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
Yvette took dozens of selfies with James upon recognizing him. In the last few, she was practically hanging onto his body. The pose was ridiculous and also intimate.“Oh, right.”After taking the selfies, Yvette suddenly remembered something and asked, “Why were you looking for me?”“I’m here because of your brother.”James blamed himself for what happened to those soldiers. He felt incredibly guilty.He had reached out to the soldiers’ families and explained the situation. He also agreed to fulfill almost all of their requests.“Let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”“Okay.” Yvette nodded.The three of them left together.Near Sunleigh High School, a cafe.They sat down in a private room.James began to explain what truly happened in the cavern.“Your brother died because of me. I came to see you because I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help you.”“Huff,” Yvette sighed.“My brother has had it rough ever since he was a kid. He was forced to quit jun
After being beaten up, Hugo immediately called home for his bodyguards to come and back him up.His family’s bodyguards were all great fighters, and each of them could deal with more than a dozen people alone.No matter how good of a fighter James was, he would get him to kneel and beg for mercy.Hugo walked in, glared at James, and pointed to the ground, demanding, “B*stard! Kneel immediately, and I’ll let you go, or else…”Yvette hid behind James and whispered, “He’s from the Doyles. They’re a quite an influential family in Sunleigh City and have assets worth tens of billions. They’re involved in both legal and illegal businesses.”James nodded lightly. He knew that Hugo would keep pestering Yvette if he were to leave without resolving the matter.It would be useless to beat up Hugo again since he would still try to get revenge after James left the city.He would have to call Hugo’s father.When he got off the plane, Hardy had told him that some wealthy people from Sunleigh C
James’ identity was no longer a secret as it was exposed during the public trial.However, most of the people gathered in the cafe were mere students focused on their studies. They largely did not pay much attention to national news or political affairs, so they could not recognize James.Even if some had heard about the trial, they did not watch it and had no impression of James’ appearance.Hugo sat down, crossed his legs, and lit an imported cigar to smoke. He was young but seemed incredibly used to smoking like he had been a smoker for many years.Meanwhile…After receiving James’ call, Hardy, the general stationed in Sunleigh City, was furious.“Quick, go inform Timothy!”Immediately, a lieutenant entered his room and asked, “General Lane, what’s the matter?”Hardy shouted angrily, “The Dragon King called me, saying that Timothy’s son has caused trouble at school. He wants Timothy to go there in person right now!”“What? The Dragon King, James?”“Stop asking so many ques
The cafe’s owner and the students present were shocked.This person was a one-star general. Why was he treating the person in front of him with so much respect?Many onlookers turned their eyes to James. Some students curiously took out their phones and searched for the Dragon King. Immediately, search results of James being recently appointed the Dragon King popped up on their screens.It was supposed to be a secret. However, there were plenty of people when James was awarded the title. Thus, the news had already started to spread in the inner circle, but most outsiders were still unaware of it.“D-Dragon King? James, the Dragon King? The commander of the Black Dragon Army?!” Someone from the crowd exclaimed.James' identity was exposed in an instant. Everyone looked at him in astonishment.Hugo was shocked after the beating. He got up from the ground and covered his bruised face, saying, “Uncle, it’s me, Hugo. W-Why did you hit me?”He could not grasp what had just happened an
After James had visited all the family members of the soldiers that died for him, he purchased tickets back to Cansington.He boarded the plane and returned to Cansington that afternoon.Maxine asked, “Where to, James?”“I need to go cure someone.”James had promised Zane that he would heal Cynthia’s condition.Zane loved his daughter dearly and was willing to spend all his fortune on her. When James asked to borrow money from him, Zane gave him 300 billion dollars without hesitation.It was not because of James’ identity as the national hero, the Black Dragon, but because Zane knew that he had unmatched medical skills and was the only person that could save Cynthia.After walking out of the airport, James hailed a taxi and headed straight to Cynthia’s house.It was already six in the evening when he arrived at Cynthia’s place. He approached the villa’s gate and rang the doorbell. Soon, the iron gate swung open.James and Maxine walked inside.A middle-aged man opened the vil
However, the True Energy that entered Cynthia’s body disappeared without a trace, as if it had sunk into the sea.James asked, “Did you manage to discover anything?”Although James had the second volume of the medical book, it mainly recorded how to use Crucifier and various cultivation methods. It also had a set of martial arts techniques that James had not studied yet. He was unable to diagnose Cynthia’s condition.Maxine’s brows furrowed as she fell into thought for a few seconds. Then, she asked, “Apart from feeling cold, have you felt any other symptoms recently?”Cynthia replied, “Yeah. Sometimes I’ll have severe headaches, dizziness, palpitations, and so on.” Maxine turned to James and said, “If I’m not wrong, she has an incredibly rare physique born for martial arts.”“Born for martial arts?” James was stunned.“Yeah. When I felt her pulse, I transfused a little bit of True Energy into her body, but it was swallowed by the Cold Energy in her body almost instantly. The C
