Since assuming control of the affairs across the Greater Realms, Xanthakos favored those who were among the first to enter Zymurgy. Of course, some Alcide beings ingratiated themselves with him, pledging their loyalty.

"But think about it, his influence is already enough to force me to such an extent. He is also backed by Taiyi, even the other three Path Emperors have no choice but to follow him. So what can we, as Alcide beings, do?"

Listening to Goyo pour out his frustrations, Thea glanced at James and asked, "Does this mean we misjudged the Alcide beings?"

James replied calmly, "Not entirely. Their attitude toward US indeed had scrutiny, perhaps even excessive, but there are underlying reasons.

Ultimately, the cause of it all is Xanthakos."

Goyo frowned and said, "Exactly. In our eyes, Xanthakos represents all of the Greater Realms' beings. For his own selfish ambitions, he had brought such devastation to the Haleth Realm and has been actively suppressing our kind. How can we not be angry?"

James shrugged and stood up.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"You've already answered me very clearly. Whether or not it's true and worthy of my trust, I'll still have to verify. I still have one more question..."

Goyo smiled and said, "You want to know where the Wuia Palace is, and how to gain entry?"

James raised an eyebrow and said, "I love being straightforward. Since you're very sensible, let's not beat around the bush." Goyo nodded and said, I agree. But first, you must help me with something."

Thea chimed in with a smile, "You need help reclaiming the Goyo Daonus Realm?"

"Not only that," Goyo chuckled. "James, Cosimeon, Zdravko, Stavros, and Tai Chi, they're all likely waiting for your command to determine the outcome of the Forty-Ninth, right?

"That I can't agree with." James shook his head.

His words stunned Goyo momentarily. He had expected James to show some trust after hearing so much, but this outcome surprised him.

James asked, "Xanthakos is there right now. If I help you, do you think he wouldn't be alerted?"

Goyo twitched his cheek at James' words.

"Are...are you really not going to pick a side?"

James shrugged and said, "I've no choice. You're all cunning fexesm whereas my power is limited. I have to keep my guard up."

Goyo sighed heavily and then nodded.

"Very well, then. Come with me. At least help me reclaim the Goyoan Temple Otherwise, nothing will be able to proceed."

James had no objections. He waved his hand and immediately retracted the Gate of Annonymous. The next moment, he and Thea disappeared from the valley.
