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. He did not dr
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
Quincy was unrelenting. She pointed at Thea and rebuked her, “Are you a fool? What kind of man would give a woman ten billion dollars? And do you seriously think it was Zane who gave him that?” Being rebuked in public, Thea was displeased. She said coldly, “Quincy, this has nothing to do with you. Knock it off. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I turn against you.” “You idiot! Such a fine man, and you threw him away just like that. You will regret this!” “Enough!” James roared. Quincy turned to look at him, her eyes brimming with tears, and cried out, “You’re an idiot too!” Saying that, she ran away sobbing. The crowd was witnessing this spectacle. Everyone knew that James was trash. News of Thea’s divorce from James and her intimate relationship with the Black Dragon had spread like wildfire. However, as these were their private affairs, not many knew of the specifics. Cynthia gently tugged at James and whispered, “Are you alright?” James smiled and said, “Of course I a
Thousands of the Black Dragon army knelt outside Cansington Hotel. At the helm was Henry. In his hands was a military uniform. The Blithe King stood by the side holding a red document. “All hail the Dragon General!” Their voices rang in unison. This attracted the attention of passers-by. Even the police in charge of maintaining public order were dumbfounded. What was going on? The crowd with banners had only just left. Now, even the Black Dragon army and the Blithe King were here. Could it be that the Black Dragon was really in the hotel? In the hotel… Tommy hurriedly ran toward the Callahans while yelling, “Grandpa! Thea! Something is going on outside!” Lex chided, “How outrageous! Where are your manners?” “No, grandpa. Something’s really going on. The Black Dragon army and the Blithe King are yelling ‘All hail the Dragon General’ outside.” Upon hearing this, everyone froze. The Dragon General? “Is the Black Dragon in the hotel?” The crowd scanned the
The Callahans, in particular, were petrified. They could not believe that James, the useless son-in-law of the Callahans, would be the world-renowned Black Dragon, the guardian of Sol. They found it hard to connect the dots. Time passed. Clack! Clack! Clack! The sound of leather boots could be heard inside the hotel. A man in the Black Dragon robe walked out. The Black Dragon robe was pitch black. A lifelike black dragon was carved on it, and there was a five-star badge on its shoulder area. There were only five people in Sol who wore a five-star badge. Wearing the Black Dragon robe, his face was stern, and he exuded a commanding presence. The moment he walked out of the hotel, the crowd could feel the strong aura he exuded. It was suffocating. “All hail the Dragon General!” Their voices rang in unison. Quincy was watching James from afar. At that moment, James was the most handsome man on earth to her. Her eyes were brimming with tears that flowed down her
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, James got on a jeep and left. Thea burst into tears. She crouched down. Looking at the jeep now far away, she covered her mouth while tears flowed down her cheeks. At that moment, she knew she had forever lost a man who deeply loved and cared for her. “Farewell, God of War.” “We await your triumphant return.” Only after the jeeps left did the crowd cheer. The commotion outside Cansington Hotel only stopped after ten minutes. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Callahans. The Callahans’ faces were pale. They never thought that the son-in-law of the Callahans would be the Black Dragon. If they had known, they would have buttered him up. “What’s going on, Thea?” Gladys questioned. She was still confused and had yet to recollect herself. “How did James turn out to be the Black Dragon?” Thea was crying her eyes out. “Thea, what’s going on? J-James is the Black Dragon?” Tommy asked puzzledly. “Say something.” “Stop crying alrea
