Chapter 405

Seeing James get off the plane alongside an unconscious Henry, the Blithe King momentarily froze.

Then, he walked over to them and hugged James. “I knew you’d be alright. You scared me. I thought
you died at Mt. Thunder Pass.”

James smiled slightly and said, “I’m still young. Besides, I have such a beautiful wife waiting for me at
home. How could I die so easily?”

“Still have time for jokes? I heard your wife’s getting engaged to someone else.”

Hearing this, James’ face darkened. The Blithe King hurriedly changed the subject, “What happened to
the Black Shadow?”

James replied, “He got into an accident. Bring him to the military hospital immediately and have men
watch over him round the clock. Notify me if anything happens.”

“Understood.”

The Blithe King nodded and immediately ordered, “Send the Black Shadow General to the military
hospital now.”



Saying that, he put his arms around James’ shoulder. “What happened exactly? Why would you go to
Mt. Thunder Pass after arriving at the Southern Plains? Why were you in combat with the 28-nation
martial arts gurus? Why were you pursued by a hundred-thousand-strong army? And why was there
news of your death?”




James’ face darkened. “I sent Henry to the Southern Plains to get some money. However, he was
ambushed and brought to Mt. Thunder Pass. The enemy instructed me to come alone, and I did. It was
a conspiracy against me. However, I didn’t know his or her identity, so I spread the news of my death.”

“I see.”

The Blithe King immediately asked, “Then, do you know who’s targeting you?”

James shook his head. “No, I only know they were carrying out orders on behalf of Doctor King. As for
who he is, I’ve yet to look into that. Speaking of which, could you help me find out if there’s a Doctor
King in Sol? He’s also nicknamed the miracle-working Doctor King.”

“Understood.”

James reminded, “Remember, be discreet.”

“Got it.” The Blithe King nodded. He then asked, “Since you’ve claimed to be dead, wouldn’t your
appearance arouse suspicion?” James winced.

He had not wished to reveal himself so quickly. He had wanted to investigate in the shadows. However,
Thea was getting married to someone else. He had no other choice.

“Why don’t I help you out? I can prevent your wife from marrying someone else and stall for time.”

“Never mind.”

James lightly waved. “This is a personal affair. I’ll deal with it myself. Besides, everyone knows that the
Black Dragon takes on another identity. Only a handful know of my true identity.” James had thought
about it. The one targeting him seemed to know him inside out. It could be someone from the
government. It could also be related to the destruction of his family.



He had wanted to hide in the shadows and wait for his enemies to give themselves away.

However, he had now been compelled to reveal himself. He could not care less about anything else.
Besides, revealing himself was not all bad. If he concealed himself, his enemies would act brazenly as
they would think he was dead. If he revealed himself, his enemies would continue targeting him,
thereby providing him with the opportunity to get more insider information. “If that’s the case, I won’t
stop you. Just call me if you need my help.” James smiled slightly and left the military area.

It was nine in the morning.

Many powerful families from Cansington were gathered at the Watsons’ villa in Goodview Villa District.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, Thea was dressed in a white wedding dress. She had on a full face of
makeup.

At that moment, she looked like a gracious swan, glamorous and elegant.

Zavier, who was wearing a black suit with a flower in his front pocket, walked toward her.

Seeing her beauty, he grabbed her hand and looked at her in a daze.

“Thea, you’re so beautiful. It’s my greatest honor to marry you. I promise to treat you well forever.”

Thea smiled.

She had accepted it at this point.

Although she was forced to marry Zavier, she realized that being with him was not too bad.

However, she felt she had betrayed James.



James had treated her injuries. Throughout his time at the Callahans’, he had never uttered a word of
complaint.

‘Sorry, Jamie. I’ll make it up to you.’

She closed her eyes and murmured in her heart.
