Ch. 501..510
Chapter 501
How many people have sacrificed their lives for money since the beginning of time? How was James refusing his offer of ten billion dollars? “Does he have so much integrity that he’s indifferent to fame and fortune?”
He muttered to himself.
James left Transgenerational. He did not go home. Instead, he visited Henry at the military hospital.
Luther left as well.
Somewhere in a villa, Cansington.
“Miss, he turned it down.”
“What? He turned it down?” Cynthia was shocked, her voice reaching 80 decibels.
“Ten billion dollars and he turned it down just like that?”
“Exactly. I was thinking about it. We’re talking about ten billion dollars here. With his job at Transgenerational Group, his basic salary is a mere five thousand dollars. Coupled with a commission, he could earn a maximum of twenty thousand dollars monthly. Now that the Callahans are bankrupt, he needs the money. Why would he turn it down?” Luther could not fathom it either.
“Miss, do you think he doesn’t care about fame and fortune?” Cynthia looked at him.
“Are you stupid? Is there anyone on earth like that?” Luther thought about it. It was impossible. No one could resist the temptation of money.
After pondering for a few minutes, he said, “There’s only one possibility.”
“What?” Cynthia looked at him.
Luther broke it down. “He knows that the Dawns from the north are an influential family, and you’re a Dawn. I don’t think that he’s turning down the ten billion dollars. He’s just using this opportunity to try and ask for more.”
“Yes.”
Cynthia seemed lost in thought. It was highly likely. Immediately, she said, “Luther, let me remind you that he can cure me. Whether or not I live is entirely dependent on him. I don’t care how much money you give him, but you have to get him.”
Luther nodded, “I’ve notified your father. He’s put everything aside to make a trip to Cansington and should arrive before dark.”
James stayed with Henry in the hospital the entire afternoon. Henry was in relatively good shape compared to most, his body healing quite well Ever since he regained consciousness, he has been alert and aware. He wanted a cigarette though.
Whitney, who took care of him, refused to let him smoke. Only when James arrived did he get to smoke. It turned dark quickly. James left the military hospital to return to the Callahans’.
At the same time, the Dawns’ villa. With a team of bodyguards accompanying him, a middle-aged man walked in. Around 50 years old, he was rather beefy and had an overgrown beard, giving him a rugged appearance. Even though he looked wild, he was an influential man. He was the Overlord of the North.
With all the mines in the north under his control, he accumulated a vast fortune.
His operations included coal mines, gold mines, silver mines, and diamond mines. As long as the goods came from underground, he practically controlled it.
“Dad.”
Cynthia ran toward the rough-looking man and fell into his arms. “Haha… Cynthia.” Zane Dawn laughed heartily and picked Cynthia up. “Sir,” Luther addressed him respectfully. Zane put Cynthia down and asked, “Luther, the one who saved Cynthia. Who is he?”
Luther answered honestly, “His name is James Caden…”
He gave Zane a thorough report, even mentioning the current state of the Callahans and that James had turned down the check of ten billion dollars.
“Oh, is that so? There are still people who have the power to turn down ten billion dollars?” Zane looked surprised as well.
Cynthia pouted. “Dad, he saved me. I don’t care what you do, but I want him.”
Zane stroked her silky black hair and smiled. “Don’t you worry. I’ll get him for you.
“Luther.”
“Yes, sir?”
“Get in touch with the heads of the Xenoses and the Watsons and set up an appointment.”
“Yes, sir.” Luther made the arrangements immediately.
Chapter 502
James reached home. Lex and everyone else had finally left. Thea, on the other hand, had changed into a form–fitting dress. She had some light makeup on and even styled her hair. Her usual straight hair was now in curls and waves.
She was wearing a v-neck white dress. A delicate chain hung from her neck.
It complemented the smooth column of her fair neck well. James could not look away. James looked at Thea, unable to stop himself from asking, “Are you going out, darling?” Thea nodded.
“Yes, Xara wants to buy me a meal. Since she‘s helped us so much, it‘s only right to thank her in person.”
James had not eaten yet, so he smiled and asked, “Can I come along?”
“Why not?” Thea agreed.
“Alright then.” Since James got home, he had not even gotten a chance to sit down before he had to leave again. Both of them left the house together. James drove, leaving their area.
“Darling, where are we going?”
Thea said, “Joy Hotel.”
“Alright.” James tapped to open his navigation app and searched for Joy Hotel before heading over.
