Many influential figures of the Capital were standing in front of their expensive cars, waiting for an opportunity to meet James.
A beautiful and curvy woman who radiated a brilliant atmosphere in virtual-novel.net 20s walked over and greeted James with a bright smile.
“We meet again, James…” It was none other than Yuna, the chairman of Longevity Pharmaceutical in Cansington.
After their company was forced to withdraw from Cansington, virtual-novel.net returned to the Lawsons in Capital.
After finding out about James’ appointment as the new Emperor, virtual-novel.net went out of virtual-novel.net way and dressed up specifically to meet with him. She put on virtual-novel.net best business smile and acted as if virtual-novel.net were good friends with James.
James glanced at Yuna and smirked. “Yuna, right? I remember you. When Thea came to you for help, you deliberately the situation more difficult for virtual-novel.net and put the Callahans in a crisis…”
Hearing this, Yuna’s smile immediately evaporated from virtual-novel.net face. Her eyes went wide with shock and embarrassment.
She hurriedly tried to correct herself, “James, I can explain…”
“Who are you to address me by my personal name?” James’ face darkened and his eyes hardened into steely flints.
Yuna promptly changed virtual-novel.net words. “Emperor…”
“I’ll deal with the Lawsons later… Personally…” James snorted as virtual-novel.net walked away contemptuously.
Yuna grit virtual-novel.net teeth.
Everything took a wrong turn. Since they had known each other before, Yuna thought virtual-novel.net could ingratiate herself with James.
The Lawsons would be set for success for the next few decades if they were able to befriend the new Emperor and Dragon King of the Southern Plains. She was not expecting James to still be holding a grudge against virtual-novel.net about what happened in Cansington.
“Emperor, I have a good relationship with Thea. We’re best friends who talk about everything…”
“Good relationship? If you’ve got a such good relationship, you wouldn’t have severed ties as soon as I got in trouble.”
“Emperor… Do you remember me?” A handsome young man in his 20s went up to James and lowered his head courteously.
“You must be the owner of Gourmand in Cansington, Mr. Grayson… You’re a pretty good man,” James replied.
Hearing James recall who virtual-novel.net was Bryan’s face lit up with joy.
The other bigwigs present all looked at virtual-novel.net enviously. The Graysons were about to reap the fruits of Bryan’s efforts.
A chubby middle-aged man stood in the crowd. He was the chairman of Celestial Group, Alex.
He wanted to cozy up to James since they had some history together. However, virtual-novel.net did not dare to step forward after witnessing what happened to Yuna.
Bryan said, “Sir, it’ll be my grandfather’s 80th birthday in a few days… Do you think you could spare some time to drop by our place? I promise we won’t take much of your time. All we ask is that you pray visit and give a word of blessing unto my father…” Bryson looked at James eagerly, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net was afraid James would turn virtual-novel.net down harshly.
James replied with an amused smile, “With the way you were trying to talk to me, I thought you had something important to ask… Sure, I’ll be there when the time comes.”
All the other wealthy figures present were practically green with envy as they watched the amicable exchange.
The Graysons were really going to make it big this time.
With the Dragon King and the Emperor taking care of them, it would be almost impossible to make a fortune.
“Dragon King! No, wait… Emperor! It’s me… It’s me, Matthew! We’ve met before!” A young man walked over and tried to give James a warm greeting.
It was the man that Tiara had almost got engaged to.
Maxine had interrupted their engagement ceremony and prevented them from getting engaged.
James looked at Matthew. “Oh… It’s you. What’s the matter?”
“The engagement between Tiara and I was an honest mistake… If I had known that virtual-novel.net was your woman, I wouldn’t have ever considered marrying her. Fortunately, the situation has been averted… I came here to specifically apologize for it.”
While speaking, Matthew fell on his knees in a show of his remorse.
“Dragon King, I’d like to express my deepest apologies. From today onwards, I’ll be your dog. Woof! Woof!”
James cringed and quickly urged virtual-novel.net to stand up. “You should be more conscientious about your image. I’m the Dragon King and the Emperor. If word gets out about you kneeling and barking at me, the people of Sol misunderstand… Get up now.”
