After discussing for more than an hour, they finally finalized their plan.The only thing that James was still worried about was Thea.May reassured him that despite the assassins being cold-blooded and ruthless, they had professional ethics—killing only those that the employers wanted dead and never involving innocent people.Major assassin organizations would blacklist those who involved innocent people while carrying out their jobs.However, this time it was not a simple case.It was possible that an assassin would attempt to harm Thea for the sake of money.“Ronald.”“I’m listening, James.”“Send a hundred people to protect Thea in secret. I don’t want anything to happen to my wife during today’s act.”“Understood.”Ronald immediately went to make arrangements.With the underground intelligence network he controlled, it was easy to find Thea’s whereabouts.A hundred experienced soldiers of the Black Dragon Army were dispatched. They dressed in plain clothes and secretly
“And who might this gorgeous woman be?” Caleb inquired. “This is my best friend, Thea,” Quincy introduced.Thea smiled at him.Caleb praised her, “You sure do live up to your name. Would you mind if I joined you two for dinner?”“Sure, have a seat.”Quincy smiled and introduced the man, “Thea, this is Caleb. When I was a child, we lived in the same neighborhood. We haven’t seen each other for many years.“Nice to meet you. My name is Thea,” Thea briefly introduced herself.Caleb also greeted them with a smile.At the table not far away, several men were also at a table eating barbecue. They began to be on guard when a stranger approached Thea. They all sighed in relief after realizing it was an acquaintance of Quincy.These men were soldiers of the Black Dragon Army sent by James to protect Thea secretly.As long as Thea was not in danger, they were not to reveal themselves.They finished their meal in no time.Outside barbecue restaurant. Caleb said smilingly, “Thank yo
The Nine Dragons Tunnel was more than ten kilometers in length, and the journey took ten minutes.There were several cars parked within the tunnel.They were a few black vehicles with fake number plates.Caleb quickly approached and stopped in front of one of the black vehicles.He got out of the car immediately.Several men dressed in black also got out of the black vehicles. These people opened the BMW and carried the two women into the black vehicles.The Black Snake also got out.“Black Snake.” Caleb walked to him.The Black Snake waved his hand. “It isn't safe for you to stay in Cansington for now. You should leave immediately. I’ve already bought you a villa in Arshenton, and there are tens of millions of cash in the safe there. It’s enough for you to get by for a while.”“Thank you!” Caleb promptly thanked him.He abandoned the BMW, got into another car, and quickly left the scene.The Black Snake also got into a car and instructed the driver, “Go.”A few minutes aft
Five Valley Mountain.Seeing James’ furious expression, Ronald could not help but comfort him, “Everything will be fine. Their target is you and they definitely won’t hurt Thea.”James already predicted that someone would outrageously kidnap Thea to threaten him in order to just kill him, regardless of ethics.He already sent 100 people to protect her in secret, but still, she got kidnapped.He had to calm down and not lose himself.The enemy’s purpose in capturing Thea was to kill him. They would not hurt Thea apart from using her to threaten him.He believed that the enemy would call him very soon.At this moment, his phone rang.This was an encrypted number.He answered the phone calmly, “Who are you?”A hoarse voice transmitted through the phone, “Black Dragon, get rid of all your people in the Mount Five Valley and surrender to us. Otherwise, you can wait to collect Thea’s corpse.”The caller quickly stated his purpose and hung up the phone.Ronald shook his head and s
The older man who spoke first was not just anybody. He was a well-known powerhouse on the assassin leaderboard.He glanced at James and sneered. He walked over, picked up the rope on the ground, and started wrapping it around himself. Soon, he had tied himself up.“Do you know how to do it now?” The older man sneered.James smiled nonchalantly.He took a few steps forward. When he advanced, the assassin in front of him would step back.Although the Black Snake had called to inform them that the Black Dragon’s wife had been captured and that he would easily surrender, this was still the Black Dragon they were facing.All the 28-nation martial arts gurus joined forces against him but were slaughtered by him.Hundreds of thousands of troops attempted to kill him but to no avail.Death would come unexpectedly if one were not careful against such a person.The old assassin quickly untied himself, took the rope, and walked toward James to tie him up.James did not resist and allo
James looked coldly at the Black Snake and said, “Let them go.”The Black Snake’s eyes stayed on James. He pointed at Thea and Quincy, who were tied up, and said with a playful smile, “I’ll only let one go. You have the final say on who that will be.”“Let Thea go.”James did not hesitate.The Black Snake gestured to his subordinates.Immediately, one of his men walked over and untied Thea’s ropes.Thea quickly got up. Her limbs were numb from being tied up for so long, and she immediately fell to the ground. She stood up again and glanced at the fully armed assassins around her, and her face went pale.Her lips trembled. “James…w-what are you doing? Let them release Quincy instead. I’ll stay with you.”Quincy, who was tied to the chair, shouted, “Thea, what are you doing? Leave quickly. Do you not want to live?”“Thea, leave!” James shouted.“I-I’m not leaving!” Thea’s face went pale with fear. She knew that she would die if she stayed behind. However, she was unwilling to l
Michenton Village, underground basement. The iron door was locked, and there were many fully armed assassins standing outside.Quincy was tied to a chair and could not move.“James, a-are you alright?”Her worried face was pale as she kept checking on James.James was bounded by ropes, and his leg was shot. Although he could control the blood flow in his body and prevent a hemorrhage, he was still bleeding a lot.Lying on the ground, he said, “I’m alright. I’m sorry I could only save Thea.”Between Quincy and Thea, he chose to save Thea.Thea had a miserable life. After being burned and disfigured, she endured the ridicule of others and lived in sorrow.He felt guilty toward Thea.Instead of giving Thea a happy life, he got her involved in this mess.He had no idea how long these days would last, nor did he know what would happen in the future.“I-I don’t blame you,” Quincy replied weakly.She took a deep breath. “I just didn’t expect you to hide it so well. Not only ar
“Oh?” Sitting on the ground, James could not help but look at the Black Snake.‘What is the Black Snake playing at?‘He wants me to be the boss of the Dark Castle?’“You want me to be the Dark Castle’s boss? Are you handing over the Dark Castle to me? Are you not afraid I’ll purge the Dark Castle after you hand it to me?”The Black Snake burst out laughing. “Haha, that won’t be a problem.” James also laughed. “Okay, I agree. Loosen the ropes.” The Black Snake motioned to his subordinates. Two men in black clothes and hoods approached and untied James.James stood up, moved around his limbs, and glanced at the Black Snack with a playful smile. “You really let me loose? You’re not afraid that I’ll suddenly attack you? You know my strength. You would not last three moves in my hands if I attacked you seriously.”The Black Snake smirked. “The entire Dark Castle belongs to you now, and I work under you. I’ve nothing to say if you want to kill me.”James was perplexed.In t