Joy Hotel was well known in Cansington. Even though it could not compare to The Gourmand, the prices at Joy were more affordable, which attracted a larger crowd in turn.
At the entrance of Joy Hotel.
A tall, lean woman was standing there.
She was about 170 to 180 centimeters tall, decked out in casualwear. With her black hair tied up in a ponytail, she looked young.
She was Xara.
Xara looked left and right.
Soon, she spotted James and Thea. She jogged over to them and grabbed Thea‘s hand. “Thea! James, you‘re here too!”
James smiled, “I heard that there was a free meal to enjoy. You don‘t mind, do you?”
“Of course not. I‘m happy you could make it!” Xara smiled.
Linking arms with Thea, Xara guided them into the hotel. “Come on, I’ve reserved a table for us. It’s peak hour now, so there are no more rooms available. I booked a table in the hall instead.”
“It doesn’t matter.” James waved his hand.
The three of them entered the hotel. The waiter guided them to their table. Xara picked up the menu and passed it to James. “What do you want to eat?”
He passed the menu to Thea instead, saying, “Darling, you pick.” Thea took it from him and ordered a few dishes before passing the menu back to Xara. Xara was the head of a department at Transgenerational. As her salary was generous, she ordered more dishes for them.
Thea looked grateful. “Xara, thank you. If it weren‘t for you, we would be on the streets.” Xara knew that this was coming. She smiled. “Don‘t mention it.” Sitting to the side, James did not say anything but listened to their conversation. Soon, the dishes were served. As James was starving, he started shoveling food into his mouth, not caring about what he looked like.
Halfway through the meal, a few young men dressed stylishly approached them. Xara recognized one of them. It was her admirer, Francis. Francis had been hounding her for a while now.
He seemed to know that she was having her meal here. As soon as he entered the hotel, he made a beeline for her.
Calling for his friends to make themselves comfortable at the table next to Xara‘s, he walked up to her. Grinning widely, he said, “What a coincidence, Xara! You‘re here too.” Xara frowned, “Why do I keep running into you everywhere I go? Francis, did you get someone to tail me?”
“Why would I do that?” Francis was defensive. “I swear I didn‘t. It‘s just a coincidence. Or maybe it’s fate.”
“Francis, who’s this beauty? Why don‘t you introduce us?” A handsome man stood up, looking at Xara He smiled and introduced himself.
“Hello, beautiful. I‘m Sean Bertrand. My father is Charles Bertrand. Our family owns Abundant Group.”
Chapter 503
Sean did not stop at introducing himself, even giving her a rundown of his family history.
Xara was unimpressed.
Francis smiled, saying, “Bro, she‘s Xara Hill, my girlfriend.”
Xara‘s face darkened. “Get over yourself, Francis. No one‘s your girlfriend here.”
“You might not be my girlfriend now, but one day you will be.” Francis was shameless. He said breezily, “Sooner or later, you‘ll be my girlfriend.”
“Yo, isn‘t this Thea Callahan?”
Spotting Thea, Sean‘s eyes lit up.
For a short while, Thea had been famous in Cansington.
First, she was known as the most beautiful woman in Cansington. Then, everyone mocked her for having a useless husband. After that, she got engaged to Zavier Watson but broke it off. As a result, the Watsons took revenge on her family and caused them to go bankrupt. Now, they were nobodies.
Sean‘s gaze lingered on Thea, giving her a slow once–over. He looked satisfied. “Thea, I’ve heard that your family has gone bankrupt. You have a lot of debt to pay. Why don‘t you come enjoy some drinks with me, and I‘ll pay you a few million dollars?”
“Haha…”
The other men laughed.
“Sean, Thea is no longer worth millions. She should be grateful even if you pay her a couple hundred to share a meal with you.” “Even if you sleep with her, she has no right to ask for a large sum.”
“Thea, why don‘t you sleep with me? I‘ll give you thirty thousand dollars. What do you think?”
The few of them teased her cruelly.
Thea looked somber.
Xara looked at Francis and his friends angrily. “Get lost.”
James, who was eating, put his spoon down and dabbed his mouth with the napkin on the table. He got to his feet without a word.
“Honey, what are you doing?” Thea grabbed him, saying, “They can say whatever they want to. All we have to do is pretend that we didn‘t hear. Don‘t get into any more trouble.”
Thea was familiar with James’ temper. Anytime he heard something he disagreed with, he became violent. He had beat up enough people and stirred up enough trouble to last. The Callahans were in trouble because of him. James stood and looked at Francis, Sean, and the others. He walked up to them, grabbing
Francis’ collar and lifting him up. He threw Francis a few meters away, where he fell to the ground and moaned in pain.
