Chapter 1143
Stella was not able to see James' face earlier on the plane.
However, she finally caught a glimpse of his face when James' turned to look at her.
The moment she recognized who it was, she froze like a deer in headlights.
J-James Caden? She served James Caden onboard the flight earlier?!
He was the most powerful man in Sol.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she began to hyperventilate as if breathing itself were a great ordeal for her.
She never expected to meet James on her flight.
James was extremely well-renowned.
He was Sol's War God, the Black Dragon, commander of the Black Dragon, the Best Doctor in Sol, the Dragon King
of the Southern Plains, and commander of the Red Flame Army. 1
"Hmm? What's wrong?" James looked quizically at the beautiful woman in front of him.
He did not recognize her.
Despite their earlier encounter on the plane, he never got a good look at her face. Thus he could not recall who she
was.

Stella's pretty face was as red as a tomato.
'My idol, the hero of my heart, the most admirable man on earth...’
Stella completely lost her judgment from sheer excitement. She rushed
toward James and attempted to wrap her arms around her hero.
James easily dodged her.
Stella did not even get to touch him before she lost her balance and fell toward the ground.
James raised his hand, and an invisible force projected from his palm. He managed to grab a hold of Stella who was
about to fall face first onto the ground.
Stella regained her senses and exclaimed in surprise.
"Wh-What's going on? I was falling. How am I suddenly standing again?"
She had no time to think and quickly turned to look at James.
James had already left along with his sword.
"Hey, James. Wait for me."
Stella picked up her suitcase and quickly chased after him.
However, as she was wearing high heels, she soon stumbled and sprained her ankle. An excruciating pain spread
from her ankle and made it difficult for her to continue walking. In the end, she could only stand rooted to the spot
as she tearfully watched James leave.
James did not linger in the urban area for long. He quickly stopped at the closest car rental company and rented an
off-road vehicle.
Mt. Thunder was a distance away from Terentville. It was about a day's drive to Mt. Thunder.
James was a martial artist and could travel much faster than a car by utilizing his True Energy.
Unfortunately, the city was quite densely populated and running around at blinding speeds would definitely raise an
eyebrow or two.
Therefore, he chose to drive toward Mt. Thunder and slowly left the bustling city.
As far as he could see, the surrounding landscapes were covered in a blanket of snow. There were relatively few
cars on the route James was traveling because of the thick snow on the road. The off-road vehicle he rented had
snow chains to help with traction, but getting through the snowy road was a task in and of itself.
After some time, James turned off the engine and got out of the car.
He took out his phone and glanced at the screen.
It was already seven in the evening, but his snow covered surroundings did not give the impression of nighttime
whatsoever.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames returned to the car and took out some bread. Then, he sat on the car hood and ate the bread while looking
at the white mountain ranges ahead of him.
He had specifically inquired about Mount Thunder Sect before leaving and knew that their location was nearby.
After eating, he left the car on the side of the road and started walking.
Since it was a desolate area without prying eyes, James circulated his energy and proceeded to traverse through
the snow speedily. He appeared more than ten meters away from his initial position in almost an instant.
After walking for some time, the towering mountains stood right before him.
This was Mt. Thunder, with an altitude of more than 7,000 meters above sea level. It was considered one of the
highest mountains in Sol.
James stood at the foot of the mountain and turned his gaze upwards.
There were no buildings or people in sight, and the howling wind was the only thing that seemed to keep him
company.
It was hard for James to imagine that there was an ancient martial art sect hidden in this snow-capped mountain.
After getting a handle on his surroundings, James mobilized his True Energy and leaped ten meters upward, and
quickly ascended the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, he was already halfway up the mountain.
"Who dares to trespass Mt. Thunder?"
