Soon, James was back.
He pushed the door of Common Clinic open and walked in. Whitney immediately stood up and greeted,
“Hey, James.”
“Mhm.”
James lightly nodded and looked at Thea, whose eyes were glued to the screen. He walked over there
and sat beside her. “Are you alright, Thea?”
“Yes.”
Thea looked at James and pointed at the TV. “W-What’s going on? G-Gavin’s dead?’ James nodded
and said, “I know that the Watsons are influential. Since calling the police wouldn’t work, I reported
them to the military. The higher-ups took my report seriously, and the Blithe King himself led an army to
Osmanthus villa and exterminated them all. Since Gavin resisted arrest, he was killed on the spot.”
“By the way, Maximus is dead too. With him gone, there’ll be no one else targeting the Callahans.”
“T-The Blithe King himself?” Thea was shocked.
“Of course. This is Cansington which the Blithe King holds jurisdiction over. He would not stand idly and
watch these wicked people act as they wished.”
James grabbed Thea’s hand and said, “Thea, you have to learn to use legal instruments to protect
yourself. There’s no single person in Sol that’s all-powerful. There will always be an upholder of justice.
The Blithe King is one of them.”
“I see.”
Thea nodded.
Immediately, she was reminded of something.
“What about my brother?”
James said, “He was sent to the hospital. Let me bring you home first. We’ll visit him later.”
Thea did not think much of it. It was all thanks to James that they narrowly escaped death.
If not for James’ report to the military…
She did not dare imagine the consequences. James grabbed Thea’s hand and stood up to leave. “J-
James…” Whitney spoke.
“Hmm?”
James looked at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Where’s Henry?” Whitney asked. She knew Henry had gone to the Southern Plains.
Then, news spread that the Black Dragon fought the 28-nation martial arts gurus at Mt. Thunder Pass
and was pursued by a hundred-thousand-strong army. Then, news of the Black Dragon’s death came.
Though the Black Dragon had returned, Henry had not.
She was waiting for an opportunity to ask.
James saw the anxious expression on her face and instantly understood. He said, “He’s fine. I’ll give
you a number. Call it.”
He gave Whitney Daniel’s number.
After that, he left with Thea.
Whitney immediately called Daniel. After the call went through, she asked impatiently, “Hey, James told
me you knew about Henry’s whereabouts. May I know where he is at the moment?”
Daniel did not know who was calling. However, since Whitney mentioned James, he immediately
understood. “At the military hospital.”
“What? A-At the military hospital?” Whitney’s face turned pale. She hurriedly asked, “What happened to
him?”
“Come and see for yourself.”
Daniel did not say much. Whitney hung up the phone and immediately headed to the military hospital.
The rest of the Callahans remained in their residence.
Lex and the others did not leave. James’ parting remarks scared them. As they were present at the
scene, they knew that David and Thea had been abducted. They immediately knew it was the Watsons
who were behind this. It was their way of getting back at them. At that moment, the TV was
broadcasting the news. Upon seeing the news, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Gavin is dead?”
“Maximus is dead?”
They could not believe their eyes. The Watsons had only just begun their retaliation. How could they be
dead in just an afternoon?
Soon, James and Thea returned home.