After that, he pulled Sean‘s hair and smashed his head against the wall.
Sean started bleeding immediately, his vision graying James let go of Sean and started kicking
The rest of them were sent flying
James was quick, accurate, and ruthless.
The few men collapsed in a matter of seconds.He capped his hands and sat down, smiling at Thea, who had a stony expression on her face.” Much more peaceful now.”
“James, what did you do? Didn‘t I tell you to stay out of trouble?” Thea turned pale.
They were all powerful people. Especially Sean, who was Charles Bertrand‘s son. Abundant Group was only second to Celestial and Longevity in Cansington. Just then, the hotel‘s security guards rushed over. A cold voice demanded, “Who‘s stirring up trouble?”
Accompanying the security guards was a man in a suit.
Francis, Sean, and their friends had gotten to their feet.
Sean pressed his hand to his head, which came away with blood. Furiously, he roared, “Mr. Rivers, break his leg.”
The inanager of Joy Hotel was a man named Dominic Rivers, who ordered, “Do it.”
Several guards brandished their electric batons, fighting to get to James first.
Jatnes slammed his hand onto the table and vaulted over it. He kicked the first two people who were brafest. They fell to the ground, moaning in pain.
Then, he attacked
How could any of the security guards be a match for him?
Within a minute, all of them were lying on the ground in pain
Jatnes looked untethered
He was just here to enjoy a meal. Why did everyone insist on provoking his wife?
James, you piece of lasia You’re dead. Sean grabbed some napkins and pressed them to his head He pointed at Jagies, saying inetickingly, “You’re in big trouble now. You’re in big trouble now.
Chapter 504
Dominic looked at the security guards sprawled on the floor. He was furious.
“You brat. You‘re dead. No matter where you’re from, you’re dead as soon as you cause trouble at Joy Hotel.”
With that, he made a call.
“Boss, someone is causing trouble at the hotel. It‘s James Caden, the son–in–law of the Callahans.”
As it was peak hour then, the hotel was full of diners. With the sudden commotion, all of them fled, worried they would get into trouble too. Only a few of the braver ones lingered to watch from a distance. Some of them even recorded the incident with their phones. Thea looked helpless and hopeless. James was a great guy but he loved violence a little too much. She knew he was protecting her, but beating people up was not the way. It even got her family into trouble.
If James had not acted at the Watsons‘, her family would not be in this situation.
On the other hand, Xara looked completely relaxed.
She knew that James was the Black Dragon.
Even though he had resigned, he was still the true owner of Transgenerational Group. These people were just a few good–for–nothings who came from wealthy families. James could care less about them. The owner of Joy Hotel was Zack Xenos. Today, an important man from the north was coming to see the heads of the Xenoses and the Watsons. On the third floor of the hotel.
Richard Xenos, the current head of the Watsons Yoseph, and the owner of Joy Hotel Zack sat in a row.
The three of them faced a man who was rough around the edges with an impressive beard.
A beautiful woman in a black dress sat next to him. They were Zane and Cynthia Dawn. Behind them stood Luther. Xane looked at the Watsons and Xenoses. Carelessly, he said, “I heard that you went up against the Callahans and caused them to go bankrupt.”
Richard frowned.
Why was someone as important as he asking about this matter?
The current head of the Watsons Yoseph wore a murderous expression. Coldly, he said, “The Callahans got what they deserved. My brother’s blood is on their hands. My nephew is still in the hospital, wheelchair–bound for the rest of his life. This is just the beginning. I will kill each member of the Callahans slowly.”
Zane did not expect the feud between the Callahans and the Watsons to be this complicated,
He was meeting these families hoping to resolve their issues, thinking of helping James out since he saved her daughter.
“The son–in–law of the Callahans James saved my daughter once. Could you let the matter go as a favor?”
Zane stated the purpose of his visit. Richard‘s face darkened. “Zane, who are you to James?”
“Oh?”
Zane‘ was curious. He said, “I don‘t know anything. Why don‘t you tell me?” Richard said, “He‘s the Black Dragon who lost his position. When he was still the Black Dragon, he used his power to subdue the Five Provinces Business Alliance and bought Transgenerational New City at a very low price.” Yoseph nodded and added, “James has caused too much trouble for my family. It won‘t be easy to let all of this go.”
Zane finally caught on.
