James lay on the bed and rested. Soon, Thea was done showering. Draped in a towel, she walked over to James, who was deep in contemplation, and asked with a delighted smile on her face, “Am I pretty, honey?” Hearing this, James glanced at her. Thea just came out of the shower, so her wet hair was a bit messy but also enticing. Upon seeing this, James gulped. Then, he said smilingly, “What a shame that my body is in terrible shape.” Thea got on the bed and lay beside James. Embracing him in her arms, she consoled him gently, “You’re gonna be fine. By the way, I noticed that you’ve been busy reading something. What book is it?” “Just an ordinary medical book. I tried looking for ways to cure Gu venom, but after flipping through the pages day and night, I found nothing.” James said nothing about the second volume of the medicinal book. “Oh.” Thea continued, “Don’t overthink things. Everything will be alright.” James put his thoughts aside and entered into a state of de
James asked, “What do you wanna ask?” “I…” Tiara blushed. Thankfully, James could not see her face as she was pushing his wheelchair. Lately, she had been hearing a lot of rumors. She heard that although James and Thea were married for quite some time, they had yet to have sexual relations. Triar was curious about the topic, but she felt that it was embarrassing to bring up the subject. “Thea has a nice figure,” she said in a roundabout manner, “If I was a man, I would have fallen in love with her.” “Cut to the chase, Tiara.” James did not know what Tiara was trying to say. To him, a woman’s mind was perhaps the most complex thing of all. Tiara whispered, “I heard that you haven’t yet had sexual relations with her. Is that true?” “Yes, it’s true,” James admitted. “Oh.” After remaining silent for some time, she continued, “Actually, I-I’m fine with it.” “Huh?” James froze. ‘What is she trying to say?’ Tiara's cheeks were bright red. “Well, I heard that men have
James looked at Blake and waited for him to speak. Blake took a deep breath and said, “You’d never guess what was being researched in that lab in the mountains.” James’ curiosity was piqued. He asked, “What did you find?” Blake continued, “You know about Gu venom, don’t you? It’s one of the most venomous things in the world. It takes years, even centuries, to raise a Gu. Each Gu possesses deadly poison and unknown viruses. What’s most scary about them is the virus they carry.” “What are you trying to say?” With a grim expression, Blake said, “The research laboratory is conducting research on viruses.” “Viruses?!” James was stunned. “Have you ever heard of the Undead Warrior?” Blake asked. James shook his head. “No.” Blake explained, “By using viruses to change the cellular structure of the human body, the individual will gain immense strength. Not only that, he will lose his physical senses and become a ruthless and cold-blooded puppet warrior that only obeys commands
James nodded and got in the wheelchair. Then, they headed back. Looking at the USB drive in his hand, he was deep in contemplation. The Undead Warrior? His expression turned grim. Using viruses to change the cellular structure of a human body was not impossible. After all, he had used drugs to strengthen his body during training sessions before. However, viruses were much more terrifying than drugs. That was because he had experienced it beforehand. Soon, they arrived at the Callahans’ villa. Gladys was playing poker with her friends. Upon seeing James, she ordered, “James, go buy some groceries and prepare lunch. My friends will be having their meal with us here.” “Mrs. Hill, he’s the former Black Dragon! How could you order him to buy groceries?” One of the rich ladies was stunned. “This is nothing surprising.” Gladys smiled. “Even when he was the Black Dragon, he obeyed my every command.” “Impressive!” “You must be proud to have such a son-in-law.” The other
After Tiara left, James sat cross-legged on the floor and entered into a state of deep mediation to begin his cultivation. At the same time, in the Capital… At the Emperor’s Mansion… Wearing a grim expression, the Emperor sat on the sofa while gesturing the motion of a gun. Meanwhile, a middle-aged man was kneeling before him. He looked around forty years old and had an ordinary appearance apart from the scar on his face. It made him look hideous. “Tell me… What do you plan to do next?” the Emperor asked in a cold voice. Shivering in fear, the man kneeling before him said, “G-Give me another chance. Three days! In three days, I will find out who infiltrated the research laboratory and stole the research data. I will definitely bring the data back.” “Three days, Scar! If you can’t find the research data in three days, I’ll have your head. Remember, kill all who have seen the research data.” “U-Understood!” The man kneeling on the ground nodded profusely. The Emperor
Scar muttered. Then, he asked, “Is there anything suspicious about the woman pushing James’ wheelchair?” The henchman replied, “She went out in the morning. As we were all watching James closely, we didn’t follow her, but she was out for approximately three hours. By the time she got back, she has a basket of vegetables. She should have been out buying groceries.” “Three hours for grocery shopping?” Scar murmured. Then, he ordered, “From now on, watch the woman closely. I want you to keep tabs on her whereabouts.” “Scar, do you still suspect James?” “I don’t, but my boss does. You’re dismissed.” “Understood.” … James remained in the room the whole day. Even his meals were brought to him by Tiara. In the evening, Thea returned. After working the whole day, she was feeling fatigued, not to mention that her injuries had yet to recover. The moment she got home, she went upstairs. Looking at James, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed like a statue, she asked while
Since James was being closely watched by the Emperor’s men, he could only rely on Tiara to contact the others. He was worried that something would happen to her, so he reminded her to be on her guard. Tiara smiled sweetly. “It’s gonna be fine. They would have made a move against me a long time ago if they wanted to. Besides, I’m just someone you hired. They have no reason to target me.” “Anyway, be careful. The Emperor will surely act now that the research data has been stolen. He’ll be watching my every move closely, and possibly even yours.” “Don’t worry, I’ll be on my guard. I’ll call you if anything happens. Please leave the kitchen now. I have to do my dishes.” “Got it.” James turned to leave. However, he did not go upstairs but instead remain in the living room. After tidying up the kitchen, Tiara walked out with a trash bag. “I’ll be on my way, James.” “Alright, be careful!” Tiara smiled sweetly and left. James only headed upstairs after she was gone. Thea
Distraught, it took Tara a while to recollect herself. Then, she opened the car door to take a glimpse at what was going on. The moment the door opened, however, a man charged at her and covered her mouth. He forcibly dragged her into the black sedan. Before the taxi driver could react, the black sedan had left. He immediately called the police.The black sedan immediately headed toward the suburbs. In the car… Tiara’s mouth was covered, and she was pinned down in the backseat of the car. Her strength was limited, so she could not break free no matter how hard she tried. Nasir grabbed the plastic bag in her hand and rummaged through it. He found a document inside and he immediately opened it. Once he saw the content, his face turned pale. “Quick, return to the base. I need to find Scar immediately.” In the Callahans’ villa… James was sitting on the bed meditating. He looked at the time. It was already 10 p.m. Tiara had been out for two hours. A round trip to Medical
