Chapter 1342


    Delh’s whereabouts were still unknown.


    James needed to personally head to Eyrothia.


    Her stepfather was the boss of Blue Tech Corporation and yed an important role in the Tuckson


    family incident.


    The few people present knew about the incident and understood why James had to go to Eyrothia.


    Thea looked at him with concern in her eyes and asked, “How long are you going to stay there?”


    James shook his head and gave a vague response, “I don’t know. If things go well, I’ll be back in a few


    days. Otherwise, it’ll probably take quite a long time to sort out. ording to my estimations, I should


    be back within a month.”


    He looked at the few people in the room and said, “I’ll need you guys to help me manage the state of


    affairs in the Capital. We can’t afford for it to go haywire. Maxine, you’re the head of the Cadens and


    have a sizeable influence in the ancient martial world. During my absence, I need you to protect Thea


    and Quincy. Ensure nothing happens to them.”

    Maxine pouted.


    Protect Thea?


    Does Thea even still need protection?


    It would all work out fine as long as Thea stayed put and did not cause trouble for the rest.


    Maxine still agreed despite her internal reservations, “Alright. I’ll look out for them.”


    “Also…”


    James continued, raising his finger as if he had remembered something. “Can is still in closed-door


    meditation in the Capital. If you encounter something you can’t solve alone, go to him for help. I’ll


    inform him before I leave and ask him to keep an eye out during this period.”


    “Alright.”


    Everyone present agreed to the n.


    After giving out instructions, James let out a huge sigh of relief.


    “Anyway, I can’t waste any more time. I’ll go see Can first.”


    “Go ahead.”


    “Be careful.”


    “Don’t worry too much about the Capital. There’s still quite some time before the election. Even if you


    can’t return in time, it’s something that can be postponed since authorities like you are the ones who


    select the candidates.”


    The women took their turns saying their piece.


    James simply did not reply and made preparations to leave.


    He turned around and left in a hurry to see Can.


    James met up with Can and the two had a long chat with each other.


    Can made a vow to James. “Go with peace of mind, James. I’m in the Capital and will ensure nothing


    happens to the girls.”


    James was rather confident about Can’s strength and was relieved that he’d left him in charge of


    protecting the girls.


    Before anyone else refined the Spirit Turtle core, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Can


    was number one among all martial art practitioners across the globe.


    After all, he had already reached the third stair of the Skyward Stairway.


    The Skyward Stairway only appears when one reaches the pinnacle of the eighth rank.


    Only after climbing the Skyward Stairway will one enter the ninth rank.


    “By the way… What do you think of the current King of Sol?” James suddenly turned back and looked


    at the elderly man.


    Can was stumped by the question. He could not ascertain James’ intention and replied with his own


    query, “In what aspect?”


    James said, “All aspects.”


    “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen,” Can reassured James once again.


    “I’ll take my leave first, then.”


    After leaving Can’s residence, James went directly to the military region.


    He nned to bring Henry with him on this trip to Eyrothia.


    “What?”