“So he‘s the Black Dragon. Legend has it that his strength is unparalleled and his medical skills are second to none. All of it is true. No wonder he doesn‘t care about the ten billion dollars. He‘s the owner of Transgenerational!”
Cynthia was shocked as well.She did not expect her savior to be the Black Dragon. The former General of the Southern Plains. Was he not dead?
Did he not die at Mount Thunder Pass just beyond the Southern Plains? A few days ago, the country mourned for him.
How was he still alive?
After learning James‘ true identity, Zane found himself in a pickle. This was a difficult issue to resolve. If it were him, he would fight James to the death as well. If this was an everyday issue, he was certain that he could resolve it.
However, this ran too deep. Even though he was relatively powerful in the north, the Five Provinces Business Alliance was meddlesome as well.
He got lost in his thoughts.
After a while, he asked, “Gentlemen, how can we resolve this peacefully?” “No way.” “Impossible.” Yoseph and Richard spoke simultaneously. “I see. In that case, forget that I ever dropped by.” Zane did not say anything else but stood up. “Let‘s go.”
Just then, Zack received a phone call. “Alright, got it.”
After he hung up, he said, “Dad, someone‘s causing trouble at the hotel.” “Oh, who is it?” Richard asked. Zack looked at Zane who was about to leave, hesitating. Finally, he said, “It‘s James.” Smack!
Richard slammed his hand onto the table and stood up. “B*stard. I haven‘t even taken any action yet, and he‘s here causing trouble at my hotel. Let‘s go see what‘s going on.” Zane frowned as he heard the conversation. Cynthia tugged on Zane‘s arm. “Dad, you promised that James would be my personal doctor.” Zane was conflicted. If it were anyone else, he would be able to convince them. However, this was the Black Dragon, the former General of the Southern Plains and one of Sol‘s Five Commanders.
–
Even though he had resigned, he was still the owner of Transgenerational Group. Why would he listen to Zane?
Chapter 505
“Cynthia…”
“I don‘t care. I don‘t care!” Cynthia started to wall.
“Alright, let‘s go down and take a look.”
On the first floor James looked at Sean, Francis, and the hotel manager Dominic. He said, “I‘m looking forward to seeing how you finish me off.”
“I‘m sorry.”
Thea stepped forward, an apologetic look on her face. She bowed deeply and apologized.
“Mr. Leland, Mr. Bertrand, I‘m sorry. Please accept my apology on behalf of James.”
“Darling, what are you doing?” James yanked Thea back, an annoyed look on his face.
“Why are you apologizing? It‘s them who should be sorry.”
Sean said coldly, “Did you think an apology would be enough, Thea? Let me tell you. This isn‘t over. I will not rest until James is dead.”
Just then, a group of people walked down the stairs. Dominic hurried over to Zack at once, pointing at the security guards on the floor and then at James. “It‘s him, boss. The son–in–law of the Callahans, James.”
Thea‘s face changed again as she saw who approached.
It was over.
The Watsons and the Xenoses were still hell–bent on revenge, and they had stepped on the Xenoses‘ toes once more.
Dead. They were dead.
James spotted them as well.
The Xenoses had shown up before he even had to go to them. Today, he was going to solve the Callahans‘ problems once and for all.
“Darling, go home.”
“What? How can I leave now?” Thea was so worried she almost burst into tears. She started to bend her knees, planning to kneel and apologize to the Xenoses. James grabbed her and pulled her up forcefully. He said, “Xara, take Thea home.”
“Got it.” Xara nodded She knew James’ true identity. There was nothing to be concerned about.
“Let’s go, Thea”
She grabbed Thea and started walking off. “James…” Thea called.
James smiled at her. “Go on. I‘ll be fine.”
The Xenoses did not stop them either, letting Xara leave with Thea.
Zack looked at the security guards who had just shown up. He said, “Get all the customers out. The hotel will pay for everything today.” The guards started shepherding people out at once. Cynthia rushed over and grabbed James‘ arm, her face one of gratitude.
“We meet again! You’re the former General of the Southern Plains, the Black Dragon! I‘m a fan!”
James pushed Cynthia‘s hand off his.
“Girl, do I know you? I‘m a married man. Watch yourself.” Cynthia could care less. “Mr. Caden.”
Zane approached with his hand outstretched. “It‘s nice to meet you. I’m Cynthia‘s father. All thanks to you today, otherwise Cynthia…” James waved his hand carelessly. “Don‘t mention it.” “James…”
Yoseph gritted his teeth, staring at James with hatred in his eyes. James looked at him, asking, “And who are you?”
