Chapter 1796
Hearing this, James could not help but be stunned. He never expected there to be such drastic changes in the ancient martial world in just three short years.
It seemed everyone had benefitted greatly from slaying the dragon three years ago. Things were even more chaotic now than they had been back then.
“By the way, what about the Blood Race? What have they been up to over the past three years?” James asked.
Callan said, “They’ve been keeping a low profile all this while. Apart from the First Blood Emperor who would occasionally show himself once in a while, the rest almost never appeared in public. They might be intimidated by the Solean ancient martial artists.”
“I see…”
James said.
Then, holding the wine glass in his hand, he said, “What’s the point of knowing all this? I’m now living a happy and carefree life. I’m not getting myself involved in this.”
“But, can you stay out of it?”
Callan said, “Many powerful martial artists have emerged. You’ve cultivated the Lunar and Terra Art, an extraordinary martial art. Although you’ve yet to cross into the ninth rank, you aren’t someone to mess with. Aren’t you tempted to face them in battle?”
“Not interested.”
James leaned against his chair.
Their baby was due in two months, not to mention he had no desire to leave this tiny village. Living a life of seclusion served him fine.
“True.”
Callan said with a smile, “If only everyone could live a desire-free life like you, the world would be a much simpler and kinder place.”
“Hehe…”
James smiled faintly and said, “Alright, I have to plant the herbs I picked in the mountains.”
Hearing this, Callan took his leave.
Meanwhile, in Floret Palace…
It was a majestic palace. In the lead of the main hall sat a twenty-year-old-looking woman. Dressed in an elegant costume, her glamorous-looking face wore an ice-cold expression.
Many were kneeling before her.
“Master, we’ve found James Caden’s whereabouts. He has retreated into a secluded village in the southeast alongside Thea Callahan Not only that, but Thea is pregnant. Her baby is due in two months.”
The man kneeling spoke fearfully.
The woman in the lead was Maxine, Master of Floret Palace.
She was called Maxine Caden in the past. However, she had severed all ties with her former household.
Maxine slowly stood up and said, “I understand. You’re dismissed.”
Though her voice was melodious, it was ice-cold.
She slowly walked out of Floret Palace.
A day later, she arrived at the residence of the Hansels in the southwest. The Hansels were an ancient family. However, they were a comparatively weaker family, with their most powerful members only at the fifth rank.
Today was the ninetieth birthday of Favion Hansel, the head of the Hansels. Various aristocrats and billionaires from the southwestern region gathered to celebrate.
Dressed in a red suit, Favion welcomed the guests warmly.
The scene was lively.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
The sound of footsteps could be heard, and a woman walked in.
The moment she walked in, she immediately became the limelight of the show. Silence filled the bustling venue, and everyone’s gaze was fixed on her.
The woman was wearing an elegant dress, and the charisma she exuded stunned the crowd.
“Wh-Who is she?”
“She’s so beautiful…”
“Is she a fairy?”
