The Almighty Dragon General Chapter 828

Thea grit her teeth furiously.

It was as if she had turned into a completely different person at that moment.

“We simply aren’t meant to be, Thea.”

“Mark my words,” Thea’s eyes burned with hatred as she glared at James. “You’ll regret this, James. I
promise you!”

She stomped out of the door, scorned and upset.

The ward was once again enveloped in silence.

Tiara did not utter a single word throughout the entire argument that happened in front of her.

After Thea left, she urged James to follow her, “What are you doing, James? You should chase after
her!”

James simply shook his head.

He had already laid everything out for Thea, there was no need to chase after her now.

As long as Thea did not rock the boat too much, James was content to leave things the way they were.

“Rest well and get better soon. Once I return from the Southern Plains, I’ll come to visit you.”

James had finally left the ward. He immediately headed toward the military region to look for Blithe
King.



After her outburst, Thea left the hospital. The moment she stepped out of the premise, she burst into
tears.

She knew she had broken James’ heart before. Nevertheless, she learned from her mistakes. Thea put
all her effort into reconciling with him only to be cruelly rejected and given the cold shoulder. 2

Thea laid her head on the steering wheel and let the dam of raging emotions within her burst forth in a
torrent of bitter tears.

“Would you care for a tissue, miss?”

An unfamiliar voice came from beside her.

This startled Thea out of her emotional breakdown.

Glancing sideways, she noticed a man sitting in the passenger’s seat.

He was a white-haired elderly man and he wore a brown jacket.

“Wh-Who are you?” Thea regarded the man warily.

“Oh, can’t you remember me?” The elderly man looked at Thea with a bright smile.

Thea stared closely at the elderly man. She had no recollection of them ever meeting.

She shook her head. “No.”

The elderly man nodded. “I guess I should have expected as much. After all, you were unconscious ten
years ago.”

“Wh-Who are you?”



The elderly man continued to smile gently at her. “You saved James from the fire ten years ago and got
badly burned in the process. Did you think you survived without anyone’s help?”

When he mentioned her past, a deep frown formed on Thea’s face.

Did this man save her ten years ago?

“Who are you?”

“You can call me Mr. Caden.”

“Huh?” Thea tilted her head in confusion.

Still smiling all the while, the elderly man replied, “My name is Thomas Caden.”

“Thomas Caden? As in James’ grandfather?” Thea exclaimed excitedly.

“That’s right.” Thomas smiled.

Thea took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of her. Ten years ago, the fire burned the
Cadens’ residence to the ground, killing everyone aside from James.

She never would have thought that James’ grandfather would still be alive after the disaster. She also
did not expect this man that had suddenly approached her to have been living in

hiding for the past ten years.

“How can I help you, Mr. Caden?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted James to regret leaving you? Well, I’m here to grant your prayers. Haven’t
you wondered why the Gu venom in your body hasn’t affected you yet?”



Now that he mentioned it… Yes, Thea had been puzzled all this while.

Back then, at Mount Thunder Pass, she definitely consumed the Gu venom. However, she hasn’t felt
any effects at all, even after such a prolonged period.

Thea’s face lit up as she put two-and-two together. “W-Were you the one helping me in secret?”

“Hah! Your beauty is only matched by your brains. If you want James to be filled with remorse over how
he treated you, you need to possess great strength. After all, James managed to cultivate True Energy
and is now a grandmaster of martial arts!”

“From today onwards, you’ll be the young mistress of the God-King Palace.” Thomas declared
nonchalantly as if he were stating a simple fact.
