Ch. 291..300
Chapter 291 In the end, the news channel showed the scene of James apologizing. Thea’s face immediately darkened after seeing James.
Quincy also frowned and mumbled, “What is this brat doing? Does he not want to live anymore? Why would he attack Kian?” “Are you alright, Thea?” Quincy asked, sensing that Thea did not look right. “I-I’m fine.” Thea waved her hands. It was enough for James to be embarrassing at home.
Now, he was embarrassing her by being all over the news.
“Thea, it’s not that I want to pry into your business, but James isn’t worthy of you at all. Why don’t I introduce you to Mr. Watson some other day?” “F-Forget it.” Thea waved her hand.
“Sigh” Quincy shook her head and secretly felt sorry for Thea.
Thea could surely find a better partner with her beauty and talents.
It was a waste for her to stubbornly stay with James.
After eating, Thea went back to the Pacific Group.
The Pacific Group had countless problems that she had to solve one by one.
On top of that, the company’s account had several hundred million dollars now. She planned to make good use of the money to expand the Pacific Group in the shortest possible time to obtain the qualifications to enter Transgenerational New City.
“Ms. Thea…”
Thea was focused on writing the company’s expansion plans when Larry suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the room.
“Hmm?”
Thea glanced at Larry. Larry put an invitation ion on the table and said, “This is an invitation sent by Dr. Fallon. The annual festival of the city of medicine is in half a month. Every clinic on the medical street will send strong medicine practitioners to participate in the event and win the title of genius doctor.
“Okay.”
Thea nodded.
She knew about the event.
As a Cansington resident, how could she have not heard of Cansington’s traditional festival?
The medical conference was held once annually.
Doctors from all the medical clinics on Medical Street would gather together during the conference.
Even doctors from different provinces came to prove themselves worthy of the title of genius doctor.
However, Jay Fallon never lost after winning the title of genius doctor twenty years ago. Thus, the genius doctor title belonged to him ever since.
“We’re probably just going to attend for the sake of it.”
Thea was aware of the Pacific Group’s strength. They did not even compare to Eternality.
Pacific Hospital was smaller in scale and only had a few medical practitioners. None of them were the best in Cansington, nor were they members of the Doctors’ Association. There were plenty of medical practitioners in Cansington. “James’ medical skills…” Thea thought of James. James had cured her twice. His medical skills were incredible and probably not inferior to Jay Fallon’s. Thea returned home in the evening. She did not get mad at James after he humiliated her on television. Instead, she pulled him into the room and told him about the conference happening on Medical Street in half a month. “A competition of medical skills?” James touched his chin. “This will be a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, James. As long as you stand out, no one will dare to call you useless anymore, and it’ll also enhance Pacific Group’s reputation,” said Thea. James had no interest in a competition of medical skills.
His medical skills were unparalleled in the world. He was the best in the world and knew it would be easy for him to win first place. “Will I be rewarded if I beat Dr. Fallon and get first place?” He smiled at Thea.
Thea thought about it for a while and said, “Yes, as long as you win first place, I’ll sleep with you! I won’t go back on my word!”
Chapter 292 No woman appreciated a useless man.
Thea was no exception. She knew that James was capable. Apart from everything else, at least he had very good medical skills.
James’ medical skills could definitely outperform more than 99% of the medical practitioners in Cansington’s Medical Street.
However, James had always been lazy.
Therefore, Thea wanted to encourage James.
She glanced at James eagerly.
Although her words were very tempting. James really did not want to be too showy. He had finally integrated into the lower society and really enjoyed his current life. “Why don’t you participate instead, darling?” “What do you mean, James? Just say you don’t want to go. What do you mean by me participating? I don’t know any medical skills and am not even familiar with medicine. Also, what were you doing today? Why did you attack a celebrity and embarrass yourself on television?”
She really wanted to have a proper conversation with James. However, James did not seem willing to cooperate.
She was immediately infuriated and brought up the incident she saw on television today.
“That’s not what I meant, darling. I meant to say I could secretly help you and help you win the title of genius doctor. Wouldn’t that be better to build the Pacific Group’s reputation?”
