James remained silent after listening to what Morgott said.


    Behind him, Herodias and Yegor exchanged a nce. Both of them were frowning slightly.


    If James were to agree to cooperate with Morgott, the two of them would make an indestructible team.


    Even though they were both Ninth Xaeclon Rank cultivators who possessed the Tirta Power, Yegor and


    Herodias were still no match for the pair.


    Still, the couple believed that James would not do that. That was because James was very different


    from Morgott, especially in terms of his personality.


    The Yin governor, his wife, would always be James’ first priority. She meant the world to him. Moreover,


    they just had another kid. The child’s presence would also give James courage and a sense of


    purpose.


    A short whileter, James nced over his shoulder at Yegor and Herodias, who were staring at him.


    Then, he turned his eyes to Thea, who was still lying on her back while levitating mid-air.


    There was a sh of determination in his eyes. It seemed like James hade to a decision.


    “What’s there to consider about, James?” Morgott prodded him.


    “You can achieve great things instantly if you just agree to my terms.


    What’s holding you back?”


    James drew a long breath. Then, he beamed a smile at the baby.


    “You possessed my child’s body, but you said you want to be my friend. Isn’t that too much of a loss on


    my side?”


    Morgott paused briefly. “What do you mean?”


    James replied, “Shouldn’t you call me daddy?”


    Morgott paused again for a few seconds before shouting angrily, “I see you as a friend, James! Yet, you


    want to be my father?! You…” “That’s right.” James interrupted, “If you truly see me as a friend, get out


    of my child’s body right now. Otherwise, you’ll forever lose the chance to work with me again.” Morgott


    fell silent.


    “I know you are doing this because you want to use me to undo the seal on your main body.” James


    continued, “You don’t have to resort to doing something like this to achieve your purpose.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “Also, you seem to have forgotten something. This isn’t the first time you’ve possessed one of my


    children’s body. Did I give in back then?”


    Morgott was reminded of Hetsema upon hearing those words. However, he knew very well that


    Hetsema could notpare to James’ newborn, who was a Hongrome Child.


    Still, Morgott was aware that James was not someone who could be forced to do something against his


    will through threats or ckmail.


    James would never consider working with someone who did that to him.


    Morgott grumbled a few secondster, “You… You’re as stubborn as a mule!” James smiled faintly.


    “Morgott, you and I have different beliefs and discipline in life.


    “However, we both hate rules and restrictions. That is the reason why we can somewhat understand


    each other.


    “You and I have different goals in life. You won’t like it if I force you to live ording to my rules. Did


    you think I’d like it if the situation was reversed?” Morgott let out a deep sigh. “In the end, you and I


    can’t see eye to eye and work together?”


    “There’s no good in forcing people with different ideals to work together.” James exined, “What I


    want is to have a happy and peaceful life with my family.


    “On the other hand, you aim to get your revenge and rule over all the worlds.


    “I can’t deny that we may face the same enemies and probably even work together to solve certain


    issues in the early stages. However, we will have to part ways eventually.


    “It might sound like a joke, but I was the one who married into my wife’s family.


    However, I don’t think that’s a shameful thing.


    “On the contrary, my wife and I share a close rtionship. We areplete when we have each other.


    “If I die, my wife and my friends will try everything they can to avenge my death.


    I would do the same for them too.


    “It’s probably something you won’t ever experience. Simrly, I have no desire to experience the thrill of


    killing and trampling over others that you crave.”


    After listening to those words, Morgott sighed in resignation. It seemed like he somehow had a better


    understanding of James now. “Frona, you were right. I simply don’t know what to do with this guy now.”
