Many things were happening outside, but James was completely unaware. He simply did not bother paying attention to them.He slept well in the House of Royals.When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.It had not slept so much for a long time.Moreover, he woke up because of hunger.He would have slept longer if not for being woken up from hunger.He got dressed and went out without even shaving his beard.As soon as he walked out of the House of Royals, he saw someone waiting outside the door.It was a tall woman with long back hair dressed in a short white dress.“Xara?”James was slightly taken aback. He walked over and asked, “Why are you here?”Xara came early in the morning and waited for a long time.Hearing James’ voice, she turned around and said with a smile, “The whole world is talking about your affairs. I knew you would be in the House of Royals.”“What’s the matter? Do you need something?”“You and Thea…”James waved his hands and interrupted her. H

James knew about Cynthia’s disease.Strictly speaking, it was not a disease but a special physique. She had a pure yin body type.She had too much yin energy and insufficient yang energy, resulting in an imbalance of yin and yang in the body.Cynthia had been taking medicine that supplemented her yang energy to maintain the balance of her body. However, with increasing age, her body’s structure started to mature, and the body would release more yin energy. Therefore, when the balance within the body was completely tipped off, it would be her due date.Her condition was difficult to treat.She would have to constantly take medicine to prolong her life.It was hard for even James to completely cure her.“Cynthia, your disease is not going to be easy to cure. I’ll prescribe a formula for you first. Bring it back home and take medicine accordingly to recuperate your body. It should prolong your life for another ten years. I’ll need to study your disease for a while and see if ther

Some were even century-old shops.James and Cynthia arrived at Antique Street together.The streets were full of stalls.There were many antiques and paintings displayed on these stalls.Some customers squatted on the ground and carefully selected goods, hoping to get the best deals.“James, do you know a lot about antiques?” Cynthia asked as she followed James and observed the streets.James shook his head. “Nope.”He had been in the army for ten years. All he did was special training every day. The only thing he faced in the past was murderous weapons. Therefore, he had never come across antiques before.Cynthia smiled and explained, “There are many unethical t

“Young man, this chest isn’t an ordinary one. We keep it in a bank safe. I will have to request approval from my boss if you want to see it. However, not everyone is allowed to take a look at it. How about you leave an identity for me so I can talk to my boss about it.”Before James spoke, Cynthia interrupted, “I’m from the Dawns of the North. My father is Zane Dawn.”“Alright. I’ll inform my boss right away. The two of you can continue looking around the shop.”Afterward, the old man left.Cynthia pulled James and said, “Let’s look around for a bit, James.”“Alright.”James nodded lightly.The old man went to an office on the third floor and gently knocked on the door.“Come in.”A voice came from inside the office.The old man pushed open the door and walked inside the office. He said respectfully, “Boss, there is someone here to ask about the chest unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”“Has he finally come? It’s been so long, and I was startin

Unfortunately, it was too expensive for him.Although Thea had given him one million dollars, the jade plate cost more than three million.He carefully placed it back.However, he was incredibly nervous and cautious that he accidentally touched the cabinet and did not have a firm grip on the jade plate, resulting in it falling directly to the ground.Bang!The jade plate shattered into pieces in an instant.“This…”Benjamin was immediately dumbfounded and stood aside, staring at it blankly.Seeing this, Jasmine’s face also darkened. She reprimanded him angrily, “Sir, I already reminded you to be careful. You will have to compensate us according to the selling price if you break it.”“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to drop it.”Benjamin kept apologizing.“Is apologizing going to help? It’s worth three million and eight hundred thousand dollars. You should compensate us according to the price. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave our shop today!”Jasmine threatened him coldly an

Cynthia walked over and helped Benjamin up from the ground. “Uncle, are you alright?” she asked with concern.Benjamin was beaten until his face was black and blue, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.“No, I’m fine,” Benjamin shook his head and replied.Yuri smiled. “Since Ms. Dawn is willing to pay for him, everything is resolved.”Then, he turned to Benjamin and said, “Get lost.”“James…” Benjamin looked at James and was hesitant to speak.He wanted to say something but swallowed the words.James was no longer his son-in-law since he had already divorced Thea.James glanced at him and turned to Cynthia.“Why are you paying for him? Do you have a lot of money? The Callahans have money and don’t need your few million dollars,” said James.“James, isn’t he your…” Cynthia paused as she suddenly remembered that James had divorced Thea, and she stopped speaking.“Seeing that we used to be a family, I’ve already helped you. However, I’m not obliged to help you pay

“You’re causing trouble without reason. I'm too lazy to bother speaking with you.” James lit a cigarette and ignored Thea.At this moment, Yuri brought Benjamin over to them.“Thea, your father broke a jade plate from six hundred AD to nine hundred AD worth three million eight hundred thousand dollars. I’ll give you a discount. It’ll only be three million and five hundred thousand dollars for it. Then, you can take your father.”Thea was furious when she saw Benjamin’s bruised appearance as several muscular men dragged him. She turned around and blamed, “What are you doing, James? Since you’re here, why did you let my dad get beaten?”Thea knew James’ skills. These muscular men were no match for James at all.James was present in Sovereign Antique Shop but allowed her father to get beaten black and blue.“I’ve already taken action to stop it. He would’ve been hurt even worse if I didn't stop them,” James said indifferently.“You took action? Would my dad get beaten up to this
