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

Some people wished for James to resume his post.Some also disapproved of the idea.It took a lot of effort to finally get James to leave his post. He would act lawlessly again if he resumed his position. If that were to happen, who would dare punish him?The meeting lasted the whole night.However, they were unable to come to a conclusion.The next day.In Cansington.James slept through the whole night and woke up in a daze.He remembered that it was Thea’s twenty-eighth birthday.Initially, he did not want to go to her party.Still, he wanted to send her a word of blessing, as she had been his wife at one point.He got up, shaved his beard, and washed his face. Then, he put on a decent set of clothes.He sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette while thinking about what he should gift Thea.He thought about it for a while but could not decide what to get her.Ultimately, he chose not to get anything since he could not make a decision.He got up and went out.

At the foyer of the hotel, many big shots of Cansington gathered. Some were from the corporate world, while others came from political circles. The latter was here for the Black Dragon. News of the Black Dragon’s relationship with Thea had spread like wildfire. They were saying that Thea divorced her husband to be together with the Black Dragon, one of the former commanders-in-chief. Even if he had resigned from his post, he was worth getting acquainted with. Thea was wearing a low-cut dress. Her long hair was tied up, and bandages covered her face. Even so, it did not have the slightest effect on her unique charisma and demeanor. She was greeting her guests. Meanwhile, Bobby was escorting her the whole time. Together with James, Cynthia walked over to Thea. Thea saw them approaching from afar. Upon seeing how intimate James was with another woman, she momentarily froze. Then, she smiled and greeted, “Cynthia, you’re here.” “Mhm.” Cynthia gently nodded. Cynthia

“Black Dragon, Sol needs you!” “The Soleans need you!” “Sol needs your protection!” Their voices rang in unison. Though there were many specialized police units maintaining order, they did not stop the crowd from requesting the Black Dragon to return to the battlefield. The commotion outside attracted the attention of many. A few big shots walked out. As did Quincy. She saw the thousands upon thousands of people holding the banners up high. There were names written in blood on them. They implored the Black Dragon to come out of retirement and return to the battlefield to stem the tide of the battle. Thea glanced at Quincy and pushed her to the front. “I don’t know where he is. She’s the Black Dragon’s girlfriend. Ask her.” Quincy froze. Immediately, she recalled how she colluded with James by putting on an act to create the impression that she was his girlfriend. The crowd was stunned. “Wasn’t the Black Dragon rumored to have a relationship with Thea?” “What? Th

Many reporters gathered outside Cansington Hotel. The scene was broadcasted live. The crowd only dispersed after Thea reiterated that the Black Dragon was not there and that she did not know of his whereabouts. Thea and the others returned to Cansington Hotel. More and more guests arrived. Soon, hundreds of guests gathered in the foyer. The big shots from Cansington all presented their specially prepared gifts. However, they were only ordinary big shots. The truly powerful and influential people from the Five Provinces Business Alliance or Infinity Commerce were not invited to attend. After all, they had bad blood with the Callahans. It would be inappropriate for them to come. Giving a glistening smile, Gladys received the gifts on behalf of Thea. Lex, who was wearing a red suit, was conversing with some big shots while leaning on his cane not too far away. They were discussing the development of Eternality Group. Lex, at long last, believed that the Callahans were
