Chapter 606
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

More than twenty love experts were present.They knew that the unassuming man in front of them was the owner of Transgenerational. He was worth trillions, powerful yet low-profile.If they made him happy, they would live easy for the rest of their lives.“Sir, please let us know your issues and we’ll come up with a plan for you.”“Alright.”James nodded and told them everything.He left nothing out.He told them everything including his resignation, marriage, and Thea’s recovery.He mentioned destroying the Xaviers, Thea being kidnapped, him saving her, and her falling in love with the other version of him.And now, Thea had fallen in love with the Black Dragon and wanted to divorce him.Thud.After James’ story, all of them fell to their knees.“General, please forgive us.”They did not expect the owner of Transgenerational to be the Black Dragon.What was more, they did not expect his wife to be in love with another version of him.It was so simple. Why did he need the

James leaned against the couch, smoking and muttering to himself.“Am I too nice to Thea? I only wanted to repay her. I listen to everything she says. So this isn’t love?”James was lost in thought.Was he in love with Thea?Or did he only want to repay her for saving his life?“What is love?”The love experts had analyzed it for him thoroughly.He felt that when he first approached Thea, he only wanted to repay her.However, after spending so much time with her, he had fallen in love with her. Losing her was losing everything.“Hey, what’s on your mind?”A voice rang out.James looked up.Quincy walked in.She was wearing a red professional dress. She crossed her arms and studied James.“N-nothing.”“It’s after work now. Want to grab food together?”Quincy smiled at James.James glanced at her before shaking his head. “I don’t think so. I have other things to do.”He knew what she was thinking.He was a married man. It was best he keep his distance from her. He was

James left Transgenerational.He went to a random food stall, ordering some food and some beer.He enjoyed his meal and beer alone.He was enjoying a rare moment of peace when his phone chimed with a message.He read the message.“Hi, it’s Zion Lloyd. Together with my wife Louisa Zahn, I’ve opened a barbeque restaurant in Old Town. It’s launching on the 2nd of September, and we’d love for you to attend! The address is Old Town, 54, Sand King Road. The name of the restaurant is Dragonair Barbecue. This is a mass message. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.”When he read the message, James was stunned.“Zion’s opened a restaurant?”Zion was his classmate and best friend in high school.He remembered that Zion was poor. When he was a young boy, his dad died in a car crash, leaving his mom to raise him.“Since it’s Zion’s place, I’ll be there,” James muttered to himself.He checked the calendar on his phone.It was the 1st today. Tomorrow, it would be the 2nd.He called Zion.
