“My real name is Scarlett Brooks, Commander,” Black Rose replied honestly.“Alright, Scarlett. I would like to purchase the commercial city in Cansington. You’ll be in charge of it. Henry will assist you behind the scenes and prepare everything for you so you can purchase the place at the lowest price. All you will have to do is attract foreign investments and transform it into a top-tier financial center.”“Understood!” Scarlett nodded, not daring to refuse his order.“Henry.”“I’m all ears, James.”“Inform our men in the Southern Plains to investigate the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain and the mastermind who hired the Black Rose Gang to raid the tomb. Also, find out the identity of the murderer who stole the treasure and whether it was a Black Rose gang member or someone else,” James instructed.Henry nodded and walked out. Taking out his phone, he called the Southern Plains Headquarters and ordered them to use all available connections to investigate.James loo

James left Common Clinic.He still had more work to do.There were two reasons for his return to Cansington—to repay the kindness he was shown and to take revenge.Although the Xaviers, one of the Great Four, had been abolished and the heads of the other three families were dead, there were far more people at the Cadens’ villa back then than them.Many important family members within the Great Four were present!Everyone that was at the Cadens’ villa had to perish!The Frasiers!They were one of the Great Four households in Cansington with countless family businesses and assets worth tens of billions.The Frasiers’ family villa was luxurious and grand.However, the Frasiers’ villa was not as lively and jolly as it used to be in the past.In the hall of the villa, there was a coffin surrounded by all three generations of the Frasiers kneeling on the ground with a priest.Some families who had a good relationship with the Cadens had also attended the funeral of the head of the

“Dad, what happened ten years ago? Are the Great Four related to the fire that engulfed the Cadens’ family ten years ago?The Frasier family members cried out.This guy was a grim reaper. He said that he was not going to spare anyone. Did that mean he was going to kill all of the Frasiers?After relaying the message to the Frasiers, James paid a visit to the Wilsons and Zimmermans.It was the same message. He wanted the culprits at the Cadens’ villa who caused the death of the thirty-eight Caden family members to kneel in front of the Cadens’ cemetery for ten days and redeem themselves with their deaths.Otherwise, no one in their family would be spared.The Xavier family of the Great Four had already perished, and the heads of the other three families were also dead.However, this was just the beginning. The three families panicked.The main members of the three households immediately gathered and sought Rowena to discuss countermeasures since she was the mastermind behind

The people involved in the Cadens' perish were core members of the Great Four, and ordinary family members had no access to such secrets.After the Cadens were destroyed, the Great Four never mentioned the incident.However, some rumors spread.Some people claimed that Nicholas took his life out of guilt. He ignited the fire in the Cadens’ villa and attempted to repent for the sins that he had committed with the flames.Some people also said that the Cadens had offended someone of authority and therefore were destroyed. No one knew the truth.However, James issued them a death notice.Kneel for ten days and pay with their lives.How was it possible?These people were filthy rich with hundreds of millions of assets and enjoyed inexhaustible wealth. It was already impossible for them to kneel for ten days, let alone take their own lives.The representatives of the families left Rowena’s ward one after another.Hector, Warren’s eldest son and Rowena’s eldest brother, hurried t

However, even an elite like the lieutenant of the Western Border Patrol was murdered at the Cansington Hotel. How were ordinary people like them going to stand against him?Still, they were willing to take a chance to fight back.They were unaware of the grave consequences that would follow when they failed.The Great Four were thrown into panic, yet the outside world had no idea as it was an internal affair of the Great Four.The rest of the world only knew that the Great Four were in big trouble. The head of the Xaviers, Warren, died tragically at his birthday banquet. Soon after, the news of Trent’s passing spread.After that, the heads of the other three families of the Great Four also died.All important figures from the Great Four were gone.It was major news in Cansington.However, the news was overshadowed by the succession of the Blithe King.Now that the succession ceremony was over, everyone began to turn their attention to the affairs of the Great Four again.“The

Thea’s family left early in the morning.Their goal today was to purchase a new luxury car.They had visited countless car dealers and tested many cars, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and luxury cars from other well-known brands.However, they were still unsatisfied.It was either too low for their expectations or way over their budget.Coincidentally, there was a motor show in Cansington that day.There were plenty of luxury cars being showcased. Thea’s family visited the show.Davids's eyes widened when he saw the luxury cars on display.“Woah! Ferrari, Bentley, Maybach, and Bugatti Veyron!”David looked at the sexy and attractive model standing in front of the luxury cars on display and was envious. “When will we ever be able to buy a real luxury car? A car that costs one million is garbage compared to these.”Slap!Gladys slapped David’s forehead and reprimanded him. “Don’t have unrealistic dreams. It’s more than enough to buy a car that is about one million. Wh

Xander used to mainly do dirty business. He had not even opened his mouth yet, but the brat in front of him was pinning the blame on him.“Of course I’m going to brake and wait for the red light! You were following behind too closely and bumped into me. Now, you’re blaming me and wronging me?”Xander glanced at David’s car and noticed there was no license plate on it, nor was there an insurance sticker on the windscreen. Immediately, he was thrilled.“It’s a new car, right? Well, you see, there’s a dent in the back of my car now. It should be enough to pay me if you sell the car and top up a few million more.”David’s legs went rubbery, and he immediately fell to the ground. “I’m so sorry, Sir. Could you please forgive me? I bought this car with all my money. I have no money to compensate you!”“Why be so arrogant if you have no money?” Xander kicked David to the ground, approached him, and began beating him.“Don’t hit him!” Alyssa rushed over and grabbed Xander.Slap!Xander

Thea’s family was in a state of panic after David was taken away.David was kidnapped right before the traffic police, but they did not try to stop him.They were not stupid and understood that someone driving a car worth tens of millions was definitely a person of great influence.Alyssa grabbed Thea and asked hopefully, “You’re the only one who can save David now. Aren’t you acquainted with Alex Yates? Hurry and give him a call!”“I… I’ll try.” Thea was not confident.However, now that her brother was taken away, the situation was so urgent that she had no choice but to try.“Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.”Thea called Alex, but his phone could not be reached.“I called, but it’s not getting through,” said Thea.“Then what else should we do? J-James! Isn’t he a retired soldier? Didn’t he say that he knew someone very influential? Call him to come, quick!” Alyssa was about to cry and said with a sobbing voice.“I’ve called him. He is on the way.”“
