James nodded and got in the wheelchair. Then, they headed back.
Looking at the USB drive in his hand, he was deep in contemplation. The Undead Warrior?
His expression turned grim.
Using viruses to change the cellular structure of a human body was not impossible. After all, he had
used drugs to strengthen his body during training sessions before.
However, viruses were much more terrifying than drugs. That was because he had experienced it
beforehand.
Soon, they arrived at the Callahans’ villa.
Gladys was playing poker with her friends.
Upon seeing James, she ordered, “James, go buy some groceries and prepare lunch. My friends will
be having their meal with us here.”
“Mrs. Hill, he’s the former Black Dragon! How could you order him to buy groceries?” One of the rich
ladies was stunned.
“This is nothing surprising.” Gladys smiled. “Even when he was the Black Dragon, he obeyed my every
command.”
“Impressive!”
“You must be proud to have such a son-in-law.”
The other two ladies chimed in.
Gladys, however, was scornful. “Proud? He’s not even the Black Dragon anymore. Not only that, he’s
now gravely ill.”
Paying no heed to their conversation, James stood up. Tiara immediately helped him up.
“Did you not hear me, James? Are you deaf?”
Upon hearing this, he stopped in his tracks. Wearing a furious expression, he said coldly, ” Make your
own meal.”
“James, let me buy the groceries. I’ll help you upstairs first,” Tiara said.
James waved a hand. “No need for that. Come, let’s go upstairs.”
Enraged, Gladys cursed, “Don’t think you can remain in the Callahans’ villa just because you have
Thea on your side! I’m telling you this, James! I’ll never allow Thea to remarry you.”
James ignored her.
In the room on the second floor…
James switched on his computer and inserted the USB drive.
It was full of research data. However, since he was not a scientific researcher, he could not understand
what the data meant.
He pulled the USB drive out and put it aside. Taking a seat, he was soon lost in thought.
Seeing this, Tiara was careful not to interrupt his thoughts.
After a while, James ordered, “Tiara, I’d like you to go to the military region.”
“Mhm.” Tiara nodded. Then, she asked, “Are you looking for the Blithe King?”
James ordered, “Ask him to investigate the number of research laboratories the Emperor has within
Sol. If possible, ask him to look beyond Sol too. After that, I want you to find Jay Fallon.
I need his underground intelligence network to investigate the matter as well.”
“Anything else?”
“That’s all.” James waved lightly.
“Understood.”
Tiara turned to leave. She had been an intermediary all this while.
As the Emperor’s eyes and ears were all over the place, James would not dare use the phone. After
all, it was an easy feat for him to eavesdrop on James’ conversations.
