James yawned. His exhaustion seeped into his very bones. He needed to rest. After sating the curiosity
of the relentless reporters, he turned and got on the convoy. He spoke to the driver once again, “Alright,
let’s get going. Enter the Black Dragon Palace.” “Understood.”
The driver restarted the engine. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, it slowly made its way into the
Black Dragon Palace.
News of James’ interview spread. It was translated into different languages all over the world.
In the Callahans’ residence in Cansington… Thea just woke up. She had not been sleeping well
recently. She had been keeping tabs on the situation at the battlefield every moment she could. She
prayed that bloodshed could be avoided. After a few days of inactivity on the battlefield, she began to
feel relieved. “Thea, quick! Over here! Something big’s happened!” She heard David yelling for her the
moment she got out of her room. She had been listless all this while. She could not bring herself to do
anything. She walked over to David and sat beside him. She then asked disinterestedly, “What is it?
Why do you look so stunned?”
David cried out excitedly, “The allied forces of the twenty-eight nations have withdrawn from Southern
Plains City, and the Black Dragon army has reclaimed it. Have a look! This is the latest interview by
James. Look at how cool he is in the Black Dragon robe!”
Thea felt as if she had been instantly snapped awake. She swiftly grabbed the phone from David.
“May I have a few minutes of your time?”
“Five minutes. Ask away.”
It was a normal conversation.
However, her jaw hit the floor upon seeing the woman who was doing the interview,
“That’s Quincy. Why is she there?”
She was speechless.
She never expected Quincy to make her way to the Southern Plains and interview James as a reporter
Thea, look at James’ robes. He’s so awesome. The five-star badge on his shoulder is glittering! He
really lives up to his name. He was able to infiltrate Southern Plains City, which was held down by an
army of three million soldiers, and assassinate the generals of the twenty -eight nations. His heroic
deeds are bound to go down in history.”
David chittered like a monkey with a banana.
How cool!
How majestic!
Thea, however, was lost in her thoughts.
She was fixated on a single thought. ‘Have the both of them gotten together?’ She recalled the events
that occurred before she divorced James. She saw with her own eyes Quincy and James making out in
the office at Majestic Corporation. If she had been there any later, they would have taken it further.
Reminded of this, her eyes brimmed with tears.
“You said you loved me and that you cared for me. You liar! You’ve been fooling around with her all this
while. You must have been glad I divorced you.”
She sobbed.
“Thea, what are you muttering about?” “N-Nothing.” Thea wiped away her tears. Then, she stood up
and ran back into her room. In her room, she pulled her phone out and rewatched James’interview. Her
eyes were fixated on James in his Black Dragon robe. “He’s so handsome…” Thea was infatuated with
him. She had never thought of James as a handsome-looking man. Now, things were different. He
exuded a masculine aura. His every action seemed to make her fall harder for him.
However, she knew she had lost him forever,
There was no more possibility of her being with him ever again.
At the same time, at the Emperor’s Mansion in the Capital…
The Emperor was enraged.
“Worthless garbage! All of them!”
He was lashing out in the room.
He had warned Floyd to be vigilant.
However, the man paid no heed to his warnings.
“How did he manage to sneak into a city protected by a three-million-strong army and take out all the
generals? Are they all trash?!”
