James stayed in the tree, not making a move.However, he knew that the woman had failed her mission. Nothing awaited her except death.This was perfect. He could have her join him, instead.Nearby, behind a big tree.The assassin still had her hand pressed to her wound, but blood poured out regardless.She had been shot, and it had hit her artery. She did not have much time left.The masked man slowly followed her blood on the ground and arrived at the tree where the assassin was hiding behind.“You know the rules, May. A failed assassination means death, but it also depends on the circumstances. You could have lived if the enemy had not seen your face. You’ve been exposed, so according to our rules, you must die.”The assassin walked away from the tree.Her face was pale as she spoke slowly to the masked man in front of her. “All these years, I’ve done so much for the organization, but just because he saw my face, I have to die? That’s the Black Dragon we’re talking about. Th

“The Dark Castle is the most mysterious assassin organization in the world. They also specialize in training assassins,” May said.James had been in the military for ten years. He had conquered lands and lived his days by the edge of the sword, but organizations like this were something he did not know much about.This piqued his interest. “You say you were one of Dark Castle’s three SSS-ranked assassins. I don’t know what SSS means, but does this mean there are two others as strong as you are?”May nodded. “More or less.”“Who are they?”May shook her head. “I don’t know. Dark Castle has a rule where we all had to wear masks. I’ve never seen any of their faces. Dark Castle also has a rule where you have to complete your mission if you accept it. If you fail, you’ll die in most cases. However, the penalty is circumstantial. There’s also another rule where you have to die if someone sees you without your mask on.”“So, what’s next?” James asked, looking at her. “You can’t return t

Smack! Lorne slapped the underling.There were beautiful women galore, but they could not touch any of them. Things would get messy if they did.Their only targets were James, Thea, and Quincy.He would not mess with anyone else. Otherwise, not even his boss would be able to cover it up if things escalated.“Go turn the electricity back on.”“Got it.”The underling hurried off to turn the electricity back on.In Quincy's room.Lorne looked at Quincy and Thea, both on the bed. Quincy had finished her bath and was lying on the bed in a three-piece pajama set. Thea, meanwhile, was lying sideways on the bed.Lorne could not help but swallow at the sight of these two beautiful women.These two were once the school belles. Back then, he pursued them both but got rejected mercilessly. Who knew they would both fall into his hands ten years later?He walked over to them and admired their bodies.Thea was wearing normal clothes, but Quincy’s three-piece was too alluring.He to

Quincy was afraid, too.She kept moving backward and got to the edge of the bed. Then, in a moment of carelessness, she fell off the bed.Lorne walked over to her and picked her up.Quincy wanted to resist, but her body was still recovering from both the snake venom and Quentin’s drug. She was still weak and could not muster the strength to fight back.Lorne laughed. “Haha! Can you not take it anymore, Quincy? Don’t worry, I’ll make you feel good.”He tossed her onto the bed, then started taking off his clothes.After that, he glanced at Thea, who had grown pale, and smirked. “Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn soon.”…James and May arrived at the hotel.James sensed something was off the moment they neared the premises. He noticed the strangers standing guard outside.He rushed back to the hotel. As soon as he entered, he spotted people on all the major stairways.He showed no mercy and took them all out, then rushed to the second floor, defeating people along the way.When

James looked at May Argentum, his eyes filled with gratitude.She was good at reading the situation. It was an invaluable skill.“Oh right, how should we deal with Lorne and the people he brought?” James asked while looking at Quincy and Thea.“We should let the police deal with this,” Quincy answered.This was beyond a small offense, it was a felony. The police should be notified.“Yeah, I agree.” James nodded.Quincy fished out her phone to make a call to the police.James took out the smoke antidote that he looted from Lorne’s body and began administering it to the alumni.Once the alumni recovered from the smoke and learned what had happened, they all broke into disgruntled groans.Lorne’s men were all restrained by James. He let them fall to the floor and they cried out in agony from the impact. The alumni procured some rope to tie them up.When they saw Lorne, his crotch was drenched in blood, and he lay limply on the ground. All of them drew a cold breath.In the hotel lobby of

She never got a chance to thank him before he passed away.Joan Dunn was silent, too.Back when she was a delinquent, and bad at school, James was the one who inspired her to change her life.He passed away before she had the chance to meet him.The others in the crowd were also reticent.Their class monitor had been the Black Dragon all along. The man who went above and beyond for his country, and fought for her safety but died within her borders.After the memorial, everybody took turns to light their incense.The entire affair lasted until midday.On their way back, James held Thea and spoke to her sweetly, “Darling, the mountain roads are harder to walk on, be careful. Would you like me to carry you?”“N-no.” Thea blushed. There were so many people around them, how could she say yes?Quincy felt a twinge of jealousy watching them.She was jealous of Thea for having a loyal husband that was always beside her.The crew made it back to the villa.Thea wanted to have lunch at the villa

Thea was reminded of yesterday’s incident when James brought up the one million dollars.Yesterday, at the Dragon Fountain Villa, James transferred three million to Lorne and received it back.She wanted to ask about it last night, but too much had happened in one day, so she lost her opportunity to ask about it.“James, how did you get all this money?” Thea looked at James seriously.“I…”James scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. “Us men will always keep some extra cash on the side just in case. This is some money I transferred out from my card last time since I had a feeling you might use up all the money on it. I wanted to have some backup for our necessities…”Hearing this, Thea fell silent.It was due to her incompetence that she lost all of James’ 200 million dollars.Gladys was distraught.Her own family was struggling right now, and here James was using his own money to help Lex.“Grandpa, may I have your card number?”James looked at Lex.Lex never expected the day when h

Thea curled into James’s arms and cried her heart out.James cradled her and comforted her gently.When Thea finally stopped crying, she asked, “Darling, the Callahans are all but destroyed now. How do you plan to get us out of this and even more, build us up again?”James answered, “I don’t know how but I’ll find a way soon, I promise. They’ll just have to cope with this ordeal for now. It wouldn’t be bad for them to learn how to swallow their pride as well.”“Hmm…”Thea had no other choice at this point but to blindly trust in James.James had always managed to pull through whenever he helped her through several difficult times. Eventually, James got up, “Right, I have to go out for a while.”“Okay,” Thea nodded.She did not ask why.James walked out of the room and informed Gladys and Benjamin before he left the house.He drove to Common Clinic.At the same time, in the Vice Director’s office on the top floor of the Transgenerational Tower.Quincy was dressed professionally – a pea
