James’ strength was no longer a secret. However, someone still sent him a letter of challenge.
There were only two possible explanations for this.
One was that his opponent was extremely powerful and had the confidence to defeat him.
The second possibility was that this was all part of a ruse.
According to James' assumption, it was the second.
He had a very strong feeling that something bad was going to happen in the Capital.
The other person was trying to draw him to Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains, a great distance away.
Despite knowing this, he had no choice but to go since he did not dare to take a gamble.
“Thea, I'm going to talk to Maxine about it.”
James was at a bit of a loss. Since he was in the thick of it, he could not assess the situation clearly. He needed to talk it over with someone else who was not involved.
“Okay.”
Thea did not get jealous either.
James stood up and left quickly without staying any longer.
After he left, the smile on Thea’s face faded and was replaced by a solemn expression. She picked up the letter of challenge on the table and stared at it for a while before pulling out her phone and calling a number.
“Use all the Celestial Sect's resources to find out who sent the letter to James.”
“Understood.”
A voice could be heard over the phone.
Thea then ended the call.
James had left Thea's house and was making his way to the Cadens' Mansion. He called Maxine as he was not sure if she was at the Cadens’ Mansion.
If she was not there, he would be making a pointless trip.
“Maxine, are you home?”
“Yes, I am.”
“I’m on my way to you right now.”
She paused after saying that.
“Whether this Rodent person is working alone or with someone else is currently unknown. Nevertheless, I do think he might have teamed up with someone.”
“Then who do you think this person is?” inquired James.
Maxine shook her head slightly and said, deliberating, “It's hard to tell. It might be Mr. Lance, but it could also be Lucjan. Perhaps there are other forces in the shadows as well. Don't dwell on it too much, James. Different situations call for different actions, and you’re not alone.”
Maxine sat beside James and could not help but take his hands in hers.
James tensed up slightly and cast a glance at Maxine.
He saw the flawless face in front of him, as well as her slightly fluttering lashes.
It took him a few moments to react and, with a slight struggle, pull away from Maxine’s hands.
Maxine smiled.
James' actions were exactly what she had expected.
He took a deep breath and said, “Given the current state of the Capital, I believe something is about to happen here. I‘m planning on going to the fight at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains, but I’m worried about the Capital.”