“Who are you kidding? Medicine is an extensive and profound subject that has been passed down for thousands of years. Plenty chase after medical knowledge all their lives but never get to the end of it. What can I do with just half a month?”
James said with a smile, “I believe in you. It’ll definitely work out. I only need to give you some pointers and teach you a few things…” “Forget it. Got to sleep…”
Thea did not think she could become a medical practitioner within just a half month time of practicing. Neither was she capable of standing out and winning the title of genius doctor at the medical conference.
Every doctor on Medical Street had been in the industry for decades and had rich field experience. She angrily lay down in bed.
James touched his nose.
He was sincere in what he said,
As long as Thea studied hard for balf a month, surpassing the other doctors and winning the title of genius doctor would not be difficult. Why did Thea not believe him? He also lay down in bed.
They did not speak all night, The next day! Thea headed to the company very early in the morning. James did not want to stay home, so he made an excuse to go out.
He did the same for the following days. Whenever Thea went out, he would go out, and whenever Thea returned home, he would also return home.
W
Three days passed. The night three days later. After dinner, Gladys said, “Thea, don’t go to the company tomorrow. Your grandma is going to be celebrating her birthday. Let’s go to North Cansington.”
Gladys felt ashamed whenever she went home because she married the useless Benjamin.
The rumors about Thea made her even more embarrassed to raise her head in front of others.
However, everything had passed.
Now, she had 80 million dollars in assets and a large villa worth several hundred million. Additionally, she owned 50% of the Callahans’ shares, and Thea was the chairman of the Pacific Group and had 90% of the company shares. She could finally raise her head this time when she went back home. Those who looked down on her in the past would finally look at her with admiration. “Alright.” Thea nodded.
In the past few days, she had finished dealing with Pacific Group in the past few days, and the company had started to operate on track. Thus, she could also relax a bit.
The next day. David took Alyssa, Gladys, and Benjamin in the 28-million-dollar limited edition Firarre back home first.
James touched his nose and asked, “Darling, this car was for you. How could you just let him drive it?”
“Nevermind.” 2
Chapter 293 Thea was not bothered by it. She did not like to be too flashy. The car would definitely attract a lot of attention if she drove it out.
Thea was not complaining, so James also did not say much.
He opened the Maserati door and got inside the driver’s seat. Thea hopped into the passenger seat, and they hurriedly drove toward the highway.
North Cansington was the neighboring city of Cansginton and also one of the country’s largest cities.
James drove at a very steady pace, neither too fast nor slow. After getting on the highway, he kept a speed of 120 miles per hour.
“James, let’s buy some gifts when we reach downtown North Cansington. I haven’t been to North Cansington in almost ten years and haven’t seen my grandparents for a long time. Since we’re going to celebrate my grandma’s birthday, we can’t present ourselves too shabbily,” Thea sat in the passenger seat and said. After speaking, she took out a card and handed it to James.
“This is a new card I just made. There are ten million dollars in it. You hold on to it first.”
“Why’re you giving me so much money, darling?”
“I’m giving it to you, so just take it.”
Although Thea had not been to North Cansington for ten years, she knew her uncles very well. Similar to her mother, they were also very power-hungry. She did not want James to be belittled in North Cansington,
James was unaware of Thea’s intentions.
“Darling, I’ve found a job and don’t need money. The company is currently in its development stage and will need the money. You keep it. I’ve enough from my salary.” Thea rolled her eyes at James. “You want to be embarrassed, but I don’t want to. My uncles have the same virtue as my mother.” James immediately understood after hearing this.
Thus, he quietly put away the card.
“By the way, you probably don’t know my mother’s side of the family yet. I’ll introduce you briefly, so you don’t embarrass yourself when we arrive.” “Oh, alright.”
“My grandfather is a soldier and has always worked in the army. Although he isn’t in a very high position, his family has always held onto very strong military principles. Therefore, plenty of my uncles worked in the army and are now dispatched to various government departments.”
Janes nodded as Xara’s admiration for soldiers was quite apparent.
