Thea was wheeled back into the operating theatre to get her wounds closed back up.James waited in the corridor outside the theatre on a bench.His arms were propped on his knees, and his hands covered his face.He felt immense guilt toward Quincy.He walked aside, took out his phone, and texted her.[Have you left?]Quincy had already left the hospital and was sitting in her car absent-mindedly.Suddenly, she heard the chime of a text notification from her phone.She picked it up and saw James’ message. Her beautiful face was contorted in an expression of grief. Quincy knew that James still had feelings for Thea, and was unable to forget her despite the divorce.Still, she wanted to shoot her shot. It was better than regretting having not done anything.In the end, she still walked away with a broken heart.‘Everything was my fault,’ lamented Quincy.She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and replied to the text. [Yeah, I left. I’m on the way home.]After sendi

He stood up, took the book, and uttered softly, “Thank you.”Quincy smiled. “I know you’ll miss this book, so I brought it over for you.”“Thanks….”James nodded lightly and looked at her apologetically. “I’m sorry…”Quincy’s pretty lips were curved in a smile as she waved off his apology, saying calmly, “It’s okay. It really is. I already told you that I’d respect whatever decision you make.”She let out a small sigh. “Thea has it pretty rough. The whole world turned against her after her face got burned. Even her own family despised her. Finally, everything was starting to look good for her, but she ended up getting poisoned. I wonder what will happen to her once the venom takes effect.”Quincy could understand both Thea and James’ situation.It was partly her fault for harboring selfish desires.James would not be on the fence if she had not interfered back then.“To be honest, I don’t want to continue this relationship with Thea anymore.”James looked down and said, “Empe

James scratched his head.That sounded like a terrible idea since he had no interest in political affairs.However, the King was a wise man, so the candidate he had in mind must be an esteemed individual.James was more than happy to pave the way for a wise leader.“Wealth?” James murmured pensively.The situation at the Southern Plains had just been quelled, and it would be difficult to accumulate enough wealth within a year.His only choice was to start from Cansington.“What did Gloom mean? The wealthy from the Capital, Oceanic Commerce, Five Provinces Business Alliance, and Infinite Commerce?”James pondered on his words once more.‘Is he suggesting that I use illegal means to acquire the wealth I need from these people?’James shook his head and dismissed his thoughts.He walked back into the ward with the medical book.“Honey…”As soon as he returned, Thea looked at him quizzically. “Who were you talking to outside?”“No one.”James did not explain himself.He plo

Blake scanned James’ body.“You look much better. Looks like your training has already borne fruit. Don’t forget your promise to teach me the cultivation method.”James said with a smile, “Of course. However, I’m still in the process of learning. After cultivating my True Energy, I’ll pass the method on to you.”“Did you also forget you owe me an antidote?.” Blake stretched out his hand.“Get me a pen and paper. I’ll write the formula for you. You can go grab the medicine yourself.”Blake immediately brought him a pen and paper.James wrote down the prescription for the medicine that would detoxify the poison and handed it to Blake.Blake took it and gave it a quick skim.Countless medicinal materials that he did not recognize were written on it. Since he could not make heads or tails of it, he simply put it away.James then spoke in a more serious tone, “I’ve got a mission for you.”Blake looked at him and asked, “Hmm? What is it?” James explained, “The Emperor has establi

The news of the Elite Eight defecting had spread from the Southern Plains to the whole country and became an international sensation in a short amount of time.Netizens across the country hotly discussed the matter.James was the one who subdued the Elite Eight. Thus, he naturally became the subject of discussion.The whole country sympathized with James.It was a pity their justice system could not see the virtue in what he had done. Otherwise, he would have become a living legend. James stayed in the hospital the entire day, still studying the medical book. After learning about the news, his lips curved in a faint smile.“Darling, the Elite Eight have defected from the Black Dragon Army.”Thea was bored while lying in bed.Although James stayed behind to accompany her in the hospital, he hardly spoke to her. She kept looking for an opportunity to talk to him. When she saw the news on her phone, she brought it up and tried to use it as a conversation starter.Immediately whe

Newton slowly apprised James of the situation in Cansington.“Also…”Newton said, “Recently, a new pharmaceutical group called Centennial Corporation was established in Cansington.”“Huh? Centennial Corporation? Who’s behind them?” James cocked his eyebrow.Newton shook his head. “I don’t know. They’re currently rising in popularity for launching several new medicines that have garnered unanimous praise from consumers. Moreover, they’ve gained quite a following on Medical Street. They have countless well-known doctors supporting them, including Jonathan who lost to you in the last medical conference.”Hearing that made James realize something.‘If I’m not wrong, the boss behind Centennial Corporation is the Emperor since Jonathan is his accomplice,’ James voiced his speculation out loud.“Centennial Corporation? A hundred years? Is this a reference to their plan a hundred years ago?” James murmured darkly.He knew the Emperor was trying to conquer the world with Gu. It was a sc

James was incredibly indecisive.He really had not wanted to cause trouble for Quincy.Nevertheless, he hoped that she would help him.“Let me in on the details. What do you need me to do? Also, I’m not going to help you for free. There’s a limit to how much I provide for free.” Quincy smiled cheekily.James thought about it for a moment and said, “I’ll find a way to get the money first. You should spend the next few days preparing to set up the company. When I’ve sorted things out on my end, I’ll contact you for the next step.”Quincy nodded. “Alright. That’ll do.”She stood up and glanced toward the hospital.Quincy wanted to visit Thea but knew that Thea still held some animosity toward her, so she decided against it.She waved her hand as she walked away. “I’ll head back first.”James watched as Quincy left. After leaving, he stood up and walked back toward the hospital.“Money, huh?”James began to worry about the money.‘I need money to start the business.‘However,

If this happened while James was still the Dragon King, he’d have outright refused.However, he desperately needed the money now.“Please consider it a debt I owe you, I’ll definitely pay you back as soon as I’m able to. As for Cynthia, give me some time. I’ll be able to cure her completely very soon.”James was confident in the Crucifier’s ability.As long as he could cultivate True Energy and use it, Cynthia’s illness would be as good as cured.“Alright. Then I’ll come meet you in Cansington tomorrow.”After coming to an agreement with Zane, James ended the call.He sighed in relief after hanging up.Fortunately, Zane was still willing to help him. Otherwise, he would not have known what to do.After resolving the issue of finances, he walked into the ward.Newton and Serena turned and greeted him. “Mr. Caden.”James nodded his head in response.Newton picked up a plastic bag on the table and handed it to James.“These are the drugs recently launched by Centennial Corpor
