Chapter 1404

James was familiar with the man’s voice.

It was Callan Maverick.

Back then, he said he would not come to Durandal and Mount Olympus. In the end, he came

regardless.

Crouching on the rock beside James, Callan smoked a cigarette. As he watched Lucjan and the martial

artists from the Gu Sect, his expression turned grim.

“I haven’t regained all of my strength yet, but once I heard that Lucjan and some of the Gu Sect were

here, I came here since I was worried that they could be up to no good. For the past one hundred

years, Lucjan had kept a low profile while biding his time. He’s a cunning and terrifying man.”

Callan told James of his objectives.

Looking at Lucjan in the distance, James said in a low voice, “Why do you think Lucjan brought the Gu

Sect here in Durandal?”

“How would I know? By the way, I’m retreating for now. Many are still hiding in the shadows. I have to

be careful not to accidentally reveal my identity.”

Callan did not linger for long. He simply stood up and turned to leave.

Soon, he was gone.

‘Hiding in the shadows?’ James stroked his chin as he thought about it.

Who was Callan referring to? Could they be ancient martial artists from Sol?

After brief contemplation, he put his thoughts aside the moment he noticed Polaris was awake. He

walked over to him. Before he could approach where the Polaris Sect was located, the martial artists all

glared at him, alert. Some even brandished their weapons.

James looked at them. A single glance was enough to send shivers down their spines. Unconsciously,

they staggered backward.

James casually walked over to Polaris. Upon seeing Polaris who was resting on a rock, a slight grin

crept up on his face, “Are you alright, Archbishop Polaris?”

“Y-You…” Polaris’ face paled, and he opened his mouth wide.

James said smilingly, “I’m a doctor, by the way. Would you like me to have a look at your injuries?”

“Trying to humiliate me, James?” Polaris roared.

However, his yelling aggravated his injuries, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. In his eyes, James

was here to humiliate him.

“What are you talking about, Archbishop Polaris? Why would I be here to humiliate you? I’m just here

to ask

you a question and heal your injuries while I’m at it. Besides, I didn’t even go all out. You were the one

who tried to ambush me, and I had no choice but to retaliate. Even so, I suppressed my True Energy,

or else you’d be dead.”

”

”

Polaris opened his mouth, but no words came out of it.

James grabbed his arm.

“Wh-What are you trying to do?” Polaris’ face paled as he struggled. However, he could not exert even

a

single ounce of strength. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that James was not up to

no good.

James took his pulse and said, “You’ll be alright. You just suffered some internal injuries from the

Sword Energy. You’ll recover soon, I promise.”

As he said that, a thin wire fell from his sleeves and immediately became a handful of needles. Holding

Crucifier in his hand, he began using it to heal Polaris’ injuries.

The moment James began inserting the needles, Polaris could feel his body ease up.

“What…”

He was stunned but before he could recollect himself, James inserted a few more needles. Instantly, he

could feel his injuries recuperating.

Stunned, he could not even utter a single word.

James extracted the needles and looked at the stunned Polaris, saying, “You should be fine now.

However, you have to be careful not to overexert yourself. Rest well and you’ll recover in no time.”

“T-This is unbelievable.”

Polaris could not believe his eyes.
