Chapter 4104


    James looked at Jethro who was sitting on the throne.


    Jethro returned the gaze.


    Their gazes met.


    James was not afraid at all despite facing the Angel Race’s Patriarch who was a true Acmean. Even if


    he could not defeat him, he could simply flee.


    Both Jethro and James remained silent. The atmosphere was awkward.


    ‘You are Forty-nine, aren’t you?”


    After some time, Jethro spoke to break the awkward silence.


    “Mhm.” James nodded slightly and said, “I’m Forty-nine.”

    Jethro said, ‘You may be able to fool the others, but not me.”


    Hearing this, James was stunned. He murmured to himself, “Has he seen through me?”


    Jethro stared at James and said, “I never thought that a member of the Human Race would be able to


    ovee all obstacles and reach the Omniscience Path’s Seventh Stage even though the


    Omniscience Path has been severed.”


    Hearing this, James silently gathered his strength in preparation for his escape.


    Upon seeing James’ expression, Jethro said, “Calm down. I would have made my move from the very


    beginning if I wanted to take you down.”


    James breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not let his guard down. He simply stared at Jethro and


    remained silent.


    Jethro sighed and said, “It was not my race’s intention to attack the Human Race. However,


    considering that all the other major races of the Greater Realms have attacked, we would be


    marginalized or even ostracized if we simply sat by the sidelines. We cannot afford this.


    Besides, my race suffered enormous casualties during the war.”


    ‘What are you trying to say?” James asked coldly.


    James disliked all the races among the Ten Great Races. If he was strong enough, he would destroy


    them mercilessly to avenge the Human Race.


    “I wish to remind you that though your strength is formidable, you do not stand a chance against the


    combined might of every race out there. If you do not wish to meet your downfall just like the humans of


    the Heaven- Eradicating Sect, do your best to avoid attracting any attention. Don’t do anything to


    provoke the other races.”


    Jethro warned. Then, he waved slightly and said, ‘You concealed your aura well. However, I once


    befriended a human in the past. As such, I know the secret cultivation methods of the Human Race.


    That’s how I was able to sense your soul’s Genesis Aura. You may leave now.”


    Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he simply turned to leave the main hall.


    After he left, Jethro’s expression turned grim.


    “Humans really are a bunch of freaks. Just like that, an individual at the Omniscience Path’s Seventh


    Stage is born. If we allow him to develop further, he might be able to reach the Ninth Stage and


    be the second Soren men.”


    Jethro contemted.


    There was a deep grudge between the Human and Angel Races. He was wondering if he should


    annihte James before he emerged as a force to be reckoned with or maybe befriend him and resolve


    the deep-rooted grievances between the two races. After all, the potential of the Human Race was too


    great. If the Human Race and the Heaven-Eradicating Sect concealed themselves and focused on


    cultivating, a powerful individual would eventually emerge and break the hegemony of the Ten Great


    Races.


    ‘What a headache…”


    Jethro rubbed his temples.


    He could not make the decision whether to kill James or allow him to continue interacting with Leni.


    The only thing he was worried about was that James and Leni would develop a close bond.


    Considering that Leni did not have her guard up, James might be able to manipte her and


    eventually the Angel Race to do his bidding.


    “I guess I will exin the situation to Leni after the matter of the


    Deste Grand Canyon is resolved.”
