Chapter 7024


    James looked at Lesia and gradually shut his eyes. "Does my wife know all this too?"


    Lesia replied, "She''s aware of some of it. But since she hasn''t fully regained her identity as the Yin


    governor, she hasn’t regained all of her memories."


    James was struck by a mix of shock, emotion, and sorrow. He thought to himself, ''My silly wife. Even


    though she only knows fragments of the truth, she could''ve still shared them with me. With just one


    word, I would seize the position of Supreme Path without any questions. I could even challenge the


    Nine Nothingness Gods if she asked."


    After pondering for a while, James opened his eyes and asked, "What else have you hid from me? Lay


    it all out now. I don’t want any more secrets."


    Lesia looked at James and asked anxiously, "Are...are you not angry?”


    "Of course, I''m furious. ording to you, all my wife''s sufferings stem from the Leere Tribtion, which


    you''ve tasked her to resolve," James responded, discontent evident in his voice.


    "Why don''t you fix the mess you''ve made yourself? Is it because you hold yourself in such high regard


    that you''re not willing to?"


    Lesia fell silent.


    James smiled bitterly and said, ''''But thinking about it, if you hadn''t tasked my wife with such a


    burdensome duty, I might never have crossed paths with her. Forthat, I owe you thanks!”


    Lesia chuckled in relief after hearing James'' words.


    "I thought you were really going to turn against me."

    James looked at her, extended her hand, and said, "If you don''t give it to me, I might."


    Taken aback, Lesia asked, "What do you mean?"


    James replied, "Don''t y dumb. I''m not oblivious to your habit of stealing my Chaos Absinthe. You’ve


    umted quite a lot, no? Ms. Herodias had given me quite a lot."


    After a brief pause, Lesia burst intoughter.


    She waved her hand, and more than a dozen jars of Chaos Absinthe floated before James.


    Without hesitation, James took them all, uncorked one, and devoured its content.


    Lesia felt relieved after watching him.


    She felt the need to reflect on herself. She had underestimated James'' intellect,prehension, and


    even his foresight.


    For someone as proud as James, being manipted was a significant blow to his pride and dignity,


    and it was difficult to ept.


    However, James epted it with remarkable calmness, showing no anger but rather trying to


    understand it from a different perspective. He was a real man who knew when to let go of anger and


    think of the bigger picture.


    In him, the spirit of enduring criticism with a calm demeanor, even stooping low for the greater good,


    shone brightly.


    If a person like James could not achieve greatness, then who else would be worthy?


    After drinking half a jar of the Chaos Absinthe, James set it down and asked, "Should I continue


    negotiating with Qadeer?"


    Lesia replied smilingly, "Absolutely. We''re still in the Gate of Mystery, remember? Even though you''ve


    entered the Zenthur Rank, it''s impossible to escape this ce."


    James looked at Qadeer trapped outside the Nothingness Formation. "Is he really Emperor Jabari and


    Franciscus?”


    Lesia sighed and answered, "I know what you''re thinking. People embody both good and evil. His


    Soremsia is no exception.


    "If he desires kindness, he can surpass all beings. If he leans toward malice, he could embody pure


    evil.


    "It''s unfortunate that he has strayed too far. His lust for power had already blinded his eyes. In the end,


    he became the very devil he condemns."


    James shrugged, "He is willing to risk it all for his goal. Is there anything he actually cares about?”


    Lesia replied, "He wants to be the Supreme Path and also yearns for the Waitara Path’s return.


    Perhaps he might even harbor some affection for his children.


    James turned around and looked at Lesia. "Do you remember Lucille Babs?''


    Lesia nodded at his question.


    James squinted and said, "She''s Franciscus'' daughter. Doesn''t that also mean she''s Qadeer''s


    daughter, just like Yehria?"


    Lesia''s eyes widened in shock. "Are you suggesting..."


    James grinned and said, "Doesn’t he want to negotiate? Then, we’ll do it. However, we won''t be able to


    leave yet."


    Lesia looked at James with a mix of bewilderment and curiosity. She could not figure out what James''


    goal for staying within the Gate of Mystery was.


    Could he possibly be drawn to the abundant Innate Energy? Perhaps he wanted to seize Qadeer''s


    Gate of Mystery?


    Qadeer''s voice came from outside the formation. "I warn you, James! Frona is a scheming woman, and


    her words can be deceiving! You shouldn''t trust her.


    "Think about it. Whether I was Emperor Jabari, Franciscus, or one of the Yin and Yang elders, have I


    ever harmed you?


    "She''s our real enemy! We must unite to overthrow her and im back our worlds!"


    James and Lesia immediately exchanged meaningful smiles.


    "You want me to doubt myrades and trust an ambitious old scoundrel like you? I’d have to be


    insane." James looked at Lesia and asked, "Shall we put on a show?"


    Lesia agreed smilingly, "Sure. I''ll shed some tears for you."


    James smirked and pointed at her mischievously. Then, he swiftly dashed out of the Nothingness


    Formation.
