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.

“Zion! What are you doing? There’s still so much to do, you lazy *ss!”Someone shouted at Zion.A woman in a garish dress and heavy makeup walked up to them. When she saw Zion hanging out with James, she frowned. “Zion, how dare you! Mixing around with shady people now, are you?”“James, I’d better get going. Please make yourself at home.”Zion left apologetically.James frowned.Louisa looked at James disdainfully. After that, she put on her brightest smile and approached a middle-aged man. She curled her hand around his arm intimately. “You’re early, Mr. Williams.”The man smacked Louisa on her rump. “It’s your grand opening. Of course I'll be early!”“Thanks, Mr. Williams. We’re counting on you now!”“Of course, of course!”James frowned when he saw this.He knew who Louisa was. She was his classmate.Even when they were in school, she was constantly fawning over boys, often getting mixed up with bad company.He did not know how Zion came to marry her, but based on thei

Thea had been trending for the past two days.Plenty of paparazzi followed her around, all of them hoping to get the scoop on her love life.Yesterday, when James brought Thea flowers yet she said she wanted a divorce, the paparazzi had managed to capture it and spread it all over the Internet.Now, everyone who was constantly on their phones knew.Only James was unaware.Zion was unhappy that Louisa had said all those things about his friend, but he dared not get angry. Instead, he said softly, “Louisa, be nice. When I was at Dragon Fountain Villa, he helped me.”“How dare you bring this up again?”Louisa pulled Zion’s ear, saying viciously, “You’re lucky I wasn’t there. Otherwise, I’d be embarrassed to death by you. Look at the company you keep. Get back to work!”“Okay.”Zion shut his mouth and slipped away.“James, it looks like your friend has no standing at home.” Zane smiled.James glared at him.Zane’s smile froze and he shut his mouth.“Oh.” James looked at Zane,

“Watch your mouth, b*tch. I’m here to show some support. How dare you call me trash? How high-end do you think your shop is? It’s nothing out of the ordinary.”“Since we’re not welcome here, we’ll leave.”“Zion, it’s not that we don’t want to be here. Your wife is horrible.”All the workers were angry.Zion apologized. “I’m sorry, everyone. I’m sorry. I apologize on behalf of Louisa.”“Zion, you piece of trash. Why are you apologizing? Even though our shop isn’t too high-end, we still couldn’t allow any Tom, Dick, or Harry to enter. Get them out of here!”Just then, a man in a suit and tie approached. Louisa put on her best smile.“Mr. Zackson! Please, come in!”She warmly greeted him.Zion’s expression was ugly.He looked at his friends, wanting to explain.However, all of them ignored him, turning to leave instead.“Ay.”Zion sighed in resignation.James saw the whole thing.He shook his head slightly.He looked at the time. It was almost time to eat.“Zion.”He cal

Some of the workers unloaded the boxes.After Luther finished reading the list, he looked at a petrified Zion. Smiling, he asked, “Mr. Lloyd, where should I place the presents?”“Huh?”Zion came to his senses. Quickly, he said, “Br-bring them in.”Luther said, “Bring them in.”Louisa caught on, leading the way. “This way, please.”Zion followed them.At the entrance.Respectfully, Luther said, “Sir, Mr. Caden, is there anything else? Otherwise, I’ll be returning.”Zane looked at James.James waved a hand. “There’s nothing else. Go on.”“Sir.”Luther looked at Zane, hesitating for a moment. “Sir, everything’s ready for Cynthia. Many VIPs have arrived.”Zane waved a hand. “Cancel it.”“Cancel it?” Luther looked helpless and troubled. “Sir, it’s easy for you to say. What should I tell Cynthia?”Zane thought about it. He had an idea. “Here’s what you’ll do. Get everyone who’s at the party to come here. We’ll have the party here.”Zane looked at James as he said it.“James,

“Of course. Who else would give you such lavish presents?” The man smacked Louisa on her rump.“Stop, there are so many people. My husband’s here too.”Zion clenched his fists when Leonardo was talking, his veins popping, but he relaxed after that.Louisa, her arm still linked with the man’s, walked into the shop.James pulled Zion aside, asking, “Zion, what’s going on? Why did you marry her?”“James, don’t.” Zion looked troubled.“Tell me.”James’ expression darkened.Many people had arrived this morning.All of them were far too close to Louisa.“James, don’t ask.” Zion still looked troubled.“Zion, if you think of me as a friend, tell me.”Thinking about how James helped him at Dragon Fountain Villa, Zion hesitated before pulling James aside. Softly, he said, “I-I married Louisa a year ago. She came to me and told me she liked me. She even asked if I would marry her and was willing to forgo wedding presents.“I was almost thirty, and no woman had liked me because I was

The Black Dragon was Sol’s God of War. He was the religion of every soldier.He was a myth and legend to all men in Sol.Zion was not exempt. He idolized the Black Dragon so much. When he found out that the Black Dragon was his classmate and best friend from 10 years ago, he stood a little taller and walked a little straighter.However, he did not expect that James who helped him at Dragon Fountain Villa was the Black Dragon James Caden, his classmate.“J-James…”Zion looked at James with gratitude.James clapped him on the back. “I don’t want to see you waste your life away. A man should stand tall and proud, not live in the shadow of a woman. You’ll have sufficient funds to settle down with a nice woman.”“Alright.”Zion nodded firmly.He had had enough of this life anyway.He and Louisa were husband and wife, but in a year, he had only touched her once.On the other hand, Louisa was always out and about.Every time she returned, she was drunk.He even found hickeys on h

Everyone was confused.They all looked at Zion.Before Leonardo could say anything, Louisa’s expression soured. She let go of Leonardo, slapping Zion across the face.Smack!The slap was loud and clear.It left a mark on Zion’s face.“Zion, are you crazy? This is Mr. Logan. You should be on your knees apologizing to him!”After that, she turned to look at Leonardo apologetically. “I’m so sorry, Leonardo. It’s my fault. I failed to keep him in line. He’ll get it when we get home.”“Hmph.”Leonardo hmphed coldly.Louisa hit Zion. To add salt to injury, she insulted him in public. He was furious.“Who knew that Zion would have no standing at all?”“Exactly. Louisa slapped him just like that, and even said that he’d get it at home.”“She’s so beautiful. Why did she marry him?”“I heard that Louisa was a call girl. After she earned enough, she was just looking for an honest man to take her in.”“Do you think she let Zion touch her after they got married?”Everyone started wh
