Quincy did not drive off. She leaned against her seat and looked at James. She saw the frustration and helplessness on James’ face. She could not believe that the guardian of Sol and the Asclepius of Cansington would have such a soft side to him. “Why don’t you just tell Thea the whole truth? Tell her who you are, and she won’t want to divorce you anymore.” Quincy tried to console James. “I would’ve told her long ago if I could,” James said dejectedly. Then, he sighed, “Never mind, let’s just forget about this. Bring me to Sky Repair Shop in the suburbs.” “James…” “Hmm?” James looked at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?” Quincy opened and shut her mouth wordlessly. She then took a deep sigh.“I’ll help you out just this once.” “Huh?” James still had no idea what was happening. Quincy started the car and drove off in the opposite direction. “This isn’t the way to Sky Repair Shop.” “Who said we’re going there? I’m heading straight for Majestic Corporation.” “But

Quincy grabbed him and urged him on. “She’s almost here. What are you waiting for?” She pressed her body suggestively against his. James could feel the warmth of her body. He was a little nervous. Although it was merely an act to make Thea give up on him, they still needed to put on a passionate show. He was a little sheepish. Quincy, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Daring and bold, she took the reins. … Thea had put on a revealing dress for this meeting with the Black Dragon. She was recalling her mother’s advice which seemed sensible enough. On the way to Majestic Corporation, she had decided to offer herself to the Black Dragon if he so desired. She would use her body to push things along. The moment she divorced James, she would marry the Black Dragon. With Newton showing the way, she arrived outside the chairman’s office. She was brimming with hope. Outside the office, Newton explained to her, “Ms. Thea, the chairman is currently in his office

James was really grateful to Quincy. With her help, Thea would finally give up pursuing the Black Dragon romantically. That way, the possibility of Thea divorcing him would be reduced. He thought about it and believed it was not too demanding an offer. “Alright, but only for a day.” Quincy rolled her eyes and rebuked him. “Please, are you really that miserable being my boyfriend? I’m still a renowned beauty, I’ll have you know.” James smiled awkwardly.“I’m already married. How am I supposed to explain to my wife if she finds out?” “Never mind, let’s get going.” Quincy did not push the matter. She grabbed James by the arm and turned to leave. From afar, they looked intimate with one another─just like any other couple. James promised her to be her boyfriend for a day. As long as she did not cross the line, he was fine with it. Thea, on the other hand, ran out of Majestic Corporation a sobbing mess. All this while, she thought that the Black Dragon was in love with her

Gladys corrected herself. “Remember to wear more flattering clothes in the future. However, it shouldn’t be too revealing! You have to allow room for their imagination to go wild. Also, pay attention to your demeanor. Make sure that your every action and word exudes charisma. That way, you can arouse a man’s desire.” Gladys began lecturing Thea. “Your expressions play a big role too. Do you know how to put on a sexy smolder?” Thea shook her head. “Sigh… Let me demonstrate.” Gladys blinked a few times and gently bit her lips in a suggestive manner. Benjamin, who was on his phone, glanced at Gladys. Witnessing what his wife just did, he had to suppress the urge to vomit. However, upon seeing the murderous look on Gladys’ face, he immediately stood up and said, “It’s stuffy in here. I’m going to the balcony for a while.” “How is that, Thea?” Thea tried imitating Gladys. However, she felt awkward and out of place. “Mom, th-this is so embarrassing.” “Sigh…” Glady

“I don’t think so.”James shot her down immediately.He did not think that spending so much time with Quincy would be a good idea.She was attractive and sexy. Spending too much time with her would only lead to trouble.“Why? Are you afraid you’ll fall in love with me?” Quincy smiled.“Something like that,” James agreed. “Furthermore, I’m married. I’d be disrespecting you and Thea if I start anything with you. I’d be an irresponsible man.”“I don’t care. Besides that, Thea wouldn’t find out if we keep it a secret.”James shook his head firmly.He knew Quincy was probably joking.She could return and inform Thea immediately.Even though Quincy was still smiling, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.What would she not give to stay this way forever?However, James was different from the other men.He was a hero. He had principles and would not cheat.She was even more attracted to him because of that.“Quincy, why don’t you come up with an idea to help me? What s

Ronn offered James a cigarette.James accepted.“Any news about Jonathan yet?”Since Jonathan and his cronies went to so much trouble, they must have something else in mind other than attacking the Solean doctors.James still could not figure out what it was.Ronn shook his head. “We’ve been keeping tabs on Jonathan. After he left yesterday, he hasn’t appeared again.”James asked, “Did you manage to find out what their plans are?”Ronn looked somber.James glanced at him before saying, “Be honest.”Ronn said, “We obtained some information. According to our intel, Universal Hospital has set up a research lab at Lily City three months ago. Its location is hidden within a mountain, heavily guarded with trained armies round the clock. Our intelligence network could not get through either. We don’t know what they’re researching.”“A secret research lab?”James narrowed his eyes.If the lab had something to do with the medical conference, they had been planning this when they res

James asked, “What’s going on?”Ronn explained, “Sir, Jake set up the underground intelligence network. It’s complicated as it involves many different industries. The underbelly of Cansington knows that they can exchange information with money from Jake, hence the authorities have been onto him since a long time ago.“Not only is the setup illegal, but the network has also been involved in many illegal deals.“The authorities want to get rid of the network once and for all, so they’ve arranged for spies to blend in over the years. Now, I don’t even know who the spies are, so I’ve captured all of Jake’s remaining men to interrogate individually.”Ronn gave James a summary.As he spoke, he pointed to a man who was tied up.The man was in his forties. Currently, he was being strung up. He was heavily injured with multiple wounds on his body, some of which were dripping blood.He looked like he was an inch from death.“One of our men discovered that he had leaked messages secretly
