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

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

It was no longer a secret that the Black Dragon was Thea’s backer and that he had crossed all the bigshots in Cansington. News had spread that a lot of powerful people wanted him dead. However, before they could act, news came that he had died on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder Pass. Yet, now, Zavier was saying that Thea was the Black Dragon’s wife. “J-James… The son-in-law of the Callahans… H-He’s the Black Dragon?” Maximus wore a fearful expression. “Cut the crap. Take her out now!” Zavier could not wait any longer. “Remember, get a woman to clean her up. I don’t wish for any other man to have a glimpse at her body before I do.” “Yes, of course.” Maximus nodded immediately. He did not think much of it. To him, Thea must have had some sort of intimate relationship with the Black Dragon while he was still alive. That was why Zavier said she was the Black Dragon’s wife. Thea was forcefully dragged away. Maximus ordered a few women to clean Thea up. After that,

It was a car Henry would normally use. Since Henry was at the hospital, Whitney was the one driving. He carried Thea into the car. “J-James, my brother’s still in the basement. S-Save him!” Thea exclaimed. “Got it.” James put Thea down and said to Whitney, “Bring her to Common Clinic.” Whitney nodded and said, “Be careful, James.” “I couldn’t care less about these insignificant beings.” Wearing a cold expression, James turned to leave. Whitney turned to look at Thea and said nothing. Then, she started the engine and drove away. James returned to Osmanthus villa. At the same time, he called the Blithe King. “I’m at Osmanthus villa in the suburbs. Clean up the mess in an hour.” Hanging up the phone, he headed straight toward the basement. Many of Maximus’ men were guarding the place. James walked toward them. In an instant, the fight was over. They all died a gruesome death. He saw David, who was tied up, and the blood dripping on the floor. It was David’s

In the afternoon, Zavier had his knee bones shattered and limbs broken, and he had just undergone surgery for those injuries. Now, before he could rest and recover, James had thrown him off the second floor. The bones all over his body were shattered. He was in excruciating pain. He lay in a pool of blood, motionless. At that moment, he felt fearful of death. His teeth chattering, he pleaded in a weak voice, “D-Don’t kill me. I beg you. Give me a chance. I’m rich. I can give you money.” He was truly afraid of death. He had never experienced such fear. The fear of death overwhelmed him. “S-Save me. Bring me to the hospital.” Zavier knew he would die if he remained here. James sat on the flight of stairs and stared at Gavin coldly. He then said, “Zavier’s an idiot. But, why did you join in with his foolish theatrics? Have you gone senile with your age? Though I’ve resigned from my post, I’m still the former commander-in-chief. Even if I’m decommissioned, what makes yo
