In the River of Time, outside Wynton’s lair, an amethyst-gold light flashed, and James’ Anonymous main self appeared.Zella, who had been waiting in the void for a long time, was astonished.“James, aren’t you with my brother... dealing with him? Why are you here?”“Just ignore that,” James said sternly. “I need your help.”Zella quickly nodded.James touched Zella’s forehead with two fingers and injected a path source. At once, Zella received a lot of information.Taking two steps back, James said, “Begin at the right time. It’s best if you use your prophetic ability. It’s important to move in silence. After all, our opponent isn’t an ordinary powerhouse.”Zella nodded and watched James leave.She found it strange that the direction James was heading to wasn’t Wynton’s lair but the River of Time.“Being his opponent, I don’t care whether or not you’re my brother, you will be a tragedy.”After saying that, Zella flashed and returned to the huge Path lotus.What made her more
“You’re really doing everything you can to mess with my mind, aren’t you?”Upon hearing that, Wynton was taken aback. Then, he laughed.“Zella is on your side. You made her provoke the past forms of the living beings you care a lot about to trigger a war. Aren’t you afraid both sides will suffer losses?”“Isn’t that what you want?” James moved a piece. Instantly, it was as if an army of one million was attacking.Within the piece, one million powerhouses formed from James’ Daoism appeared. They charged toward Wynton’s tightly guarded camp.In an instant, the powerhouses were shouting and waving flags. Countless spirit beasts and holy beasts, conjured by numerous Daoisms, advanced to destroy everything.Seeing himself in an unfavorable situation, Wynton's face darkened.He realized something was off.The two had been playing this game of chess for a long time, but Wynton had always been on the offensive while James played defensively. Now, James had launched a sudden, vicious at
A tall, muscular man in a dark coat and dark glasses walked out from Cansington station, his phone glued to his ear.“Have you got the information?”“Yes, General. The girl who saved you from the fire ten years ago is Thea Callahan. She survived after that, but she’s been badly disfigured due to the fire.”The man tightened his grip on the phone, his expression darkening.It was a hot summer day, but the man had a cold aura around him.Everyone who walked past him shuddered involuntarily.His name was James Caden.Ten years ago, James’ family members were burned alive, falling victim to a scheme against them.A young girl rushed into the inferno and saved him without regard for her own safety.All 38 of his family members lost their lives that night, and the first family of Cansington was no more.After James was rescued, he jumped into the river, as it was the only way to survive.He ended up in the Southern Plains where he became a soldier.Ten years later, he had success
The House of Royals occupied about 20,000 square meters, and it was the most luxurious villa in all of Cansington.It had everything from a garden, a swimming pool, and a golf course.Thea sat on the soft couch of the foyer, looking around at the villa in disbelief. It resembled a palace more than anything.She had known that any man with pride and self-respect would never marry her, much less into the Callahan family back when her grandfather said to find a husband for her.She thought at that time whoever was willing to marry her would be greedy and lazy, coveting her family’s wealth, although she did not know who her husband would be at all.Yet, she had never expected this man who just became her husband would bring her to this paradise.James knelt and lifted her veil.“Don’t…”Thea panicked and shied away. With scars crisscrossing her face and entire body, she was a fearful sight. What if she scared her new husband away? They had not even been properly introduced yet!Ja
None of the Callahans bothered to look for Thea even though she had been gone for ten days.To the Callahans, Thea was the black sheep of the family and the laughing stock of Cansington. If it were not for Thea, the Callahans’ business would be booming.Once Thea had recovered, she picked up her marriage certificate with James and they went home together.Lex Callahan had three sons.According to birth order, they were Howard, John, and Benjamin. Benjamin was shunned by his own family because of Thea. It did not matter that he worked hard, expanding the family business by leaps and bounds.At home, he did not have any rank, status, or authority whatsoever.Benjamin might be a Callahan Group manager, but he had no shares in the company. All he got was a fixed salary each month with no bonus. As such, he was struggling to make ends meet.It was true that he had bought a house, but there was still the mortgage to pay off every month.“This is my home, Jamie.”Pointing to the do
After leaving the Callahans’ villa.Thea was crying. “Jamie, I’m so sorry. I don’t even have any control over my marriage.”James took her hand. “It’s okay. Grandfather has made the statement. If I manage to get an order from Celestial Group, he’ll have no choice but to acknowledge us as husband and wife.”“It’s Celestial Group we’re talking about.” Thea was worried.Born and bred in Cansington, she knew all there was to Celestial Group.Celestial Group was an international company, having broken into the Cansington market just recently. The Great Four basically monopolized Celestial Group’s orders.James only smiled. “We’ll never know if we don’t try.”Thea thought of something suddenly, saying, “Oh yeah, I remember now. An old classmate of mine is working at Celestial Group. In fact, she’s the head of a department there. Let me get in touch with her. She might be able to connect us with the higher management.”“Okay.”Holding hands, the both of them walked home to Thea’s.T
The Xaviers were the leaders of The Great Four in Cansington.It was a day of celebration for them. Megatron Group, one of their many businesses, had signed an agreement with Celestial Group, and they were now the best of business partners. In other words, the Xaviers’ influence would be even more widespread thanks to this agreement.Also, the patriarch of the family, Warren Xavier, was turning 80.Outside the Xaviers’ villa, a fleet of luxurious cars gathered. All the celebrities in Cansington were there for the double celebration.“This is a bottle of Retrouve wine worth eight million dollars, gifted by The Frasiers. They wish Mister Warren Xavier many happy returns!”“The Wilsons present a painting, The Black Thorn by Jacqui en Blanc, worth twelve million dollars, and they wish the Xaviers good wealth.”“The Zimmermans have gifted Mister Xavier a Froit Mi watch worth eight point eight million dollars…”At the main entrance, a lady held a microphone in her hand. She enthusiast
Early the next morning, James received a call from Thea.“Hey honey, I’ve managed to get in touch with my classmate. She’s willing to help and has set an appointment up with the chairman, Alex Yates. Where are you? Let’s go to Celestial Group’s office now and secure the order. Grandfather will accept you then!” Thea’s excited voice sounded through the phone.“Wait for me at home. I’ll pick you up in a bit.”After hanging up, James rolled out of bed and got ready at top speed.“Where are we going, James?”Henry was already waiting with the car.“To Thea’s.”“Hop in.”James complied. With Henry at the wheel, they reached Thea’s place in no time. They waited for her outside.Thea appeared soon.As she was going to meet the chairman of Celestial Group, Thea had put in extra effort to groom herself. Wearing a pretty, form-fitting dress and her black hair hanging loose over her shoulders, she was a vision to behold indeed.“Honey.”Having seen the black multi-purpose vehicle appr
