James caught a glimpse of the sadness that flashed in virtual-novel.net eyes. However, virtual-novel.net could only pretend not to notice anything.
He stood up and said, “What do you want for lunch? It’s my treat…”
Quincy took out virtual-novel.net phone, checked the time, and said, “I’m afraid I don’t have the time to have lunch with you. I’ve already resigned from my position as the head of New Era Commerce. Xiomara is managing it right now. I’m currently working in Cansington and took a leave to meet up with you after getting your call. So, I’ll have to leave first.”
She raised the dragon blood and said, “Thanks for the dragon blood… Bye!”
After speaking, virtual-novel.net turned and left. She took a few steps and stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks.
She turned around with a smile and said, “Remember, you still owe me one meal. If we have the chance to… To meet again…”
As Quincy spoke, virtual-novel.net choked up and could not finish virtual-novel.net sentence.
She wanted to pretend to be fine as if virtual-novel.net did not care. However, virtual-novel.net could no longer keep up with virtual-novel.net pretense.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net cried. Tears pooled in virtual-novel.net eyes.
James could not bear to see Quincy like this and turned away.
“Treat me to a meal if we ever get the chance to meet again.” She finally finished virtual-novel.net words.
Then, virtual-novel.net walked toward James and embraced virtual-novel.net from behind.
“C-Could you give me a hug once?” virtual-novel.net asked softly.
James really wanted to return virtual-novel.net hug but held back. He should be firm if virtual-novel.net wanted to end the relationship thoroughly.
James did not move, and Quincy immediately knew the answer. She let go of James and turned around, leaving the private room.
After virtual-novel.net left, James heaved a long sigh of relief.
Initially, virtual-novel.net had no plans to do this and simply wanted to run away. However, virtual-novel.net still chose to end these relationships. It was better to have short-term pain than to prolong it.
It was best for everyone if virtual-novel.net ended everything once and for all.
Afterward, James headed to Cynthia’s villa.
Cynthia was alone at home.
For the past year, virtual-novel.net had stayed in the villa most of the time. She cultivated when virtual-novel.net had nothing to do and studied the cultivation method recorded on the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.
Since virtual-novel.net had a pure yin physique, Cold Energy would continuously be generated within virtual-novel.net body, allowing virtual-novel.net to rapidly improve virtual-novel.net cultivation base. In just over a year, virtual-novel.net had activated all virtual-novel.net body’s meridians and entered the fifth rank.
Ding-dong!
Her doorbell rang.
Cynthia opened virtual-novel.net door in virtual-novel.net pajamas. She was overjoyed to see it was James.
With joy, virtual-novel.net asked, “James, w-what brings you here?”
James was very calm in front of Cynthia since virtual-novel.net had no emotional relationship with her. He simply came to say goodbye.
“Cynthia…” He said with a smile, “Why? Am I not welcome?”
“N-Not at all. Come inside!” She warmly invited James into the room.
After James entered the house, virtual-novel.net took out the dragon blood virtual-novel.net had prepared in advance and said, “Cynthia, I’ll be leaving. I came to bid farewell to you. I’m thankful for the help the Dawns have given me over the past year. I don’t have anything to give you before I leave. I brought back a lot of dragon blood from the island overseas and wanted to give you some. Dragon blood can make one immortal.”
After virtual-novel.net finished speaking, virtual-novel.net handed over the dragon blood.
Cynthia knew about the dragon because virtual-novel.net teacher was Callan. Some time ago, Callan had also stayed at virtual-novel.net house for a few days to guide virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net training.
“Huh?” She was shocked by James’ gift and exclaimed, “Dragon blood? I-Isn’t this too valuable to be given to me?”
James smiled and said, “I’ve got a lot.”
“Alright…” With James’ reassurance, Cynthia accepted it.
After accepting it, virtual-novel.net asked, “When are you leaving?”
James replied, “Pretty soon. Perhaps in a few more days.”
He was still waiting.
Something had been on his heart for a long time, his family.
