Chapter 1203


    It was Maxine.


    Maxine knew that James had saved Thea. After some hesitation, she decided to visit them.


    “I heard James is injured, so I’m here to pay him a visit.” Maxine’s expression wasposed, as


    though she could not feel a sense of guilt at all.


    “No need.”


    Thea was displeased with Maxine. If not for Maxine giving her idiotic ideas,


    Thea would not have attacked James. James would not have been injured, and Enter title… none of


    the ensuing problems would have arisen.

    “Are you trying to me me for this, Thea?” Maxine looked at her. “You know James best. If we don’t


    kill him now, he’ll turn the Mount Thunder Conference upside down. Many will perish by the Gu Sect’s


    hands. Can you bear watching James descend into evil? How are you different from Thomas Caden


    decades ago?”


    “No matter what he does, I’ll forever stay by his side.”


    m!


    After she said that, Thea mmed the door shut.


    “What the hell?” Maxine frowned. Thea was apletely different person now.


    ‘Could it be?’ Maxine thought of something.


    Thea returned to the room, and James had overheard their conversation. She walked over to him and


    said, “It’s Maxine.”


    “Yes, I heard her.” James nodded slightly. This was a critical moment. He believed it would be best not


    to meet with Maxine before the Mount Thunder Conference. After the conference was over, he would


    question her and understand why she instigated Thea to attack him.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    ‘Thea, open the door. Open the door, James. Do you know what you’ve done? How many more do you


    intend to kill?”


    Maxine kept knocking. However, the door remained firmly shut. After leaving a few remarks, Maxine


    turned to leave.


    Meanwhile, Aphrodite and Venus, who were keeping watch, looked at each other. Then, one of them


    left and reported to Lucjan about what had happened.


    Upon receiving the report, Lucjan said, “I understand… Watch James closely before the Mount


    Thunder Conferencemences. I want you to report to me every single individual he’s in contact


    with.”


    “Understood.”


    Inside James’ room…


    James was resting. Thea was beside him, massaging his shoulders. The two remained inside the room


    for a few hours.


    Thea only left in search of Thomas after sunset.


    At the same time, in Lucjan’s room…


    The Twelve Zodiacs had returned.


    “Mr. Owen, we have searched for hours at the bottom of the cliff. However, we found no trace of Mr.


    Quest’s whereabouts, nor did we find anything out of the ordinary.”


    Hearing this, Lucjan’s expression turned grim.


    Bryce had been following him for many years. He was a loyal subordinate who would never leave his


    side without notifying him. Besides, he saw Bryce descending the cliff with his own eyes.


    How did he disappear into thin air?


    Besides, Bryce was no ordinary man. He was a peak sixth-rank martial artist who had mastered the


    Shaolin signature martial art skill. Even a seventh-rank martial artist could never kill him without leaving


    a single trace.


    “Where did he go? What happened?”


    Lucjan was wearing a solemn expression.


    “Could it be that I’m being targeted by an eighth-rank martial artist?”


    Lucjan suspected James. However, James’ injuries were too severe. He could not even catalyze True


    Energy, let alone kill Bryce.


    “What should we do now, Mr. Owen?”


    ‘The Mount Thunder Conference is just around the corner. We have to proceed with caution in this


    period.”


    “Understood”
