James scratched his nose casually. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Who the hell are you?”Quincy questioned him again.What happened just now completely changed what she had thought of James.No one would have imagined a man who was willing to marry into the Callahan family, was the hidden boss behind Transgenerational Group. A man who was capable of buying the company in the first place and giving out such a sum of money to start a business empire on a whim.‘How rich is this man?’Quincy could not even begin to imagine.James simply smiled and answered. “I am just James. The guy who married into the Callahan family, Thea Callahan’s husband.”“No…” Quincy resisted, “You’re the Black Dragon, you’re that James Caden.”James corrected her like he was speaking to a petulant child. “Again, Black Dragon is dead. Are we going to talk about anything else? If not, I need to leave now.”James prepared to walk out.“Hold on.”Quincy yelled.James looked at her, smiling mischievously. “Ar

How many people have sacrificed their lives for money since the beginning of time? How was James refusing his offer of ten billion dollars?“Does he have so much integrity that he’s indifferent to fame and fortune?”He muttered to himself.James left Transgenerational. He did not go home. Instead, he visited Henry at the military hospital.Luther left as well.Somewhere in a villa, Cansington.“Miss, he turned it down.”“What? He turned it down?” Cynthia was shocked, her voice reaching 80 decibels. “Ten billion dollars and he turned it down just like that?”“Exactly. I was thinking about it. We’re talking about ten billion dollars here. With his job at Transgenerational Group, his basic salary is a mere five thousand dollars. Coupled with a commission, he could earn a maximum of twenty thousand dollars monthly. Now that the Callahans are bankrupt, he needs the money. Why would he turn it down?”Luther could not fathom it either.“Miss, do you think he doesn’t care about fame

James reached home.Lex and everyone else had finally left.Thea, on the other hand, had changed into a form-fitting dress. She had some light makeup on and even styled her hair. Her usual straight hair was now in curls and waves.She was wearing a v-neck white dress. A delicate chain hung from her neck.It complemented the smooth column of her fair neck well. James could not look away.James looked at Thea, unable to stop himself from asking, “Are you going out, darling?”Thea nodded. “Yes, Xara wants to buy me a meal. Since she’s helped us so much, it’s only right to thank her in person.”James had not eaten yet, so he smiled and asked, “Can I come along?”“Why not?”Thea agreed.“Alright then.”Since James got home, he had not even gotten a chance to sit down before he had to leave again.Both of them left the house together.James drove, leaving their area.“Darling, where are we going?”Thea said, “Joy Hotel.”“Alright.”James tapped to open his navigation app and

Sean did not stop at introducing himself, even giving her a rundown of his family history.Xara was unimpressed.Francis smiled, saying, “Bro, she’s Xara Hill, my girlfriend.”Xara’s face darkened. “Get over yourself, Francis. No one’s your girlfriend here.”“You might not be my girlfriend now, but one day you will be.” Francis was shameless. He said breezily, “Sooner or later, you’ll be my girlfriend.”“Yo, isn’t this Thea Callahan?”Spotting Thea, Sean’s eyes lit up.For a short while, Thea had been famous in Cansington.First, she was known as the most beautiful woman in Cansington. Then, everyone mocked her for having a useless husband. After that, she got engaged to Zavier Watson but broke it off. As a result, the Watsons took revenge on her family and caused them to go bankrupt. Now, they were nobodies.Sean’s gaze lingered on Thea, giving her a slow once-over. He looked satisfied.“Thea, I’ve heard that your family has gone bankrupt. You have a lot of debt to pay. Why

Dominic looked at the security guards sprawled on the floor. He was furious. “You brat. You’re dead. No matter where you’re from, you’re dead as soon as you cause trouble at Joy Hotel.”With that, he made a call.“Boss, someone is causing trouble at the hotel. It’s James Caden, the son-in-law of the Callahans.”As it was peak hour then, the hotel was full of diners.With the sudden commotion, all of them fled, worried they would get into trouble too.Only a few of the braver ones lingered to watch from a distance.Some of them even recorded the incident with their phones.Thea looked helpless and hopeless.James was a great guy but he loved violence a little too much.She knew he was protecting her, but beating people up was not the way. It even got her family into trouble.If James had not acted at the Watsons’, her family would not be in this situation.On the other hand, Xara looked completely relaxed.She knew that James was the Black Dragon.Even though he had resigne

“Cynthia…”“I don’t care. I don’t care!” Cynthia started to wail.“Alright, let’s go down and take a look.”…On the first floor.James looked at Sean, Francis, and the hotel manager Dominic. He said, “I’m looking forward to seeing how you finish me off.”“I’m sorry.”Thea stepped forward, an apologetic look on her face. She bowed deeply and apologized. “Mr. Leland, Mr. Bertrand, I’m sorry. Please accept my apology on behalf of James.”“Darling, what are you doing?” James yanked Thea back, an annoyed look on his face. “Why are you apologizing? It’s them who should be sorry.”Sean said coldly, “Did you think an apology would be enough, Thea? Let me tell you. This isn’t over. I will not rest until James is dead.”Just then, a group of people walked down the stairs.Dominic hurried over to Zack at once, pointing at the security guards on the floor and then at James. “It’s him, boss. The son-in-law of the Callahans, James.”Thea’s face changed again as she saw who approached.

Everyone at Joy Hotel was on the ground, moaning in pain.Zane, Cynthia, and Luther were the only ones left standing.“Impressive.”Luther took a deep breath.“I’ve heard so many things about the Black Dragon. He lives up to his reputation indeed.”“I know,” Zane said. “That was very impressive. The Black Dragon’s strength is unparalleled and his medical skills are second to none.”“Dad.” Cynthia looked at Zane with wide eyes.Zane looked resigned. “He’s the Black Dragon. What can I do? Come on, let’s go home.”Outside the hotel.Thea refused to leave.She knew what James was capable of. None of them would be a match for him. She was worried that he would cause more trouble for her family.Just as she was wringing her hands, James walked out.A cigarette hung from his mouth. With his hands in his pockets, he looked completely relaxed.“Honey…” Thea rushed over, asking worriedly, “Are you alright?”James smiled. “Did you think anything would happen to me? Let’s go home.”

James stood.As he stood up, the policemen backed away involuntarily.Before making the trip, they had seen him in action. He was a ruthless, dangerous man.James put out his arms.A few policemen approached him with handcuffs, cuffing his hands together.“Take him away.”James was taken away.Thea started crying.When she saw the police, she was shocked. Then she realized that James must have beaten someone up at the hotel.“Honey…”She looked at James, who was now in handcuffs. Her eyes welled with tears.James stopped and looked at her. He smiled. “Don’t worry. Go to Common Clinic tomorrow morning and look for May. There’s a sword hidden beneath the bed in a secret compartment. Get May to bring the sword to the police station.”James left after that.“Boo hoo…”Thea cried her heart out.At the police station.In the interrogation room.James was cuffed. There were two police in front of him.One of them was male, the other female.They looked relatively young, pro
