The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 7113
'How much more shameless can he get? He's saying all that to pressure me! 'He's only doing it for his own greed and interest, yet he's making it sound as though he'll become the savior of all living beings,' James complained internally. Despite that, he maintained a charming smile on his face. "What's in it for me if I help you?"
"You can ask for just about anything!" Xanthakos seemed delighted. "You know how I've always been more than willing to accommodate you."
A small frown creased James' forehead.
Xanthakos continued to persuade James since he could sense the latter's
hesitation. "James, I know that your biggest wish is to reunite with your wife and kids. We can make that happen.
"However, you must understand that US having control over the Forty-Ninth Heaven and the Wuia Palace is necessary.
"Only then could we have a chance to defeat the returned Waitara Path's Soremsia, overcome the Leere Tribulation, and protect all living beings.
"It is both the work of fate and everyone's wish for you and me to work together." James was amazed by how Xanthakos described everything as if he was doing it for the greater good.
Yet, he did not mention a word about the Path Designation Bead, which was what Xanthakos was truly after.
If James had not been aware of the bead beforehand, he might have been convinced already by Xanthakos' seemingly sincere words. However...
James directed his gaze at Xanthakos. "You must have talked to my wife about this as well. What did she say?"
"You two have mentioned just about the same thing, but it shows how much the two of you care about each other." Xanthakos sighed and lifted his hand. A jade
pendant glowing with a silver light materialized on his palm.
James was amused at the sight of the pendant. Nevertheless, he wore an
expression of shock on his face.
"You recognize it, don't you?" Xanthakos smiled faintly. "Your wife said you would understand as soon as I showed you this."
James reached his hand forward. In an instant, the jade pendant was sucked toward his palm.
James held the pendant up and looked at it carefully as though he was trying to check its authenticity.
He said monotonously, "She accepted your request."
"She hoped that you would too." Xanthakos fixed him with an expectant gaze.
"It's for the sake of all living beings, after all. There are a few unresolved conflicts
between US. However, we should put those issues aside for now in the face of a greater crisis."
James' eyes narrowed. "I can help you. However, I want the position of the Supreme Path in return. Besides that, my wife will be acknowledged as the
Supreme Path's partner."
Xanthakos froze.
"What's wrong?" James raised his brows. "Am I asking for too much?" "Were... Weren't you uninterested in the position of the Supreme Path?"
Xanthakos tried to control his expression.
'You're doing so much to prevent the Leere Tribulation. I mustn't lose to you in that regard." James raised his chin slightly. "If I had the position of the Supreme Path, I would be able to help you even more in stopping the Waitara Path's Soremsia's return."
Xanthakos' heart dropped. He did not expect to get this request from James.
It was something more difficult for Xanthakos to swallow than James turning him down right away.
Xanthakos had just one goal. It was to seize the Wuia Palace and obtain the Path Designation Bead.
With the bead, he would be able to reign over all realms for as long as he wanted. He could exercise the authority of the Supreme Path even without needing the title.
If Xanthakos agreed to let James hold the Supreme Path's position, it would defeat the purpose of everything he was doing.
