Chapter 695
After giving them brief instructions, James dismissed them. The Black Dragon Palace once again fell into silence. James headed to the rooftop on the third floor. Leaning against a chair, he smoked his cigarette while gazing at the starry sky. He thought of the people in Cansington. Although he was in the Southern Plains, his heart was in Cansington. He wondered if he would ever have the opportunity to return to Cansington. At that moment, he wanted to drink. However, Henry was not around. He headed downstairs and went to the wine cellar. He grabbed a few bottles of wines given to him by merchants in the past and returned to the rooftop. He drank by himself in the quiet of the night. At that moment, a person came to mind. He pulled his phone out and called Quincy. Quincy has been outside the Black Dragon Palace for a whole day. Despite that, James gave her no attention whatsoever. As a result, she returned to her hotel room. She was just done showering. In

Quincy walked over to James. She wore a red slip dress that exposed her shoulders. Her red curly hair flowed in the wind. Her facial features were fine and exquisite, and the lipstick she wore complimented her beauty. She smirked at James who was sitting in a chair with wine bottles on the floor. “You look like you’re having a great life.” James got up and gestured to the seat beside him, “Have a seat. No need to be formal.” Quincy sat opposite James. She adjusted her dress slightly and covered her legs to prevent herself from flashing him with her underwear. James did not notice her minute actions. He grabbed a bottle of wine and tossed it to her. Then, he smiled at her. “I’m bored of drinking this by myself. I need someone to talk to.” Quincy noticed that the alcohol content in the bottle James handed her was quite high. “I can’t drink this. Do you have red wine?” “Yes, hold on. I’ll go get some.” James got up and went to the wine cellar to grab a few bottles of red w

Quincy was drunk and fell unconscious. She did not know how long she had slept. She slowly woke up and rubbed her temples. After a while, she got up and realized she was in a hotel. Her bag and her laptop were on the table beside the bed. She pulled her phone out of the bag and looked at the time. It was four in the morning. “How did I get so drunk?” Her mind was a blur. She remembered James inviting her for a drink. She remembered telling him her thoughts. After that, her memory was blank. Quincy glimpsed at her phone and noticed the location it displayed. “Cansington? I’m back in Cansington?!” She was stunned. After a few seconds, realization dawned on her. Her eyes filled with tears. “James, you jerk…” She violently threw her phone onto the floor. It instantly smashed into pieces. She collapsed onto her bed and cried her eyes out. She remembered confessing her love to James. However, he sent her back here all the way to Cansington. James had rejec

Henry in his military uniform got off the helicopter. Behind him were the envoys of Sol. “Sir, the negotiations were a resounding success.” Henry walked over to James with a bright smile. They embraced and laughed out loud. “You’ve done well. From now on, the borders of the Southern Plains will be at peace, and you’ve become a national hero. Your name will go down in history and be remembered by Soleans for generations to come.” Henry smiled bashfully. “It’s all thanks to you, sir. I’m just an errand boy.” “Reporting~” At that moment, Levi ran over to them and saluted James. James acknowledged him. “What’s wrong?” Levi exclaimed ecstatically, “I heard from the Capital that the Supreme Commander and King of Sol are heading here to the Southern Plains to confer you a title.” James scratched his nose.“I’m already one of the five commanders-in-chief. What title is there left?” Henry beamed proudly. “Congratulations, sir.” “Alright now, stop kissing my *ss. Let’s hav

The conferring of title was not disclosed to the public. Only a few were aware of the event. The Southern Plains’ military region was in a festive mood. “Congratulations, Dragon General…” Henry approached James with a bright smile. “No, wait. It should be the Dragon King now.” “Okay, I get it. Stop buttering me up.” James gestured for him to stop. He cared little about these titles. Levi walked over to him and asked, “What should we do about the hundred and forty cities handed over by the twenty-eight-nations?” James rubbed his temples. This was a difficult question. “Call for a conference.” James got up and headed to the conference room. In the conference room at the military region headquarters… The Elite Eight and the generals of the Black Dragon army gathered. James sat at the very front. Levi pulled out a document and read out loud, “Each of the twenty-eight-nations has ceded five cities to Sol. Although they are small in size, the combined area of the te
Chapter 700
The King of Sol had conferred James the title of Dragon King and gave him authority to manage the newly acquired cities. Everyone gave their own suggestions on how to best manage the cities. “In that case, we need to have a proper plan. However, since we’re all military men, we know little about this. We should seek assistance from some brilliant and capable politicians from inland here to help us administer the cities.” Henry asked, “What should we name our cities then? You’re the Dragon King, the one who rules over these cities. You should be the one naming them.” “Just come up with random names.” James tried to dismiss him. He could not care less about naming the cities. Henry persisted. “That won’t do. This has historical significance. This event will go down in the history books and be read by Soleans for generations to come. We must give this the consideration it deserves.” “What about Theaville?” James suggested. Henry rolled his eyes. “Seriously, James? Will y
Chapter 701
James’ face was contorted with rage, and a vein popped out in his neck. He did not expect that someone would abduct Thea and use her to blackmail him despite having divorced her. However, he remained composed. He called Jay, who was far away in Cansington. Jay was currently entertaining a guest. At that moment, his phone rang. Realizing it was James who called, he immediately headed toward a desolate area. “Dragon General, what seems to be the matter?” “Jake, investigate Thea’s current whereabouts for me.” Jay froze for a brief moment. Almost immediately, however, he nodded. “I’ll give you an answer in five minutes.” Though he did not know what had happened, he felt something was not quite right with James’ tone. After hanging up the phone, he immediately contacted the underground intelligence network. Once Ronald had withdrawn from the place, Jay’s men had once again taken over the network. James waited patiently after calling Jay. Five minutes soon passed. “Si

Looking at the unknown men in front of the wooden house, James frowned and walked over to them. “Halt.” The men blocked James’ path. One of them walked over to him and said coldly, “Search him.” James was not sure whether Thea was abducted here. He chose not to act recklessly and allowed his enemy to search him. James did not bring any weapons. All he brought were some silver needles and the steel wire formed by the Crucifier. However, all of the silver needles and even the Crucifier were confiscated. Glancing at his enemy, he said coldly, “You better take good care of my belongings. If even a single silver needle is missing, I’ll tear you to pieces.” After he said that, he entered the wooden house. Clap! Clap! Clap! The moment he walked in, someone clapped. The elderly man stood up while clapping and said smilingly, “How brave of you to come, James. I’m really impressed.” James saw Thea who was sitting on a chair. She was not tied up, nor were there signs th
