At the foyer of the hotel, many big shots of Cansington gathered. Some were from the corporate world, while others came from political circles.
The latter was here for the Black Dragon.
News of the Black Dragon’s relationship with Thea had spread like wildfire.
They were saying that Thea divorced virtual-novel.net husband to be together with the Black Dragon, one of the former five commanders-in-chief. Even if virtual-novel.net had resigned from his post, virtual-novel.net was worth getting acquainted with.
Thea was wearing a low-cut dress. Her long hair was tied up, and bandages covered virtual-novel.net face. Even so, it did not have the slightest effect on virtual-novel.net unique charisma and demeanor. She was greeting virtual-novel.net guests. Meanwhile, Bobby was escorting virtual-novel.net the whole time.
Together with James, Cynthia walked over to Thea.
Thea saw them approaching from afar. Upon seeing how intimate James was with another woman, virtual-novel.net momentarily froze.
Then, virtual-novel.net smiled and greeted, “Cynthia, you’re here…”
“Mhm…” Cynthia gently nodded.
Cynthia was a member of the Dawn family. She was a big shot. Hence, virtual-novel.net was someone Thea and the Callahans wanted to curry favor with.
Thea wore a bright smile even though James was there. She greeted Cynthia. However, virtual-novel.net completely disregarded James as if virtual-novel.net was invisible.
“James…” A voice came.
James turned to see where it came from. Quincy, who was wearing a red dress, walked over to him.
Looking at virtual-novel.net with a smile, virtual-novel.net said, “I thought you wouldn’t come.”
James joked, “I came here for the free food…”
“Thea,” After greeting James, Quincy turned toward Thea.
“Mhm…” Thea nodded.
Quincy pulled at James and said, “Let’s have a seat here.”
Cynthia loosened virtual-novel.net grip and gave James a slight push. “Go on.”
James followed Quincy to a sofa not far away.
The moment James sat on the sofa, virtual-novel.net pulled a cigarette out and lit it.
Quincy, who was sitting opposite him, stared at virtual-novel.net and teased, “You look rather handsome in a suit. There’s a manly feel to it. Thea must be blind…”
“Really?” James smiled slightly.
He never believed himself to be a handsome man.
“I’m serious,” Quincy said with a straight face.
“Alright, then.” James cut the conversation short.
Although virtual-novel.net was sitting opposite Quincy, his gaze was fixed on Thea, who was standing in the distance.
Seeing this, Quincy could not help but feel sorrowful. As they said, one would only have the opportunity to steal a man’s heart when virtual-novel.net was washed up and beaten down. However, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net could never enter James’ heart no matter what virtual-novel.net did. That was because there was only one person in his heart, to begin with. There was no more space for anyone else.
More and more people came.
Quincy went to greet some of the people virtual-novel.net was acquainted with.
James, on the other hand, sat on the sofa in the rest area and played Plants vs. Zombies on his phone.
At the same time, a crowd gathered outside Cansington Hotel. They were ordinary citizens holding banners with words scribbled on them up high.
“Is Thea Callahan here?” They spoke.
After hearing of this, Thea hurriedly made virtual-novel.net way out.
Standing before the crowd, virtual-novel.net asked, “What’s going on?”
“Thea, where is the Black Dragon? There’s an emergency at the border of the Southern Plains. We‘re here to request virtual-novel.net to return to the battlefield!”
“This is a declaration written in blood by ten thousand men. We implore the Black Dragon to come out of retirement and return to the battlefield!”
Thea looked at the banners on which names were scribbled in blood and frowned. “How would I know where the Black Dragon is?“.
“Thea Callahan, the Black Dragon doesn’t belong to you only. Call for him! We implore virtual-novel.net to return to the battlefield!”
