“Really?” Cynthia was surprised.Bobby shook his head and said, “How would I know? It’s just a family myth. In ancient times, there were rumors of emperors searching the seas to search for immortal medicine and even offering sacrifices to the heavens to obtain immortality. The topic of immortality in Sol is endless.”Speaking of this, Bobby snorted coldly.“Why am I even sharing this with you guys?”Bobby sealed his lips and said no more.Meanwhile, James was deep in thought.He contemplated whether the Emperor and Bobby were telling the truth.The atmosphere grew tense once again.Time passed minute by minute.More than half a day had passed in the blink of an eye.At this moment, Bobby’s phone rang, and he answered the call.“We’ve retrieved the chest.”Bobby did not reply. He simply hung up the phone, stood up, and left.James stood up and blocked him. “You’ve got what you wanted. Let Thea go. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave this place today.”“You piece of trash, do

James left the Emperor's Mansion.As soon as he left, he took out his phone and called Ronald.“Find out Thea’s whereabouts immediately. I’m coming back right now.”After giving the order, James hung up the phone and boarded Zane’s private plane back to Cansington.He returned very quickly. In less than two hours, he was in Cansington. It was before sunset.After getting off the plane, he called Ronald again.“Have you found her?”Ronald’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “Boss, I haven’t found her yet. Give me a little more time.”“Do it fast.”James took a deep breath.Cynthia tugged his hand and whispered, “Don’t worry, James. Everything should be fine.”“I hope it’s fine.”James was gloomy and said coldly, “I’ll send Bobby to his death if something happens to her.”James knew it was useless to panic, so he could only wait patiently.Time ticked by.An hour passed in a blink of an eye.That hour felt like a century to James.Suddenly, his phone rang.

Her eyes were initially blindfolded, and her vision was dark. No matter how much she shouted for help, she heard no one.In despair and helplessness, the cloth covering her eyes was taken off.Then, a handsome face appeared in front of her.A caring voice sounded, “It’s alright. I’ll bring you to the hospital immediately.”“I’m over here, beauty!”Bobby walked over and said as he glanced at James, “Who is this person? He seemed very hostile toward me. I just happened to be in the suburbs and saw people sneaking around. That’s how I found and saved you.”“T-Thank you!”Thea wanted to get up, but the wound on her face stretched as soon as she moved, making her cry out in pain.“I’ve bandaged the wound. Don’t move around,” The doctor immediately advised her.Thea stopped moving.“Since you’re alright, I’ll take my leave.”Bobby turned around and was about to leave.“Wait, handsome young man!” Thea called out to him.“Thea, he’s the one who kidnapped you,” James said coldly.

While Bobby comforted Thea, he turned to James and smiled playfully. James walked over, clenched his fist, and swung it at Bobby.“Ouch! That hurt!”Bobby covered the spot where he was hit and screamed desolately.Thea cursed furiously, “You useless piece of trash, James! What are you doing? Get out of here! I don’t want to see you!”“You better be careful. Don’t be deceived and think you’re just lucky. Not everyone who treats you well is genuine.”James left a reminder and did not say anything more. He turned around and left the ward.He knew it was useless to say more since he had no place in Thea’s heart.After he left, Bobby stood up with a pained expression. He said with dissatisfaction, “Who is this person? Why is he so overbearing?”Thea, who was lying on the hospital bed, said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. That was my ex-husband.”“Ex-husband? No wonder.” Bobby acted as if he just came to a realization.Outside the ward.James sat on a chair in th

Before he could fall asleep, his phone rang.He rolled off the sofa and got up again. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Henry calling him.“What’s wrong, Henry?” He asked as soon as he answered the phone.“James, something bad just happened,” Henry’s anxious voice sounded through the phone.“Huh?”James was stunned for a moment. Then, he hurriedly asked, “Something bad happened? What exactly happened?” Henry explained anxiously, “Last night, a tourist bus from a foreign country was hijacked near the Southern Plains City. A few important national personnel were on the bus. The incident has caused an uproar. The countries around the Southern Plain borders are asking Sol for a statement.”“It’s not a big deal. They just have to find them, right? I’m so sleepy. I’m going to sleep for a bit more,” James yawned and replied indifferently.“Wait, James! They found the people, but they were all dead bodies. Now the twenty-eight countries near the Southern Plain borders have se

Thea’s injury was not serious. After it was bandaged, she only needed to be observed in the hospital overnight and could then be discharged.Bobby personally sent her home.At the Callahans’ house.Gladys asked worriedly, “What happened to you, Thea? How did you become like this in just one night?”“I’m alright, mom.”“Who is this young man?” Gladys’ eyes were fixated on Bobby. Seeing that he was young and handsome, she quickly pulled at Thea and whispered.“Hello, Ms. Hill. My name is Bobby Caden.“I’m from the Cadens from the Capital. My family has countless businesses, and our total assets add up to more than trillions of dollars. The Legionist Group is one of the companies under our family.”“Oh! The Legionist Group that has a market value of a few trillion dollars?” Gladys exclaimed.“Yes, the Legionist Group is just one of the companies under the Cadens. My family’s wealth is comparable to that of a country.”Bobby had already investigated the Callahans.He knew that G

She walked into the palace-like House of Royals.She walked to James and stood by his side. She looked at the table full of cigarettes and frowned. “What’s the matter with you? How much did you smoke?”“Sit anywhere.”James glanced at Quincy lazily.“There are drinks in the refrigerator. Take whatever you want.”“James, cheer up a little. It’s just a divorce. What’s the whole fuss about? Go after her if you can’t let her go. Look at yourself right now. You look horrible,” Quincy scolded him.“You’re the Commander of the Southern Plains’ Black Dragon Army! You’re the dignified Black Dragon! You’re also the Guardian and Military God of Sol! Have a look at yourself! You look nothing like a Military God right now!”“Quincy, are you here to make fun of me? If so, you’ve done enough. Please leave.”Quincy sat down and put her purse aside. She picked up a tissue and cleaned up the cigarette ashes on the table.While cleaning up, she said, “Tomorrow is Thea’s twenty-eighth birthday.

Quincy came to James mainly because she wanted to see him.She thought James was strong and that such a trivial matter would be over in a breeze. Unexpectedly, James was much more fragile than she thought.“I’ve told you about it. Whether you go is up to you. I’ll head back to the company. Call me if you need anything.”Quincy left a few words, took her purse, and left.James sat on the sofa and lit another cigarette. He did not go out for the whole day. He had no motivation in life and simply stayed in the House of Royals. He did not even go out to eat but simply ordered takeout.The news of Thea’s twenty-eighth birthday party had spread throughout Cansington.Many people discussed her birthday party.Cansington was peaceful.However, the Southern Plains’ borders were facing a raging war.The Twenty-eight-nation Alliance was not fooling around. They took the war very seriously. As soon as the troops from the twenty-eight countries assembled, they launched a coordinated atta
