James remained silent after listening to what Morgott said.
Behind him, Herodias and Yegor exchanged a glance. Both of them were frowning slightly.
If James were to agree to cooperate with Morgott, the two of them would make an indestructible team.
Even though they were both Ninth Xaeclon Rank cultivators who possessed the Tirta Power, Yegor and Herodias were still no match for the pair.
Still, the couple believed that James would not do that. That was because James was very different from Morgott, especially in terms of his personality.
The Yin governor, his wife, would always be James" first priority. She meant the world to him. Moreover, they just had another kid. The child's presence would also give James courage and a sense of purpose.
A short while later, James glanced over his shoulder at Yegor and Herodias, who were staring at him.

Then, he turned his eyes to Thea, who was still lying on her back while levitating mid-air.
There was a flash of determination in his eyes. It seemed like James had cto a decision.
"What's there to consider about, James?" Morgott prodded him.
"You can achieve great things instantly if you just agree to my terms.
What's holding you back?" James drew a long breath. Then, he beamed a smile at the baby.
"You possessed my child's body, but you said you want to be my friend. Isn't that too much of a loss on my side?" Morgott paused briefly. "What do you mean?" James replied, "Shouldn't you calldaddy?" Morgott paused again for a few seconds before shouting angrily, "I see you as a friend, James! Yet, you want to be my father?! You...” "That's right." James interrupted, "If you truly seeas a friend, get out of my child's body right now.
Otherwise, you'll forever lose the chance to work withagain.” Morgott fell silent.
"| know you are doing this because you want to useto undo the seal on your main body." James continued, "You don't have to resort to doing something like this to achieve your purpose.
"Also, you seem to have forgotten something. This isn't the first tyou've possessed one of my children’s body. Did | give in back then?" Morgott was reminded of Hetsema upon hearing those words. However, he knew very well that Hetsema could not compare to James' newborn, who was a HongrChild.
Still, Morgott was aware that James was not someone who could be forced to do something against his will through threats or blackmail.
James would never consider working with someone who did that to him.
Morgott grumbled a few seconds later, "You... You're as stubborn as a mule!” James smiled faintly. "Morgott, you and | have different beliefs and discipline in life.
"However, we both hate rules and restrictions. That is the reason why we can somewhat understand each other.
"You and | have different goals in life. You won't like it if | force you to live according to my rules. Did you think I'd like it if the situation was reversed?” Morgott let out a deep sigh. "In the end, you and | can't see eye to eye and work together?" "There's no good in forcing people with different ideals to work together." James explained, "What | want is to have a happy and peaceful life with my family.

"On the other hand, you aim to get your revenge and rule over all the worlds.
"I can’t deny that we may face the senemies and probably even work together to solve certain issues in the early stages. However, we will have to part ways eventually.
"It might sound like a joke, but | was the one who married into my wife's family. However, | don't think that's a shameful thing.
"On the contrary, my wife and | share a close relationship. We are complete when we have each other.
"If I die, my wife and my friends will try everything they can to avenge my death. | would do the sfor them too.
"It's probably something you won't ever experience. Similarly, | have no desire to experience the thrill of killing and trampling over others that you crave." After listening to those words, Morgott sighed in resignation. It seemed like he somehow had a better understanding of James now. "Frona, you were right. | simply don't know what to do with this guy now."
