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

A burst of laughter boomed through the hall.A man laughed excitedly, “I won! I got back all the money I lost with profits! Looks like I’ll be having fun with some young models at the clubhouse later!”He laughed as he left the casino.David was tempted as he watched the man leave. ‘Surely I can’t be this unlucky forever. I should try a few more rounds.’ David reasoned with himself.“Let’s go to a VIP private room. You’ll be around more big shots like yourself. Let’s play some bigger and more exciting games. I know you’re not running out of money, right?“We can go inside the private rooms, and I’ll…” the woman pinched David’s body suggestively.David shuddered at the touch.“Alright, let’s go.”The woman led David into a private room.There were seven or eight people in there.They were currently playing the most popular game, bullfighting.Seeing David enter the private room, everyone smiled in unison.The woman dragged David to them and said with a smile, “Hey there, H

800 million dollars with a 200 million interest charged daily.How was he going to pay it back?David was in despair, and his body felt numb. Everything around him was going dark and the thought to just end it all and leave this behind flashed through his mind more than once.“David, you should go back to ask for money. That guy is Maximus Leviticus. He’s known for being extremely ruthless. If you don’t get him his money, not only you but all the Callahans will be finished,” the sexy woman said in an encouraging tone.The woman worked for the underground casino, and her name was Lulu Lucas.She was responsible for entertaining the high rollers that visited the casino.Hearing this, David shivered. He stood up and wanted to leave.However, he could not muster up the strength in his body to take a step forward.He had no idea how he got home.At home, he lay down in bed and did not want to move or eat dinner.He opened the window several times and tried to jump out.He found

James was shocked speechless.Drying laundry?His deadly weapon, Crucifier, was being used to dry laundry?This was a weapon he obtained ten years ago that was at the center of his mysterious medical skills. The crucifier consisted of 81 very special needles that formed a steel wire.James went to the balcony.His steel wire was hanging on the balcony with several pieces of underwear on it.James’ eyebrow twitched out of incredulity.He took off the underwear and retrieved the Crucifier.The steel wire made of silver needles seemed to come to life and instantly wrapped around James’ arms.Thea suddenly emerged from the inside.“By the way, what do you need the steel wire for on a business trip? It’s such a neat little tool to have around the house.”James smiled again and said nothing in response to her question.“Darling, it’s getting late. I need to report to the company right now.”He went back to his room, took out a black trenchcoat from his closet, and put it on.“T

James sat on the plane with a brooding expression that clouded over his face. The cabin temperature seemed to drop by several degrees from his chilly attitude alone.Soon, the plane landed in the Southern Plains. James received a phone call as soon as he got off the plane.It was an unknown number.“Black Dragon, head to the Mount Thunder Pass alone. You must not bring anyone with you. You can be prepared to collect Black Shadow’s corpse if we spot someone following you.”The other party gave him brief directions and hung up the phone. James frowned. How did he get contacted the literal moment he stepped off the plane?Had the enemy been watching his every move and was his whereabouts exposed to them?Who was targeting him?This was the headquarters of a military region in the Southern Plains.As soon as James got off the plane, a group of people rushed to greet him.The person in the lead was the lieutenant in uniform with a one-star badge on his shoulder. Behind him wa

“Excellent.” His hoarse voice exclaimed with satisfaction.Following that, a sinister laugh echoed throughout the mountain.‘Black Dragon, Mount Thunder Pass will be your grave. This time, I’ve gathered elite killers from the twenty-eight-nations on the mountain today. You won’t be able to escape today even with your extraordinary strength.’James had no idea that there were 28 elite mercenaries gathered at the top of the mountain waiting for him.The Black Dragon was too powerful a figure, and other countries were determined to remove him. Meanwhile, James continued to drive toward Mount Thunder Pass.Soon, he arrived at the border.“Stop right there!”A horn blared in front of him.Some military vehicles approached, and many fully armed soldiers emerged. Then, they approached him with their dark gun barrels pointed at James’ off-road vehicle.James hit the breaks.Screeech!!!The tires screeched against the ground, and dust rose up. He opened the door and got out of

James hid the car and ascended the mountain road. He glanced ahead and took out his phone.His phone had fallen silent.His whereabouts seemed clear to the enemy despite the lack of a tracker on him. With this, he deduced that they were somehow tracking him through his phone.He dashed out and disappeared into the forest beside the mountain road.Entering deep into the mountain forest, he managed to find a hare and tied his phone to it. James patted the hare’s small head and released it.The hare instantly disappeared into the forest.Meanwhile, James walked out of the dense forest and made his way to the mountaintop.“Where’s the Black Dragon?”“His phone location seems to suggest he’s wandering around the mountain and is getting further from Mount Thunder Pass.”“As expected from the Black Dragon, he noticed what we were doing. He’s definitely making his way here as we speak. Pass down the order for everyone to stay on guard. Use drones to keep an eye on the mountain trail

He saw many fully armed mercenaries, combat aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, and other lethal weapons. His lips twisted in a scowl upon seeing this scene.It would be difficult for him to secretly rescue Henry since Mount Thunder was so heavily guarded.If he simply showed himself, a fierce battle would ensue.James was not afraid of fighting.However, he was afraid of Henry’s life being used as leverage against him during the battle.After observing the enemies' situation, James quietly descended the tree and approached Mount Thunder.Not long after, he saw fully armed mercenaries ahead. He cautiously scanned the surroundings and found countless snipers hidden throughout the area.There were many people hiding on the mountain roads to the top.The whole area was filled with danger, and he’d be courting death if he continued to advance. Yet, Henry would die if he did not ascend the mountain.Henry had followed him for many years, and he was not going to let him die a te
