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
Jake was in charge of the underground information network.This was why he was so significant to James.He had to take control of Jake, and have Jake work for him.Without Jake, he would have nothing to work with, and he would require a great deal more caution in his planning.“Yes, sir.”Ronn made a phone call, “Inform the boys to get prepared, mission incoming.”“James, do you need me?” May asked.James shook his hand and said, “No. You’re injured, just rest up.”“But…” May had something on her mind.James looked at her, “Are there any other problems?”May answered, “It’s just that I’m technically a pariah. I don’t have any identity, so it’ll be hard for me to move around in the city. Could you get me a legitimate identity?”“No problem.”James nodded as he walked out with Ronn.Ronn drove them to the repair factory that Jake was at.“Boss, how is General Black Shadow?”“He should be fine.”It had been two days since James last visited Henry. He assumed Henry was fine since there wer
James reached around his back and retrieved a needle. With a swipe of his hand, the needle flew through the air at a high speed.“Agh!”The man was hit by the needle, causing his gun to fall to the floor.“Boss, our men have arrived,” Ronn said.“Mhm.”James nodded and said, “Pass the order. We’re going to surround the factory, nobody can leave. The rest of the men will follow me into the factory.”Ronn relayed the order instantly.At the same time, outside the factory.Hundreds of vans lined up in an orderly manner. Armed men in black suits emerged from the vans. The men swiftly moved to every exit of the factory, while some of them entered the building.“Boss!”A few hundred men assembled themselves into neat rows, stood upright, and responded in sync.The factory men were shocked by this scene.James led the way forward, leading the huge group of men.He knew his way around the place. With ease, he located a hidden door.Before James gave his order, the men behind him raised their g
At the repair factory in the suburbs.Jay was about to pull up in front of the factory with a large number of men.“Hold up…”Just when they were about to arrive, he suddenly requested the driver to stop.He fished out his phone and ordered, “Go get a handle on the current situation of the factory.”A man stepped down from the car behind him.It was not long before the man returned and delivered his report. “Boss, there are people inside and outside of the factory. Every single one of them is armed.”“What?” Jay exclaimed, “Full armor?”“Yes, it seems like they are part of a trained militia.”“Sh*t…”Frustrated, Jay punched the car.His subordinate asked, “Boss, what do we do?”Jay took a deep breath, trying to calm down. After a moment of deliberation, he gave a command, “Stay calm, pass the order for everyone to retreat.”“Understood.”Jay eyed the factory ahead of him and sank into deep thought.He did not expect James would actually bring a whole army with him.He specialized in in
Jake came to his senses, and spoke, “James, this is too excessive. Do you seriously think you’ll survive even if you have this underground intelligence network? Do you know how many important people want you dead? You’re going to wind up dead, either way.” “You don’t have to worry about that.”James stared at him.“I’ll count to three. If you refuse, it’ll take it as your final decision.”“One.”“Two.”“Three.”“Okay, I’ll promise you.”Jake finally gave in as soon as James reached the last number.Jake was surrounded by the infamous Black Dragon Army. There was nothing he could do except yield to James’ demands.His only other option was a bullet in his brain.James smirked.Everything was going on as he planned.“I’ve gotten rid of all of your useless garbage here. I’ll deploy a thousand men from the Southern Plains for you.”Jake drew in a sharp breath.These were indeed men from the Black Dragon Army, he was right.“Jake, as it stands your current network isn’t strong enough.
