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
Eternality still had a value worth several hundred million dollars.However, the Callahans owed hundreds of millions of dollars, and selling off the company would merely be enough to repay the debts.Bankruptcy and becoming an ordinary household were inevitable.“Honey, do you really have a way to attract investments?”Thea glanced at James doubtfully.James nodded lightly.Attracting investments was a cinch for him.James felt sympathy for Lex and could not bear to see his lifetime effort go down the drain like this.Lex was stubborn because of his obsession.It was his dream to lead the Callahans into glory.In order to achieve his dreams, he was still struggling at such old age when he should be enjoying the rest of his life. Instead, he was still working hard for the family.Additionally, he had a bottom line for doing things.Otherwise, there would be no such thing as household rules enforcing the family members to use down-to-earth methods and not dirty tricks in busi
Inside the ward, Alyssa was bawling her eyes out.David tried to comfort her, “Babe, why are you crying? Let’s look on the bright side. It’s already a miracle that I survived. ”After going through life and death, David reflected on himself and said remorsefully, “It’s my fault, and I can only blame myself for it.”He glanced at James while speaking with gratitude on his face.“J-James, I’m really grateful to you this time. I would be dead in the morgue right now if it weren’t for you.”James was delighted to hear David finally address him by his name, and he subconsciously straightened his body.‘After going through that experience, this kid finally reflected on himself,’ thought James.“Move aside. Let me check on him.”James walked toward the hospital bed.Alyssa stood up immediately with a face covered in tears.James examined David’s legs and hands, then his whole body.David just had surgery, and as the doctor said, whether he could recover and get out of bed to walk i
Henry’s condition had already stabilized.Now, everything was up to his body to heal itself.The human body was very complex and had an exceptional function—self-healing.In theory, no matter how severe the injuries sustained, the body would repair itself.However, there was also a limit, and exceeding this limit would cause the body’s self-healing ability to be lost.Knowledge about this aspect was recorded in the medical book that James had obtained. The body’s self-repairing ability could be accelerated with medicine to stimulate the body’s various organs, cells, and blood.“J-James, is Henry alright? He will wake up, right?” Whitney eagerly looked at James.“He’ll be alright. He can’t die even if he wanted to with me here, so don’t worry.” James nodded.Whitney was relieved to hear James’ words.After James had prescribed the formula, he stayed in the hospital to accompany Henry for a long time.Near lunchtime, James instructed the doctor to pay close attention to Henry’s
The Black Dragon Army obeyed only the Black Dragon. After the previous Black Dragon died, the Black Dragon Army remained without a commander until James’ achievements allowed him to rise and claim the position as the new commander.The Emperor approached, sat on the sofa, and crossed his legs. He glanced at the Blithe King with a dim expression but said with a smile, “Why not? Does the Blithe King not welcome me?”“Not at all…”The Blithe King’s expression softened, and he asked with a smile, “You’re in charge of countless things and must be busy. I was curious why you would leave the Capital and come to Cansington.”The Emperor replied with a smile, “Well, Cansington’s medical conference is happening very soon, and since the borders are peaceful now, I’ve given myself a two-week vacation. I wanted to visit Cansington and see Sol’s grand annual event. Also, I wanted to meet a few old friends while I’m here.”Although the Emperor said so, the Blithe King knew he was not in Cansin
James returned home.At the same time, in a private room of a newly opened restaurant on the Transgenerational New City food street.Quincy glanced at Thea and asked, “What happened last night, Thea? Why did Gavin suddenly die? How come Zavier got beaten up to the point of being hospitalized? I inquired about it and heard that all his bones had been broken. Plus, his manhood…Quincy paused momentarily and whispered, “He’s no longer capable of reproduction.”“Huh? Is this real? Who did you hear it from? Is the news accurate?” Thea was stunned and asked. “It’s definitely accurate. Someone from the Watsons spread it.”“I-I don’t know.”Thea was slightly puzzled.She knew James beat up Zavier during the day but was unsure what happened to him at night.All she knew was that James made a report, and the Blithe King sent troops. Afterward, Gavin resisted the arrest and was shot to death.“Don’t lie to me, Thea. I heard the Watsons sent people to kidnap you and David. Even the mili
“Just tell me if there’s anything. You don’t need to keep hesitating.”“We’re going to stay in Dragon Fountain Villa for one night. Tomorrow…we’re going to erect a monument for the Black Dragon in the suburbs to send him off on his final journey.”“Pfft!”James was drinking water. Upon hearing this, he spat out the water and burst out laughing. “Erect a monument for the Black Dragon? Who came up with the crazy idea?”“Q-Quincy.” Thea was slightly awkward because she was afraid James would be angry. “I-It’s because the Black Dragon was Quincy’s boyfriend ten years ago,” she hurriedly explained.James touched his chin.‘They want to erect a monument for me?‘I’m not dead yet, though,’ thought James.However, he let it slide.“Alright, go ahead.”“I want to bring you with me.”“Sure,” James agreed. Thea was eye-catching, and it would not be safe for her to go out alone. He was uneasy, so it would be best for him to accompany her.The two had lunch at home and headed out af
Dragon Fountain Villa was a famous leisure villa in Cansington.It was located on Mount Dragon Fountain in Cansington. On this mountain was a natural hot spring, a popular spot for the rich.Quincy spent millions to book out the entire venue to organize this party. She paid a lot to invite the most sought-after celebrity, Kian, to perform at the party.After hearing that the party included free food, accommodation, and the luxury of listening to a top celebrity sing, the former students of the second class enthusiastically showed up.Those less well-off came to leech off food and drinks.Those doing well wanted to take the opportunity to show off their success and wealth to their former classmates.The classmates of the first class attended after learning that they were going to erect a monument for the Black Dragon, James, who was in their class.James and Thea departed relatively late.By the time they arrived at Dragon Fountain Villa, it was already four in the afternoon.M
