James couldn’t hold on any longer?

Lin Lei’s heart trembled.

Has this day finally arrived?

Lin Lei’s expression was rather dazed. Three years had passed since the White Tiger Tower had given James another three years of life. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed!

Lin Lei’s heart was filled with complicated emotions and countless images flashed through his mind.

Although he didn’t want to see this scene, Lin Lei had no choice but to face it since now it had truly happened.

Lin Lei hurriedly followed this disciple of the Li Fire Sect to White Tiger Tower.

A hundred meters behind the White Tiger Palace was James’ residence.

As soon as Lin Lei arrived, he saw the other tower lords and the Li Fire Sect leader, Roderick, walked out from the room.

Everyone’s faces were filled with grief.

“You are Lin Lei, right?”

“I still remember you. Hurry up and go see James. He really wants to see you,” Roderick shook his head in pain, then said to Lin Lei.

“OK...”

Lin Lei took a deep breath, then slowly walked into the living room.

The interior of the room wasn’t decorated with any extravagant decorations. Aside from a simple bed, a table, and a chair, there were only a few oil lamps left.

James was now lying on the bed. There was not much blood on his sallow face.

His face, which was originally as sharp as a knife, was now shriveled and dented.

James’ gray hair was now completely white. Every time he wanted to breathe, he had to use all his strength.

The Styx Enchanter, who was once famous in the Beilageluoya Empire, was now dying in such a miserable manner.

Alice was now seated by the bed. One of her hand was gently stroking James’ chest. Because of her grief, she couldn’t help but shook her shoulders.

Seeing Lin Lei come in, Alice finally couldn’t hold it in any longer. She threw herself into Lin Lei’s arms, crying loudly.

“Lin Lei...”

“My Father...”

“Father can’t hold on any longer...”

Lin Lei’s face was solemn as well, and he slowly stroked Alice’s back.

Right now, no matter what he said, it was all unnecessary to Alice.

“It’s fine, Alice. Everyone will die eventually. I was just a little bit earlier than the others.”

James sat up while his entire body trembling. His chest was heaving up and down. This simple movement had used up almost all of his strength.

“Alice, let me have a few words with Lin Lei. You can go out for awhile.”

Alice bit her lips, suppressing the bitterness in her heart as she nodded. Reluctantly, she left the living room.

Right now, only Lin Lei and James were left in the room.

Looking at James’ current state, Lin Lei couldn’t help but sighed in his heart. James had suffered severe injuries, which had caused the mageforce circuits in his body to break apart. In addition, he hadn’t had a proper rest in decades. This was what had caused his body to collapse.

Even though Lin Lei was only a step away from becoming a sage and possessed a unique system, there was nothing he could do against James, who was already beyond cure.

He could only watch helplessly as James’ life continued to flow away in front of him.

“Lord...”

Lin Lei wanted to say something, but he swallowed them when the words reached his lips.

James let out a bitter laugh, then waved his hand at Lin Lei.

“It’s fine. No need to console me. Ever since I was fatally injured, I’ve been able to predict that this day would come. Lin Lei, I’m just going to die of old age, illness, and death. It’s no big deal.”

James’ current gaze didn’t contain any hint of fear towards death.

Seeing this, Lin Lei no longer tried to console him. He nodded solemnly.

“Lord, do you have any wishes, or perhaps something you want me to do? I will definitely do my best to accomplish it.”

“In my entire life, I’ve experienced all sorts of storms and waves. I don’t have any last wishes.”

After speaking, James let out a long sigh.

“Lin Lei, I’ve watched you grow up. Rather than saying that you and I are master and disciple, we are more like father and son. Although I don’t know what you are thinking in your heart, I’ve always felt this way.”

“Now that I’m about to leave this world, I don’t have anything good to pass on to you. What a joke.”

“Lin Lei, Alice has a straightforward personality. It’s very easy to get into trouble. After I leave, you will be the only person she can rely on in this world.”

“I hope that after I leave, you will be able to help me take care of Alice.”

Hearing what James had said, Lin Lei hurriedly nodded, “Lord, don’t worry. In my eyes, Alice is no different from my own little sister. If anything happens to her, I, Lin Lei, will definitely take care of her.”

“Right... Since that’s the case, I have one last question. I want to ask you.”

“What do you think?”

James’ face grew paler and paler, and every single word he said seemed to be using up all of his strength.

Lin Lei could roughly guess what James wanted to ask. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

“Lord, you can ask.”

“Alright.”

James said slowly, “Lin Lei, I want to know... That person who killed three trolls, saved Alice and I and saved the entire Li Fire Sect three years ago...”

“Was it you?”

After speaking, James looked at Lin Lei with a complicated look on his face.

For the past three years, he had been making this guess in his heart.

He didn’t dare to ask. He was afraid of delaying Lin Lei’s astonishing fortune.

Lin Lei didn’t say anything for a long time.

After a long period of silence, Lin Lei nodded under James’ complicated gaze.

“It’s me.”

For the past three years, the huge rock in James’ heart had finally been lifted!

The breath which had forcibly held James back had dissipated after he had fulfilled his wish.

“Hahahahahahahaha!”

“My disciple, a true dragon is born!”

James laughed loudly, as though he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

He had dedicated his entire life to the Li Fire Sect. Aside from that battle ten years ago, the Empire didn’t remember him at all.

But now, it was enough!

He, James, had produced a good disciple!

Given how powerful Lin Lei was, would he still be worried that Alice would be bullied after he left?

Unfortunately, James wouldn’t be able to see the day when Lin Lei would become the hegemon of a region and truly rule the world.

“Forget it. It’s enough.”

James laughed in satisfaction, then left in a carefree manner.