Thea continued, “However, my grandfather knows it is not enough to simply join the army, so he trained a businessman, my youngest uncle.
“He’s currently a successful businessman with billions of dollars net worth.
“My cousin, Xara, whom you’ve met before, is this uncle’s daughter.” Thea briefly introduced a few things about the Hills. James listened attentively.
Thea reminded him, “Don’t spout any nonsense when we arrive there and don’t you try to brag. Whoever we meet, just follow me and greet them as I do, understand?” James nodded and said, “Okay, I definitely won’t embarrass you.”
After driving for more than two hours, James finally arrived at North Cansington.
The two did not rush to the Hills’ house and instead went to the city to pick out some gifts.
The two of them walked into a jewelry store. “Honey, what do you think is a suitable gift to buy?” Thea glanced at a few valuable gold and silver jewelry. She felt it would be a bit inappropriate to give such things to the elderly as they had already passed the age of wanting to wear jewelry like these. James also had no clue, so he shrugged his shoulders and replied, “You should just buy whatever you think is good.” “I remember my grandfather liked to smoke. However, my grandfather used to be a soldier and had been to many places. Plus, many of my relatives are high-ranking officials, so he must’ve already smoked all kinds of cigarettes. There probably isn’t anything I can buy for him,” said Thea “Why don’t you buy him cigarettes that aren’t available outside?” “Easy for you to say. Do you have connections to get them?” Thea rolled her eyes and scolded James. “Regarding this, I do have a way to get them.” James smiled brightly. A few cigarettes were not a big deal to him. Thea suddenly remembered that James also used to be a soldier. Moreover, he had been a soldier for ten years, and it would not be surprising for him to be acquainted with some high-ranking officials. Therefore, it would indeed not be a problem for him to get some premium cigarettes. “Then, what should we get for Grandma?” Thea began to worry again and immediately patted her forehead.
“Grandma is the most concerned about health. I should’ve gotten her some high-quality wild ginseng in Cansington.” “It doesn’t have to be bought in Cansington. I’m sure North Cansington should have some too,” said James. “What do you know? Cansington is the capital of medicine, and the medicine from the city is
famous all over the world. Although North Cansington is next to Cansington and also sells the same thing, the quality is far inferior to the ones from Cansington.”
“That’s not necessarily true. Let’s go around and see if we can buy some good ones.” Thea thought for a while, nodded, and agreed. “Alright, let’s look around.”
Chapter 294 Cansington was the capital of medicine.
Since North Cansington was next to Cansington, there were plenty of pharmacies here too. James and Thea strolled around the city and visited the most extensive pharmacy in North Cansigton, Primary Pharmacy. The pharmacy was large and very luxuriously decorated. A woman in a nurse’s uniform stood at the door to greet them.
The two walked inside.
Before entering through the door, they could smell the medicine.
“Welcome.”
The woman dressed in a nurse’s uniform stood at the door and smiled brightly. She greeted the couple with a smile and asked, “Is there something you two are looking for today?” “We’re looking to buy wild ginseng.” Thea went straight to the point. “Alright, this way, please.” The two came to a counter under the guidance of the nurse. There were quite a few gorgeously packaged boxes at the counter. The boxes were full of ginseng that had a pleasing fragrance. “This is ginseng unearthed from White Moutain. It is over ten years old and costs about three thousand dollars.” Although Thea was unfamiliar with ginseng, she understood that a higher grade came with a higher price. “Are there any higher grades?” “Do you have a budget?” The nurse’s eyes lit up, and she asked after hearing the question. “Of course. The more expensive, the better,” said Thea. “Please follow me this way.” The nurse knew she had met a lavish customer and immediately led the two to the second floor. There were higher grades on the second floor. More people were gathered here compared to the first floor. Many nurses dressed in uniform patiently introduced various precious herbal medicines and their health effects to the customers.
After arriving on the second floor, the various wild ginsengs were placed in front of the two ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 dollars,
Thea could not tell the value but felt that they were too ordinary.
She knew the virtues of the Hills very well and understood that such ordinary things were not enough to please them. “I- Is there anything more expensive?” asked Thea.
