Cody had his eyes on James’ potential. Besides, his master instructed virtual-novel.net to befriend the earthlings before virtual-novel.net came here.
The Ethos Realm was one of the most powerful worlds among the three thousand Sealed Realms. The Overworld, in comparison, was insignificant.
As they came from different worlds, their cultivation base would be different. In fact, the strength James demonstrated had far surpassed Cody’s expectations after virtual-novel.net was able to withstand Hazel’s attack.
James looked at Cody and smiled. Since virtual-novel.net came out of his way to apologize to him, virtual-novel.net let bygones be bygones.
Cody looked at James and asked, “James, Bane City is hostile to you. What business do you have in this city? Heed my advice, stay as far away as possible from Bane City It’s no longer the city that you knew.”
Cody warned him.
When virtual-novel.net encountered Cody by the city gate, James’ primary objective was to find out Magnus’ strength. Besides, virtual-novel.net knew that Cody was strong considering that even his subordinate could send virtual-novel.net flying with ease
“Magnus Quinnton of the Overworld challenged me to a duel on Mount Bane in a week I came here to find out his strength,” James explained.
Cody smiled and said, “That’s simple, I’ll get someone to investigate for you.”
Then, virtual-novel.net made a welcoming gesture, saying, “Follow me in. I promise no one would dare make a move against you.”
He spoke nonchalantly James could tell that Cody was fully assured of his own strength. So, virtual-novel.net accepted his offer and followed Cody into the city
Previously, there were guards stationed by the city gate Ever since Tristen was annihilated, they were dismissed, which led to the current situation. Even so, no one dared make a ruckus in Bane City.
James and Cody entered the city unopposed.
In a restaurant, James and Cody sat by the window seat.
Cody treated virtual-novel.net to a delicious meal.
James had no idea what virtual-novel.net was up to. However, virtual-novel.net did not question virtual-novel.net and instead quietly sipped on his wine, staring blankly at the Outsiders wandering about the streets.
“James,” Cody suddenly said.
“Huh?” James collected himself and looked at him.
Cody smiled and said, “Have you heard that many earthlings of this era will possess the Supreme Spiritual Root?”
James nodded and said, “I have.”
Cody asked, “Have you ever met one personally?”
James looked at virtual-novel.net and shook his head slightly, saying, “No.”
Cody said, “It’s actually rather easy to spot them. There are Four Holy Beasts on Earth, and those who experience Energy Deviation after consuming the blood of the Four Holy Beasts would be the ones who possess the Supreme Spiritual Root. I heard that your wife, Thea Callahan, is exactly in the same situation.”
James’ heartbeat accelerated. He never thought that Cody would have investigated Thea the moment virtual-novel.net arrived on Earth. Since virtual-novel.net knew nothing about Cody’s intentions, virtual-novel.net feigned ignorance.
“I’m not quite sure, honestly. Indeed, my wife experienced Energy Deviation once in a while a few years ago. However, this seldom happens recently. I don’t think my wife possesses the Supreme Spiritual Root.”