Yoseph articulated each word carefully. “Yoseph Watson. Gavin was my brother, and Zavier is my nephew.”
“Oh.”
James gave a monosyllabic reply. “You’re the Watsons. I was going to pay you and the Xenoses a visit, but you saved me the trouble. Since we‘re all here, let‘s solve this once and for all.”
For the past few days, the Watsons and the Xenoses had been hounding the Callahans.
James was planning to solve these issues after the medical conference.
However, as fate would have it, he could solve it now.
The tension was thick in the air.
Zane stepped forward and tried to counsel them. “Gentlemen, could we solve this peacefully?”
“No.”
James was the first to answer. He stepped forward as well.
Immediately, he grabbed Yoseph and lifted him off the ground, roaring, “If there‘s anything you’re unhappy about, come at me. Why involve the Callahans?”
He raised Yoseph and threw him a few meters away,
Yoseph fell to the ground hard, moaning in pain.
Before the guards could do anything, James had knocked Zack and Richard to the ground.
Finally, the guards responded and attacked James.
However, they were no match for him within a minute, everyone in the hotel was on the ground.
Only a few people were left standing
He glanced at everyone on the floor. Coldly, he said, “If you come at me, I‘ll play your game. If you go after the Callahans and my wife, don‘t blame me for what happens next. Rescind the kill order on the Callahans, or you‘ll be dead tomorrow.”
James lifted his arm. Silver needles shot out. They found their marks in Yoseph, Zack, and Richard. All of them moaned in pain on the ground. James smiled at Zane. “See you around.” After that, he turned and left.
Chapter 506
Everyone at Joy Hotel was on the ground, moaning in pain. Zane, Cynthia, and Luther were the only ones left standing.
“Impressive.” Luther took a deep breath.
“I‘ve heard so many things about the Black Dragon. He lives up to his reputation indeed.” “I know,” Zane said. “That was very impressive. The Black Dragon‘s strength is unparalleled and his medical skills are second to none.”
“Dad.” Cynthia looked at Zane with wide eyes.
Zane looked resigned. “He‘s the Black Dragon. What can I do? Come on, let‘s go home.”
Outside the hotel.
Thea refused to leave.
She knew what James was capable of. None of them would be a match for him. She was worried that he would cause more trouble for her family.
Just as she was wringing her hands, James walked out. A cigarette hung from his mouth. With his hands in his pockets, he looked completely relaxed. “Honey...” Thea rushed over, asking worriedly, “Are you alright?” James smiled. “Did you think anything would happen to me? Let‘s go home.” “Did–Did you hit anyone?”
“What‘s all this about hitting people? We live in a society where laws are in place. I discussed it with them. They‘re civilized people, so they listened to me. It‘s alright now,” James said carelessly.
Thea did not believe him. She insisted on going in to take a look.
“What’s there to see? Let‘s go home.”
James grabbed Thea as he bid Xara goodbye. “Xara, I trust you can find your way home.”
“Bye Thea, bye James.”
Xara waved,
James guided Thea to the parking lot nearby and drove home. On the way back, she interrogated him. James kept insisting, “Don‘t worry, I didn‘t hit anyone.” Hearing him say that, Thea was relieved. After James left, everyone was sent to the hospital. At the same time, the Watsons, Xenoses, Lelands, and Bertrands gathered at the hospital.
“Mr Xenos‘ condition isn‘t looking too good. Some of his bodily functions are deteriorating at an astonishing speed. Based on his current condition, he only has a week to live.” “Mr. Watson isn‘t doing well either. Some of his organs have begun to shut down.”
As soon as the families heard what the doctor had to say, they flew into a rage.
“James must die.” “My uncle is dead because of him. My cousin is still in the ICU. Now, he‘s attacked my dad. I‘ll never rest if I don‘t kill him.”
Both the families swore to kill James.
They launched into a discussion immediately.
In the end, they decided to use the law against him. James was no longer the Black Dragon. The cameras recorded all his actions at Joy Hotel. Not wasting any time, they made a police report immediately. The police went to the hotel and gathered evidence. Once they had solid proof, they made their way to the Callahans‘ to arrest James.
James was home.
Gladys and Benjamin, who were at the hospital to visit David, had returned.
Alyssa had stayed behind to care for David. All of them were sitting in the house.
Knock knock knock
Someone knocked on the door.
Thea opened it.
She was stunned.
