Blake scanned James’ body.
“You look much better. Looks like your training has already borne fruit. Don’t forget your promise to teach me the cultivation method.”
James said with a smile, “Of course. However, I’m still in the process of learning. After cultivating my True Energy, I’ll pass the method on to you.”
“Did you also forget you owe me an antidote?.” Blake stretched out his hand.
“Get me a pen and paper. I’ll write the formula for you. You can go grab the medicine yourself.”
Blake immediately brought him a pen and paper.
James wrote down the prescription for the medicine that would detoxify the poison and handed it to Blake.
Blake took it and gave it a quick skim.
Countless medicinal materials that he did not recognize were written on it. Since he could not make heads or tails of it, he simply put it away.
James then spoke in a more serious tone, “I’ve got a mission for you.”
Blake looked at him and asked, “Hmm? What is it?”
James explained, “The Emperor has established many research facilities throughout the country. I don’t know where the other facilities are located, but I do know there is one in Cansington. It’s in Lily City and is heavily guarded by the Red Flame Army. I don’t know what kind of research they are doing, so I need you to find a way to sneak in and investigate.”
“What?” Blake furrowed his brows.
When he used to be an assassin, the last thing that he wanted to do was have a run-in with the military.
“Is it too hard for you?” James glanced at Blake.
“Of course! How do you expect me to secretly sneak into the facility when it’s guarded by fully-armed soldiers from the Red Flame Army? Why don’t you show me how it’s done?!”
James smiled back at him sarcastically. “You’re the Assassin King. I’m sure it’s well within your capabilities. Plus, the Elite Eight will be under your command. The Dark Castle will be nigh invincible with them helping you.”
“Fine. Whatever you say.”
Blake did not argue further.
Since he was now an ally of James, he had to help him with these kinds of situations.
“Alright, that’s all I have to say. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Okay, you can just see yourself out.”
James left Blake’s residence and walked outside.
He took out his phone and called May.
