“Cynthia…”
“I don’t care. I don’t care!” Cynthia started to wail.
“Alright, let’s go down and take a look.”
…
On the first floor.
James looked at Sean, Francis, and the hotel manager Dominic. He said, “I’m looking forward to seeing how you finish me off.”
“I’m sorry.”
Thea stepped forward, an apologetic look on her face. She bowed deeply and apologized. “Mr. Leland, Mr. Bertrand, I’m sorry. Please accept my apology on behalf of James.”
“Darling, what are you doing?” James yanked Thea back, an annoyed look on his face. “Why are you apologizing? It’s them who should be sorry.”
Sean said coldly, “Did you think an apology would be enough, Thea? Let me tell you. This isn’t over. I will not rest until James is dead.”
Just then, a group of people walked down the stairs.
Dominic hurried over to Zack at once, pointing at the security guards on the floor and then at James. “It’s him, boss. The son-in-law of the Callahans, James.”
Thea’s face changed again as she saw who approached.
It was over.
The Watsons and the Xenoses were still hell-bent on revenge, and they had stepped on the Xenoses’ toes once more.
Dead. They were dead.
James spotted them as well.
The Xenoses had shown up before he even had to go to them.
Today, he was going to solve the Callahans’ problems once and for all.
“Darling, go home.”
“What? How can I leave now?” Thea was so worried she almost burst into tears.
She started to bend her knees, planning to kneel and apologize to the Xenoses.
James grabbed her and pulled her up forcefully. He said, “Xara, take Thea home.”
“Got it.”
Xara nodded.
She knew James’ true identity. There was nothing to be concerned about.
“Let’s go, Thea.”
She grabbed Thea and started walking off.
“James…” Thea called.
James smiled at her. “Go on. I’ll be fine.”
The Xenoses did not stop them either, letting Xara leave with Thea.
Zack looked at the security guards who had just shown up. He said, “Get all the customers out. The hotel will pay for everything today.”
The guards started shepherding people out at once.
Cynthia rushed over and grabbed James’ arm, her face one of gratitude. “We meet again! You’re the former General of the Southern Plains, the Black Dragon! I’m a fan!”
