The Black Snake did not dare to move with a gun against his head.Although he ranked second on the assassins' leaderboard, all the top assassins were present, and none were inferior to him in a duel.“What do you mean by this, Black Dragon? I have been honest with you and even gave you the Dark Castle, but you’re turning against me?” The Black Snake said with a sullen expression.James stood up and said calmly, “I don’t trust you. You’re hiding too much from me. Plus, you’re shrewd and scheming. From the moment you came to Cansington, you’ve been plotting against me and wanted to use me?”“Never.“I’m serious. I just want to save my boss. He saved my life. I would’ve died a long time ago if not for Blake. I would do anything to save him,” the Black Snake shouted.“Kill him.”James ordered.He turned around and immediately walked toward the door.At this moment, the Black Snake was frightened. He was ranked second on the assassin leaderboard. Since his debut, he had never bee
The Emperor saw the Black Dragon standing in front of the house through the mini camera and he roared, “D*mn it, Black Snake! How dare you play tricks on me?”“What should I do?” the man leading the team whispered.However, at this moment, another group of people rushed toward them from a distance. “Put down your weapons and get on the ground!”A loud shout resounded.The hundreds of people turned around and saw that they were surrounded by armed forces. Their expression changed immediately. These were the one thousand soldiers from the Black Dragon Army that James had brought from the Southern Plains.Last night, he contacted Ronald to bring the team to lurk and wait for movements.Ronald walked toward James and called, “James.”“Good job.”James nodded lightly.The Emperor watched the scene from a secret room in Cansington. He took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down. Then, he instructed, “This is the Black Dragon Army that James brought from the Southern Plains
James arrived in Cansington very soon. After arriving, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he brought the recruited assassins to the repair shop in the suburbs and to the headquarters of the underground intelligence network. Repair shop, secret underground basement.James sat on the sofa.The assassins he recruited stood aside. James’ gaze swept over them one by one. Number three on the assassin leaderboard, Little Sis. Number four on the assassin leaderboard, Wanderer. Number five on the assassin leaderboard, Midnight Wind.Number six on the assassin leaderboard, Savage.Number seven on the assassin leaderboard, Grim Reaper. Number nine on the assassin leaderboard, Scorpion.Number ten on the assassin leaderboard, Death Dance.Apart from the deceased Black Snake and the first on the assassin leaderboard, the Assassin King, James had recruited almost all of the top ten assassins.“Black Dragon, you promised to give us ten billion dollars.” The Wanderer ran
James ordered again, “Observe the Sovereign Antique Shop on Antique Street. See if there is any news about a box unearthed from the Prince of Orchid Mountain's ancient tomb from the Southern Plains. Notify me immediately if there is anything.”“Understood.”“By the way, check the backgrounds of those assassins. Bring their families to Cansington if possible. Also, buy them houses and find jobs for them. The assassins will be obedient if their families are in Cansington.”“Understood.”Ronald nodded.After James had made arrangements, he got up and left.After walking out of the repair shop, a jeep drove by, and the car’s window rolled down. The Blithe King showed his face and waved at James.James walked over, opened the door, and got in the car.The Blithe King took out a cigarette and handed it over. Then, he asked, “Did anything happen last night?”James took the cigarette and smiled. “Do you think I’ll still be here if something had happened?”“The Red Flame Army was disp
Thea did not sleep the whole night.Quincy stayed with her throughout the night.After dawn, she kept calling James.However, James' phone was turned off, and she could not get through, no matter how many times she called.“It’s already ten o’clock. Why haven’t you come home yet?”Thea paced around the room anxiously.“Don’t worry, Thea. James will be fine.”Quincy had complete faith in James because he was the Black Dragon. He was able to beat the 28-nation martial arts gurus and a hundred thousand troops. A few assassins were nothing to him.“Then, why is his phone still turned off?” Thea sat down anxiously and took Quincy’s hand.“Quincy, let’s go to the police,” said Thea.Quincy was speechless.‘Call the police?‘Is calling the police going to be of any use?’Although she did not know who captured them and James last night, she could tell from the conversation between James and the Black Snake that it was not something the police could intervene in.When she came bac
“I really have nothing to do with the Black Dragon. I simply saved him ten years ago. Now that he is dead, why are they still troubling me?”James shrugged. “How would I know? By the way, I haven’t had anything to eat since last night. I’m starving!”“Let’s go out to eat.” Thea grabbed James’ hands.James glanced at Quincy and asked with a smile, “Quincy, you’re the vice president of the Transgenerational Group and must have a lot to do. It’s already ten in the morning. Do you not have to leave for work?”Quincy immediately understood James’ intentions.He did not want her to follow them.She pouted her lips and smiled. “I’ve already asked for a leave and won’t have to go to the company today. I also haven’t had anything to eat yet. Let’s go together.”“Quincy, thank you for coming to accompany me last night. Otherwise, I really don’t know what I would’ve done without you. I’ll treat you to this meal!” Thea held Quincy’s hand.Quincy glanced at James with a triumphant expressio
Seeing Thea’s shocked face, Quincy pouted and smiled.“I’m just kidding. He is a person that lacks ambition, and I don’t like that. I like myself a man who is capable!”Thea sighed in relief. She thought Quincy was really interested in James.“Quincy, you almost scared me to death. You shouldn't spout such nonsense, especially in front of him. Otherwise, he will think he is someone again and feel overly proud.”“Alright, I know.” Quincy pouted and chuckled.They finished their meal quickly.After dinner.Outside the restaurant. Quincy held Thea’s hand and said, “Thea, you head back first. I’ll go to the company with James.”James was troubled. He never said he was going to the company.“Quincy, Ms. Xenos, my position is different from yours. You’re a high-ranking superior in the company, but I’m just a small salesman. I don’t need to report to the company every day. My job is to get deals outside.”“I know. Although you don’t have to go every day, there is a meeting in th
Quincy looked at him disdainfully.She would have been respectful with James was merely her boss.However, apart from being her boss, he also had another identity—her first boyfriend.“James, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”Quincy turned to James.James felt guilty but pretended to be calm. “Explain? Explain what? Have you seen a boss explaining something to an employee before?”“James, don’t brush it off. What exactly happened?”“What do you mean what happened? Don’t you need to go to the company? Hurry up. I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep in the office.”Quincy asked, “Why did you approach Thea? Not only did you marry into the Callahans, but you have also been secretly helping her but refuse to let her know about it. Also, what happened on Mount Thunder Pass? You’re alive and well, but the news is that you died. The whole nation grieved over you. I was depressed for a while to find out you were dead.“You’re obviously alive, so why didn’t you come back to look for me? D
