James rushed out of the ruined courtyard like a madman.
“Where did you go? Where in the world could you have gone?!”
At that moment, virtual-novel.net was like a crazed beast and struggled to form coherent thoughts. He had no idea where virtual-novel.net was headed, nor did virtual-novel.net know where to find Thea.
“Cansington! Right, it must be Cansington!”
The idea suddenly popped into James’ mind. He immediately rushed to the military region, boarded a private plane, and rushed to Cansington.
More than half an hour after James had left, Maxine arrived at the courtyard. However, James was nowhere to be seen when virtual-novel.net arrived.
All that was left was the ruined courtyard. She stood outside the ruins, and virtual-novel.net lips curved into a frown. Although virtual-novel.net knew James would flip out after finding out Thea had left, virtual-novel.net believed that it would only be temporary.
Maxine was sure James would overcome his sadness and cheer up again. She simply needed to wait until virtual-novel.net recovered from the initial shock.
***
Half a day later.
James rushed into the Callahans’ villa in Cansington.
As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the Callahans’ villa, virtual-novel.net bumped into Gladys, who was carrying virtual-novel.net bag and about to head out.
He rushed over to virtual-novel.net and shouted, “Did Thea come back?”
“Huh?” Gladys was startled by the figure that suddenly rushed in and shouted at her.
After realizing it was James, virtual-novel.net sighed in relief.
With a bright smile, virtual-novel.net responded to him, “James, my good son-in-law. You’re back?”
“Did Thea come back? Where is she? Where’s Thea?” James bellowed frantically at her.
Gladys was taken aback by his shouting.
After a few seconds, virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net senses and said, “Shouldn’t Thea be with you? Hasn’t virtual-novel.net been staying in the Capital all this while?”
“What? She didn’t return here?” James looked like virtual-novel.net had been struck by lightning.
His legs gave way, and virtual-novel.net collapsed to the floor, unable to get back up.
Gladys was unsure of what had happened.
When virtual-novel.net witnessed James’ unusual expression, virtual-novel.net did not dare to approach or speak to James.
James stayed on the floor for about a minute. Then, virtual-novel.net suddenly stood up, turned, and left silently.
***
Three days later…
“Have you heard about James revealing the news about how virtual-novel.net has the Novenary Golden Pills? The very same ones that are fabled to allow a martial artist to enter the ninth rank and attain immortality. He spread the news that virtual-novel.net would reward anyone who had information on Thea’s whereabouts with a Novenary Golden Pill.”
“Yeah, I heard about it…”
“The whole world is looking for Thea.”
“How did this happen? What happened to Thea? Why is James looking for her?”
“Who knows?”
“Perhaps they had a lover’s quarrel.”
News about James’ search for Thea quickly spread through the ancient martial world.
The Novenary Golden Pills were a tempting reward and enticed many martial artists to join the search for Thea.
After James released the news, virtual-novel.net headed to the Jade Sect with the Primordial Dragon Blade.
Countless mountains surrounded Mount Jade.
At the foot of a thousand-meter-high mountain, a lone man appeared. He held a sword in his hand.
It had a white scabbard, but the sword hilt was golden with a dragon head carved on top.
It was James who had rushed to Mount Jade.
Thea disappeared without a trace after leaving virtual-novel.net letter.
James went to Cansington to search for virtual-novel.net but turned up nothing. He searched everywhere but could not find a trace of Thea. So, virtual-novel.net had martial artists all around the globe look for her. However, several days passed without any further news on virtual-novel.net whereabouts.
James had come to Mount Jade to seek information from Jade Sect’s leader, the Omniscient Deity.
Once virtual-novel.net reached the mountain’s base, virtual-novel.net leaped a few steps and appeared halfway up the mountain.
In a few seconds, virtual-novel.net arrived at the mountaintop.
He traveled at such speeds that it seemed as if his body was as light as a feather.
“Who’s there?” James’ sudden appearance caught the attention of Jade Sect’s disciples.
Immediately, a dozen or so disciples surrounded virtual-novel.net with swords pointed at him.
“J-James…” After verifying James’ identity, the disciples backed away in fear.
At that moment, James sported stubble on his chin and had a slightly unkempt appearance.
“Where’s the Omniscient Deity? I want to meet with virtual-novel.net immediately!”
