Thea was startled and asked, “T-then, what should we do?”The lawyer shook her head slightly and said, “T-There isn’t anything we can do now. I’m not sure about winning this lawsuit. There is only one thing we can do right now, and that is to get them to drop the case against James so he can avoid imprisonment.”Quincy frowned, took a deep breath, and said, “I see. You may head back first.”“Alright, Ms. Xenos.”The lawyer turned around and left.“What should we do now, Quincy? I believe James. What he said must be the truth. He must’ve been framed.”Quincy said helplessly, “I also believe James. However, all the evidence isn’t looking good for him.”“Then, what should we do next?”“We should head back for now. I’m sure it’ll be fine.” Quincy took Thea and left.James was not an ordinary person.He was the boss of Transgenerational Group.Since there was no evidence to get him out, they could only try to reach a settlement.James could only get Scarlett to reach out to Zigm
The Blithe King did not know James’ plans, but he still decided to help."Okay, I'll get you out."James waved his hands. “I told you to find me a stand-in for me. I can’t leave so openly. Find someone who’s about the same height and has a similar physique as me. After I sneak out, I’ll make a human mask, and you have to secretly bring him back into the custody room.The Blithe King asked with a frown, “What are you trying to do?”“You don’t need to know.”“Alright.”The Blithe King nodded.He quickly made arrangements. He found someone of a similar height from the army and sneaked James out.James started to make the human mask for the substitute to take his place and sneak into the police custody room.James made another human mask for himself. He could not appear at the medical conference in his real appearance. Since he could not show up with his real face, he would change it. He made a human mask that resembled him ten years ago—the chairman of the Majestic Corporat
Scarlett waved her hands and said immediately, “Mr. Zigmund, I heard about what happened to Tiara. Could there be a misunderstanding?”Zigmund’s face darkened, and he replied instantly, “Ms. Brooks, are you here to speak for James?”Scarlett did not deny it and nodded lightly. “Mr. Zigmund, there’s something you probably aren’t aware of. James is the real boss of Transgenerational Group. He has a net worth of several trillion. There are countless beautiful women around him. As long as he wanted, endless women would be willing to jump into his bed. Moreover, he already has a beautiful wife. I simply can’t believe my boss would commit sexual assault.”“The real boss of Transgenerational Group?”Zigmund was shocked by James’ identity. He did not expect the man who defiled his daughter to have such an influential background.“Yes.“There must be some sort of misunderstanding. According to my boss’ personality, he would never do such a thing.” Scarlett nodded confidently.Zigmund w
In the past two days, the Callahans became a hot topic online again. The first hot topic was Thea from the Callahans. She had no medical skills but became a doctor under Century Hospital and used millions to place number one during the medical conference.Thea gained a bad reputation because of this.She was called shameless and a fool with money.Before this news subsided, a new hot topic came up.It was the news of Thea’s husband, James.Every online forum discussed the incident.[Die, rapist!][Such a despicable person should be made a eunuch!][Shooting such a person one hundred times wouldn’t even be enough.][This was bound to happen. James married the Callahans and has no status in the family. I heard he doesn’t even sleep with Thea. He simply guards his wife like a precious treasure but doesn’t touch her. Because of this, he could not resist it anymore and ended up committing the crime.]…On the internet, many people berated James.At the Callahans’ house. Thea
Thea shook her head and said, “We’ll talk about it after James’ case is over.” “Sure, of course.” Gladys stood up and pulled Benjamin away, smiling. “Thea, take a rest. Your father and I will be at the hospital visiting your brother.” “Mhm.” Thea nodded. After Gladys and Benjamin left, Thea looked at Quincy and sighed in dejection. “Quincy, do you think I’m too heartless? After all, since he married into the Callahans, he has been working tirelessly without a single complaint. Besides, he treats me really well. Now that something’s happened to him, I’m thinking of divorcing him.” “I…” Quincy did not know what to say. From her perspective, she really hoped for Thea and James to divorce. However, as Thea’s best friend, she did not wish for them to separate. “I thought James was an honest and upright man. I don’t mind him spending money on hookers, but how could he commit such a crime? I can’t forgive him,” Thea said. “Mhm.” As Quincy did not know what to say, she we
Thea had been thinking of divorce ever since James got arrested. She planned to divorce him after he was found guilty. She was not even twenty-eight years of age and was in the prime of her life. She did not wish to wait for James for the rest of her life. She would be old by the time James got released from prison and did not wish to live with regrets. She knew she had let James down. It was because of her that James did not manage to suppress his desire and went down the wrong path. However, since it had already happened, there was no use blaming herself. Meanwhile, James had switched places with a substitute. He left the detention cell and headed to Majestic Corporation. At the chairman’s office at Majestic Corporation… James had put on a human mask. At that moment, his appearance had undergone a drastic change. Wearing a white suit, he was handsome and charismatic. “James, the business operations of the corporation have come under the assault of Oceanic Commer
Though it was only eight in the morning, the venue was already packed with people. The place was rowdy. James arrived early. This time, he kept a low profile. He had instructed Newton to buy a seat that was not too far back nor too near the front. He took a seat and waited patiently. He was curious to see what Lucas Hamilton from Universal Hospital and Jonathan Harris from Goryeo were up to. At that moment, the emcee of the medical conference got on the stage. She was a popular actress called Delilah Kimberly. Wearing a red gown, her curvaceous figure was for all to see. With a mic in hand, she got on the stage. Her melodious laugh echoed throughout the venue. “How exhilarating! The medical conference hasn’t even started yet, and I’m excited about it already. I have long dreamt of witnessing our fellow genius doctors of Sol gather and compete for the highest honor in the medical world of Sol.” “That’s right.” A man in a suit walked out from backstage. He was Kevin M
Thea got off the stage. Delilah continued, “Second place goes to Christine Fallon from Herbal Biotech. She’s the granddaughter of the legendary Dr. Fallon. For the past twenty years, Dr. Fallon has been able to emerge victorious at the Solean medical conference every year. His granddaughter has now surpassed him.” Kevin said, “Please, Ms. Fallon.” Christine got onto the stage. Wearing a white dress, she was as graceful as a swan. She took the mic. Delilah asked with a smile, “Ms. Fallon, even though this is your first time participating in the medical conference, you still managed to get second place. How are you feeling right now?” Christine said humbly, “It has long been my dream to acquaint myself with my fellow seniors in the medical realm. Win or lose, I believe I have much to gain from this.” “Thank you, Ms. Fallon.” Kevin continued, “Third place goes to Jonathan Harris from Universal Hospital.” “Fourth place goes to Lucas Hamilton from Universal Hospital.” “F
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
