The Emperor knew that he could not kill James in Sol.
He did not have the capability to kill James. The thought of using Thea to get rid of James had crossed
his mind before. After so many things, the Emperor understood James valued Thea a lot, even more
than his own life. He would surely go berserk if something happened to Thea.
The consequences of the Black Dragon‘s fury were terrifying.
It was a severe consequence for the Emperor.
There was only one way to kill James–get him back to the borders and kill him on the battlefield,
However, the borders were peaceful, and the small countries near the borders would have to start a
war for James to be forced back on the battlefield.
The Emperor‘s fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Tap, tap, tap
A rhythmic sound echoed in the room.
After a while, the Emperor said, “Stay low for a while, and don‘t act recklessly. I‘ll come up with a plan.”
“Understood.”
The people gathered nodded.
The Callahans‘ house.
Thea did not expect James to really transfer 10 billion dollars to her.
It was not a hundred or two hundred million, nor a million or two million, but it was ten billion that he
had transferred.
It was a huge sum for anyone. An ordinary person would not make so much money even if they worked
their whole lives. Even the Callahans who had worked hard for decades only had a few hundred million
dollars in total assets. Even when the Callahans were at their prime, the cash they could take out was
only one or two billion dollars. Yet, James so easily gave her 10 billion dollars. Thea felt stupefied.
Thinking of what James said before, she felt like she had lost James forever. However, this was what
she had hoped for. Now that she got rid of James, she had the right to pursue her happiness.
“Thea, how are you planning to spend the money?“.
Glayds glanced at Thea eagerly.
Thea gently shook her head. She never thought about it. “What do you mean by shaking your head?
Tell me,” Gladys said anxiously. “Ten billion is a lot of money. You won‘t be able to finish it even if you
spend lavishly. How about you give me a bit first for safekeeping?” Gladys tried to cheat Thea of the
money.
She wanted to keep it in her pocket to be safe.
“Mom, what about James?”
Thea‘s mind was a mess, and she was unsure of what to do.
“Him?”
Gladys was stunned for a moment. Then, she said disdainfully, “He already asked Zane for the ten
billion dollars. Zane will not be giving him any more money after this. His value is these ten billion
dollars. Now that it‘s in your card, he has no more value. You should break up with him and get a
divorce.”
“Still, he just gave me the ten billion dollars. Wouldn‘t it be cruel for me to just divorce him like this?”
Thea frowned. She also wanted the divorce but felt it would be unfair to James.
“Who cares about cruel or not? You‘re too innocent, Thea. You‘re so beautiful and rich now. How is he
worthy of you?” Gladys despised James ever since he joined the Callahans.
Even though he just gave them 10 billion dollars, she still disliked him.
To her, James was just lucky to have saved Zane‘s daughter.
James‘ luck was all brought by Thea. Without her daughter, James would never have had such good
fortune to receive these ten billion dollars.
“Call him and ask him to go to the Department of Civil Affairs to sign the divorce documents.” “Really?”
Thea hesitated.
After thinking about it for a while, she also felt it would be troublesome to continue dragging out the
matter. It would be best to divorce earlier and free herself sooner.
After the divorce, she would finally have the right to pursue her happiness. Pursuing the Black Dragon
before getting a divorce was considered cheating, and she would feel guilty about it.
Thea was contemplating in her heart. Between the Black Dragon and James, she chose the former.
Even if James just gave her 10 billion. James‘ status in her heart was far inferior to that of the Black
Dragon.
She took out her phone and called James.
Cansington, a bar.
It was afternoon.
Bars in the afternoon were relatively deserted. Apart from the staff, there were only a few customers.
