
Could it be that virtual-novel.net already knew virtual-novel.net identity?
She was unsure. Meanwhile, James could not comprehend Thomas’ words at all.
“Alright, I’ll be taking my leave.”
Thomas stretched and stood up. Then, virtual-novel.net simply walked out of the house.
James really was speechless when it came to his grandfather. He no longer bothered to say goodbye to him.
Callan stood up and said, “I’ll be taking my leave, James. You go along first. I’ll be there shortly. However, I won’t show up unless the situation turns dire.”
“Okay…” James nodded.
With Thomas and Callan helping virtual-novel.net out in the shadows, there was nothing virtual-novel.net was afraid of.
After they left, James have White Eagle a call and inquired virtual-novel.net about the situation at the Celestial Sect.
“The Sect Leader has agreed to this. However, she’s currently preoccupied with something at the moment. But, don’t worry, virtual-novel.net promised virtual-novel.net would be there to lend you a hand.”
Hearing this, James was at ease.
His grandfather alone could take on three Callans. Meanwhile, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect alone could defeat the combined forces of Lucjan Owen and the First Blood Emperor. Not only that but there were also Bennett Caden and other martial artists of the ancient martial world. Even if the Gu Sect had set up a foolproof trap in Malgudi, James was unafraid.
Soon, Delainey arrived.
“James, the preparations are in order. All the martial artists have gathered at the Mount Thunder Sect.”
“Okay…” James nodded slightly and said, “Let’s move out. We’re running out of time. We have to hurry over to the Mount Thunder Sect and meet up with the various sects. Then, we will head over to Malgudi.”
James looked at Thea who was beside virtual-novel.net and grabbed virtual-novel.net hand, saying, “I’ll be going to Malgudi to save the abducted martial artists. I’ll be back once I annihilate the Gu Sect.”
Thea nodded gently and said, “Be careful, alright? Remember not to overexert yourself. No matter what, staying alive should be your utmost priority. I’ll be waiting for you in the Capital.”
“Don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine.”
James was confident that virtual-novel.net could obliterate the Gu Sect. Even if Lucjan would not show himself, virtual-novel.net would deal the Gu Sect a devastating blow.
After saying that, virtual-novel.net left alongside Delainey.
Meanwhile, Thea also prepared to set out. However, there was Delilah to worry about.
How would virtual-novel.net explain herself when James questioned Delilah upon his return?
“Why are you staring at me, Thea?” Being stared at by Thea made Delilah blush.
She hurriedly touched virtual-novel.net face and asked, “Is there something on my face?”
Thea recollected herself and said, “Now that James has left, there will no one here to protect you. I’m worried that you might be in danger. After all, many people are trying to abduct you and interrogate you about your father’s whereabouts. How about this? I’ll send you to the Cadens’ residence, and you’ll stay there temporarily. How does that sound?”
Thea wanted to get Delilah out of the way. That way, virtual-novel.net would be able to head over to Malgudi and help James out in the shadows.
“O-Okay.” Delilah understood the severity of the situation.
Since virtual-novel.net thought that Thea was an ordinary woman just like her, virtual-novel.net believed that heading over to the Cadens’ residence was the safest option.
Then, Thea left alongside Delilah and headed to the Cadens’ residence.
***
At the Cadens’ residence…
Maxine glanced at Delilah before looking at Thea and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Thea said, “Since James is gone, I was worried that Delilah would be in danger at my house. So, I brought virtual-novel.net here. I’ll bring virtual-novel.net back only when James returns.”
“Oh, I see…” Realization dawned on Maxine’s face.
As virtual-novel.net knew Thea’s identity, virtual-novel.net knew what virtual-novel.net was up to.