Fully–armed policemen stood at the door, holding up their guns and badges. A middle–aged policeman showed her an arrest warrant. Coldly, he said, “This is an arrest warrant. Is James Caden at home?”
“Ah, yes. Yes, he is.”
Terrified, Thea kept nodding. “Let’s go.”
The middle-aged policeman gave an order,
A group of policemen rushed in.
As soon as they saw the police, Gladys and Benjamin raised their arms.
James, sitting on the couch smoking, frowned as he saw the police.
“James Caden, you’re suspected of causing deliberate injury to multiple parties. Please comes with us to assist in investigations.”
As the middle-aged policeman said that, a few policemen rushed over, pointing their guns at James.
Chapter 507
James stood. As he stood up, the policemen backed away involuntarily. Before making the trip, they had seen him in action. He was a ruthless, dangerous man. James put out his arms.
A few policemen approached him with handcuffs, cuffing his hands together. “Take him away.”
James was taken away.
Thea started crying.
When she saw the police, she was shocked. Then she realized that James must have beaten someone up at the hotel.
“Honey…”
She looked at James, who was now in handcuffs. Her eyes welled with tears.
James stopped and looked at her. He smiled. “Don‘t worry. Go to Common Clinic tomorrow morning and look for May. There‘s a sword hidden beneath the bed in a secret compartment. Get May to bring the sword to the police station.” James left after that.
“Boo hoo...”
Thea cried her heart out.
At the police station.
In the interrogation room. James was cuffed. There were two police in front of him. One of them was male, the other female. They looked relatively young, probably in their twenties.
The policewoman held a pen. She turned it over and over again before slamming her palm onto the table. She roared, “James Caden, do you still not admit it?” James merely smiled. “What am I admitting to?”. The policewoman said, “What were you doing at Joy Hotel tonight at eight p.m.?” “Oh, is that what you‘re asking?” James said carelessly. “I taught a few people a lesson with my hands.”
The policeman made a note immediately. The policewoman asked, “What did you do? Walk us through it.” James made a few movements, “Just like that, they all toppled to the ground. I hadn‘t even used any strength yet. They‘re so weak. Hey, you guys. I advise you to let me go as soon as possible.” “Hmph.”
The policewoman said coldly, “James, do you know who you attacked? You attacked the Watsons, the Xenoses, and the Bertrands. You‘re done for. Get ready to spend the rest of your life behind bars.”
James just smiled. After the interrogation, he was taken to the lock–up. The police got in touch with the Xenoses and the Watsons, informing them that they had arrested James and asking about their next course of action.
Both the families agreed to let James spend the rest of his life behind bars.
As long as he was in jail, it would be easy to stage an accident.
Both the families requested to sue James as well.
Based on the evidence they had, James had no escape.
That night, James slept soundly in the lock–up.
Thea, on the other hand, did not sleep at all.
Early in the morning, she left the house for Common Clinic and located May.
Thea cried, saying, “James has been arrested. He told me to get you and mentioned a sword in the clinic. It‘s in a secret compartment beneath the bed, and he wants you to take it to the police station.”
May was confused Sword? What sword? She went to the back room and lifted the mattress. She discovered a long box, opening it up to reveal a piece of black cloth.
She took it out.
It was wrapped around a sword. She unwrapped it.
What?
May was stunned.
Was this the Blade of Justice?
As she used to be an assassin, she was knowledgeable, having had to learn many things.
She knew that Sol had the Blade of Justice.
In every dynasty, this sword represented the highest authority. After Sol was set up, the sword got passed down as well. It was the highest authority in Sol, and no law could override it.
May knew that this sword had fallen into the hands of the General of the Black Dragon Army several years ago. When the previous Black Dragon died in battle, the King of Sol took the sword back. When James was made general, the king gave the Blade of Justice to him. with the Blade of Justice, no one could touch James.
Chapter 508
When she saw the sharp sword, May‘s heart beat faster.
It was the Blade of Justice.
The very same which represented Sol‘s law. The sword had the power to put anyone on trial,
Only one person had the power to wield this sword.
It was James
Even though James had resigned, the sword was still his. “Wh–what is this?” Thea looked at the sword in May‘s hand, unable to stop herself from asking
“N–nothing.” May shook her head, quickly replacing the sword in its case and wrapping it up with the black cloth.
Saving James with the sword was out of the question. She knew enough to understand what the sword represented. It was the law. It had the power to try those who had escaped the law or those above it.
The very existence of the sword was a legend.
When Sol was still in its infantry, several generals petitioned to get rid of the sword, worried that it would be too powerful.
