Gladwin was not expecting James to be so straightforward. He laughed and said, “You’re quite forthright, aren’t you? I’ll cut to the chase. If you two return to the Timaeus Sect and work with me, I can offer you three benefits. You can choose either one.”
James smiled but said nothing. Meanwhile, Lyla seemed utterly uninterested.
Gladwin suppressed his smile and said seriously, “The first offer is the position as the Great Protector and law enforcement elder. You can control the sect’s internal affairs and dominate the Genesis Words with your strengths.
“The second offer is that I can provide you with enough resources and give all my support if you decide to create your own force.
“Lastly, you can rejoin Mount Martialis and become its master. I will also give my full support.”
James looked at Gladwin, not masking his disappointment in the offers.
He seemed to be giving great benefits, but he was making sure they were still under him and could be used at his disposal.
Gladwin could sense James’ disappointment, so he quickly smiled and said, “Of course, we can still negotiate this. There’s no need to rush…”
James nodded and said, “Sure, but talking while separated by a barrier doesn’t seem sincere. How about you come inside, and we chat over drinks?”
Gladwin was silent.
James put on a harmless expression and said, “You’re already at the Quasi Daeclon Rank. Are you terrified two weaklings like us can hurt you?”
Gladwin coughed in embarrassment and said, “I’ve never had any grievances with the two of you, nor do I hold any grudges. I simply admire your talents, that’s why—”
“That’s why I’m inviting you inside,” James interrupted him, saying, “The Forladtt Land contains countless treasures. Not just anyone can come inside as they please.”
“I…” Gladwin was put on the spot.
James was surprised by the information. Thea had not yet mastered the Dark Heavenly Path, but she was already so powerful.
He thought, ‘Can’t you slow down a little, Darling? You’re making me feel incompetent.’
James said excitedly, “Let’s go watch?”
Lyla immediately stopped him, saying, “Don’t. She’s a demon without morals now. She has been specifically absorbing powerhouses at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation. She has already devoured about ten recently.
“Moreover, Gladwin is in the Daemon Prison. Once we leave, he might never be able to return.”
Thea was incredibly powerful. James felt shivers down his spine after recalling the two elderly cultivators he encountered in the Forladtt Land.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
