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

Thea opened and shut her mouth. She did not expect James to return so soon. She did not foresee this scenario. Her cheeks were red. She felt ashamed. Even though she had not divorced James, she was now getting engaged to another man. She looked at Zavier pleadingly. “M-Mr. Watson, could we postpone the engagement? I’d like to properly divorce James before marrying you.” Zavier’s face darkened. He said coldly, “What do you mean by this, Thea Callahan?” “I…” Thea was at a loss for words. James was below the stage, staring at Thea, who was wearing a white wedding dress. He uttered word by word, “Thea, I won’t force you to do anything. However, you and I are still husband and wife. We’re not even divorced, yet you’re already getting engaged to another man. What do you take me for?” Even though James knew Thea was forced to do this, he was nonetheless aggrieved. All this while, he had been working tirelessly to stay by Thea’s side. Now, she was getting engaged to ano

Zavier collapsed. Thump! A loud sound came from the stage. Everyone was dumbfounded. “James…” A cold voice came. Gavin, who was in a suit, headed toward James. Enraged, he glared at James. James returned the glare. “Hmph.” James turned to leave. “Stop him!” Gavin roared. In an instant, a dozen security guards surrounded James. There were even members of the police force among them. They blocked James’ path. “Standing in my way?” James’ face darkened. “Let go of Thea, you trash!” Gladys exclaimed. “Haven’t you brought enough shame to us already? Get out of my sight this instant!” James paid no attention to her. Seeing the number of security guards and police, Thea was worried. She gripped James’ hand and whispered, “Y-You should leave, James. They’re rich and powerful. There’s no way you can beat them.” “Leave?” James looked at her and said, “Leave my wife behind?” “I…” Thea’s voice trembled. She did not expect things to turn out this way. G

The police were dumbstruck by the scene. “W-What power!” “The stage collapsed with a single stomp?” While the police were rooted in their spots, James got off the stage and approached Gavin. He grabbed him by the collar and inserted a few silver needles into his body. Gavin immediately collapsed to the floor. His body fell limp. He could not even utter a single word. “Gavin, if you wish to live, beg for forgiveness at the Callahans’ villa. Otherwise, you’ll be dead in three days.” Saying that, James grabbed Thea and turned to leave. No one stopped him. After all, Zavier was lying beside the collapsed stage like a dead dog. Meanwhile, Gavin was on the floor too. His veins could be seen, and he wore a painful expression. His face was contorted with rage. He wanted to speak but could not even utter a single word. The grand engagement ceremony had turned into a fiasco because of James’ appearance. Everyone was puzzled. How did the useless, good-for-nothing James p

James was thinking about what he should do. He planned to teach the Watsons a lesson and make an example out of them. That way, everyone would know how easy it was for the Black Dragon to bring ruin to a family even though he had resigned. Zavier’s threat sent shivers down Thea’s back. She pleaded tearfully, “I was wrong, Mr. Watson. Please give me another chance.” Zavier wanted to speak. However, the excruciating pain prevented him from doing so. Gavin was the same. After James inserted the silver needles into his body, he felt as if there were uncountable creepy crawlies crawling inside of him and devouring his flesh. At that moment, he was reminded of James’ other identity. He was a genius doctor. Legend had it that the Black Dragon’s medical skills were unrivaled. As such, his medical skills could also be used to kill a person. James frightened him. There was fear in his heart. He wanted to beg for forgiveness. However, the pain in his body was too excru
Chapter 412
At the Callahans’ residence… Everyone gathered. They all wore surly expressions. Thea was still wearing the wedding dress that was worth thirty-eight million dollars. She was seated on the sofa. Looking at the Callahans who had grim expressions, she spoke, “Dad, mom, stop blaming James. He did it for my sake. Besides, we’re husband and wife. This is all my fault.” Gladys stood up and slapped her across the face. “Are you as dumb as James?” “Do you not know who Zavier is? Do you still not know what kind of a man James is? He’s incomparable to Zavier. A single word from you could have chased James away. B-But, what have you done?!” Gladys was frustrated at Thea. That was the closest she ever got to having an impressive son-in-law. Her plans were ruined because of James. Thea’s cheeks were reddened by the slap. She covered her face and sobbed. “What does this have to do with me? This was David’s fault all along. If it wasn’t for him stealing my money, this wouldn’t
Chapter 413
James did not know Thea and David had been abducted by Maximus and his men. He went to the Watsons’ villa. However, there was no one there. After asking around, he found out that Zavier had been sent to the hospital. Gavin, on the other hand, was there accompanying his son. James then headed to the hospital. At the city hospital in Cansington… In the operation room… Gavin was pacing outside. In the corridor in the distance stood a few bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses. As Gavin knew that James was strong, he specifically brought them along. After all, he had begun his reprisal against the Callahans. He was worried about James coming for him. That was why he brought the bodyguards with him. They were vicious characters. Not only that, they were good fighters capable of taking down multiple men in seconds. The door of the operating room opened. A middle-aged doctor wearing a mask walked out. Gavin immediately walked over to him and asked anxiously, “How i
