Chapter 2006
At the same time, in Cansington...
Cynthia walked out of her room wearing pajamas. Unable to fall asleep, she headed to the living room downstairs
and scrolled through the Martial Arts Forum. She wanted to know if anything significant had happened over the past
few days.
The moment she logged into the forum, she saw two messages that James had posted. Upon reading through the
messages, she could not help but exclaim, "J-James is still alive?"
She could not believe her eyes. Holding the phone in her hand, she hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on a door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Maxine! Maxine!"
However, no matter how hard she knocked, no one answered the door. So, she pushed the door open and entered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe room.
When she entered, she saw Maxine sitting in a lotus position on the bed. Wearing white pajamas, her long black hair
was on end, and her eyes were bloodshot. Green veins were popping out all over her face.
Cynthia's blood ran cold and she unconsciously turned to leave.
Fwoosh!
In an instant, Maxine appeared before her and choked her.
Fortunately, Maxine immediately regained consciousness. Her eyes and complexion returned to normal, and she
hurriedly released Cynthia, asking, "What happened, Cynthia?"
Upon seeing Maxine return to normal, a chill ran down Cynthia’s spine as she said, "You were scary just now,
Maxine."
"l-ls that so?"
Maxine was puzzled. She only remembered that she was in the middle of cultivating and had no recollection of what
happened a moment ago.
Ever since the incident at the Floret Palace three years ago, Maxine had returned to Cansington to live alongside
Cynthia and Tiara.
"Y-Yes... Maxine, did you just experience Energy Deviation?"
Cynthia looked at her fearfully.
Maxine shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know either. I only know that I will lose control of myself
sometimes as my strength increases.
Desires will surface in my mind. Not only that, but a mysterious power will appear whenever I catalyze True Energy.
Sometimes, I have a feeling that I'm being controlled by it."
"Huh? What's going on?” Cynthia asked.
Maxine shook her head slightly and said, "Nevermind... In any case, I'll be careful from now on. By the way, is
something the matter?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCynthia pulled her phone out and handed it over to Maxine.
"There's a user on the Martial Arts Forum who claims to be James!"
Maxine was stunned when she heard this. With shivering hands, she took the phone and read through James'
message.
"Is that really him?"
Maxine could not believe her eyes.
Three years ago, the entire Floret Palace was flattened, and the mountain on which Floret Palace was constructed
was reduced to rubble. Many searched for James but to no avail.
To Maxine, James was already dead. He only existed in her memories.
Now that this happened, she was both overjoyed and stunned.
"Maxine, do you think he's James?" Cynthia asked.
Maxine returned the phone to Cynthia and said, "In any case, I'm heading over to Mount Bane.”
Then, she changed out of her sleepwear and headed to Mount Bane immediately.
