Chapter 970


    Hearing that Quincy would return soon, James let out a sigh of relief. Then, he replied with a smile.


    “Thank you, Thea.”


    “Honey, you have to promise me that you won’t look at any other women besides me,” Thea said


    bitterly.


    She felt threatened by Quincy.


    Quincy was not only pretty but also had a good eye for business. Most importantly, she was skilled at


    utilizing her charm. Thea was scared that she’d tempt James and lose him to Quincy if she was not


    careful.


    James cooed reassuringly, “Nonsense. I only need Quincy back to manage Messiah. It’s impossible


    between the two of us. If I was set on being with her, I would’ve agreed to do so a long time ago. There


    truly isn’t anything between the both of us.”


    Although Thea found it hard to believe that James and Quincy werepletely innocent, she still felt


    relieved that James bothered to exin because it meant he was worried about her feelings.


    She believed that as long as she worked at it, James woulde to love her eventually.


    “Mhm.” Thea nodded.


    Then, she dered with conviction, “I’ll work hard to be your most reliable support and I promise


    never to drag you down again!”


    Thea encouraged herself, ‘I must work hard. I need to show him!”


    Since she could not help James manage hispany, she wanted to at least be a strong ally he could


    rely on in battles. She was a third-rank grandmaster and had the potential to be a formidable ally


    if she worked on controlling her True Energy.


    “That’s it! I’m going for military training!”


    Thea’s resolve shone brightly.


    After exchanging a couple more words, James hung up the phone.


    He returned to Messiah Corporation and waited patiently.


    James was waiting for the results of Jay’s investigation and ke’s arrival.


    ke did not stay in Sol but rushed back very quickly and appeared in Messiah Corporation before


    dusk had fallen.


    “Hey, James! How’s it doing, my man?”


    ke walked into the room andughed mirthfully. He threw his arms wide for a hug.

    James waved his hand and pointed to the sofa, saying, “have a seat.”


    ke plopped down casually on the sofa.


    James took out a cigarette and threw another one at ke.


    ke caught it and cocked his eyebrows, “James, what’s so urgent that you had to call me back in


    such a hurry?”


    “What do you mean? You mean I can’t just call you over here because I’m lonely and wanted someone


    to chat with?” James lit his cigarette and asked jokingly.


    “Oh please. You’re not that hard to figure out, bro. Anyway, just tell me what you need from me. I heard


    about the things happening in Cansington. Centennial Corporation must’ve changed owners. They’ve


    suddenly expanded extremely rapidly. Something they did must have forced your hand.” ke got


    straight to business.


    James’ eyes twinkled in amusement. “As expected from the Assasin King, you’ve got a wide.”


    Deciding to also stop beating around the bush, James looked at him. “Do you want a cultivation


    method?”


    “Of course.”


    ke’s eyes lit up, and he grinned excitedly. “Are you finally going to give it to me?”


    James chuckled without answering him and posed him another question. “I heard from ck Snake


    that your days as the Assassin King have earned you a huge fortune and you also have countless


    treasures buried within Sol. Is that true?”


    “Yeap.”


    There was nothing for ke to hide and so he answered James’ question directly.


    James went straight to the point. “I’ll give you the cultivation method in exchange for all your assets.”


    ke was surprised by the sudden offer. His eyes widened and he nearly dropped the cigarette in his


    mouth.


    Shortly after, he pped his hands together and grinned widely. “Sure! No problem! That’s no problem


    at all!”


    In the end, money was just a figure somewhere to ke.


    Since he controlled the Dark Castle, money was not in short supply.


    However, his External Martial Arts had peaked, and he could grow any stronger as he was.


    Techniques involving Internal Martial Arts were only passed down to direct descendants. Thus, it was


    impossible for him to buy it, no matter how much money he had. Asking him to trade his wealth for a


    cultivation method was a great bargain.


    James tented his fingers and looked ke in the eyes. “How much do you have?”


    ke shook his head and said, “That, I’m not sure about. I probably have hundreds of billions in my


    overseas ount. As for the assets I’ve hidden in Sol, they’re in the form of gold and silver


    essories. If converted into money, they should be worth trillions. I don’t know. I’ve hardly kept count.


    Hahah!”


    “Woah!”


    James inadvertently let out a gasp of surprise when he heard how much ke had.


    ke was filthy rich.


    James never thought that assassins made such a killing. Hot damn.
