Chapter 1404


    James was familiar with the man’s voice.


    It was Can Maverick.


    Back then, he said he would note to Durandal and Mount Olympus. In the end, he came


    regardless.


    Crouching on the rock beside James, Can smoked a cigarette. As he watched Lucjan and the martial


    artists from the Gu Sect, his expression turned grim.


    “I haven’t regained all of my strength yet, but once I heard that Lucjan and some of the Gu Sect were


    here, I came here since I was worried that they could be up to no good. For the past one hundred


    years, Lucjan had kept a low profile while biding his time. He’s a cunning and terrifying man.”


    Can told James of his objectives.


    Looking at Lucjan in the distance, James said in a low voice, “Why do you think Lucjan brought the Gu


    Sect here in Durandal?”


    “How would I know? By the way, I’m retreating for now. Many are still hiding in the shadows. I have to


    be careful not to identally reveal my identity.”


    Can did not linger for long. He simply stood up and turned to leave.


    Soon, he was gone.


    ‘Hiding in the shadows?’ James stroked his chin as he thought about it.


    Who was Can referring to? Could they be ancient martial artists from Sol?N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    After brief contemtion, he put his thoughts aside the moment he noticed Pris was awake. He


    walked over to him. Before he could approach where the Pris Sect was located, the martial artists all


    red at him, alert. Some even brandished their weapons.


    James looked at them. A single nce was enough to send shivers down their spines. Unconsciously,


    they staggered backward.


    James casually walked over to Pris. Upon seeing Pris who was resting on a rock, a slight grin


    crept up on his face, “Are you alright, Archbishop Pris?”


    “Y-You…” Pris’ face paled, and he opened his mouth wide.


    James said smilingly, “I’m a doctor, by the way. Would you like me to have a look at your injuries?”


    “Trying to humiliate me, James?” Pris roared.


    However, his yelling aggravated his injuries, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. In his eyes, James


    was here to humiliate him.


    “What are you talking about, Archbishop Pris? Why would I be here to humiliate you? I’m just here


    to ask


    you a question and heal your injuries while I’m at it. Besides, I didn’t even go all out. You were the one


    who tried to ambush me, and I had no choice but to retaliate. Even so, I suppressed my True Energy,


    or else you’d be dead.”


    ”


    ”


    Pris opened his mouth, but no words came out of it.


    James grabbed his arm.


    “Wh-What are you trying to do?” Pris’ face paled as he struggled. However, he could not exert even


    a


    single ounce of strength. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that James was not up to


    no good.


    James took his pulse and said, “You’ll be alright. You just suffered some internal injuries from the


    Sword Energy. You’ll recover soon, I promise.”


    As he said that, a thin wire fell from his sleeves and immediately became a handful of needles. Holding


    Crucifier in his hand, he began using it to heal Pris’ injuries.


    The moment James began inserting the needles, Pris could feel his body ease up.


    “What…”


    He was stunned but before he could recollect himself, James inserted a few more needles. Instantly, he


    could feel his injuries recuperating.


    Stunned, he could not even utter a single word.


    James extracted the needles and looked at the stunned Pris, saying, “You should be fine now.


    However, you have to be careful not to overexert yourself. Rest well and you’ll recover in no time.”


    “T-This is unbelievable.”


    Pris could not believe his eyes.
