James took the plane and left the Capital.Soon, he arrived at the Cansington military region.The Blithe King had come to welcome him.When James got out of the car, the Blithe King walked toward him and hugged him.He laughed heartily and said, “James, this time, you’ve helped out the country’s scourge.”Although the Blithe King was stationed in Cansington and did not have to worry about the chaos in the Capital, being in this position would still get him involved in their affairs. Hence, he was well aware of what went down and that James had used the Blade of Justice to kill the Emperor. He also knew that James was in danger.Fortunately, James came back alive.“I’m glad you’re back.” The Blithe King stretched out his hand and hammered James’ chest with a smile. “We’ve known each other for so long but haven’t drunk together. Before you last went to the Southern Plains, I said I’d wait for you to return alive and have a good drink.”“Let’s talk about it again when we have
“Uhm…”Thea was stunned.She could not find the right words to give them an answer.After a momentary silence, she smiled and said, “I heard there was a beautiful woman from the Cadens called Maxine. Seeing her today, she does live up to her reputation.”“You’ve heard about me?” Maxine wore a doubtful expression.Apart from some families who practiced martial arts, not many people in the Capital knew about her. Who did Thea hear about her from?James, on the other hand, dropped the issue. He looked at Thea and asked, “Why are you here?”Thea said with a smile, “Tiara is an employee of yours and a servant of the Callahans. She got hurt because of you, so it shouldn’t be strange for me to come and check on her, right?”James glanced at Quincy.Quincy shrugged and said, “Don’t look at me. I didn’t say anything.”Saying that, she approached James and whispered, “She disappeared for a few days and came back as a completely different person.”“Really?” James looked at Thea with su
Thea did indeed know everything.She was now the young lady of the God-King Palace.Apart from being under one person, Thomas, she was the most prominent authority in the God-King Palace.Even the Four Great Protectors were under her command.However, Thomas repeatedly warned her not to reveal the information to others, especially James.Thea had access to James' whereabouts during the past few days and wanted to help him. With a pleading expression on her pretty face, she said, “Honey, let me help you. I’m not useless and am pretty capable too.”“What do you know?” James looked at Thea with a frown.“I…” Thea hesitated. She wanted to tell him the truth but could not do so.Thea lowered her head and murmured, “S-Someone leaked the information to me.”“Who?” James questioned.“I-I’m not sure.” Thea shook her head.“I don’t know the person or why he revealed such things to me.”“Is that so?” James was doubtful of her answer.‘Who knows so much about me, and why would they te
“Yeah.”Daniel nodded and said, “I’ll send you an email immediately. Check if you’ve received it.”He took out his phone, opened the mailbox, and sent the information to James.“You should stop blaming yourself for what happened. It’s their duty as soldiers. Although they sacrificed themselves, they saved your life. Now that you’ve gotten rid of the Emperor, I’m sure they can rest in peace.”James shook his head and said, “It’s different. They died because of my personal affairs. I owe it to them.”Daniel did not say anything more. He knew that it would be useless to do so.James took out his phone and saw the email.He opened it up and read through the profile information of the soldiers.Then, he called Quincy.“What’s the matter, James? Did something happen?” Quincy’s voice transmitted through the phone.James asked, “Do you have any personal savings? Lend me some money.” “How much?”James quickly calculated in his mind.To compensate each soldier ten million dollars,
Maxine carefully analyzed the problem between James and Thea from a woman’s perspective.She gave James a thorough analysis.The Thea from ten years ago was brave and strong.However, a person who had gone through ten years of humiliation and ridicule would change no matter how brave and persistent they once were.Despite that, Thea did not crumble, and that alone was admirable.“She’s quite a decent woman, worthy of being cherished. Don’t wait until you lose her to regret it. Although Quincy is your first love who waited ten years for you and has been kind to you, she also looked down on you when you were the live-in son-in-law of the Callahans. Only after realizing your identity did she start taking care of you attentively.“Meanwhile, Tiara was an accident. Didn’t her father insist on sending you to prison before she found out about your identity? She hated you, but her attitude changed after finding out you were a national hero.”Maxine expressed her view on his relationship
It was noon, and classes had yet to begin.Most students gathered in groups to chit-chat, gossiping about the dating lives of other students and teachers.“Yvette, get over here right now!” A voice sounded.Following the shouts, a young man stomped over furiously with a dozen classmates.Meanwhile, a young girl with long black hair dressed in a white dress was listening to music through her headphones. She was seated in the last row of the classroom.Her head bopped along with the music. Suddenly, she sensed something wrong and raised her head. Seeing the dozen or so students approaching, her expression slightly darkened. She took off her headphones, opened the window, and jumped outside. After landing, she quickly took off.The male student in the lead ordered furiously, “Follow me! I have to kill that f*cking b*tch!”The group of students quickly rushed after her.Yvette dashed down the stairs. In a panic, she bumped into a few people and got an earful from them.At the sa
Yvette knew Hugo’s character.He was a school bully who had recruited a group of students and constantly flaunted his power. Yvette knew she would be in trouble if she fell into his hands.Her priority was to find a way to escape.As for how she would deal with him in the future, she would have to think about that later.“F*cking b*tch, how dare you get in the way of my fun?” Hugo shouted as he walked over furiously. He scanned Yvette’s face and figure. She was indeed beautiful, and he was satisfied.“Seeing that you’re sincere, I’ll give you a chance to make me feel good. I’ll forgive you if you manage to satisfy me.”“S-Sure thing, Mr. Doyle.” Yvette smiled brightly.Saying that, she immediately pushed her way through one of the male students and ran away. Unfortunately, she could not outrun a group of boys and got caught almost instantly. They dragged her by her hair and pressed her against a wall.Hugo walked over, tugged her hair, and slapped her face, cursing, “Haven’t
James immediately reached out and grabbed Hugo’s wrist.Hugo struggled but could not break free. His face instantly flushed red from embarrassment, and he shouted, “Let go of me, b*stard!”James let go of him but raised his foot to kick him.Hugo flew several meters away, and his body was slammed to the ground. He groaned in pain.His compliances were shocked by the scene. Their opponent was too strong.“Why are you guys still standing there? Attack and kill him!” Hugo roared from the ground.The other students quickly returned to their senses and took out their switchblades to scare James.However, James suddenly dashed toward them.A few seconds later…The students were all lying on the ground, shouting in pain.Maxine looked at James with a strange expression and thought, ‘He sure is a great fighter. He managed to take so many people down so easily.’“Thanks.”Yvette expressed her gratitude and turned to leave.“Wait a moment. You’re Yvette Zook, right?” James stopped h
