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. What

Military hospital, intensive care unit.Whitney was wiping Henry’s body down.After a few days of rest, Henry had come to, albeit he was still very weak.James walked into his ward with May.Whitney stopped and greeted him, “Hey ,James.”James waved st her. When he saw that Henry had regained consciousness, he let out a relieved sigh. Henry woke up earlier than James thought he would.“James...”Henry greeted him with a feeble voice from his bed, “Sorry. I wasn’t good enough.”James sat down on the side of his bed, “It’s okay, everything’s over now. Focus on your recovery. After you get better, we can fight together again. We can create a new empire in Cansington just like we did in the battlefields of the Southern Plains.”“Yes…”Henry answered.James felt his pulse to assess his current condition.He did a series of tests before he wrote a new prescription for Henry.After that, he called Blithe King.“Blithe, I am at the military hospital right now. Come over if you have time.”Jame

Henry was the General of the Southern Plains. He, in particular, would have known how dangerous the twenty-eight-nations fighters were.He also knew how difficult it would be for James to carry his unconscious body while fending them off.“James, what are your plans after this?”James shook his hand and said, “Just rest for now. I‘ll have things for you to do after you recover.”“Okay,” Henry complied.James stayed at the hospital the whole time until the Blithe King came back.Blithe King brought an ID card with him which he handed to James, “The new identity has been set up.”James took a good look.The name on the card read May Caden.Blithe King explained, “Her background is that she’s a distant relative of the Cadens. She is a loosely related cousin of yours.”James tossed it to May as he laughed.May held the card in her hand as her heart raced with excitement.All these years, she had been a pariah in the underground world. Now with a proper identity, she can finally walk around

James was not worried about the medical conference at all. Getting the title of Asclepius was a piece of cake for him. The only thing on his mind right now was to think of a way not to stand out too much. James’ words calmed Thea down. She had pinned all of her hopes on James. If James could not help navigate the Callahans through this crisis, the family would be doomed. They would be consigned to mediocrity for the rest of their lives. Night-time came. The family was having dinner. Knock! Knock! Knock! A knock came from outside. James stood up and answered the door. Lex, Howard’s, and John’s families were standing outside. Seeing this, James frowned and asked, “What’s wrong, grandpa?” “Sigh…” Lex sighed tiredly, “We’ll talk inside.” “Please come in.” James beckoned Lex to enter the house. Seeing that the Callahans were here, Gladys’ face immediately turned sour. “Have a seat, father.” Benjamin stood up and greeted Lex. He asked, “Have you eaten yet? Sho
