Chapter 773


    After obtaining the second volume of the medical book, James was out of the woods for now.


    However, he still had quite a lot of things he needed to settle.


    Getting some help would make his life a lot easier.


    ke was the perfect man for the job.


    He came to the apartment unit the Blithe King had previously provided for them. Many soldiers were


    posted around the apartment block to keep ke in check. If ke really wanted to leave, these


    soldiers would not be nearly enough to stop Surprisingly, ke did not leave and obediently stayed in


    the unit for several days.


    James opened the door and walked inside.


    “Yo, you’re finally back.”


    As soon as James entered the apartment unit, ke greeted him with a bright smile. “You caused such


    a huge scene. I was so sure you were dead. You’re a really lucky guy, huh?”


    James smiled faintly as he walked toward the sofa. Then, he took a seat and made himself


    comfortable.


    His body was still frail, and standing on his feet for so long took a toll on him.


    ke casually tossed a cigar at him.


    James swiftly caught it between his fingers.


    “What were you looking for in that underground cavern?” ke asked as he sat down.


    James stretched out his hand at ke. “Pass me a lighter.”


    Grabbing a lighter from near him, ke slid it over the table to James.


    James lit the cigar in his hand and took a deep drag. This proved too much for him because he began


    violently coughing.


    Quincy immediately patted him on the back.


    James waved her away and said, “I’m fine.”


    ke’s eyes were glued on James, he was watching him like a hawk.


    “Nothing much. I was searching for a cultivation method,” James calmly replied.


    “What?”


    ke was blindsided by his answer. He stood up abruptly and stared down at James. “You went


    looking for a cultivation method?”


    “That’s right.”


    “Did you find it?”


    “Of course, I did.”


    James nodded and looked up. “Actually, I came here to get your reply. So how about it? Would you


    consider partnering with me?”


    ke squinted his eyes and sat down again. He was trying to get a feel for whether James was telling


    the truth.


    As the founder of the Dark Castle, he naturally kept apprised of thetest happenings in the hired guns


    industry. So, he already knew about the incident at Mount Dragon Treasure.


    He took a moment to deliberate carefully on the decision. He then opened his mouth, “I don’t want to


    die simply because I associated myself with you, James. Even if you obtained the method of cultivating


    True Energy and be a grandmaster, you simply don’t have what it takes to turn the situation


    around.”


    “Is that so?” James only gave him a disappointed smile.


    ke took a deep breath and asked, “Do you know how many grandmasters it took to destroy the Gu


    Sect a hundred years ago?”


    James shook his head.


    ke continued, “There are more grandmasters hidden in Sol than you think there are.”


    “Even so, I have to try. Whoever’s trying to bring unrest unto the world is an enemy of mine. Since


    you’ve already given me an answer, I can’t continue letting you roam freely outside. So now, you only


    have two options-return to prison or die.”


    “Bold of you to threaten me when you’re sitting here in your current condition” ke wore a grim


    expression.


    James looked at him and said coldly, “Don’t forget that you consumed the poison I developed. No one


    else is capable of neutralizing the poison except me. It’llpletely spread throughout your body in ten


    days. If you don’t take the antidote before then, your death is all but guaranteed. Why don’t you try


    counting how many days have passed since you were broken out of prison?”

    “James, you’re leaving me without a choice.” ke looked at him with a cold-blooded expression. He


    was ready to kill James at at moment.


    “I know. Now, do you want to cooperate with me or not? Think about it. Your record will be wiped clean


    and you’ll bring honor to your family for generations toe.”


    After saying that, James did not continue to press the question further and stood up to leave.


    ke watched James leave and angrily ran his hand over his face.


    Then, he mmed his fist into the table which broke apart instantly on impact.
