Chapter 409

Zavier collapsed.

Thud!

A loud sound came from the stage.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“James…”

A cold voice came.

Gavin, who was in a suit, headed toward James. Enraged, he glared at James.

James returned the glare. “Hmph.”

Then, he turned to leave.

“Stop him!” Gavin roared.

In an instant, a dozen security guards surrounded James. There were even members of the police
force among them.

They blocked James’ path.

“Standing in my way?”

James’ face darkened.






“Let go of Thea, you trash!” Gladys exclaimed, “Haven’t you brought enough shame to us already? Get
out of my sight this instant!”

James paid no attention to her. Seeing the number of security guards and police, Thea was worried.
She gripped James’ hand and whispered, “Y-You should leave first, James. They’re rich and powerful.
There’s no way you can beat them.”

“Leave?”

James looked at her and said, “Leave my wife behind?”

“I…”

Thea’s voice trembled. She did not expect things to turn out this way. Gavin walked toward them and
said coldly, “James, you’re no longer the James of the past.”

“Indeed.”

James did not deny it. He continued, “I’m no longer the James of the past. Even so, no one gets away
with going against me. Zavier brought this upon himself. The Watson family is digging its own grave.”

James headed back on stage.

Zavier was still lying there. Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, James grabbed him by the collar and
lifted him. “Even so, no one bullies my wife. No one gets away with picking on the Callahans. I’ll show
you what it means to stand against us…” Saying that, he stomped on Zavier’s knee.

“Argh!” Zavier cried out in pain. He had a distorted facial expression. So James stomped again. This
time, the bones in his other knee shattered.

Then, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it with great force.



Crack!

Zavier was crippled.

Finally, he was thrown onto the ground like a dead dog.

“Argh! It hurts! Father, kill him!”

Zavier yelled in pain.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

How brave of the Callahans’ son-in-law! How dared he cripple Zavier in the Watsons’ villa?

The police pointed their guns at James. Thea’s face was pale.

Gavin’s face darkened.

Quincy, who was on the stage, was stunned. “This is what happens.” James’ voice reverberated
throughout the foyer. “I’ll make this clear. From today onward, anyone who hits on my wife will suffer
terrible consequences. To anyone who dares target the Callahans, I’ll make sure your life becomes a
living hell.”

James’ words were cold, brutal, and commanding.

“Get him!”

Gavin trembled in rage.

‘You’re just a decommissioned general. You’re not one of the five commanders-in-chief anymore. How
dare you act so insolent!” The police slowly approached the stage.



James lifted his leg and stomped the stage.

The stage shook.

Rumble!

Then, the whole structure collapsed.
