Chapter 1791


    Meanwhile, Thea sat beside James and remained silent.


    After some time, James looked at Thomas and Nichs and said, “Grandpa, Dad, I’m not interested in


    participating in your ns. However, I promise I won’t get in your way. Do whatever you wish. Thea and


    I will be living in seclusion from now on.”


    Upon hearing this, Thomas was dismayed.


    “James, I really wish you can lend me a hand. You’re the only one closest to crossing into the ninth


    rank. Not only that, but the Cadens are besieged by enemies on all sides-the Prince of Orchid


    Mountain, the Omniscient Deity, and the Blood Race. We’ll all benefit greatly from ying the dragon.


    Soon, many powerful martial artists will emerge. Without your help, it’ll be impossible for us to achieve


    our goal.”


    Thomas continued, “James, I really hope you can lend me and the Cadens a helping hand. With you


    and Thea by our side, it’ll only be a matter of time before the Cadens dominate the world.”


    Still, James was unimpressed.


    He looked at Nichs and asked, “Dad, I’ve never seen my mother, nor have I ever heard you


    mentioning her. Who exactly is she?”


    James asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.


    Upon hearing this, Nichs fell silent. After some time, he said, “I don’t know who your mother is


    either.” “When I was twenty, I took in an injured woman I encountered outside the Cadens’ residence


    and tended to her injuries. We ended up having sexual intercourse. However, she disappeared without


    a trace after giving birth to you.


    “I know nothing about her background nor how she’s currently doing. Perhaps she’s still alive


    somewhere. “The only thing I know is her name, Xandra Lafleur.”


    Nichs said.


    All these years, he had been searching for Xandra. However, he could not find her no matter how hard


    he tried.


    “I see…”


    Then, James asked, “Do you have a photograph of her?”


    Nichs rummaged through his wallet, pulled out a yellowish photo, and handed it over to James.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    James scrutinized the yellowed photo. The woman in the photo was beautiful and innocent-looking. “Is


    she my mother?”


    Pensive, James looked at the photo.


    Thea leaned over to him to have a glimpse at the woman.


    Then, James returned the photo to Nichs and said, “Grandpa, Dad, please leave. I won’t ept


    your proposal.”


    Thomas sighed in frustration. Since James was unwilling to help him out, he had no other choice but to


    leave with Nichs.


    Three dayster, at a random vige in Sol….


    Every single building in this vige had been destroyed. Behind the vige was a mountain.


    A man and a woman were holding swords in their hands.


    They were James and Thea.


    Thea looked at the dpidated vige and said, “Back then, I’d seen some skeletal remains in the


    house upon returning from farm work. Then, I lost consciousness, and the powerful aura I exuded


    destroyed the entire vige.”


    James smiled and said, “Indeed, a lot has happened over the past year. Finally, everything’s resolved.”


    “Let’s go.”


    Thea pulled James’ hand and said, “Let’s go to the back of the mountain and bury the Malevolent


    Sword and the Primordial Dragon de. From today onward, we will have nothing to do with the affairs


    of the ancient martial world.”


    “Mhm.”


    James nodded.


    Then, they headed to the back of the mountain. There was a pond, and the two stood by the edge of


    the pond.


    Thea tossed the Malevolent Sword into the pond. Soon, the Malevolent Sword sank into the depths of


    the water James followed suit and tossed the Primordial Dragon de into the pond as well. Then,


    hand in hand, the two turned to leave.
