James was driven speechless by the situation. Drying laundry? His deadly needle weapon, the
Crucifier, was used to dry laundry?
This was a weapon he obtained ten years ago that contributed to his mysterious medical skills. The
crucifier consisted of eighty-one very special needles that formed a steel wire.
James went to the balcony.
His steel wire was hanging on the balcony with several pieces of underwear on it. James’ eyebrow
twitched out of incredulity. He took off the underwear and took down the Crucifier.
The steel wire made of silver needles seemed to come to life and instantly wrapped around James’
arms.
Thea suddenly emerged from the inside.
“By the way, what do you need the steel wire for on a business trip? It’s such a neat little tool to have
around the house.”
James smiled again and said nothing in response to her question.
“Darling, it’s getting late. I need to report to the company right now.” He went back to his room, took out
a black trenchcoat from his closet, and put it on.
“Travel safe, daring.” Thea wished her husband. “Thanks.” James turned and left. Gone was the smile
he had earlier on his face. Now it was replaced with a cheerless expression
He took out his phone and immediately contacted the Blithe King.
“Blithe King, get me a private plane right now. I need to go to the Southern Plains.” The Blithe King was
about to ask what business he had in the Southern Plains, but James had already hung up the phone.
A few moments later.
Cansington Military Region, open field. A helicopter was parked.
In front of the helicopter stood a young man in a black trench coat and a middle-aged man in a military
uniform.
The Blithe King asked, “Why are you going to the Southern Plains? You’ve already resigned and are no
longer the Black Dragon. You no longer have the right to mobilize the Black Dragon Army.”
The Blithe King sensed James’ seething with murderous intent.
He narrowed his eyes.
“What’s the matter? What happened?”
“Some trivial matter,” James blinked at him and replied vaguely.
“Do you need my help?” the Blithe King offered.
He did not understand what was happening, but he could tell from James’ expression it was not a trivial
matter like he said but something severe.
James waved his hand dismissively.
His coat flapped in the wind as he stepped forward, and boarded the helicopter. The helicopter slowly
took off and disappeared from the Blithe King’s sight.
The Blithe King surrowed his brows.
“There’s nothing wrong, so why are you suddenly going to the Southern Plains?” The Blithe King pulled
out his phone and called Henry.
“Sorry, the phone number you’ve dialed is unavailable.”
“Huh?
‘What’s going on? Why is his phone turned off?’ the Blithe King frowned deeper as he muttered to
himself.
He had a very bad feeling.
Something must have happened for James to travel to the Southern Plains. Something was about to
happen in the Southern Plains. Something terrible.
Although he was unsure of what was happening, he was not too worried. Despite James resigning from
his position, the Black Dragon Army was still loyal to him.
He had an absolute position in the Southern Plains. Thus, even if he retired and returned to the
Southern Plains, no one dared to touch him because of his overwhelming power.
James took the private plane to the Southern Plains.
On board the plane, his grim expression never left his face. He took out his phone and dialed a
number. He called the number that contacted him in the morning. It did not take long for someone to
pick up the call. “I’m on the way. Who are you, and what have you done to Henry?” “Head to Southern
Plains Mount Thunder Pass. Someone will contact you when you arrive.
“I’m warning you. I’ll make sure you die a gruesome death if Henry loses even a strand of hair from his
head.”
“Beep… Beep… Beep… The other party hung up.
