Nevertheless, James was a Black Dragon. To him, cowering to evil for survival was worse than being dead.Back when he was covered in wounds, almost defeated by the enemy, he did not kneel.When he married Thea and became the son-in-law of the Callahan family, he swore to never let Thea feel sad again.“He was the one who insulted Thea, so he should be apologizing,” James said while pointing at Tommy. “Thea had nothing to do with Alex. Alex only chose to work with the Celestial Group because he owes me a favor for saving his life on the battlefield.”James wanted to shield Thea from the insults, but he could not let them know his real identity.Everybody was shocked to learn the truth.James continued, “If you want an invitation to the Blithe King’s coronation ceremony, I can get one. However, I hope you will stop insulting Thea. Let’s go, Thea.”After that, he left with Thea’s hand in his, not even looking back.He knew as long as Thea was here, she would continue being the pun

Although he was at the same level as the Blithe King, James never took him seriously.The same went for the four other commanders-in-chief.“Hold on.” The Blithe King stopped him from leaving.“Huh?” James looked back. “Anything else?”“Trent was my subordinate.” The Blithe King was quite angry. The murderer of his former subordinate did not even give him an excuse as to why he was killed.“So what?” James only had apathy.“Mind explaining why?”“I told you, he deserved it. Also, I’m not begging you for an invitation. You can choose not to give me one.”James left.A man walked out of the dark after James was out of sight.“He really doesn’t give a damn about you.”The Blithe King laughed it off, and said, “That’s how he is. He wouldn’t act any different even if Jesus came to Earth. Let this go. Trent deserved his death. You, go deliver an invitation to the Callahans.”The man felt reluctant and asked, “Sir, you’re letting him go just like this?”The Blithe King replied, “

“The Oswalds are the best.”“That goes without saying. Their business, Grandeur Pharmaceuticals, is one of the biggest in Cansington. Colson’s father Stefon Oswald is a social butterfly. He has a lot of connections.”“Thank god Colson is with us, or else we would never get an invitation.”“Megan got herself the right boyfriend. Look at how he’s helping her family.”The Callahans were flattering Colson, almost making him trippy. “It’s just a small contribution.”Just when everybody was bathing in the celebratory mood over getting an invitation, James and Thea entered the house, followed by Gladys, Benjamin, David, and Alyssa.Their presence made the atmosphere drop to a low.Megan stood up, rather bothered. “What are you doing here?”Thea called, “Megan, sis…”Megan screeched and berated her, “Don’t regard me as your family.”Lex’s wonderful mood was spoiled by seeing Thea’s family in his mansion, especially when he saw James, this arrogant son-in-law that dared to disrespect

“Hm?”“Buy that newly built trade center in Cansington.”“What?”Henry stared at James in shock.The Trade City Center was a newly built trade center. In it, there were over 50 buildings that were 50 floors tall, as well as a night market, a pedestrian zone, and an antique street.The Trade City Center was complete. It was a joint effort from several real estate tycoons to turn it into the grandest trade center in the country.“What? Do we not have enough money? Then use our connections to do so.”Henry stared at James. “Just what are you planning, boss?” he could not help but ask. “We have around two hundred billion if we added our funds together, but do you know how big that trade center is? Just the land it’s built on is worth a fortune! I heard the real estate tycoons invested around five hundred billion into the place. It took them five years to finish construction.”James did not care for the details. “Just tell me how much it’s going to cost.”Henry thought about it. “W

Rowena’s expression darkened. She finally knew who destroyed her family.“What the hell do you want, James?”“Haha…”James started laughing, but there was no humor in it. His laughter was terrifying.“You’re asking me what I want, Rowena?“You’re the reason my grandfather was falsely accused and turned into the laughingstock of the entire town.“You’re the one that caused my father to have a heart attack, then pushed him off the third floor and lied to everyone that he committed suicide.“You, and the rest of The Great Four, tied my entire family up and set fire to our home. You killed more than thirty people, and you’re asking me what I want?!”James was like a tiger that had escaped its cage. Bloodlust emanated from him.He roared, making Rowena’s ears ring and stunning her.She was afraid now. She had never been so scared.Rowena was a smart woman. James killed her father and brother, but the news about it had been suppressed. She knew the man standing before her was no l
