Soon, James was back.
He pushed the door of Common Clinic open and walked in.
Whitney immediately stood up and greeted, “Hey, James.”
“Mhm.”
James lightly nodded and looked at Thea, whose eyes were glued to the screen. He walked over there and sat beside her. “Are you alright, Thea?”
“Yes.”
Thea looked at James and pointed at the TV. “W-What’s going on? G-Gavin’s dead?’
James nodded and said, “I know that the Watsons are influential. Since calling the police wouldn’t work, I reported them to the military. The higher-ups took my report seriously, and the Blithe King himself led an army to Osmanthus villa and exterminated them all. Since Gavin resisted arrest, he was killed on the spot.”
“By the way, Maximus is dead too. With him gone, there’ll be no one else targeting the Callahans.”
“T-The Blithe King himself?” Thea was shocked.
“Of course. This is Cansington which the Blithe King holds jurisdiction over. He would not stand idly and watch these wicked people act as they wished.”
James grabbed Thea’s hand and said, “Thea, you have to learn to use legal instruments to protect yourself. There’s no single person in Sol that’s all-powerful. There will always be an upholder of justice. The Blithe King is one of them.”
“I see.”
Thea nodded.
Immediately, she was reminded of something.
“What about my brother?”
James said, “He was sent to the hospital. Let me bring you home first. We’ll visit him later.”
Thea did not think much of it.
It was all thanks to James that they narrowly escaped death.
If not for James’ report to the military…
She did not dare imagine the consequences.
James grabbed Thea’s hand and stood up to leave.
“J-James…” Whitney spoke.
“Hmm?”
James looked at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
