Chapter 830

Thea left her car and immediately headed toward the hospital.

However, when she arrived at the ward, James was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at Tiara who was lying in her bed, she asked, “Where’s James?”

Tiara tried to get up but the bandages that were covering her body made it almost impossible to sit up.

With a feeble voice, she responded to Thea, “J-James has returned to the Southern Plains.”

“The Southern Plains? What for?” Thea had not expected this development.

“James told me he was going to regain control over the Black Dragon Army. After he’s done that, he

plans to return to the Capital and kill the Emperor using the Blade of Justice”

“Kill the Emperor?” Thea’s jaw hung open in shock.

Thomas had told her that chaos would ensue once the Emperor died. He also told her that everything

would be over for James when he makes his move.

“Th-Thea, actually…” The bedridden Tiara tried to gather her strength so she could explain things to

Thea.

Alas, she had taken too much time and Thea had already left in a hurry.

As she walked out of the hospital, Thea hurriedly called the number on the card Thomas gave her while

making her way to the parking lot.

The call went through but no one picked up the phone.

She opened the door of her car and got in.

The moment she sat down, she nearly jumped in fright upon seeing an old man seated once again in

the passenger’s seat.

She patted her chest to calm herself down, “You scared me, Mr. Caden.”

Without missing a beat, Thomas smiled back at her. “Do you believe me now?”

Thea’s face clouded over. “James has returned to the Southern Plains to reunite with the Black Dragon

Army. After that, he’ll return to the Capital and kill the Emperor with the Blade of Justice. Just now, you

mentioned that James would be done for the moment he takes action. Is that true?”

“Of course.”

“H-How do I save him then?” Thea looked at Thomas pleadingly.

“I told you… You can provide your assistance to him by becoming the young mistress of the God-King

Palace.”

“…Fine, I accept your offer.”

Ultimately, Thea did not want James to be in danger. She still was not sure if this man was who he

claimed to be, but she had to jump at the opportunity to be of some use to James.

Quincy had told her that she knew nothing about James.

As much as she hated to admit it, Thea had to agree.

She murmured silently in her heart, “If the others can help him, so can I! I’ll show him I’m not a useless

woman” !

Thomas removed his thumb ring. Alongside the ring, he also tossed a black token to Thea.

Picking the small items up gingerly, Thea tilted her head and asked, “What’s this?”

“They are the God – King thumb ring and the God King token. You’ll need them to walk around the

God-King Palace freely.”

Thea turned the token around on her palm.

The word God – King was carved onto one side. Meanwhile, there was a mysterious-looking pattern on

the other.

She quickly put away the ring and token in her pockets. “What should I do next?”

“Someone will come find you.”

After leaving her with only that vague instruction, Thomas got out of Thea’s car.

“Remember not to say a single word about our deal to James.” He cautioned her through the window

one last time.

“Mr. Caden…”

Before Thea could ask him more questions, he had already left.

Silence filled the underground parking lot once again.

Thea looked at the God-King thumb ring and the God-King token, and voiced her thoughts, What kind

of organization is the God-King Palace? Is he really James’ grandfather? Shouldn’t he have died in the

fire ten years ago? How’s he still alive? Why did he tell me not to breathe a word of this to James?

Could he possibly be one of James’ many enemies?”

Thea was in a tough spot.

She was at a loss for what to do. Things just did not seem to make sense.
