Herschel was of the opinion that James had to die. However, since his crush Thea had come personally to make a request, he
could not simply turn her down. So, he came up with other plans to get rid of James. Since James’ physical strength was at the
peak of the Seventh Heaven Grand Emperor Rank, he would send Grand Emperors at the peak of the Ninth Heaven to stop him.
Not only that, but he would also set up terrifying Formations to annihilate James.
Meanwhile, James was lost in contemplation. Herschel had made a compromise. If James could successfully reach Mount
Heavenly Path, all grudges would be set aside. However, she was worried that James would fail.
“Just send your disciples to block his way. There’ll be no need for Formations. If you agree, I will return to the Callahans at once
and inform James about this.” After some contemplation, Thea said.
Herschel contemplated.
After considering the strength of the prodigies at the Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor Rank in the previous Grand Tournament, he
nodded and said, “Sure, it’s a deal then.”
Then, he casually waved his hand, and a map appeared before Thea.
He said, “This is the route from the Callahans to Mount Heavenly Path. James must proceed according to the routes.”
Upon accepting the map, Thea simply turned to leave without uttering a single word.
When she reappeared, she was already at the Callahans.
For the past few days, James had been searching for Thea, hoping to converse with her. However, she was nowhere to be seen.
At that moment, he was sitting on a wall in the courtyard while nibbling a nip of grass as he stared blankly into the distance.
novelebook.comWhen Thea appeared before him all of a sudden, he immediately leaped down from the wall and said with a
bright smile, “You’re back, Thea.”
“Mhm.”
Thea nodded slightly.
As she entered the courtyard, she took a seat in a seating area in the courtyard. Then, she tugged at her dress to prevent her
underwear from being seen.
James walked toward her and sat beside her.
“I’ve just returned from Mount Heavenly Path.”
Thea said, “I pleaded for clemency for you. Herschel has agreed to stop pursuing you. However, he has a demand.”
Then, she simply narrated Herschel’s request to James.
James remained silent.
Thea continued, “Sienna will be waiting for you at Mount Heavenly Path in a wedding gown. If you reach Mount Heavenly Path,
not only will you resolve the grudge between you and Mount Heavenly Path, but you will also marry Sienna. Whether or not you
can benefit from such a great deal depends on your strength.”
James said, “I have no problem heading to Mount Heavenly Path. No matter what prodigies stand in my way, I will defeat them
all. However, don’t you think we are rushing the marriage thing?”
Thea glanced at him.
James sighed and said, “Thea, can’t you tell I have a crush on you? I came here to the Callahans for you. I love you.”
James confessed.
Thea, on the other hand, only said coldly, “There’s no way you and I will be together. So give up on that thought. Sienna’s a fine
girl. Her smile is better than my ice-cold expression anyway.”
James, however, said with firm determination, “Even if you don’t like me now, you definitely will in the future.”
Thea stood up and said, “We’ll talk about the future some other time. Now, you will first need to marry Sienna. If you make me
fall for you in the future, I don’t have anything against polygamy. Go and prepare. You’ll depart for Mount Heavenly Path in three
months.”
Then, Thea turned to leave without giving James the chance to retort.
James sighed.
Sienna was right. Thea was too assertive.
“Polygamy?”
James laughed bitterly.
