Chapter 361
In an instant, the place was once again empty. Only Thea, Trevor, and some other employees stayed behind.‘Is there no other way but to move our equipment?’ Thea was unwilling to back down. She had wanted to leave her mark in the business world. Century Group was supposed to only be the beginning. Yet, it seems as if everything was crashing down even before she could take off.“Granduncle.”“Go ahead, Chairman.”Thea thought for a while and proceeded, “Rent a new warehouse immediately and transport all our current equipment there. We’ll have a chance to bounce back from this as long as our equipment remains intact. I’ve still got some money on my card. We’ll find a new site and build a new factory.”“Chairman, this…” Larry floundered helplessly.“The company still has plenty of unfished orders right now. We won’t be able to fulfill our orders in time and will violate our contracts if we move right now. We’ll lose a lot of money. Plus, don’t we have the lease contract? We ca
Chapter 362
Thea made arrangements to rent a new warehouse and move the factory’s equipment.Then, she personally went to Longevity Pharmaceuticals headquarters.In the past, she had a close relationship with Yuna. As a result, she never needed to make an appointment and was free to visit Yuna whenever she pleased.Today, however, she found her path barred by security guards as soon as she arrived at Longevity Pharmaceuticals’ headquarters.“Stop right there! What business do you have here?”“I’m here to see Yuna,” said Thea.“You’re here to see Ms. Lawson? Do you have an appointment?” “I-I’m Thea…”“I am aware of who you are. Go back if you don’t have an appointment.”Thea was unable to do anything as she was blocked by the security guards.She took out her phone and called Yuna.On the top floor of Longevity Pharmaceuticals, the Chairman’s office.Yuna crossed her legs. She was with her family who was visiting from the Capital.“Yuna, James is no longer the Black Dragon. He is no l

Unfortunately the manager was not around, so she had to leave.Next, she went to Celestial Group.The situation played out almost identically to what happened at Longevity Pharmaceuticals.Alex from Celestial Group was extremely unwelcoming, and his attitude was far worse than Yuna's.Both Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals did not receive Thea’s arrival well. Her career had been smooth sailing all this while.Now that everything was quickly spiraling downward, Thea finally realized her own incompetence.Without the Black Dragon’s support, she was nothing.Exhausted and dejected, she returned home.James was already there to greet her.Seeing Thea so upset, James walked over and massaged her shoulders. “Darling, you’ve had a hard day at work.”“Am I useless, Honey?” “Of course not! My wife is the most capable person in the world.”Thea broke into a guttural sob.“Darling, what’s the matter? Don’t cry. You can tell me anything, and we’ll figure it out together

After James called Henry, he squatted by the road outside the neighborhood and waited.Half an hour later, Henry showed up in a car. He rolled down the car window and waved to James beside the road.“James, get in the car,” Henry called out.James walked over, got into the passenger seat, and found Whitney sitting in the back seat. He did not comment about her presence.“I read the news, James. Do the Great Four have a death wish? How dare they kick up a fuss at Thea’s company? Do you want me to make a call to the Southern Plains and get some men to come over?”, said Henry.“Forget it. That’s not necessary.” James waved his hands dismissively.“Although you’ve resigned, the men of the Southern Plains will always support you. Everyone will come to your aid if you just give the word. As it stands, the situation right now is volatile, and it’ll be hard for us to fight this battle alone,” Henry weighed out the pros and cons of the situation.He was an outsider in this matter.Thu

“Attack! Get them both!”Dozens of security guards charged fiercely forward with their electric batons. The closest one to them suddenly raised his electric baton and swung it at James’ head.James raised his hand, caught the electric baton, and swung down on the security guard’s wrist.“Argh!!!”The security guard screamed in pain.James followed up with a kick on his chest, and the security guard was instantly knocked back, landing heavily on the ground and groaning in pain.James and Henry had been through hundreds of battles and walked through countless near-fatal situations. These dozens of security guards were nothing compared to their past opponents.In just a minute, all the security guards that had come at them lay on the floor either unconscious or wracked with pain.Top floor, Yuna’s office.An attractive secretary ran into the room, out of breath and flustered. “M-Ms. Yuna, we’ve got a problem! Someone called James has fought his way into the building. More than

After resolving the matter at Longevity Pharmaceuticals, James and Henry made their way toward Celestial Group.Soon, they arrived at their destination. Henry parked the car. Then, the two got out of the car together and walked side-by-side toward Celestial Group Headquarters.Unlike Longevity Pharmaceuticals, the two were not blocked by security this time. After entering the building, they walked toward the elevator and headed to the top floor.As soon as they got out of the elevator, several guards were gathered outside. They were chatting happily.The security guards immediately approached them.One of them pulled out an electric baton from his waist and pointed it at James and Henry who had exited the elevator. “What are you doing here? This is the chairman’s exclusive floor! Leave right now!” the security guard growled at them.In a few steps, Henry dashed over and snatched the electric baton out of the security guard’s hand. He then brought it down hard over the man’s

James’ fearless expression made Alex uncomfortable.“Or else, you die…” he replied indifferently.As soon as the word “die” left his mouth, James immediately made his move.He raised his hand, and a few silver needles shot out.Before the few burly men could react, they lost strength in their bodies and fell to the ground. They were unable to even get up.“Wh-What?”Alex's face twitched in shock.He had heard rumors that the Black Dragon was a man of incredible strength.These rumors were meant to be gross exaggerations, not actually true!Everyone who faced the Black Dragon ended up dead.He never expected James to possess such might.James stood up.Alex instinctively retreated, and beads of sweat emerged on his forehead.“Alex, you’ve got some nerve…”He felt James’ intention to kill, and his expression immediately changed.A smile formed on his chubby face. “J-James, it was all just a prank. I heard you were crazily strong and never had the chance to witness it mys

It only took two hours for James to go out and return home.Thea still had not woken up from her nap.James entered the house and smoked a cigarette in the living room.He checked the time and noticed that Thea had slept for quite a while. He got off his seat and went into the room.Thea was lying on the bed wearing a thin dress. Perhaps because of the heat, the neckline of her dress was wide open, and her bra had slipped off. Her cleavage was in clear view for James.James almost had a nosebleed.He gently shook Thea awake.“Darling, time to get up and study.”Thea opened her eyes in confusion, and the first thing she saw was her husband’s familiar face. In her groggy state, she got out of bed and straightened her messy clothes. She blushed after realizing her bra had nearly slipped off.James chuckled.“W-What’s so funny?” Thea raised her head and rolled her eyes at James.“You’ve got a really great figure, Darling. I could barely hold myself back from taking you into my a
