Lyla put James in one of the smaller halls located near the main hall of Timaeus Sectʼs headquarters.
She set up a formation surrounding the entire hall. Outside the hall, seven Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Fifth Tribulation cultivators were stationed there to guard the entrance.
After settling everything, Lyla left James alone in the hall.
James sensed considerable hostility from Lyla. However, he could not recall any instances where he had done something to upset her.
“Lesia, do you think we can break out of this place if something urgent comes up?” James transmitted his voice to Lesia.
Lesia responded, “I’m busy absorbing the pills. Donʼt talk to me.”
James paused momentarily. Then, he quickly channeled his Zen into the Golden Body.
To James’ horror, he found Lesia munching on pills as if she were eating snacks. After swallowing the pills in her mouth, Lesia continued to stuff her mouth with more pills.
“Damn! Wonʼt the overflow of energy make your body burst at some point?” James exclaimed.
Lesia snorted. “I need to grow my body. If I donʼt eat a lot, how am I going to grow bigger and fight better?”
“That… That’s not it.” James smiled wryly. “With how quickly you are eating these pills, how long can the pills that we’ve raided recently last for your growth?”
“These pills are of subpar quality, and they taste bad.” Lesia shared her honest opinion. “They can help me reach the Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Seventh Tribulation at most.
“The older batch of pills that you’ve stored in your spatial treasure was better. Otherwise, I might have needed a longer time to awaken.”
James said in a raised voice, “You… You ate the pills that I’ve stored in my spatial treasure?!”
James hurriedly checked his spatial treasure.
Inside the space, he could only find pills that they had raided from Yaquis Sect’s three secret realms. All of his top-grade pills were gone.
The elderly man chuckled softly. “You went ahead and admitted to those things so easily while the girls had tried so hard to cover up for you.”
“Why do I have to cover up what I did?” James said nonchalantly, “I won, and I even got away unscathed. I know the girls are worried that I’ll get punished, but I don’t mind it at all. I had fun kicking those guysʼ asses.”
Upon hearing his words, the elderly cultivator burst into laughter. “You have the valiant spirit of a fighter, young man!”
Then, the elderly man sat in the nearby seat. “Tell me, then. What are the Yaquis Sect secretly planning to do?”
James frowned slightly. “Mister, do you hold a high enough position in Timaeus Sect to meet Mr. Thornton? Will he listen to you?”
The elderly gentleman grinned. “I’m just one of the elders, but Mr. Thornton does listen to my advice.”
“Great!” James sat in the empty chair next to the elderly cultivator. Then, he shared about how the Yaquis Sect had started a new alliance to fight against the Timaeus Sect.
After listening to James, the elderly cultivator asked smilingly, “Did you eavesdrop on their conversation?”
