Roar of the Supreme Warrior
Chapter 512

Whoever they were, James was surprised at how blatant they were.

This was not the border of the Southern Plains. This was a developed, peaceful city.

Looking in the mirror, he studied the situation.

The rocket launcher was aimed straight at his car.

He was slightly worried.

If they fired, he could probably avoid the shot, but there would still be several injuries and fatalities since there were so many cars on the road.

However, his concern was for naught.

They never fired.

"What are they doing?"

He was confused.

He weaved in and out of traffic, turning onto the highway. Then, he started to head toward the suburbs.

He was driving a Volkswagen that cost only above twenty thousand dollars. The car was already going at 200 kilometers per hour while the engine was going at seven thousand revolutions. "James, what are you doing? You're driving too fast! Stop!"

Thea was pale as she was thrown from left to right. She was jostled so much she was feeling nauseous.

Looking in the mirror again, he discovered that the cars were still pursuing him.

His confusion grew.

They had every chance to blow his car up, so why did they not?

He finally reached the suburbs and stopped at an abandoned place.

Once he stopped, Thea opened the door and fell out in a heap, throwing up on the side of the road.

All the cars in pursuit stopped as well.

James noticed that many people exited the cars.

He stood in front of his car, looking at them with confusion.

They followed him, but they did not attack him. Obviously, they wanted him alone.

"James..."

A man strode over.

Wearing a black jacket and shades, he was about fifty years old and had dark skin.

James stared at him. "And you are?"

The middle-aged man threw a small vial at him.

James caught it, looking down at it.

It was a crystal vial containing some blue liquid. He frowned.

The middle-aged man smiled. "Drink up."

James prepared to launch a sneak attack.

The middle-aged man seemed to know what James was thinking. "You can try. Everyone here will perish, but I promise your wife will be dead too."

James rolled his shoulders and looked at the blue liquid in the vial. "At least tell me what it is."

The man said, "Don't worry. It won't kill you. You'll lose your sense of smell, and your limbs will stiffen slightly. That's all. It'll last the day. Once the medical conference is over, you'll be back to normal." James finally understood.

Someone did not want him at the medical conference, but they did not want to kill him either. Or maybe they knew that they could not kill him, or did not have the guts to.

That's why they came up with this trick. To numb James' senses and restrict his movements so that he will not be able to use his silver needles and make it to the medical conference.

"Once you drink it, we'll leave at once. We won't trouble you any further. Of course, you can choose not to drink it as well. We'll all perish together."

James twisted the cap and swallowed the contents, tossing the vial to one side. Looking at them, he asked, "Are we good?"

They turned to leave immediately.

James called out, "Hold on..."

They stopped.

With a dark expression, James asked, "Who's behind this? Who's stopping me from attending the medical conference? Is there something going on at the medical conference?"

He was met with silence.

His pursuers got into their cars and drove off.

Thea was still vomiting.

James had driven too fast, weaving in and out of traffic. It was too much for her.

She knew that someone tailed them. She knew they were talking to James, but she was in no state to figure it out.

James waited till all the cars had left before he spit the blue liquid out.

Even though he spit most of it out, a small amount had entered his body and bloodstream.

Quickly, he took out some silver needles and inserted them into his body, using them to expel the blue liquid out of his body. Once Thea had finished vomiting, she felt much better. She wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue and walked toward James.
