It was Whitney.Whitney had been staying at Henry’s clinic for the past few days. She had witnessed James ordering people to raze Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory, and after doing some research, she had a rough guess about James’ identity.Although she did not know the details, she figured out that James was a prominent figure from the Southern Plains. “Hello.”James nodded to Whitney and entered the room.“James,” Henry quickly rushed over and greeted.“Where're the things I asked for?”“Over there. They just arrived,” Henry pointed to a box on the floor and replied.James walked over, picked up the box, and entered the back room to start working. Outside.

The two walked side by side.Media reporters secretly photographed the scene.Quincy was shocked in the distance. She quickly approached them and stood before the two, then took off her sunglasses. “Thea…” she said with her jaw dropped open.Next, she turned toward James.There was a slight resentment on her face, and her eyes began to tear up. James frowned.‘Why is Quincy here?’ “James…”Her vision began to blur with tears, and she raised her head to glance aggrievedly at James.“Hmm?“Why are you here?” James glanced at her and asked.Thea, who stood beside James, felt awkward about the situation.She knew the mysterious Mr. Caden was her best friend, Quincy’s boyfriend ten years ago.“Quincy…”She glanced at Quincy with her face flushed red from shame.Quincy glanced at him with tears in her eyes and said, “James, do you know I’ve waited ten years for you?“I knew you weren’t dead! I just could sense you near me. I’ve waited ten years for you. I’ve rejected coun

“I…”Thea stopped talking.She wanted to say she had a husband and would not divorce him.However, she was unable to say anything.“James and I didn’t marry for love. My grandfather chose him to marry into the Callahans.”With this said, James immediately understood her heart.Afterward, Thea said a lot, all of which was an expression of her gratitude. However, James was absent-minded.The two finished their meal. After the meal, James said, “Shall I take you back?”“N-No, it’s fine,” Thea politely refused. “I…I’ll consider getting a divorce,” said Thea.She blushed and ran away after speaking.James was left troubled.He watched as Thea left and touched his nose.‘Divorce…’He smiled lightly and went silent.He drove back to Majestic Corporation, changed his clothes, and took off the human mask.Deep in thought, he sat on a chair in the chairman’s office while smoking a cigarette.At this moment, his phone rang.He glanced at it and saw Henry calling. “What’s

The Emperor of the Capital, one of the Five Commanders?The most powerful amongst the Five Commanders, who steadily controlled the Capital?“Anything else?”James glanced at Jake.“I’ve investigated a lot of things about the ancient box’s source and inquired about the grave robbers. The grave robber gang had received money from a mysterious employer. They received the map of the tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain, which helped them successfully enter the tomb and find the ancient box. However, an unexpected accident occurred, and someone stole it while the key fell into Scarlett’s hands.”“Get to the important part. Who was the person that stole the ancient box, and who is the mysterious employer?” James glanced at him and said.“According to the intel collected, the person who stole the ancient box is Floyd Zink. He is a very well-known name in the underworld. He was the one that brought the box to Cansington. Floyd happens to be the Emperor’s confidant.“That means the myst

“Wait, what do you mean by that?” James was taken aback by the revelation.“Huh?”Emperor was likewise surprised by James’ reaction and immediately remarked, “It seems you’re not even aware of this.”“I’m not. Explain everything.”“It’s a secret. It’s better to let sleeping dogs lie. Nothing good will come out of having this information. Thomas decided to leave the Cadens and is no longer part of the Four Great Families. Thus, you’re no longer a member of the Cadens. It’ll be good if you don’t involve yourself any further in these matters.”James glared at Emperor.Although Emperor was not the one responsible for the Cadens' demise, he definitely held no small amount of insider information.James' glared at him venomously and struck in the next moment. He leaned close to Emperor as his silver needle touched the carotid artery on his neck.The color in the Emperor’s face drained at the threat.“What are you trying to do, James? Kill me?

Where were you?” Thea’s displeasure was written clearly on her face.James immediately came up with an excuse and hurriedly replied, “I was working. I’m late because the company is trying to improve various systems and we had a meeting tonight to discuss that. I’m sorry. I’ll let you know next time I work overtime.”Thea’s anger was slightly assuaged.“James…”“Yeah?”“Nevermind.