Upon hearing this, the nurse nodded immediately. “Of course, of course.”
She quickly took out large ginseng and introduced, “This is a one-hundred-year-old wild ginseng from Mount Shaman and costs three hundred and eighty thousand dollars.” Thea shook her head. “It’s too ordinary.”
The nurse was unhappy after hearing this, and the smile on her face vanished. “Are you two toying with me?” Lily Nolan glanced at them indifferently. She thought she had encountered a generous customer and thought that she could raise her performance if she sold a few expensive ginseng today.
Unlike what she expected, these two people kept talking but refused to buy anything despite her introductions.
“No, it’s just not too impressive,” Thea explained. Although Thea was unfamiliar with medicine, she was still from Cansington, and her family was also involved in the medical industry. Plenty of people had gifted Lex with ginseng before, and she had seen them a lot. Apart from the price, these few that were introduced were very ordinary
Lily looked at Thea.
Thea was pretty and very charismatic, but the man with her was very ordinary
“Could it be this really isn’t good enough for them?’ she thought in her heart.
“Just a moment.”
Lily asked them to wait and left.
Soon, she came back with a wooden box, placed it on the table, and opened it.
Inside was large ginseng covered in a bit of soil.
Thea’s eyes immediately lit up.
This one finally looked better. “Darling, what do you think about this one?” Thea glanced at James and asked.
James inspected it and commented, “This ginseng is so-so. Looking at its color, it must’ve grown in dark and damp soil. It has many impurities but should be at least three hundred years old. However, the quality isn’t the best because of its growth environment. Its quality would have increased by at least tenfold if it grew in a better environment.”
Hearing this, Thea glanced at the nurse and asked, “Is there anything better?”
Lily glanced at James disdainfully and said, “Don’t pretend to be an expert if you don’t know anything. What three hundred years? What do you mean by growing in dark and damp soil? This is a King of Ginseng that is five hundred years old. It’s a treasure in our store worth three inillion dollars.”
James shook his head slightly and did not bother to reason with someone unprofessional. “Let’s go look elsewhere,” James pulled Thea up and said. “Alright.” Thea nodded. “Stop!”
Lily shouted.
James shouted and turned to look at her. She pointed to the ginseng in the box on the table and said, “According to our shop rules, you must buy it after the box is opened. These boxes have already been opened. Let me calculate how much…”
Chapter 295 She took out her phone and calculated quickly. “That’ll be a total of four million three hundred and sixty-eight thousand dollars. I’ll round it up to four million three hundred dollars.”
“Ha!” James laughed.
“Don’t you have to look at stuff before purchasing it? What kind of store is this? Is this a scam?”
“You’re right, young man. You have to buy it after looking at it.”
A man suddenly approached from the distance. The man looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed in a black button-up shirt but only had two buttons up with a gold necklace around his neck Two burly men followed behind him.
Many customers turned to James and Thea.
They wore playful expressions knowing that a good show was about to unfold today.
The man approached them, glanced at the opened ginseng box on the table, and said with a smile, “This is Primary Pharmacy’s rule. Ginseng cannot be exposed to light, and it’ll lose its effects if exposed. You’ve opened so many and caused the decrease in quality, so how will I sell them to others now?
“Mr. Washington,” Lily greeted respectfully. She raised her head and glanced at James and Thea arrogantly after standing next to Washington.
She could tell from James and Thea’s accents that they were from Cansington and not North Cansington. Therefore, she had notified Washington, the person in charge of the pharmacy, before she took out the shop’s treasure The Xenos established the Primary Pharmacy.
The Xenos was an influential family in North Cansington and a representative family in the Five Provinces Business Alliance.
Washington Xenos was the third son of the family.
“What nonsense is losing its effect after being exposed to light? You guys are forcing your products onto customers to get sales. What will you do to me in broad daylight if I refuse to buy it?” Thea glanced at Washington and said coldly.
“Haha…”
Washington laughed out loud.
All the guests around them laughed and glanced at Thea as if they had heard a hilarious joke. “Everyone, why don’t you tell them? Isn’t it the shop’s rule to purchase once opened?” “Yes.”
