“I don’t think so.” Yianni frowned. “Don’t y’all think our journey has been too smooth, almost as if it was arranged?”
Upon hearing this, the Divine Marius and Quintus immediately froze and looked at James.
Scanning their surroundings, James smiled and said, “In my opinion, he is right here with us, watching from some dark corner.”
At this, the Divine Marius, Quintus, and Yianni became vigilant.
Suddenly, an eerie laugh echoed from the void outside the palace. It was chilling and terrifying.
“James Caden, you are indeed perceptive. It seems our battle is inevitable.”
James remained calm, but the others appeared tense, as if they were confronting a formidable enemy.
In the next moment, a strange afterimage flashed past behind them, accompanied by another sinister laugh.
As Yianni, the Divine Marius, and Quintus prepared to attack, James immediately kept them in his space. The deaths of Taiyi and Emperor Tapia still haunted James, and he could not afford to lose any more of his remaining brothers. This was a high-stakes situation, and their skills still needed honing. They could not be sacrificed needlessly.
Just then, the mysterious shadow passed in front of James again, trailing an enticing fragrance. James frowned, a trace of suspicion crossing his face.
“Hahahaha!” Another laugh echoed.
Witnessing James’ actions, the man hiding behind the expanding light cluster grew increasingly agitated. He wondered if James had sensed something and why he had suddenly stopped moving.
“Pity for the charming posture no longer exists. Silver arrows and golden shuttles gather in one basin. Regrettably, my pool’s capacity is small. Eagles and hounds have nowhere to seek the gate.”
After reciting this poem, James lifted his head and gulped down the absinthe, as if nothing here concerned him anymore.
At this moment, the frustrated man behind the light cluster could not help muttering, “You’re the real eagle here. Your whole family is. Do you think you can seize Haleth Realm just by composing poems and insulting people? You wish!”
“Hey, damned fish!” Suddenly, James’ voice thundered like a storm. “Are you going to keep playing hide-and-seek with me, or are you coming out? I’ll give you the Best Supporting Useless Actor award!”