However, the king decided to keep it. May knew that if she used the sword to save James, it would go against everything the sword represented. They would be in trouble if someone caught wind of it.
“Don‘t worry, Thea. I‘ll come up with an idea to save James.”
She returned the sword to its original spot.
Only the Blithe King could save James now.
Once the sword was safely tucked away, she said, “Go home, Thea. I’m going out.”
With that, she left
She drove toward the military area but was stopped there.
She had no choice but to call Henry and explain things.
Henry was awake
He heaved a sigh of relief. The police arrested James. So what? It was of no consequence.
Carelessly, he said, “Don’t worry about it. James may have resigned, but he was the Black Dragon He fought tor our country. Also, he has the Blade of Justice, so he’ll be fine. It’s a symbol of acknowledginent from the King of Sol.”
“Henry, we’re talking about the Blade of Justice. It’s Sol’s highest law. It’s used against criminals, not for saving one’s own skin James is in big trouble right now. We don’t know how many people have eyes on him. If we use the Blade of justice, we’ll be revealing our hand,” May analyzed the situation. “It’s better if we let the Blithe King handle it. I‘m at the entrance of the military area, but I‘ve been stopped.”
Henry thought about it and agreed with May. It was better to be safe than sorry,
He called the Blithe king.
As soon as the Blithe King found out, he invited May into the military area at once.
In the Blithe King‘s office in the military area.
May gave him a thorough report.
with a serious expression, the Blithe king said, “It‘s not a good time to use the Blade of Justice. It‘s the stuff of legend. If he uses it to save himself, he will be revealing everything People in the Capital might petition to revoke the Blade of Justice, James will lose everything,”
“Commander, you have to save James.”
The Blithe King waved his hand, “I know what to do. Go home.” “Yes, sir.”
May turned to leave.
The Blithe King issued an order to investigate everything about James‘ arrest.
Soon, he had his answer.
It was best he kept out of sight, so he arranged for Daniel to drop by the hospital and pay the Watsons and Xenoses a visit. As soon as the Blithe King commanded it, Daniel changed into plain clothes and headed to the hospital.
At a ward in the hospital. Yoseph lay on the bed, an inch from death. He was only forty–five years old, but he looked years older than his age. Within a night, his hair had turned white. The Watsons were frantic with worry. Someone walked in, saying, “Mr. Watson, Daniel Highsmith from the military is requesting a meeting.” “L–let him in,” Yoseph said, his voice weaker than ever.
Chapter 509
Daniel entered He glanced at Yoseph lying on the bed and minced no words. “The Watsons had James arrested. Based on the video clip alone, could you be sure that James is guilty? You know who he is. This is but a small obstacle for him. My advice is for you to let it go.”
“G–general Highsmith, James has caused so much trouble for my family. How could I let it go?” Yoseph said weakly, his face full of rage. Carelessly, Daniel said, “To get James arrested, would you sacrifice your life? James‘ medical skills are the best. No one will be able to save you now that he‘s poisoned you. You only have a few days left. Consider it carefully. If you choose to let it go, I‘ll be able to help you and put in a good word to James. At the same time, I advise you to stop going after the Callahans.”
Yoseph thought about it. James was incredible.
Even modern medicine was unable to cure him.
He wanted James dead, but he did not want to die. “As a favor to you, I‘ll forget about it. As long as James cures me, I‘ll stay away from the Callahans as well.” Daniel turned to leave.
He went to see Richard instead.
He told Richard the same thing he told Yoseph. Richard was afraid of dying as well.
He did not want to lose his life just like that.
After careful consideration, he decided to let the whole thing slide, as long as James cured him.
Thanks to Daniel, the matter was resolved.
At the lock-up at the police station.
James was still fast asleep.
Footsteps echoed outside. The grill creaked open. “James...”
Daniel walked in
James awoke, getting up from the wooden bed. When he saw Daniel, he frowned. “General Highsmith?”
Daniel smiled. “The Blithe King has been notified of recent incidents. He thinks you should save the Blade of Justice for a more dire situation. If you use it now, you would be able to escape, but people will be shouting about it and petition to revoke the sword.”
James yawned.
He needed a cigarette. “Give me a cigarette.”
Daniel quickly produced one, lit it, and passed it to James.
Then, he said, “I‘ve convinced the Watsons and Xenoses to let the whole thing go, and they will stop going after the Callahans as well. You‘re free to go now, but James, could you be merciful and let the Xenoses and Watsons go as well?”
