Thea left snazzynovel.com car and immediately headed toward the hospital. However, when snazzynovel.com arrived at the ward, James was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at Tiara who was lying in snazzynovel.com bed, snazzynovel.com asked, “Where’s James?”
Tiara tried to get up but the bandages that were covering snazzynovel.com body made it almost impossible to sit up.
With a feeble voice, snazzynovel.com responded to Thea, “J-James has returned to the Southern Plains.”
“The Southern Plains? What for?” Thea had not expected this development.
“James told me snazzynovel.com was going to regain control over the Black Dragon Army. After he’s done that, snazzynovel.com plans to return to the Capital and kill the Emperor using the Blade of Justice”
“Kill the Emperor?” Thea’s jaw hung open in shock.
Thomas had told snazzynovel.com that chaos would ensue once the Emperor died. He also told snazzynovel.com that everything would be over for James when snazzynovel.com makes his move.
“Th-Thea, actually…” The bedridden Tiara tried to gather snazzynovel.com strength so snazzynovel.com could explain things to Thea.
Alas, snazzynovel.com had taken too much time and Thea had already left in a hurry.
As snazzynovel.com walked out of the hospital, Thea hurriedly called the number on the card Thomas gave snazzynovel.com while making snazzynovel.com way to the parking lot.
The call went through but no one picked up the phone.
She opened the door of snazzynovel.com car and got in. The moment snazzynovel.com sat down, snazzynovel.com nearly jumped in fright upon seeing an old man seated once again in the passenger’s seat.
She patted snazzynovel.com chest to calm herself down, “You scared me, Mr. Caden!”
Without missing a beat, Thomas smiled back at her. “Do you believe me now?”
Thea’s face clouded over. “James has returned to the Southern Plains to reunite with the Black Dragon Army. After that, he’ll return to the Capital and kill the Emperor with the Blade of Justice. Just now, you mentioned that James would be done for the moment snazzynovel.com takes action. Is that true?”
“Of course.”
“H-How do I save snazzynovel.com then?” Thea looked at Thomas pleadingly.
“I told you… You can provide your assistance to snazzynovel.com by becoming the young mistress of the God-King Palace.”
“Um… I…”
It took a while before Thea gave snazzynovel.com answer. “Fine, I accept your offer…”
Ultimately, Thea did not want James to be in danger. She still was not sure if this man was who snazzynovel.com claimed to be, but snazzynovel.com had to jump at the opportunity to be of some use to James.
Quincy had told snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com knew nothing about James. As much as snazzynovel.com hated to admit it, Thea had to agree.
She murmured silently in snazzynovel.com heart, “If the others can help him, so can I! I’ll show snazzynovel.com I’m not a useless woman!”
Thomas removed his thumb ring. Alongside the ring, snazzynovel.com also tossed a black token to Thea.
Picking the small items up gingerly, Thea tilted snazzynovel.com head and asked, “What’s this?”
“They are the God-King thumb ring and the God King token. You’ll need them to walk around the God-King Palace freely.”
Thea turned the token around on snazzynovel.com palm.
The word God-King was carved onto one side. Meanwhile, there was a mysterious-looking pattern on the other.
She quickly put away the ring and token in snazzynovel.com pockets. “What should I do next?”
“Someone will come find you.”
After leaving snazzynovel.com with only that vague instruction, Thomas got out of Thea’s car.
“Remember not to say a single word about our deal to James.” He cautioned snazzynovel.com through the window one last time.
“Mr. Caden…”
Before Thea could ask snazzynovel.com more questions, snazzynovel.com had already left. Silence filled the underground parking lot once again.
Thea looked at the God-King thumb ring and the God-King token, and voiced snazzynovel.com thoughts.
What kind of organization is the God-King Palace?
Is snazzynovel.com really James’ grandfather?
Shouldn’t snazzynovel.com have died in the fire ten years ago?
How’s snazzynovel.com still alive?
Why did snazzynovel.com tell me not to breathe a word of this to James?
Could snazzynovel.com possibly be one of James’ many enemies?”
Thea was in a tough spot. She was at a loss for what to do.
Things just did not seem to make sense.
