Chapter 967


    After a short while, Thea felt a warm andfortable energy spreading throughout her body. The


    warmth seemed toe from the points where James had ced his needles.


    James carefully inserted energy-infused needles into her body.


    In an instant, there were already seven ced in various ces on Thea’s body.


    After the eight needles, his True Energy was almost spent.


    With this technique, a portion of the poison in Thea’s body had been sessfully expelled.


    However, there was a limit to using Crucifier this way. Thus, James could notpletely eliminate all


    the poison in Thea’s body.


    “Wait a while, Thea. I’ll go get some acupuncture needles.”


    “Alright.”


    Thea was lying on the sofa.


    She felt much better and was relieved that she was not going to die.


    James hurried off to get some acupuncture needles and returned to the office just as quickly. Then, he


    closed the door and started using acupuncture needles to expel the rest of the inside Thea.


    Within a few minutes, Thea’s body waspletely clear of the poison that gued it


    After regaining her strength, Thea quickly picked up her clothes and got dressed.


    James immediately started chastising her, “That waspletely irresponsible of you! I already told you


    not to act impulsively. You wouldn’t have made it if I were even a few minuteste!”


    “I-I didn’t have the time to think of something else. I thought I could suppress the poison in my body


    and expel it. I made a mistake while circting which caused the poison to spread normally. The


    poison then made its way through my body. I was flustered because of the stress of the situation and


    lostplete control over the poison.”


    Thea lowered her head and sulked like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.


    James did not further berate her for her actions.


    Fortunately this time, nothing had happened.


    “Don’t ever act so recklessly again. You’re not always going to be this lucky. I can’t save you every


    time.”


    “Okay,” Thea murmured dejectedly.


    “By the way, do you know have any idea where Quincy is?” James asked Thea about Quincy’s


    whereabouts yet again.


    The current situation was looking rather dire.


    Not only that, he was naturally not business savvy. Thus, he could not step up and take charge of


    Messiah even if he wanted to. He needed Quincy’s help to manage thepany.


    Thea lowered her head dispiritedly.


    She was not expecting James to still long for Quincy.


    Thea was aware of Messiah Corporation’s situation. With so many unexpected incidents, someone


    capable was needed to keep thepany afloat in hard times.


    She looked at James and said firmly as she put her hand on her chest, “Honey, I can do it. I’m just as


    good as Quincy. If you give me a chance, I’ll surely be able to save Messiah.”


    “Thea, this isn’t a game we’re talking about here.”


    James took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “There isn’t enough time


    for you to learn to manage thepany. There isn’t any room for mistakes right now. One wrong move


    and we’re doomed. I hope you can think of the big picture and stop acting so petntly. Things are


    bigger than your difort against other women.”


    “But I’m not trying to be childish!!!!”


    “Then tell me where Quincy is. I need to bring her back. She’s the one who established Messiah, and


    thepany is locked in a stalemate without her authority. Scarlett’s ability is limited, and she won’t be


    able to care for thepany alone,” James said grimly.


    Thea fell into silence.


    Thest thing she wanted at this moment was for Quincy to show up.


    Thea believed she could help him.


    However, James was not convinced her words contained anything other than empty promises.


    James reached out and put his hands on Thea’s shoulders.


    He looked her straight in the eye and said, “Thea, you’ve been with my grandfather for some time, so


    you should know what happened a hundred years ago and why Centennial Corporation exists today.


    They’re trying to aplish what they couldn’t a hundred years ago. Do you know the consequences if


    they’re able to sessfully use Gu to control the world?”


    Thea did hear Thomas mention something about it before.

    “I really don’t know where Quincy and Tiara are. Believe me, James! I’ll inquire with the Four Great


    Protectors and give you an answer tonight,” Thea raised her head and replied.


    “Alright.”


    James drew in a sharp breath.


    It was in to see that Thea knew where Quincy and Tiara was and was only trying to back up her


    previous lies.
