“Thea, you’re home already?” James entered the Callahans’ villa and greeted Thea with a smile upon seeing her.
“You’re here, James…”
“James, please have a seat.”
“Quick, make some tea for James.”
The Callahans scrambled around to serve James as soon as virtual-novel.net arrived. However, James simply ignored their hospitality and had his eyes fixated on Thea.
Seeing Thea pouting in dissatisfaction, virtual-novel.net touched his chin pensively while virtual-novel.net thought to himself.
What’s wrong with virtual-novel.net this time?
I didn’t do anything to make virtual-novel.net mad, right?
“Thea…”
“James…”
The two called out simultaneously.
“You go first!”
Both of them spoke in unison again.
Thea blushed and remained silent, waiting for James to speak.
James smiled and said, “I’ll go first, then… I’m planning to stay in the Callahans’ villa from now on.”
“Okay,” Thea replied softly.
She acted like virtual-novel.net did not care about virtual-novel.net staying in their house.
“I wanted to ask you what this is.”
Thea took out a black steel wire and handed it to James, saying, “I realized I’ve been carrying this on me all this while, but I couldn’t recall what it is.”
“It’s Exalter…” James looked at Thea and asked, “By the way, where’s your Malevolent Sword?”
Thea shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “I don’t know what the Malevolent Sword is. I don’t remember it. So, how do I use this Exalter thing?”
Thea was curious.
James got up, walked over, and sat beside her.
Thea moved slightly away from virtual-novel.net and kept a certain distance.
She pointed at virtual-novel.net and said demandingly, “That’s good enough. You can sit there. Don’t come closer.”
Hearing this, James smiled. Then, virtual-novel.net began to explain Exalter’s applications.
It was basically the same as Crucifier. The difference was one was used to save lives, and the other was used to take lives.
“I see…”
After learning how to disintegrate the black steel wire into needles, Thea stood up, picked up Exalter, and headed upstairs.
The Callahans sat aside and did not say a word.
After Thea left, Lex looked at James and asked eagerly, “James, I noticed you’ve grown increasingly younger as you aged. I’m growing old and don’t have many more years to live. I heard you’re a martial artist. Could you give me a few pointers? I’d also like to live a few more years.”
The Callahans had settled in the Capital. Moreover, the family had become a member of New Era Commerce.
The Callahans were thriving with Quincy’s help. They had already become one of the most powerful families in Sol.
Lex had experienced a lot in the past year and learned many inside stories. Thus, virtual-novel.net naturally discovered that James was a martial artist. He also knew that Thea was a martial artist but had lost virtual-novel.net cultivation base. The stronger one got, the more one would fear death.
Lex had just led the Callahans to glory, and virtual-novel.net did not want to die so soon.
David also looked at James pleadingly and said, “James, I also want to become a powerful martial artist!”
“I also want to become a martial artist, James!” Tommy followed suit.
The whole family looked at James eagerly.
James frowned.
Martial arts were not for anyone. It depended on one’s talent. However, virtual-novel.net did not want to break their spirits.
After thinking for a while, virtual-novel.net said, “I really don’t have the time to teach you guys right now. How about you get Thea to teach you after virtual-novel.net recovers virtual-novel.net memory? She’s incredibly powerful. That should do. I’ll go upstairs to check on Thea first.”
After James finished speaking, virtual-novel.net got up and walked to Thea’s room on the third floor.
“That stupid James. He’s so stupid! How could virtual-novel.net not come to see me for a month…”
As soon as virtual-novel.net reached virtual-novel.net room door on the third floor, virtual-novel.net heard Thea scolding virtual-novel.net from inside.
