James wore a nonchalant expression.At this moment, the employees had already driven out all the customers in the store, leaving only James and Thea left on the second floor.Stomp, stomp, stomp!Rapid footsteps approached them.Soon, dozens of people arrived on the second floor.These people appeared with iron rods, machetes, electric batons, and some even carrying bricks.“Mr. Washington.”A man in his twenties approached and greeted them respectfully.Thea’s face went pale after seeing the dozens of armed men.Meanwhile, James still had a calm expression.Washington laughed and stood up. “Haha. Brat, show me how you’re going to be arrogant now. Immediately kneel down and apologize. I promise to let this matter go after breaking your legs and playing with your wife for a few days. Or else…”James' face immediately darkened. He could endure any threats against him.However, there was only one end for those who tried to mess with Thea—death!“Or else what?”James stood

Thea was frightened the moment she heard the police were coming.Initially, she was not afraid of them showing up.They were in the right, and the pharmacy was trying to scam their customers, forcing them to purchase goods.However, James had injured so many people now.This matter was not a serious problem, nor was it a small problem.To say it was small was because it could be settled with a few words.To say it was serious was because James could get imprisoned for fighting and hurting people.“What do we do, honey? What can we do? Oh, right! The Hills have people in the military region. I’ll call them for help.”Thea suddenly had an idea and wanted to make a phone call.James prevented her promptly, “Darling, it’s alright. It’s really alright. You don’t have to call others and trouble them. I’ll settle this, okay? Trust me…”The sound of footsteps came closer at this moment.A dozen policemen rushed to the second floor.The policemen were dumbfounded to see the second f

James glanced at the policemen in front of him.There were a total of eleven of them, and four approached with guns. He stretched his hand behind his back and took out eleven silver needles.Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!The policemen were closing in on him.James waves his hand abruptly.Four silver needles flew out like hidden weapons and accurately pierced into the wrists of four policemen.“Argh!!!” Screams sounded.The four guns immediately fell to the floor.James waved his hand again.Several silver needles flew out and sank into the other policemen’s bodies, accurately piercing their acupuncture points. Their bodies felt numb and were unable to move anymore.The scene shocked Dean.Washington was also terrified.“How?”Thea was also stunned.She had been with James for so long and never knew that James had such strange combat skills.It was shocking enough that he took down dozens of people. Now, he was firing silver needles and subduing so many police officers with a wav

James pulled Thea out of Primary Pharmacy.James was a little speechless by the situation.How did so much trouble happen just from buying ginseng?They left the pharmacy and stood on the streets.Thea shook off James' hands and stretched out her slender hands.“Take it out.”“Huh?“Take what out?” James was taken aback and clarified with Thea.“Don’t act dumb. Do you think I didn’t see the black card you took out just now?”James took out his Back Dragon identity card, and Thea immediately snatched it from him.“General of the Southern Plains.”Thea burst out laughing after reading the words on the identity card.“Why are you laughing?”“Do you have nothing better to do, James? At least make a decent and realistic identity card. Why would you fake a General of the Southern Plains identity card?”James touched his nose.Before he could say anything else, Thea walked toward the trash can and threw away the identity card.“You…”James opened his mouth but did not say any

“Mhm,” James replied. “I’ve resolved the problem. By the way, my wife threw my identity card away. Give Chase a call and have him retrieve it. After that, keep it somewhere safe.” “Noted. Where is it?” James gave him the location. Daniel hung up and called Chase. Soon, Thea was here. They went to the parking lot. Then, they headed to the Hills’ residence. Meanwhile, after receiving Daniel’s call, Chase made haste and headed to the garbage bin Daniel mentioned. He rummaged through the bin. This scene attracted the attention of passers-by. “I-Isn’t he a one-star general? Why’s he rummaging through the dumpster?” “No way.” They were dumbfounded. Chase paid no heed to them. Very soon, he found a black identity card. After verifying its owner, he breathed a sigh of relief. “How ignorant could the general’s wife be? How could she throw the Black Dragon identity card into a garbage bin?” Thea did not know anything about it. To her, James had forged an identity
Chapter 302
Thea’s uncle was called Rigoberto Hills. He was the only one doing business in the family. His assets were several times more than that of the Callahans’. Cyrus was Rigoberto’s only son. After graduating college, he worked in his father’s company. In just a few years, he rose to become the general manager. In another few years, he would be the one taking over the chairman’s position. The rest of the Hills ingratiated themselves with Rigoberto’s family. They did so because their family was generous. They would hand over money—no strings attached—as long as the Hills requested it. The money he had lent out should total around a hundred million. Rigoberto looked at the limited-edition red Ferrari in front of the villa and nodded. “Not bad. It’s worth twenty-eight million dollars and is considered a top luxury car. Is it yours, David?” “Of course.” David lifted his head. He knew Cyrus’ family was wealthy. Every time he came to his grandmother’s house, he would be th

Xara replied, “I’m responsible for bringing in business on Food Street.” Cyrus hurriedly added, “Here’s the thing, Xara. We also plan to set up a business at Transgenerational Group. However, it’s only open to large corporations at the moment. Since you’re a high-ranking official, could you use your connections to allow my family to establish ourselves there?” “Umm…”Xara was in a difficult position. The company’s rules stated that all forms of corruption and cronyism were forbidden. If found guilty, the consequences would be dire. However, she could not just turn down her family’s request. She looked at James. Seeing that James remained silent, she contemplated and nodded. “I can’t decide by myself. I’ll speak to Ms. Brooks once I get back.” “That’s great!” Cyrus exclaimed. “As expected of Xara, she’s now a department manager at Transgenerational Group.” Zacchaeus wore a smug look. He was proud to have a daughter like Xara. After realizing the position Xara holds, e

Thea knew what the Hills were like. Back then, when she was belittled and looked down upon, she could not say anything. Now, she was disgusted by how they disparaged her husband. Facing the Hills, she exclaimed, “My husband’s not useless. He’s a genius doctor. He treated my injuries. He can be the number one doctor in all of Cansington if he wishes to be.” Gladys, who was hanging her head in shame, chimed in upon hearing Thea’s words, “Yes, he’s not entirely useless. You should know how grave Thea’s injuries were. Her body was badly burnt, and there were scars all over her. However, James treated all of her injuries in just ten short days. If he isn’t a genius doctor, who is?” Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They could not refute her words. Meanwhile, Jedidiah fixed his gaze on James. He was a veteran and had suffered long-term sequelae after sustaining injuries. Now that he was aging by the day, his body condition was deteriorating. He had gone to Cansingt
