Chapter 702
Looking at the unknown men in front of the wooden house, James frowned and walked over to them.
“Halt.”
The men blocked James‘ path. One of them walked over to him and said coldly, “Search him.”
James was not sure whether Thea was abducted here.
He chose not to act recklessly and allowed his enemy to search him.
James did not bring any weapons. All he brought were some silver needles and the steel wire formed by the
Crucifier.
However, all of the silver needles and even the Crucifier were confiscated.
Glancing at his enemy, he said coldly, “You better take good care of my belongings. If even a single silver needle is
missing, I‘ll tear you to pieces.”
After he said that, he entered the wooden house.

Clap! Clap! Clap!
The moment he walked in, someone clapped.
The elderly man stood up while clapping and said smilingly, “How brave of you to con James. I‘m really impressed.”
James saw Thea who was sitting on a chair.
She was not tied up, nor were there signs that she was assaulted.
He asked, “Are you alright?”
The moment she saw James, Thea’s eyes brimmed with tears. Then, it flowed down her cheeks.
She thought James would not come.
However, he came.
At that moment, a few men walked in and aimed their firearms at James’ head.
Looking at the elderly man, James smiled. “That‘s all you‘ve got? Are you looking down on me or are you
overestimating your strength a little?”
Reign laughed and glanced at James. “That‘s all I need to kill you. What’s the point of going through the trouble of
formulating plans and whatnot? After all, as long as Thea Callahan is in my hands, you‘ll obey my every order.”

“Is that so?”
James smiled.
Then, he moved swiftly
The men who were pointing their firearms at him instantly collapsed to the floor.
Reign, however, remained composed. He merely took a seat and silently watched James’ performance.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
He clapped once again.
“As expected of the Black Dragon. When it comes to battle prowess, you‘re simply unrivaled.”
James scrutinized Reign.
He had a bad feeling about this. He did not understand why Reign remained undaunted.
“Ah!”
At that moment, Thea let loose a scream.

She fell from the chair and collapsed onto the floor groaning in pain.
James hurriedly made his way over to her and helped her up.
“It hurts, James... It hurts...”
Clutching her head, Thea pulled at her hair non–stop.
James swiftly grabbed her wrist and took her pulse.
Thea‘s body was in perfect health. She was not poisoned.
Thea, however, was suffering excruciating pain.
James hugged Thea tightly and glared at Reign. “What did you do to her?”
“Nothing much,” Reign spoke as if it was a matter of fact. “There‘s a poisonous insect that I meticulously raised for
thirty years inside her body. It will enter her brain following the blood flow. Then, it will simply eat away at her
medulla little by little. In the end, I‘m afraid she‘ll just become a simpleton,” he said nonchalantly.
James’s face was contorted with rage.
“James, h–help me... It hurts... I don‘t wanna die...”
Thea‘s cry of anguish and every word she uttered echoed in James‘ ears and pulled at his heartstrings.
