Chapter 400
The nation observed ten minutes of silence to honor the Black Dragon, the God of War. After informing the press of the circumstances surrounding the Black Dragon’s death, Levi shooed the reporters away. After all, what he was about to do next was not suitable for television broadcasts. Levi entered the consulate general. Envoys of the twenty-eight-nations were here for the negotiations. After Levi walked in, a few soldiers carried the still unconscious, badly injured Henry in. Levi cut to the chase and spoke in a firm voice, “In accordance with international practices, you’ll have to pay a ransom for every prisoner of war. A million for each common soldier, ten billion for a general, and five billion for a lieutenant, and since you’ve killed our commander-in-chief, we’ll increase the price tenfold. We request that you pay up immediately. Otherwise, they will be executed this instant.” Levi revealed their demands. Enraged, the envoys stood up. “No way.” “Levi, you’re t

The Callahans gathered. “Thea, have you thought of anything yet? The court summon is already here, and the trial will begin tomorrow morning. The Xenoses are getting the money back via legal means.” David wore a worried expression. Thea had been out for the whole day. He wondered if she had gotten the money. Thea’s face was pale. Her exquisite face was devoid of emotions. Like an emotionless robot, she sat there without moving. Slam! At that moment, the Callahans’ front door was kicked open. Maximus along with his men stormed into the house. Appalled, the Callahans stood up. Maximus brought his men in and sat on the sofa. Meanwhile, the Callahans stood by the side with horrified expressions. Maximus glanced at them and said with a mischievous grin, “Have you prepared the money?” Thud! David knelt on the floor immediately and pleaded, “Please, give me a few more days! My sister has been trying to get the money by sleeping with rich men. I’ll have the money read

Thea wanted to bid James goodbye. However, she could not bring herself to do so. Now, she had to stay with Zavier and wait till a later time to explain things to James. She had no other option. Otherwise, her brother’s life would be in peril, and her family would face destruction. James, on the other hand, did not know what was happening in Cansington. He did not think much about it either. He could not leave as he needed to stay by Henry’s side to monitor his condition. Thea called Zavier. At the Watsons’ villa in Goodview Villa District, Thea was sitting on the sofa. Before her meeting with Zavier, she had gone home to put on makeup and change into a white, revealing slip dress. The smooth and fair skin of her neck and arms was exposed for all to see. Meanwhile, Zavier sat by the side and scrutinized her. Wearing a satisfied look, he scanned her from head to toe. ‘Perfect… She’s a flawless woman.’ “Think carefully, Thea. I’m not the one forcing you into this

“Understood.” His men went to the basement and brought the badly injured David up. Zavier stood up and said, “You may get the money from the Watsons’ residence. I’ll take him from here. I hope that’s fine with you.” “Not a problem. I trust you.” “Need an IOU?” Maximus handed an IOU to Zavier. Zavier then handed it to Thea. Thea said gratefully, “T-Thank you.” Zavier lightly waved. “Drop the formalities. We’re gonna be family soon. Quick, bring your brother to the hospital. I’ll be making the arrangements. Let’s get engaged tomorrow.” “Ah? S-So soon?” Thea was stunned. She then said, “B-But, I haven’t divorced James yet.” Zavier smiled. “It’s alright. You can divorce him after we get engaged.” Zavier wanted to tell her that James was the Black Dragon and had died on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder Pass. However, after brief contemplation, he chose to remain silent. Thea would soon be his woman. He did not want her to feel miserable. Thea fell silent. After a l

Something must have happened in Cansington. “Watch Henry closely,” James instructed. Saying that, he left the room. In the corridor, he lit a cigarette and called Thea. It was seven in the morning. Thea had woken up early and gone to the Watsons’ villa. She was dressed in a white wedding dress. A make-up artist was applying make-up on her. Her phone rang. Seeing that it was James, she froze. Should she answer the call? What would she say to him? After momentarily freezing, she picked up the phone. “What’s wrong, Thea? I was really tired last night. I slept immediately upon returning to the hotel. I didn’t know you called.” James’ voice came from the phone. Thea was at a loss. She took a deep breath and said, “I-It’s nothing. I wish you the best at work.” Saying that, she hung up the phone. James was puzzled. Nothing? Something was wrong with her tone. At that moment, his phone rang. It was Xara. He answered the call. “What’s wrong?” “Whew!” Aft

Seeing James get off the plane alongside an unconscious Henry, the Blithe King momentarily froze. Then, he walked over to them and hugged James. “I knew you’d be alright. You scared me. I thought you died at Mt. Thunder Pass.” James smiled slightly and said, “I’m still young. Besides, I have such a beautiful wife waiting for me at home. How could I die so easily?” “Still have time for jokes? I heard your wife’s getting engaged to someone else.” Hearing this, James’ face darkened. The Blithe King hurriedly changed the subject, “What happened to Black Shadow?” James replied, “He got into an accident. Bring him to the military hospital immediately and have men watch over him round the clock. Notify me if anything happens.” “Understood.” The Blithe King nodded and immediately ordered, “Send the Black Shadow General to the military hospital now.” Saying that, he put his arms around James’ shoulder. “What happened exactly? Why would you go to Mt. Thunder Pass after arrivi
Chapter 406
The Watsons were in a festive mood. Though they were the representative of North Cansington in the Five Provinces Business Alliance, they always kept a low profile. The moment they chose to be known, they would shock all of Cansington. Rows after rows of luxury cars were parked outside of the Watsons’ villa. None of them were worth less than five million dollars. Moreover, those cars were at the bottom rung. There were innumerable luxury cars worth tens of millions. All kinds of bigwigs had come to congratulate Zavier and Thea on their marriage. At the foyer of the villa… Each floor of the villa was at least two thousand square meters. There was a stage in the middle of the foyer. Under the stage, many people from the business world gathered. Some of them were even from the political realm. Under their watchful gaze, Zavier walked in with Thea, hand-in-hand. Thea was wearing a white wedding dress. It was tailor-made for her. There were even shining diamonds on it.

James had returned from the Southern Plains. After making sure of Henry’s condition in the military region and finding out about Thea and Zavier’s engagement, he hurriedly made his way to the Watsons’ villa. As it was only eleven in the morning, he still had time. Many people had gathered in the courtyard of the Watsons’ villa, and they were in a festive mood. James’ appearance attracted the crowd’s attention. “Isn’t that Thea’s husband, James?” “Why is he here?” “Didn’t he divorce Thea?” “He’s probably here to get some money out of Zavier.” They covertly discussed. Wearing a surly expression, James walked toward the front door. A few security guards immediately blocked his path. One of them took an electric baton out and pointed it at James. He barked, “Hey, do you know where you are? What makes you think you can enter as you please? Get lost!” James looked at the security guard. His gaze was fierce. The security guard felt as if he was being stared down by a