The crowd nodded.
Thea face darkened after hearing this. “What if I don’t buy it?” James glanced at Washington and said indifferently. “You don’t buy it?” Washington’s face darkened, and he gestured to the two burly men behind him.
The two men were about 190 centimeters tall and weighed more than 90 pounds, approached with their fists clenched..
Crack! Crack!
They cracked their knuckles,
Thea was frightened. She immediately pulled James aside and whispered, “Honey, it seems this pharmacy has a very powerful background. Let’s just buy it and spend the money as a lesson.”
James held her hand and said, “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid.”
He took two steps forward, looked at the two burly men, and said lightly, “Kneel down right now, and I’ll spare you.”
“Haha…” Washington burst out laughing as if he had heard the best joke in the world.
“Brat. You’re the first to dare say that to me. Break his legs!”
“Yes, Mr. Washington!”
The other customers watched as if it was an interesting show. Primary Pharmacy was indeed a notorious business. However, it never cheated the locals, and they were even given discounts if they displayed their social security cards while making payments.
Primary Pharmacy specialized in scamming outsiders.
Many people had gone bankrupt because of them.
The Xenos was a very influential family, and these outsiders who had been scammed had no one to help them or defend themselves.
The two burly men walked toward James. Many people watched playfully, and it seemed as if they could already picture James beaten to the ground, kneeling while begging for mercy. Some onlookers even took out their phones, planning to film the scene to send to their circle of friends.
Meanwhile, James maintained a calm expression. “Kneel down, brat…”
One of the burly men raised his hand and swung it at James’ face.
His swing was at full force, and there was a whistling sound. James raised his hand slightly and blocked the hand swung toward him.
Immediately afterward, he lifted his foot and kicked the opponent’s chest.
His seemingly ordinary lick contained a terrifying amount of strength. The burly man that weighed more than go kilograrns was sent flying several meters away and slammed into the counter, groaning in pain.
Silence. The place went dead silent. Everyone’s eyes filled with fear as they looked at James.
Chapter 296 James blocked the attack and counterattacked with a kick The big man weighing more than 90 kilograms was sent flying out just like that.
Washington’s face darkened.
This man had a death wish for him to dare beat up his men in his territory. “Brat, do you know where are you right now? This is North Cansington. I don’t know what kind of background you have, but in North Cansington, even a dragon or tiger would have to bow before me. Get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness. I’ll consider sparing you if you do so,” Washington threatened with an angry expression.
Seeing that James was about to fight again because of a conflict, Thea quickly pulled him.
“Forget it, darling.”
James did not want to waste time with Washington anymore.
Thus, he nodded in agreement. However, Washington’s eyes were attracted to Thea’s beauty. She was tall, fair-skinned, and had long silky hair. Thea was indeed a gorgeous woman. Washington glanced at James’ calm expression and Thea’s worried expression. Then, he
sneered, “It’s not going to be easy for you to leave.”
He took out his phone and instantly made a phone call. James did not want to stoop to their level, so he quickly took Thea’s hand and left. “Stop them!” The other bodyguard suddenly clenched his fist and swung it toward James.
James immediately turned around.
His body slightly lifted from the ground as he turned around. He raised his leg and precisely hit the man’s forehead.
The man’s head turned, and his whole body flew toward the counter.
Clank!
The glass counter shattered in an instant.
Some valuable medicinal herbs such as ginseng and deer antler were also scattered all over the floor.
Meanwhile, James stood steadily. Washington was shocked. He knew his two bodyguards’ strength. Seeing that both of them had been defeated, he knew that he had encountered a difficult person today. However, North Cansington was the Xenos’ territory.
He was fearless.
This man could take down two, but could he take down twenty or even two hundred?
His face filled with terrifying anger. The surrounding customers were all shocked. This guy seemed a little overpowered.
Two burly men were defeated in an instant.
“Do you still want me to buy it?” James wore a mocking smile on his face.
Washington’s face was darkened, and he remained silent. Instead, he glanced at Lily standing beside him and instructed, “Take note of all the medicinal herbs he damaged. He will be compensating us a hundredfold.”
