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.
