Chapter 663
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

“M-My son-in-law was the Black Dragon?” Wearing a remorseful expression, Gladys slapped her forehead. “Gladys Hill, how foolish of you. You chased away the best son-in-law in the world.” Quincy looked at Thea and said, “You’re on your own.” After leaving this cold remark, she turned to leave. “Sigh…” Seeing the remorseful look on Thea’s face, Cynthia sighed deeply. She looked at Zane and grabbed his hand. “Dad, let’s go home. We’ll return to the north. Since James doesn’t belong here, I don’t belong here either.” “Mhm.” Zane nodded. Then, together with Cynthia, they left Cansington Hotel. Seeing that Quincy was about to leave, Thea hurriedly stopped her. “D-Don’t go! Tell me, please! What should I do now?” Quincy turned and looked at the sobbing Thea and said, “You shouldn’t have treated him like that from the very beginning. It was you who drove James away. There’s not much I can help you out with. To be honest, I have feelings for him too. I love him. But, since he was

Ten years ago, Thea got completely disfigured after trying to save him from the flames. He repaid her for saving his life by giving her ten billion dollars. He no longer owed her anything. Now, however, he owed another young maiden. As a man, it was only right for him to admit his mistakes. Back then, he was still married to Thea. Therefore, he could not make any promises. Now, after having divorced Thea, he had to return to the battlefield to take charge of the situation. Looking at Tiara, the young maiden who experienced fate’s cruel joke, James gave his assurance. With his promise, Tiara was now at ease. She knew that James, as the guardian of Sol, would keep his word. “I will wait for you in Cansington. I await your safe return.” James did not stay for a chat. Immediately, he turned to leave and got back into the car. Tiara got off the road, and the jeep continued on its journey. Soon, they arrived at the military region of Cansington. A helicopter was on st

Now that war had broken out once more, their people’s livelihoods must have suffered tremendously. “Henry, what’s your take on this? Why did the twenty-eight nations attack Sol?” James looked at Henry. Although Henry’s injuries had not recovered fully, he was now able to walk. With war breaking out in the Southern Plains, he followed James here. Henry thought long and hard about this. After a while, he said, “I think something’s amiss. They justified their war goal by pointing to the lives that were lost in the hijacking incident. I think someone must have arranged for it.” James nodded. Henry’s analysis was spot on. “Who do you think it is, then? What’s their objective?” James questioned. “The one behind the scenes should know that, despite entering into an alliance, the military power of the twenty-eight nations combined is no match for Sol. They should understand that once Sol gets its act together, crushing the twenty-eight nations is but a piece of cake.” Saying that
