Chapter 1404
James was familiar with the man’s voice.
It was Callan Maverick.
Back then, he said he would not come to Durandal and Mount Olympus. In the end, he came regardless.
Crouching on the rock beside James, Callan smoked a cigarette. As he watched Lucjan and the martial artists from
the Gu Sect, his expression turned grim.
“I haven’t regained all of my strength yet, but once I heard that Lucjan and some of the Gu Sect were here, I came
here since I was worried that they could be up to no good. For the past one hundred years, Lucjan had kept a low
profile while biding his time. He’s a cunning and terrifying man.”
Callan told James of his objectives.
Looking at Lucjan in the distance, James said in a low voice, “Why do you think Lucjan brought the Gu Sect here in
Durandal?”

not to accidentally reveal my identity.”
Callan did not linger for long. He simply stood up and turned to leave.
Soon, he was gone.
‘Hiding in the shadows?’ James stroked his chin as he thought about it.
Who was Callan referring to? Could they be ancient martial artists from Sol?
After brief contemplation, he put his thoughts aside the moment he noticed Polaris was awake. He walked over to
him. Before he could approach where the Polaris Sect was located, the martial artists all glared at him, alert. Some
even brandished their weapons.
James looked at them. A single glance was enough to send shivers down their spines. Unconsciously, they
staggered backward.
James casually walked over to Polaris. Upon seeing Polaris who was resting on a rock, a slight grin crept up on his
face, “Are you alright, Archbishop Polaris?”
“Y-You…” Polaris’ face paled, and he opened his mouth wide.
James said smilingly, “I’m a doctor, by the way. Would you like me to have a look at your injuries?”
“Trying to humiliate me, James?” Polaris roared.
However, his yelling aggravated his injuries, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. In his eyes, James was here to
humiliate him.
“What are you talking about, Archbishop Polaris? Why would I be here to humiliate you? I’m just here to ask you a
question and heal your injuries while I’m at it. Besides, I didn’t even go all out. You were the one who tried to
ambush me, and I had no choice but to retaliate. Even so, I suppressed my True Energy, or else you’d be dead.”

Polaris opened his mouth, but no words came out of it.
James grabbed his arm.
“Wh-What are you trying to do?” Polaris’ face paled as he struggled. However, he could not exert even a single

James took his pulse and said, “You’ll be alright. You just suffered some internal injuries from the Sword Energy.
You’ll recover soon, I promise.”
As he said that, a thin wire fell from his sleeves and immediately became a handful of needles. Holding Crucifier in
his hand, he began using it to heal Polaris’ injuries.
The moment James began inserting the needles, Polaris could feel his body ease up.
“What…”
He was stunned but before he could recollect himself, James inserted a few more needles. Instantly, he could feel
his injuries recuperating.
Stunned, he could not even utter a single word.
James extracted the needles and looked at the stunned Polaris, saying, “You should be fine now. However, you have
to be careful not to overexert yourself. Rest well and you’ll recover in no time.”
“T-This is unbelievable.”
Polaris could not believe his eyes.