James puffed on his cigarette. “I never wanted to butt heads with them. If they stop going after the Callahans, I‘ll forgive them this time.” “This way then, James.”
Daniel gestured respectfully.
James left.
Daniel took him to the hospital.
With a few silver needles, he cured Yoseph and Richard, allowing them to live.
After that, he said carefully, “Let me make myself clear. You best deal with me if there‘s anything you‘re unhappy about. Don‘t you dare go after my wife or her family. Gavin and Zavier are just the first examples. Repeat the same mistake again and I won‘t be so kind.”
James turned to leave.
After he left the hospital, he had Daniel take him home.
At the Callahans‘.
Thea was pacing worriedly. Knock knock knock
Someone was knocking at the door.
She rushed over to open it. When she saw James, she fell into his arms and started crying.” Honey, you‘re home. You‘re home!”
James put an arm around her and smiled. “I told you there‘s nothing to worry about. Oh, the medical conference starts today. All the doctors are gathered at Medical Street now. Let‘s go check it out and nab the title of “The Best Doctor‘!”
“James, you piece of trash! What did you do yesterday?” Gladys’ angry voice reverberated through the house.
Chapter 510
Gladys approached him with her hands on her hips, saying, “Be honest, or don‘t ever think about setting foot in this house again.” James looked insigned. “Mom, it was nothing. The police made a mistake. If I had done something wrong, do you think they‘d release me after just one night?” “Are you sure.” Gladys still had her reservations,
She was territied when she saw what happened yesterday
Confidently, James said, “I promise everything‘s okay. Also, a lot is going on at Medical Street today. Do you want to come, mom?” “I‘ll pass.”
How could she be interested after this?
So much had happened recently, and David was still in the hospital.
“Come in and we‘ll talk about it.” Thea pulled James into the house and shut the door behind him.
James entered and sat on the couch. He looked at Benjamin. “Dad, do you want to go?”
Benjamin was intrigued.
Rumor had it this particular medical conterence was even more liappening than usual. There were many famous doctors in attendance, including international ones.
He glanced at Gladys and shook his head. “I don‘t think so.”
James did not say anything else. He looked at Thea and said, “Darling, go get changed. We‘ll head down to Medical Street.”
“Okay.”
Thea went to her room.
James took a cigarette out and started smoking again.
Knock knock knock
Someone knocked on the door again.
Gladys said, “James, go get the door.” James obeyed When he saw Lex, he could not help asking, “Grandfather?”
Lex walked in and held onto James‘ hand tightly, his face full of gratitude. “James, thank you. Thank you!”
James smiled.
Gladys walked up to them, confusion clear on her face. “Dad, what‘s going on? It‘s too early to say thanks. What did this piece of trash do?”
Emotionally, Lex said, “The court just called. They have listed the ban on our villa, and all our assets have been released. We don‘t even have to pay our debt anymore!”
“Oh.”
Gladys still looked confused. She looked at James, asking, “And what does this have to do with James?”
Lex was stunned. “It‘s all thanks to James, isn‘t it?” “Is it?” Gladys looked at James.
James rubbed his nose and nodded. “That‘s right.”
Howard, John, and the rest of the family had come with Lex as well.
None of them believed that James had solved all their problems.
If James were that powerful, the Watsons and Xenoses would not have come after them. Tommy cut James a glare, looking disdainful. “James, stop boasting. If you solved our problems, then let me ask you. How did you do it?”
Everyone looked at James.
James chuckled. “I beat the Watsons and Xenoses up. Pain is a great motivator. All I did was threaten them with death if they came after you.”
As he spoke, he made a few gestures.
“Ha ha ha... I did that, and that, and all the bodyguards went down.”
“Hmph.”
Tommy looked disdainful.
He did not believe a word out of James‘ mouth.
The Watsons and Xenoses were influential, powerful families. There was no way they‘d be afraid of James.
No one believed James.
Lex had assumed that James solved their problems since he had taken care of their accommodation and Montgomery. Now that he thought about it, maybe James had nothing to do with this at all
“Grandfather, uncles...”
Thea emerged from her room with a fresh change of clothes. She asked, “Why are you here?”
jalnes siniled “The Wal sons and Xenoses have let us go. The court has also reinstated all your businesses and freed all your assets. Your problems are officially solved.”
“Ah, really?”
Thea was overjoyed Happily, she asked, “What happened? How could this have been resolved in a night?” Gladys asked, “Thea, where did you go with James last night, and what did you do?”
