“Yes.”James did not deny it and boasted, “Scarlett’s House of Royal belongs to me, and I can go if I want. I also arranged for Xara to work in the Transgenerational Group. Scarlett will listen to everything I say.”Thea rolled her eyes.“We flatter you a bit, and you go on making up more outrageous lies?”The Callahans glanced at him contemptuously.His lies were outrageous.“By your words, that means Scarlett is your wife, and you invited the Blithe King to the House of Royals today?” Tommy said coldly.James glanced at Tommy. “Of course.” “What a liar.” Tommy snorted.The other family members looked at him condescendingly.Now there was no more need for them to curry favor with James since he was not the one who solved the family crisis.Xara was from the same family as Gladys, the Hills. What did it have to do with James?James had told the truth. The Callahans did not believe him, and he could not do anything about it.It was not that they do not want to believe him.

“No way. Is Thea that influential?”“Even if the Cadens were a powerful family, they’re now long gone. Why would they make an effort to curry favor with Thea?”“In my opinion, Grayson from The Gourmand must’ve taken an interest in her.”Upon hearing this, Thea’s face reddened. She refuted the thought, “D-Don’t spout nonsense.”“Thea, Bryan Grayson is part of the Grayson family from the Capital. It’s a good thing he likes you. In my opinion, you should divorce James. That trash only leeches off the Callahans. Though he has no abilities whatsoever, he boasts non-stop.”The Callahans, once again, tried to convince Thea to divorce James.James had an exasperated look.Now that the scar was gone, they had forgotten about the pain.Thea glanced at James and said, “I married him, so I’m his wife. We may have had some misunderstandings in the past, but we’ve resolved those issues. I’m willing to give him another chance.”James felt a sense of warmth growing in his chest upon hearing h

Lex had organized a birthday banquet at the House of Royals.It was meant for the most powerful and influential people and hence was supposed to be a huge sensation in Cansington.Some went to get a glimpse of Thea, but most were there for the House of Royals.The House of Royals was no ordinary place. Since the Callahans managed to organize a birthday banquet there, it could only mean they were now acquainted with some big shot.No one expected there to be a false alarm.Now, everyone knew that it all happened because of a son-in-law of the Callahans, who used to be the vice-captain of North Cansington’s police force.Someone from the Cadens had been working as the secretary of a general of North Cansington’s Military Region, and it was only because of his connections that the Callahans were able to organize a banquet at the House of Royals.However, the secretary had made a mistake, which led to the false alarm at the Callahans’ banquet. As such, they were now once again a lau

Henry reported the situation to James.James’ face darkened. “How are the preparations going for the Blithe King?”Henry replied, “I’ve inquired about it. He told me he’s assembled a force of a hundred combat aircraft, three hundred tanks, five hundred armored vehicles, and a thousand convoys in the military region. They’re simply waiting for your command. However, the Blithe King said this would be the last time he helped you out. He also said he doesn’t want to create a commotion.”James said coldly, “I’ll spare those unrelated to the case. However, there’ll be no mercy for the ones involved.”Henry could feel the murderous intent in James’ voice.James walked out of Common Clinic.He had a change of clothes and was now wearing a large-sized trench coat. He held the mask he had earlier in his hands.Today, he would settle the feud from ten years ago.The men from The Great Four were gathered in the suburbs of Cansington near Flora Lakeside.As far as the eye could see, there

Though this was the suburbs, local farmers lived here. Today was Thanksgiving, and families gathered for the reunion. In the morning, armed men in the tens of thousands swarmed the area. The locals were appalled. They remained in the safety of their homes and did not wander. Some were even scared away, evacuating to other places. On both sides of the road stood black-vested men armed with weapons with ferocious looks on their faces. James and Henry approached them. The men received orders not to harm them for now. Soon, James arrived at the Cadens’ cemetery. The Cadens’ cemetery was teeming with people. A few coffins lay in holes dug on a slope not too far away. There were some flowers at the burial site. Outside the Cadens’ cemetery on an empty plot of land stood the current leaders of The Great Four: Hector Xavier, Melvin Fraiser, Kelvin Wilson, and Drake Zimmerman. Even Dawson, Nine Fingers, and the various underworld forces of Cansington were present. They had

The men from The Great Four chimed in. Meanwhile, Rowena was stupefied. There was nothing she could do now. She could only hope that not too many people would die today. She prayed that James would not touch those who were uninvolved. Under their gaze, James slowly took off his ghost mask. Upon seeing this, Henry followed suit. James’ true identity was unveiled. “J-James Caden?” “James, the son-in-law of the Callahans?” “No wonder. Since Thea Callahan saved his life, it’s not surprising that he opted to be the son-in-law of the Callahans.” “Haha, I thought he’d be some big shot. It turns out he’s just the son-in-law of the Callahans, the renowned trash in all of Cansington.” Upon glimpsing James’ true identity, they were stunned. However, almost immediately, they burst into laughter. Dawson gave a look. The honchos around him understood immediately. They stepped forward and pressed their guns against James’ and Henry’s heads. James was composed the entire ti

Hundreds of combat aircraft circled the sky. On the ground, hundreds upon thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, and convoys drove toward them in mighty formation. Rumble! As the tanks approached, the ground shook. Upon witnessing this spectacle, the men of The Great Four, Dawson, and Nine Fingers went silent. “What’s going on?” “W-Why is a military formation heading toward us?” “What’s happening?” They were dumbfounded. “Could be a military exercise.” “Yes, it has to be. Order the men not to act rashly. We’re gathered here today for the burial of our former leaders. As long as we don’t provoke them, they shouldn’t make things difficult for us.” “Quick, drop your weapons.” The men immediately tossed the weapons in their hands. Meanwhile, those armed with firearms concealed them. They were not in a hurry to deal with James. They only needed to wait for the military exercise to be over. Upon seeing this, however, Rowena was scared out of her wits. She nev

Henry got up and went to the car. He took some flowers, a memorial album, and other items to pay his respects to the deceased. James walked to Thomas’ tomb and knelt. His eyes were brimming with tears. It was this fateful day ten years ago. The men of The Great Four appeared at the Cadens’ residence, tied them up, and afflicted unspeakable acts of horror upon them. He was only eighteen years old back then. He could never forget his heart-wrenching screams as he witnessed the Cadens being tied up and burned to death in the fire. “You… It was you…” James stood abruptly and pointed at the men on the ground. He roared with a broken voice, “It was you ten years ago. You beasts in human skin! If you had even an ounce of conscience, you wouldn’t have done such a depraved thing!” His roar was akin to that of a thunderous clap. The men of The Great Four, as well as the underworld forces, did not dare retort. Rowena knelt before James and pleaded, “James, I was wrong. P
