If only her husband was not useless… If only James were a powerful and influential man, her problems
would not have surfaced in the first place. 1
Unfortunately, her husband was trash.
James was just a good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Callahans.
James relaxed after making the call. He tossed his phone on the table and asked, “How’s Henry’s
condition?” Levi replied, “He’s still stable.”
“Good. Watch his condition closely. Let me know immediately if something’s wrong.”
“Understood.”
“You may leave me now. I’m tired. I’m going back to sleep.”
Levi left his commander to his rest.
James got on the bed.
He was bone-tired.
He had used up a lot of his strength after his combat with the twenty-eight fighters at Mt. Thunder Pass.
To make things worse, he had to flee from the hundred-thousand-strong army for a whole night. His
body was near its limit.
Not only that, his operation on Henry took a full day too.
He collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Thea was bawling her eyes out. She got up, knowing that this would not solve anything.
She went to look for Quincy. Quincy was working hard at a newly opened restaurant on Food Street in
the Transgenerational New City. She was dressed in professional attire and exuded the charisma of a
mature woman.
Upon seeing the pitiful state Thea was in, she knit her eyebrows in worry and asked, “What’s wrong,
Thea?” “I’m in deep trouble.” Thea wailed. “S-Stop crying and tell me what’s going on.” Quincy hurriedly
sat by her side. She handed her a tissue and said, “Look at you. You’re all soaked. You’ll get a cold.”
“Sob…”
Thea wept pitifully. “I-it’s okay, Thea. What’s going on? You can tell me” Thea told her the whole truth.
She told Quincy about the 2 billion dollars Richard had given her, how David stole 500 million from her
and lost everything, and how he had borrowed 800 million from a loan shark.
Lastly, she lamented about how the Xenoses transferred the money in her bank account away.
Hearing this, Quincy pressed her lips together. “Are you saying that you have 2 billion dollars worth of
debt?”
“Yes.”
Thea nodded tearfully.
“The Xenoses…”
Quincy was momentarily stunned. How could she not know of Richard?
She was a Xenos herself.
However, her entire family was kicked out and disowned by the Xenoses. “I have an idea, Thea.”
“Huh?”
Thea looked at Quincy and asked, “What is it?” Quincy said, “You have to return what you owe to the
Xenos. Otherwise, your family will be in deep trouble. On the other hand, the loans that your brother
borrowed can be waived through the help of some powerful people.” Thea pulled at Quincy’s clothes
desperately and pleaded, “You have to help me out.” “I’m not capable of helping you out. Although I’m
the vice-president of Transgenerational Group, I don’t have connections with anyone influential. There’s
only a single person that can help you out-Zavier Watson.” Quincy looked deep into Thea’s eyes.
“Huh? Mr. Watson?”
Quincy nodded, “How about this? I’ll give him a call now.”
Thea wanted to decline her offer but now that it had come to this, she had no other options.
She nodded.
Quincy called Zavier and explained what had happened.
At the Watsons’ villa, Zavier was deep in contemplation after learning what had happened to
Thea.
He still could not forget Thea after all this time.
It was only because of how influential and intimidating her husband was that he never dared to
approach her.
Now, things were different. News of the Black Dragon’s resignation had caused an uproar. There were
also rumors on the internet that the Black Dragon was in the Southern Plains locked in combat with the
twenty-eight fighters and being pursued by a massive army.
“Since James had resigned and was no longer the Black Dragon, what is there to be afraid of? Not only
that, he’s also made a lot of influential enemies. Putting all things aside, the Five Provinces Business
Alliance isn’t going to let him off the hook after he used his connections to forcibly take over the
Transgenerational New City.”
“It’s best if he had died in the Southern Plains.”
“Even if he survives, he’d be in deep trouble the moment he returns to Cansington.” Thinking about
this, Zavier grinned expectantly. “You’re finally mine, Thea.”
