“Don’t lie to me, James.” “I’m not. There isn’t much left on the card. Maybe a hundred million?” James had a frustrated look. Was it his fault that he was loaded? Thea snatched the card in his hands and grunted coldly, “I’m curious to see how much there is left in this card.” Saying that, she headed to a nearby ATM. She inserted the card. “Password?” She turned to look at James, who followed close behind. James replied, “Six eights.” Thea keyed in the password. Upon seeing the number on the screen, she snickered. Then, wearing a grim expression, she reproached James, “The balance is zero. How dare you lie to me?” James scratched his nose. The balance was indeed zero. However, it was capable of withdrawing a hundred million dollars. Besides, he did not have to pay them back. The financial department of the country would help him pay for everything. Thea pulled out the card and returned it to James. Although the balance was zero, Thea was delighted. Th

“Wow! Is this the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng?” “I can even smell its fragrance from here.” “Legend has it that it has an extremely high medical value and can be used to cure all illnesses by combining it with other high-quality herbs.” The crowd was heated in their discussions. Upon seeing the ginseng, James had a satisfied look. “Not bad. It’s indeed a thousand years old. I never expected to see such a precious herbal medicine in a bustling city like this.” Though Thea did not know anything about medicine, she was nevertheless stunned upon seeing such huge ginseng. Christine spoke behind the auction block, “This thousand-year-old King of Ginseng was bought by my grandfather eight years ago by a pleasant coincidence. Ever since then, it’s been the signature treasure of our shop. I believe everyone here today has heard that its starting price is a hundred million. Thus, the bid increment cannot be less than a million dollars.” Hearing this, the crowd gasped. Altho

Bjorn staggered. He pointed at James and bellowed with rage, “Who the hell are you, kid? Why are you going against me?” James smirked. “I’m just a nobody. I did say that the highest bidder could have the King of Ginseng. If you want it, just raise the bid.” Hearing the exorbitant price, Thea quivered in fear. She pulled at James and gestured for him to stop. However, James was undaunted. “Fine, whatever.” Bjorn was so enraged that he smiled. He extended his shriveled arm and pointed at James, “Take it if you so desperately want it. I certainly hope this herb will extend your life span.” He uttered in a threatening tone. Everyone could see he was enraged. James was doomed. Bjorn stopped raising the bid. Christine had been watching from behind the auction block and remained silent. However, she had secretly informed Jay, who was in Cansington. After hearing about what was happening, Jay immediately tapped into the surveillance cameras at the venue. Upon witnessing

He was Augustus Xenos, a friend of Cyrus. A friend… in Cyrus’ eyes. To Augustus, Cyrus was a nobody. If Cyrus had not said he would introduce a beautiful lady to him, he would not have come. “Augustus, I’m not lying. My cousin’s strikingly beautiful. Although she’s married, her husband’s trash. They haven’t even slept on the same bed yet.” “I can vouch for that,” said David. “It’s true that my sister hasn’t slept with that useless James yet. However, many wealthy men are chasing her. Do you know the Watsons? Zavier Watson is going after her too. Let’s not forget the mysterious Mr. Caden. They’re extremely wealthy men. They’ve sent us luxury cars and villas worth hundreds of millions.” What David was trying to say was obvious. If you wished to pursue Thea, you had to prepare gifts equal in value to Mr. Watson’s and Mr. Caden’s. At that moment, the door opened. James and Thea walked in. Everyone in the room stood up. Cyrus hurriedly approached Thea and pulled her ov

“How much we pay isn’t the point. However, if we offend the Black Dragon, the Xenoses will be ruined. “It really is him… The Black Dragon General of the Southern Plains, the behind-the-scenes owner of Transgenerational, and the one behind the destruction of the Xaviers and the death of the Great Four’s leaders. “Back then at the House of Royals, I saw Zavier Watson kneeling before the Black Dragon with my own eyes.” Richard was a representative of North Cansington in the Five Provinces Business Alliance. He had a pretty good idea about who bought the Transgenerational New City. Hence, the moment he received Gavin’s call, his face turned pale. “That b*stard! I’ll kill him!” Richard stormed off to the Gastronome. At the Gastronome, Thea was drinking. She had drunk at least twenty glasses of wine and could not drink any further. Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Cyrus took out a wad of banknotes and tossed it at James. “Hey, trash. Take this and enjoy yourself. Aug
