Chapter 409
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
Chapter 411
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

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

Again, James found no one. He called Jake immediately. Soon, the call went through. “Hey there, isn’t this the Black Dragon? How’s it going?” James could hear his sarcastic tone. James ordered, “I need to know the whereabouts of the Watsons. Get on it now.” “James, you’re no longer the Black Dragon. You have no right to order me around. Please stop contacting me from today onward.” Jake did not give James any face. He was involved in the buying and selling of intelligence. While James was still the Black Dragon, Jake was fearful of him. After all, people involved in shady businesses were afraid of government officials. However, now that James had resigned, Jake no longer feared him. Besides, due to his work nature, he had lots of insider information. He knew that many wanted James dead. James was currently in a precarious position. “Very well, Jake Graham.” James hung up the phone. Even Jake had begun to disobey him. They believed that he was now a clawles
Chapter 415
In the basement of Osmanthus villa, Thea and David were tied to a chair. Looking at Thea in her wedding dress, her curvaceous figure, and her flawless features, Maximus gulped. He had been eyeing Thea for quite some time now. He wanted to seize this opportunity to get into bed with her. Before that, Zavier had gotten in his way. To become the king of the underworld in Cansington, he had to suppress his desires. However, now that she and Zavier had had a falling out, the thoughts resurfaced. “Maximus, what a fine woman she is! Her smooth and fair skin is capable of seducing any man. You’re in luck! Can we try her out after you?” His men stared at Thea with saliva dripping from their mouths. Maximus slapped one of his men across the face and scolded, “This is Zavier’s woman. We’ll wait for him to come. Now that Thea has humiliated him, he’ll surely torture her to death. When the time comes, I might take up your offer.” “Yes, of course. You’re right.” His men nodded.

She was filled with remorse. “Thea, this is what happens when you go against me. I gave you a chance to be my wife, to be Mrs. Watsons, but no! You just had to go against me!” Zavier gritted his teeth. He liked Thea. Her every move deeply attracted him. He wanted to be with her. Even though she had a husband, he did not mind. However, he did not expect Thea to humiliate him at the engagement ceremony. By leaving with James, she had put him to shame. Not only that, James even crippled him. “Thea Callahan… The most beautiful woman in Cansington… But not for long, I’m afraid. I’ll make you the ugliest woman in Cansington. If I can’t have you, no one else can! And since I can’t have you, I might as well ruin you.” His face contorted with rage, Zavier barked, “Prepare the gasoline.” Maximus immediately ordered, “Get moving, quick!” A few men swiftly left the basement to get some gasoline. Thea was dismayed. She did not know what awaited her. She knew there woul
