The Callahans gathered. “Thea, have you thought of anything yet? The court summon is already here, and the trial will begin tomorrow morning. The Xenoses are getting the money back via legal means.” David wore a worried expression. Thea had been out for the whole day. He wondered if she had gotten the money. Thea’s face was pale. Her exquisite face was devoid of emotions. Like an emotionless robot, she sat there without moving. Slam! At that moment, the Callahans’ front door was kicked open. Maximus along with his men stormed into the house. Appalled, the Callahans stood up. Maximus brought his men in and sat on the sofa. Meanwhile, the Callahans stood by the side with horrified expressions. Maximus glanced at them and said with a mischievous grin, “Have you prepared the money?” Thud! David knelt on the floor immediately and pleaded, “Please, give me a few more days! My sister has been trying to get the money by sleeping with rich men. I’ll have the money read

“Understood.” His men went to the basement and brought the badly injured David up. Zavier stood up and said, “You may get the money from the Watsons’ residence. I’ll take him from here. I hope that’s fine with you.” “Not a problem. I trust you.” “Need an IOU?” Maximus handed an IOU to Zavier. Zavier then handed it to Thea. Thea said gratefully, “T-Thank you.” Zavier lightly waved. “Drop the formalities. We’re gonna be family soon. Quick, bring your brother to the hospital. I’ll be making the arrangements. Let’s get engaged tomorrow.” “Ah? S-So soon?” Thea was stunned. She then said, “B-But, I haven’t divorced James yet.” Zavier smiled. “It’s alright. You can divorce him after we get engaged.” Zavier wanted to tell her that James was the Black Dragon and had died on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder Pass. However, after brief contemplation, he chose to remain silent. Thea would soon be his woman. He did not want her to feel miserable. Thea fell silent. After a l

Seeing James get off the plane alongside an unconscious Henry, the Blithe King momentarily froze. Then, he walked over to them and hugged James. “I knew you’d be alright. You scared me. I thought you died at Mt. Thunder Pass.” James smiled slightly and said, “I’m still young. Besides, I have such a beautiful wife waiting for me at home. How could I die so easily?” “Still have time for jokes? I heard your wife’s getting engaged to someone else.” Hearing this, James’ face darkened. The Blithe King hurriedly changed the subject, “What happened to Black Shadow?” James replied, “He got into an accident. Bring him to the military hospital immediately and have men watch over him round the clock. Notify me if anything happens.” “Understood.” The Blithe King nodded and immediately ordered, “Send the Black Shadow General to the military hospital now.” Saying that, he put his arms around James’ shoulder. “What happened exactly? Why would you go to Mt. Thunder Pass after arrivi

James had returned from the Southern Plains. After making sure of Henry’s condition in the military region and finding out about Thea and Zavier’s engagement, he hurriedly made his way to the Watsons’ villa. As it was only eleven in the morning, he still had time. Many people had gathered in the courtyard of the Watsons’ villa, and they were in a festive mood. James’ appearance attracted the crowd’s attention. “Isn’t that Thea’s husband, James?” “Why is he here?” “Didn’t he divorce Thea?” “He’s probably here to get some money out of Zavier.” They covertly discussed. Wearing a surly expression, James walked toward the front door. A few security guards immediately blocked his path. One of them took an electric baton out and pointed it at James. He barked, “Hey, do you know where you are? What makes you think you can enter as you please? Get lost!” James looked at the security guard. His gaze was fierce. The security guard felt as if he was being stared down by a

Zavier collapsed. Thump! A loud sound came from the stage. Everyone was dumbfounded. “James…” A cold voice came. Gavin, who was in a suit, headed toward James. Enraged, he glared at James. James returned the glare. “Hmph.” James turned to leave. “Stop him!” Gavin roared. In an instant, a dozen security guards surrounded James. There were even members of the police force among them. They blocked James’ path. “Standing in my way?” James’ face darkened. “Let go of Thea, you trash!” Gladys exclaimed. “Haven’t you brought enough shame to us already? Get out of my sight this instant!” James paid no attention to her. Seeing the number of security guards and police, Thea was worried. She gripped James’ hand and whispered, “Y-You should leave, James. They’re rich and powerful. There’s no way you can beat them.” “Leave?” James looked at her and said, “Leave my wife behind?” “I…” Thea’s voice trembled. She did not expect things to turn out this way. G
