The military was dispatched. They sealed off the Prosperous Dynasty and arrested many people.The news caused an uproar in Cansington.“The Blithe King sure is enthusiastic! The first person he went after was Xander.”“I heard that Xander used to deal in some dirty business in the past. After years of cleaning up his business, he finally started doing some legal business. However, many lives ended in his hands, and there was a lot of dirt on him.”“Haha, it sure is satisfying! Black Wind Xander has finally been arrested! Even if he didn’t fall under gunfire this time, he will surely spend the rest of his life in jail!”The people of Cansington gossiped about what happened.All the major families had instructed their family members not to cause any trouble during this and lay low. It would cause their families many problems if they got targeted by the Blithe King.Thea’s family home.The whole family sat on the sofa in the living room. No one said anything, and the atmosphere

James went to Common Clinic after leaving Prosperous Dynasty.However, Henry was out.As he had the keys to the clinic, he let himself in. Ceasing operations for the day, he shut the door behind him after entering.He was going to take a nap in the back room.He had not slept well these few days, planning to catch up on his rest using this opportunity.After what felt like mere seconds after he fell asleep, his phone started ringing.Noticing that it was Thea, he smiled slightly.He answered the phone.Thea was crying.As he listened to her, he felt warm inside. Tenderly, he replied, “I’m at Common Clinic. I’ll be home soon.”He knew with certainty that the Smiths had sent David back.Now that Xander was dead, the Smiths would not have the guts to trouble Thea anymore. They were not that stupid.They would never let her get a divorce from him.Not if they wanted to live.James stretched.After that, he got out of bed and left the clinic, closing the door behind him.He

The Blithe King’s appearance did not affect James at all.Since he resolved Thea’s problem, she had called for his return.He was in a good mood, humming a tune comfortably.Soon, he reached Thea’s house.He knocked.The door opened.It was Thea.Seeing James, she fell into his arms and started to cry.James could not help but be moved as a beautiful woman threw herself at him, accompanied by an intoxicating scent.James put an arm around her shoulder, smiling. “It’s okay. Everything’s okay now. Don’t cry. Your eyes will get puffy if you keep crying.”Thea stopped crying then, pulling James into the house with her.Everyone was there.However, they looked ill at ease.James approached them. “Dad, mom.”Gladys nodded, acknowledging his presence. “Don’t blame us, James. We had no choice.”“Mom, I don’t blame you. I only have myself to blame for not being able to help.”James smiled.He did not blame anyone at all.Furthermore, when it all came down to it, he could not b

“It’s alright.”James explained, “This is just an example. The rich at the Southern Plains spend hundreds of millions like it’s nothing. My boss is worth hundreds of billions.”“What about you? How much do you have?”“Not much, just hundreds of millions.”James was careful not to divulge too much.Thea was shocked. “How is having hundreds of millions not much?”Immediately, she yelled, “How could you do this, James? You seem honest most of the time, but you’ve done something so terrible. Do you only care about money?”“Isn’t this normal? Mom has mentioned that Howard uses his position to pocket money as well. He’s enjoyed so many benefits, including luxury cars and mansions. Grandfather closes one eye to his antics. Look at dad, getting scolded by mom for being too honest.”Thea considered it.She supposed he could be right.However, those were completely different matters.Whatever Howard did, it was all in the family.Whatever James did was illegal.“Jamie, why don’t you

“Let’s go, James.” Thea pulled James away.She was afraid that James would lose control and start bragging about his wealth.James had told her where the money came from. It was dirty.Though it was also worth noting James had mentioned that he went to court over this matter and got expelled from the military.The money was his final reward for his service.Technically, the money was legal.However, Thea was still worried when she thought about the source of the money.It was best they stayed out of trouble. If the higher-ups pursued this case, James would be in trouble.As such, she started to drag James away.Since Thea wanted to leave, James kept quiet.“Hmph!” Xena cackled. “Just say you’re poor and be done with it.”Zach had an idea. He approached Thea, saying, “Thea, which clothes do you prefer? I’ll purchase them as a gift for you.”“Thanks, but no thanks.” Thea dragged James away again.However, James felt like he had been greatly humiliated. How dare Zach talk a
