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

The night slipped away quietly.The next day.James got Ronn to arrange for transport back to the city.At the Callahans’.Thea woke up early.Yesterday, she had gone to see the Black Dragon, but when she saw Quincy with him, she was sad.She felt heartbroken, but thanks to Gladys, she regained her confidence.As such, she got up early in the morning to go shopping. She bought plenty of dresses.They were revealing and not something she would have worn before.When James returned to the city, it was past ten.He passed by a florist and bought ninety-nine roses. Armed with roses, he headed toward the Callahans’.He had just arrived at the entrance of their area when he spotted two girls in the distance.“Megan, thanks for going shopping with me.” Thea’s hands were full of shopping bags.She hardly shopped, so she got Megan to help her out.Thanks to Megan’s recommendations, she bought plenty of clothes.Even the clothes she was wearing right then were something she had ju

Thea’s words cut James like a blade. He felt as if there was something lodged in his throat. It was a terrible feeling.Quincy was right.He did not have a firm relationship foundation with Thea.It was fine short term, but with time, differences and problems started to crop up.“I think it’s best we get a divorce.” Thea looked at James. Seeing his expression, she felt bad, softening her tone. “Let’s not make this ugly. Just agree to get divorced. If we take it to court, it’ll be ugly for everyone.”Just then, James thought of letting her go.The reason he approached Thea was to repay her.All he wanted was to repay Thea for saving his life and redeeming his mistake of abandoning her.However, when he thought about Thea falling in love with the Black Dragon, his other identity, his displeasure vanished. Smiling, he said, “Thea, I will not divorce you. Come on, let’s go home.”He stretched out to take her hand.Thea’s expression soured and she smacked his hand away. Coldly, sh

Once Zane regained his footing, he looked about.He did not know why James was hiding his identity from the Callahans, but he could tell that James had no standing in the family.He considered for a few seconds before approaching again. “James is my savior. Do you know who I am? I’m Zane Dawn. Maybe you don’t know me and have never heard of me, but let me introduce myself. I control all the mines in the north. My operations include hundreds of coal, gold, and diamond mines. Whatever is underground is mine.”Gladys was stunned.She did not expect the rugged, rough man to have such an impressive background.She had heard of him before.James had saved his daughter, and he persuaded the Watsons and Xenoses to let the Callahans go, allowing them a new lease of life.Her expression changed immediately, her face lighting up in a big smile. “The Mining King, yes? Please, come in.”Zane looked at James and gestured respectfully. “After you, James.”James looked admiring. Zane was a go

Thea started to hate James more and more.Every time she saw James, she could not help but compare him to the Black Dragon.They were both just so different.How could they compare?She did not understand what she saw in James before, sharing a bed with him and even almost giving herself completely to him.Megan was there as well.She was silent, observing James and Zane.Especially Zane.She came from a wealthy family and had met plenty of wealthy people.However, she did not think that this bearded man was one of them, much less someone with assets worth trillions.“James, where did you manage to find this actor? Worth trillions, is he? And he’s giving you five hundred billion dollars just like that? Who does that?” Megan looked disdainful.She knew it. James had hired an actor.“I plucked him off the streets.” James chuckled and looked at Zane, barking, “Get lost.”“No, James, you know I’m wealthy,” Zane explained hurriedly.“I said get lost.” James had a slight change

“The actor brought his A-game. The invitation card looks lavish.”The invitation card was golden and shiny, looking like it had been plated in gold.Megan picked it up.It felt heavy in her hand.As someone who came from wealth, she recognized quality. As soon as she picked the card up, she knew that the border was lined with real gold.“It’s real?” She said in surprise. “It’s real gold?”On the other hand, Gladys had taken her phone out.She searched for Zane on the Internet.Her search yielded plenty of results.There was the Mining King, the richest man in the north…There were plenty of pictures as well.“Ah…”When she saw Zane’s pictures, she yelled in surprise. “It’s him! It’s him! That was Zane Dawn, the richest man in the north! His daughter is Cynthia Dawn.”Thea was curious. She peeked.Seeing the pictures and news articles, she frowned and muttered, “Was the man really a VIP from the north and worth trillions?”Gladys was agitated. “Thea, this is our chance! W

James had relationship issues.He had never really been in a relationship before. How was he to know what to do?Quincy had a job and no time to waste with him.She hired some love analysts for him instead.James waited in his office.At the same time, Thea went to the Callahans’ villa.The whole family was there.The three generations of the family were gathered.Lex sat on the couch, puffing on his tobacco pipe. Looking at his family, he said, “Zane Dawn from the north has sent out some invitations for his daughter’s birthday party. Have you heard of him? He represents true power. The families of the Five Provinces Business Alliance can’t even begin to compare.“We’re here to discuss how we could possibly get an invitation.“Now that Thea is the genius doctor of Cansington, our status is elevated. If we manage to attend the birthday party, we’ll be even more influential in Cansington.”“Dad, this could be difficult.” Howard looked troubled. “We’re talking about Zane here.

Lex looked at Thea and said, “Thea, don’t divorce James yet. Mend your relationship now. Wait till Zane transfers his assets to James. Once he gets the money, we’ll find a way to get our hands on it, and then we’ll get rid of him.”“Sounds like a plan!” Gladys smiled. “Dad, great minds think alike indeed. James is still useful now. We have to get the five hundred billion before Thea divorces him. Why would he deserve the five hundred billion anyway?”“That’s right, Thea. We’re all depending on you now.”“Thea, why don’t you call James now?”“Just pretend to be with him for now.”“Why pretend? James is part of our family anyway.”…Everyone in the family gave their opinions.Thea had had enough.“Even if I mend my relationship with James and he gets half of Zane’s assets, it’s all mine. It has nothing to do with you at all.”Thea’s tone was icy.After that, she stood and left.“Thea…”Gladys caught up with her and grabbed her. “Where are you going?”“It’s too stuffy in her
