The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 7114

Naturally, the sly and calculative Xanthakos had considered pretending to agree with Jamesʼ request first but not following through afterward.

However, he knew very well that the clever and cautious James would surely get him to enter into a soul contract to prevent instances like that.

If Xanthakos agreed to Jamesʼ terms, the situation would be completely reversed.

Instead of James helping him, it would be Xanthakos helping James to rise to the Supreme Pathʼs position by risking everything he had.

James furrowed his brows as he observed the torn expression on Xanthakosʼ face.

“Whatʼs the matter? Are you aiming for the Supreme Pathʼs position as well?”

Xanthakos snapped out of his reverie and shook his head. “Only Chosen Ones are qualified for the Supreme Pathʼs position. Iʼm clearly not qualified. Itʼs just that…”

James said, “Go on.”

“Itʼs not up to me to decide whoʼs the next Supreme Path.” Xanthakos looked at him. “A complicated set of procedures is involved. First and foremost, you need the approval of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. Otherwise…”

“You donʼt have to worry about that.” James cut him off. “You just have to sign a soul contract stating that youʼll support me in becoming the Supreme Path.”

“No… No!” Xanthakos unknowingly raised his voice. “I canʼt possibly tamper with the impartiality of the Supreme Pathʼs selection process. You certainly have my full support, James. However, I might lose the position of the Path Emperor if I signed that soul contract with you.”

James chuckled as he took in the troubled look on Xanthakosʼ face.

“Iʼm telling you the truth, James.” Xanthakos continued, “You can ask Frona if you donʼt believe me.

“Sheʼs the leader among the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness, yet even she canʼt decide who gets to be the Supreme Path!”
