At the same time, in Cansington…
Cynthia walked out of virtual-novel.net room wearing pajamas. Unable to fall asleep, virtual-novel.net headed to the living room downstairs and scrolled through the Martial Arts Forum. She wanted to know if anything significant had happened over the past few days.
The moment virtual-novel.net logged into the forum, virtual-novel.net saw two messages that James had posted.
Upon reading through the messages, virtual-novel.net could not help but exclaim, “J-James is still alive?”
She could not believe virtual-novel.net eyes. Holding the phone in virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on a door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Maxine! Maxine!”
However, no matter how hard virtual-novel.net knocked, no one answered the door. So, virtual-novel.net pushed the door open and entered the room.
When virtual-novel.net entered, virtual-novel.net saw Maxine sitting in a lotus position on the bed. Wearing white pajamas, virtual-novel.net long black hair was on end, and virtual-novel.net eyes were bloodshot. Green veins were popping out all over virtual-novel.net face.
Cynthia’s blood ran cold and virtual-novel.net unconsciously turned to leave.
Swoosh!
In an instant, Maxine appeared before virtual-novel.net and choked her. Fortunately, Maxine immediately regained consciousness.
Her eyes and complexion returned to normal, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly released Cynthia, asking, “What happened, Cynthia?”
Upon seeing Maxine return to normal, a chill ran down Cynthia’s spine as virtual-novel.net said, “You were scary just now, Maxine!”
“I-Is that so?”
Maxine was puzzled. She only remembered that virtual-novel.net was in the middle of cultivating and had no recollection of what happened a moment ago. Ever since the incident at the Floret Palace three years ago, Maxine had returned to Cansington to live alongside Cynthia and Tiara.
“Y-Yes… Maxine, did you just experience Energy Deviation?” Cynthia looked at virtual-novel.net fearfully.
Maxine shook virtual-novel.net head slightly and said, “I don’t know either. I only know that I will lose control of myself sometimes as my strength increases. Desires will surface in my mind. Not only that, but a mysterious power will appear whenever I catalyze True Energy. Sometimes, I have a feeling that I’m being controlled by it.”
“Huh? What’s going on?” Cynthia asked.
Maxine shook virtual-novel.net head slightly and said, “Nevermind… In any case, I’ll be careful from now on. By the way, is something the matter?”
Cynthia pulled virtual-novel.net phone out and handed it over to Maxine.
“There’s a user on the Martial Arts Forum who claims to be James!”
Maxine was stunned when virtual-novel.net heard this. With shivering hands, virtual-novel.net took the phone and read through James’ message.
“Is that really him?” Maxine could not believe virtual-novel.net eyes.
Three years ago, the entire Floret Palace was flattened, and the mountain on which Floret Palace was constructed was reduced to rubble. Many searched for James but to no avail.
To Maxine, James was already dead. He only existed in virtual-novel.net memories. Now that this happened, virtual-novel.net was both overjoyed and stunned.
“Maxine, do you think he’s James?” Cynthia asked.
Maxine returned the phone to Cynthia and said, “In any case, I’m heading over to Mount Bane.”
Then, virtual-novel.net changed out of virtual-novel.net sleepwear and headed to Mount Bane immediately.
