At the foyer of the hotel, many big shots of Cansington gathered. Some were from the corporate world,
while others came from political circles. The latter was here for the Black Dragon.
News of the Black Dragon’s relationship with Thea had spread like wildfire.
They were saying that Thea divorced her husband to be together with the Black Dragon, one of the
former five commanders-in-chief. Even if he had resigned from his post, he was worth getting
acquainted with. Thea was wearing a low-cut dress. Her long hair was tied up, and bandages covered
her face. Even so, it did not have the slightest effect on her unique charisma and demeanor. She was
greeting her guests. Meanwhile, Bobby was escorting her the whole time.
Together with James, Cynthia walked over to Thea. Thea saw them approaching from afar. Upon
seeing how intimate James was with another woman, she momentarily froze. Then, she smiled and
greeted, “Cynthia, you’re here.”
“Mhm.”
Cynthia gently nodded. Cynthia was a member of the Dawn family. She was a big shot. Hence, she
was someone Thea and the Callahans wanted to curry favor with. Thea wore a bright smile even
though James was there. She greeted Cynthia. However, she completely disregarded James as if he
was invisible.
“James...”
A voice came.
James turned to see where it came from.
Quincy, who was wearing a red dress, walked over to him. Looking at him with a smile, she said, “I
thought you wouldn’t come.”
James joked, “I came here for the free food.”
“Thea,”
After greeting James, Quincy turned toward Thea.
“Mhm.”
Thea nodded.
Quincy pulled at James and said, “Let’s have a seat here.”
Cynthia loosened her grip and gave James a slight push. “Go on.”
James followed Quincy to a sofa not far away.
The moment James sat on the sofa, he pulled a cigarette out and lit it.
Quincy, who was sitting opposite him, stared at him and teased, “You look rather handsome in a suit.
There’s a manly feel to it. Thea must be blind.”
“Really?”
James smiled slightly. He never believed himself to be a handsome man. “I’m serious,” Quincy said
with a straight face. “Alright, then.”
James cut the conversation short. Although he was sitting opposite Quincy, his gaze was fixed on
Thea, who was standing in the distance. Seeing this, Quincy could not help but feel sorrowful. As they
said, one would only have the opportunity to steal a man’s heart when he was washed up and beaten
down. However, she felt as if she could never enter James’ heart no matter what she did. That was
because there was only one person in his heart, to begin with. There was no more space for anyone
else. More and more people came.
Quincy went to greet some of the people she was acquainted with.
James, on the other hand, sat on the sofa in the rest area and played Plants vs. Zombies on his phone.
At the same time, a crowd gathered outside Cansington Hotel. They were ordinary citizens holding
banners with words scribbled on them up high. “Is Thea Callahan here?” They spoke. After hearing of
this, Thea hurriedly made her way out. Standing before the crowd, she asked, “What’s going on?”
“Thea, where is the Black Dragon? There’s an emergency at the border of the Southern Plains. We‘re
here to request him to return to the battlefield.”
“This is a declaration written in blood by ten thousand men. We implore the Black Dragon to come out
of retirement and return to the battlefield.”
Thea looked at the banners on which names were scribbled in blood and frowned. “How would I know
where the Black Dragon is?“.
“Thea Callahan, the Black Dragon doesn’t belong to you only. Call for him. We implore him to return to
the battlefield!”
