The cafe’s owner and the students present were shocked.This person was a one-star general. Why was he treating the person in front of him with so much respect?Many onlookers turned their eyes to James. Some students curiously took out their phones and searched for the Dragon King. Immediately, search results of James being recently appointed the Dragon King popped up on their screens.It was supposed to be a secret. However, there were plenty of people when James was awarded the title. Thus, the news had already started to spread in the inner circle, but most outsiders were still unaware of it.“D-Dragon King? James, the Dragon King? The commander of the Black Dragon Army?!” Someone from the crowd exclaimed.James' identity was exposed in an instant. Everyone looked at him in astonishment.Hugo was shocked after the beating. He got up from the ground and covered his bruised face, saying, “Uncle, it’s me, Hugo. W-Why did you hit me?”He could not grasp what had just happened an

However, the True Energy that entered Cynthia’s body disappeared without a trace, as if it had sunk into the sea.James asked, “Did you manage to discover anything?”Although James had the second volume of the medical book, it mainly recorded how to use Crucifier and various cultivation methods. It also had a set of martial arts techniques that James had not studied yet. He was unable to diagnose Cynthia’s condition.Maxine’s brows furrowed as she fell into thought for a few seconds. Then, she asked, “Apart from feeling cold, have you felt any other symptoms recently?”Cynthia replied, “Yeah. Sometimes I’ll have severe headaches, dizziness, palpitations, and so on.” Maxine turned to James and said, “If I’m not wrong, she has an incredibly rare physique born for martial arts.”“Born for martial arts?” James was stunned.“Yeah. When I felt her pulse, I transfused a little bit of True Energy into her body, but it was swallowed by the Cold Energy in her body almost instantly. The C

He planned to take the second volume of the medical book and leave.“James.” A tall and muscular figure dressed in a military uniform walked over and greeted James respectfully.The man was Clinton.Clinton was selected to participate in the special training because of James. Although the special training was not over yet, he had asked for leave to thank James personally.James looked at Clinton with a smile and said, “Not bad. You’ve only been training for a while but look much stronger.”Clinton replied with a smile, “The special training is tough, but I’m pumped to keep going. I hope to become a hero like you one day and protect our country.”James waved his hand and said, “What hero? I’m no longer the commander of the Black Dragon Army, nor am I the Black Dragon. I’m just a commoner now.”“In my heart, you’ll always be a hero!” Clinton said firmly.“James.” Jedidiah walked over.“Grandpa,” James greeted him respectfully.James had respect for the older revolutionaries bec

Tiara took James to the second floor, pushed open a door, and said, “James, you can stay in this room. The sheets and everything else inside were newly bought.”“Alright.” James nodded.He walked into the room.Tiara followed him with a hesitant expression as if wanting to say something, James looked at her and asked, “Do you have something to say?”Tiara was slightly embarrassed and her pretty face flushed red. “J-James, you and Thea…”She paused, summoned the courage, and asked, “D-Did you come back because of me? I…I already told you I don’t want to force you, and I sincerely wish the best for you and Thea. All I want is for you two to be well and fine.”“Nonsense. Stop overthinking it. You go out first. I want to continue reading my book.”“Okay…” Tiara replied dispiritedly and walked out.Downstairs…The two women sat together.Seeing Tiara approaching, Quincy asked as if gossiping, “Did you ask James why he didn’t stay at the Callahans?”Tiara looked at her and asked,

The old man approached her.Tiara asked, “Were you calling me just now, sir?”“Of course.”The old man was none other than Thomas. He leaned forward and whispered into Tiara’s ears.“Really?!!” Tiara was ecstatic.“Definitely. Come with me. It’s not a lie,” Thomas said with a smile.Tiara left the airport with Thomas inside a black vehicle, while James reached the airport a little too late. After arriving, he phoned the Blithe King.The Blithe King informed him that there was indeed a person named Tiara Youngblood that booked a ticket. However, she did not board the plane.James frowned upon hearing the news. “She didn’t board the plane?”“Yeah, the flight she booked has already taken off, but she didn’t board the plane.”“Alright. I got it.” James hung up the phone.He sat on the stairs outside the airport, smoking a cigarette pensively. “Where could she go if she didn’t board the plane?” James muttered to himself. “Did something happen to her?”James suddenly became anx
