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

James smiled.He closed his eyes and ignored Quincy.He always had a good judgment of people, but he could not see through Quincy.It was hard to read what was on her mind.Moments ago, she was trying to seduce him.Right after, she claimed not to want to steal Thea’s husband.Fortunately, he had a relatively strong endurance and was loyal to Thea. Thus, he was unwilling to mess around.Otherwise, he might not have been able to resist Quincy’s temptation and would have gone to a hotel room with her.It would be fine if she were serious. However, it would be awkward if he agreed and she was just teasing him.He was one of the Five Commanders of Sol, standing on top of the power pyramid. Now, he was the Transgenerational Group’s behind-the-scene boss. He was also Quincy’s boss. He did not want to lose face in front of her.He did not sleep the whole night. He closed his eyes, and soon the drowsiness overwhelmed him, and he fell asleep.Quincy drove to the Transgenerational

“I’m waiting for you. I called Thea and told her we’d be having a meeting tonight, so there’s no use going home so soon. Come to my place. I’m alone.” Quincy deliberately crossed her long, slender legs, showing them off.“I’m not interested.” James turned around and left.After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, “Remember to lock the door when you leave.”Quincy sat on the office chair and watched as James left. She pouted her lips and smiled. ‘Even that didn’t work? As expected of the Black Dragon, he has the ability to resist the greatest of temptations.’“James.”As soon as James left the office, he saw Scarlett.James glanced at her and said, “Who gave you permission to let Quincy enter? She’s only the vice president and isn’t allowed to enter the chairman’s office. A company must follow its rules and regulations if it wants to succeed. Do I need to teach you every simple, little thing?”Scarlett was not expecting James to scold her.“J-James, she said she was
Chapter 552
Whitney did not expect James to be so capable. He had already seen through her identity. “Tell us about it.” James looked at her.Although he suspected Whitney’s identity, he kept it a secret for a while and observed her because he was unsure of her motives for approaching Henry or himself.Now, it seemed that this woman did not have ill intentions toward Henry but rather seemed interested in him. Thus, he simply poked through her identity.“He’s my father.”Whitney did not hide it. She smiled mischievously and replied, “To be honest, I secretly snuck out from home. The Northern Border is too boring, so I came to Cansington.”Henry was stunned to learn of her identity.This woman was the daughter of one of the Five Commanders.“Not bad.”James smiled brightly and glanced at Henry. “Henry, you better seize your chances. The daughter of a commander must have countless wealthy suitors wanting to marry her.”“Cough, cough…” Henry smiled awkwardly.“Fine. I won’t tease you anymo
