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

Thea’s mind was clear after all she had experienced. She loved James. James had a place in her heart. She remembered how James treated her injuries. She remembered James’ meticulous care and attention toward her. She suggested they showered together. She wanted James to be her first. James looked at Thea in a daze. Then, he grinned mischievously and asked, “Is that so? You better think again. I’m not forcing you.” “If you don’t want to, then so be it.” Thea blushed and made her way to the bathroom. James scratched his nose. He wanted to make a move on her. However, now was not the time. He still had business to deal with. Besides, he had not held a wedding ceremony with Thea yet. He planned to officially marry her after dealing with everything. It would be a grand wedding ceremony, the envy of all. Only then would he have his first with Thea. Thea went to shower. Soon, she was done. Wrapped in a towel, her hair was wet and water droplets were dripping from

They kissed. Then, they hugged. Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, knocks came from the door. As if they were doing something wrong, they jumped with alarm and wrung free of each other immediately. James cleared his throat. “Who is it?” He was displeased. ‘Who’s knocking on the door? How rude. I almost had it. How dare they interrupt me?’ Gladys’ voice came from the door. She shouted, “Open the door! Lex is calling for a family meeting. He’s demanding everyone joins.” “In the middle of the night? Come on!” James was displeased. Thea, on the other hand, was already dressed. She was quick. She had gotten dressed before James could even react. Blushing, she smiled at James. “M-Maybe next time…” What else could James say? Next time, then. He put on his clothes. After getting dressed, they walked out of the room. “What took you two so long?” Gladys was annoyed. Suddenly, she noticed something. She stared at Thea and saw that her cheeks were red. She underst

She asked, “Grandpa, how’s Eternality doing at the moment?” Lex raised his eyebrow and glanced at her. “What? You dare ask? You humiliated the Watsons, and now, they’re targeting us. Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals have already terminated their contracts with us. Not only that, they’re now suing us by saying there are quality concerns with our products. Eternality has been sealed off. The banks are demanding we repay our loans. All businesses under the Callahans have stopped. We now owe hundreds of millions of dollars.” Hearing this, Thea’s face darkened. She never expected the situation to be so grim. “What should we do now?” Lex looked at the crowd. They had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. For decades, Lex had strived to make the Callahans a well-to-do family. Yet, after finally accumulating billions of dollars worth of assets, they had lost everything. He was eighty years of age. He was tired. He no longer wanted to care. He had summoned ever
