James stood.As he stood up, the policemen backed away involuntarily.Before making the trip, they had seen him in action. He was a ruthless, dangerous man.James put out his arms.A few policemen approached him with handcuffs, cuffing his hands together.“Take him away.”James was taken away.Thea started crying.When she saw the police, she was shocked. Then she realized that James must have beaten someone up at the hotel.“Honey…”She looked at James, who was now in handcuffs. Her eyes welled with tears.James stopped and looked at her. He smiled. “Don’t worry. Go to Common Clinic tomorrow morning and look for May. There’s a sword hidden beneath the bed in a secret compartment. Get May to bring the sword to the police station.”James left after that.“Boo hoo…”Thea cried her heart out.At the police station.In the interrogation room.James was cuffed. There were two police in front of him.One of them was male, the other female.They looked relatively young, pro
When she saw the sharp sword, May’s heart beat faster.It was the Blade of Justice.The very same which represented Sol’s law. The sword had the power to put anyone on trial.Only one person had the power to wield this sword.It was James.Even though James had resigned, the sword was still his.“Wh-what is this?” Thea looked at the sword in May’s hand, unable to stop herself from asking.“N-nothing.” May shook her head, quickly replacing the sword in its case and wrapping it up with the black cloth.Saving James with the sword was out of the question.She knew enough to understand what the sword represented. It was the law. It had the power to try those who had escaped the law or those above it.The very existence of the sword was a legend.When Sol was still in its infantry, several generals petitioned to get rid of the sword, worried that it would be too powerful.However, the king decided to keep it.May knew that if she used the sword to save James, it would go agains
Daniel entered.He glanced at Yoseph lying on the bed and minced no words. “The Watsons had James arrested. Based on the video clip alone, could you be sure that James is guilty? You know who he is. This is but a small obstacle for him. My advice is for you to let it go.”“G-general Highsmith, James has caused so much trouble for my family. How could I let it go?” Yoseph said weakly, his face full of rage.Carelessly, Daniel said, “To get James arrested, would you sacrifice your life? James’ medical skills are the best. No one will be able to save you now that he’s poisoned you. You only have a few days left. Consider it carefully. If you choose to let it go, I’ll be able to help you and put in a good word to James. At the same time, I advise you to stop going after the Callahans.”Yoseph thought about it.James was incredible.Even modern medicine was unable to cure him.He wanted James dead, but he did not want to die.“As a favor to you, I’ll forget about it. As long as Jame
Gladys approached him with her hands on her hips, saying, “Be honest, or don’t ever think about setting foot in this house again.”James looked resigned. “Mom, it was nothing. The police made a mistake. If I had done something wrong, do you think they’d release me after just one night?”“Are you sure?” Gladys still had her reservations.She was terrified when she saw what happened yesterday.Confidently, James said, “I promise everything’s okay. Also, a lot is going on at Medical Street today. Do you want to come, mom?”“I’ll pass.”How could she be interested after this?So much had happened recently, and David was still in the hospital.“Come in and we’ll talk about it.” Thea pulled James into the house and shut the door behind him.James entered and sat on the couch. He looked at Benjamin. “Dad, do you want to go?”Benjamin was intrigued.Rumor had it this particular medical conference was even more happening than usual. There were many famous doctors in attendance, inclu
Thea had difficulty speaking.Looking at Thea’s expression, Gladys knew something must have happened last night. Immediately, she ordered, “Spit it out.”Thea came clean.She told them everything that happened at dinner last night.However, after the Watsons and Xenoses appeared, Xara led her away. She did not know what happened after that.Everyone turned to look at James again after that.Was he telling the truth? Did he actually beat the Watsons and Xenoses into submission?Looking at how confused everyone was, James decided to make things easier for them. They would never believe him anyway.“Alright, here’s what happened. A person named Zane Dawn helped.”“Zane Dawn?”Everyone was confused. Who was he?“What?”Lex seemed to come to a realization. “Zane Dawn? Zane from the north, the one everyone calls the Mining King?”“Yes, yes, yes,” James said. “That’s the one.”Lex glanced at James. “Zane is very important in the north. The Dawns are very influential. Even the Fi
Whoever they were, James was surprised at how blatant they were.This was not the border of the Southern Plains. This was a developed, peaceful city.Looking in the mirror, he studied the situation.The rocket launcher was aimed straight at his car.He was slightly worried.If they fired, he could probably avoid the shot, but there would still be several injuries and fatalities since there were so many cars on the road.However, his concern was for naught.They never fired.“What are they doing?”He was confused.He weaved in and out of traffic, turning onto the highway. Then, he started to head toward the suburbs.He was driving a Volkswagen that cost only above twenty thousand dollars. The car was already going at 200 kilometers per hour while the engine was going at seven thousand revolutions. “James, what are you doing? You’re driving too fast! Stop!”Thea was pale as she was thrown from left to right. She was jostled so much she was feeling nauseous.Looking in the
James had discarded his shirt. His body was full of silver needles. Some of them had blue droplets on them.“James, what’s going on?”James removed the needles on his chest and arms, smiling at Thea. “D-don’t worry. I’m fine.”Thea’s expression was stony. “Do you take me for a fool? Who were those people? What did they give you?”“I have no idea.”James looked serious.He did not know who they were.He did not know what they had given him either.He had spit most of it out and used the needles to draw the remains out, but a small amount had entered his bloodstream. He started to feel his body seizing up a little.“Really?” Thea did not believe him.“Darling, I really don’t know.”“T-then, how are you feeling? You don’t look so good. Should we go to the hospital?” Thea noticed James looking worse than usual. She was worried, so she went to him and helped him up.James waved his hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll lose my sense of smell and my movements might be restricted, that’s all.
James found it unlikely.Jonathan Harris was just a doctor. Goryeo was one of the twenty-eight countries, but it was a small country. It was impossible that he could mastermind the battle at Mount Thunder Pass.Or maybe it was not Jonathan at all.Maybe the true mastermind was someone else.James shook his head to clear his thoughts.He closed his eyes and got some rest.Thea drove carefully.Soon, they reached the city and arrived at Medical Street.The medical conference was just starting. As Medical Street was full of pedestrians, no cars were allowed.The parking lots nearby were full, so Thea could only park at a parking lot further away. They took a cab to Medical Street.The street was full of people.Thea grabbed onto James. He walked slowly, as if carved from wood.“Honey, are you sure you’re alright? Should we go to the hospital?”Thea looked at James. Even his face had started to go stiff and expressionless. She was extremely worried.James moved his lips. “No,
