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
Hundreds of men lay dead in the villa. Only one survived. It was Zavier. Although he was still alive, he was crippled. His limbs were broken, and his reproductive organ was destroyed. Even if he survived, he would have to spend the remainder of his life in a wheelchair. Soon, the Blithe King arrived. After receiving James’ call, he was anxious and immediately deployed the helicopters. Soon, a few helicopters arrived and landed at the villa. The Blithe King, who was in military attire with a five-star badge on his shoulder, appeared. Seeing Gavin, Maximus, and Zavier lying in a pool of blood, the Blithe King hurried over to James. He frowned. “What happened?” “Nothing big.” James pointed at Maximus lying on the floor and said, “That man is involved in shady businesses. Investigate him and uproot his entire force from the underworld. As for Gavin, just say he was arrested or killed by the military while conspiring with someone from the underworld.” Saying that, he l
Soon, James was back. He pushed the door of Common Clinic open and walked in. Whitney immediately stood up and greeted, “Hey, James.” “Mhm.” James lightly nodded and looked at Thea, whose eyes were glued to the screen. He walked over there and sat beside her. “Are you alright, Thea?” “Yes.” Thea looked at James and pointed at the TV. “W-What’s going on? G-Gavin’s dead?’ James nodded and said, “I know that the Watsons are influential. Since calling the police wouldn’t work, I reported them to the military. The higher-ups took my report seriously, and the Blithe King himself led an army to Osmanthus villa and exterminated them all. Since Gavin resisted arrest, he was killed on the spot.” “By the way, Maximus is dead too. With him gone, there’ll be no one else targeting the Callahans.” “T-The Blithe King himself?” Thea was shocked. “Of course. This is Cansington which the Blithe King holds jurisdiction over. He would not stand idly and watch these wicked people act as
Seeing that Thea was safe, Gladys rushed toward her, crying tears of joy. “Thea, you’re fine! Thank goodness. I was just watching the news. They said Maximus and the others had an illegal gathering at Osmanthus villa. I thought you…” “Mom, I’m alright. James reported the incident to the military. It’s all thanks to him that we’re fine.” “By the way, where’s Dave? Where’s your brother?” “Where’s my husband? Did anything happen to him?” Seeing that David was not there with them, Alyssa burst into tears. “David, how could you leave us just like that? Our child isn’t even born yet…” “Mom, he’s alright. He was injured and sent to the hospital. Let’s visit him.” Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they headed straight to the hospital. As David was sent to the hospital early, his operation was already over. He lay on the bed in the special ward and looked at the ceiling, daydreaming. Today’s incident had been too shocking. He thought it was the end fo