“Noted!”
Lily immediately went to record the damaged goods.
James was slightly intrigued.
He wanted to see what kind of tricks Washington was about to play.
Meanwhile, Thea had a worried expression as she kept pulling James. She whispered, “Honey, we’re in North Cansington. Don’t cause trouble here. Let’s just finish shopping and leave.”
“Don’t worry, darling. We’re in a civilized era ruled by law. I don’t believe this guy can do anything to me,” James waved his hand and reassured Thea.
“Haha!”
Washington burst out laughing. “Civilized era ruled by law? I make the laws in Primary Pharmacy. You’ll have to kneel if I ask you to kneel.”
James sat down with an indifferent expression.
However, Thea was extremely anxious.
She continuously tried to persuade James to leave.
Unfortunately, James was not listening to her.
She had no choice but to step to the side, take out her phone and secretly call the police. Washington noticed her actions but did not stop her.
Instead, he sneered in his heart.
Calling the police? ‘Is calling the police going to help? “This is North Cansington. The Xenos are the most influential existence in North Cansington. The police are only going to arrest James and Thea when they arrive on the scene.” Soon, Lily finished recording the damaged goods. “Mr. Washington. I’ve finished taking notes. A total of one hundred forty-five thousand
dollars worth of medicinal herbs have been destroyed.
Washington also sat down. He crossed his legs and lit a cigar. His two bodyguards had already got back up and were standing behind him. Washington glanced at James and sneered, “Did you hear that? You’ve damaged one hundred forty-five thousand dollars worth of precious medicinal materials. The compensation will be one hundred times which is fourteen million five hundred thousand dollars. Washington had the confidence that he could suppress Thea and James. Although James was dressed in average clothes, Thea had on famous brands, and her whole outfit added up to more than one million dollars. She must be from a wealthy family to be able to be dressed like that.
Extorting more than 10 million dollars from them was completely reasonable. He was not afraid of Thea’s background. Whatever great background she could have was a fart in front of the Xenos
Chapter 297
James wore a nonchalant expression.
At this moment, the employees had already driven out all the customers in the store, leaving only James and Thea left on the second floor.
Stomp, stomp, stomp!
Rapid footsteps approached them. Soon, dozens of people arrived on the second floor. These people appeared with iron rods, machetes, electric batons, and some even carrying bricks.
“Mr. Washington.”
A man in his twenties approached and greeted respectfully.
Thea’s face went pale after seeing the dozens of armed men.
Meanwhile, James still had a calm expression.
Washington laughed and stood up. “Haha. Brat, show me how you’re going to be arrogant now. Immediately kneel down and apologize. I promise to let this matter go after breaking your legs and playing with your wife for a few days. Or else…”
James’ face immediately darkened.
He could endure any threats against him. However, there was only one end for those who tried to mess with Thea- death!
“Or else what?”
James stood up
“Honey…” Thea promptly tugged onto him and tried to persuade him, “Don’t act impulsively. There are so many of them, and we’re only going to suffer. I’ve already called the police, and they should be arriving very soon.” “Haha…I’m afraid the police won’t be able to make it today,” Washington laughed.
Thea immediately understood the meaning of his words, and her expression changed.
She attempted to pull James away but was surrounded by muscular men.
Her face instantly turned pale. James said with a furious expression, “You won’t ever learn your lesson if I don’t teach you one today…”
“Kill him!”
Washington roared.
The dozens of men immediately charged toward and swing their weapons at James.
“Ah!!!”
Thea screamed in horror and closed her eyes. James pulled Thea and quickly rushed at Washington.
While charging forward, James quickly clenched his arm and attacked.
One of the men that rushed to the front was hit in the chest. His whole body seemed to curve, and he flew out, hitting the people behind him.
James picked up Thea and jumped two meters high, attacking with his legs.
A man stumbled backward after being hit.
Then, stepping on another man’s shoulder, he instantly appeared in front of Washington.
He put down Thea and picked up Washington, throwing him aggressively toward those charging at him “Argh…”
“That hurts…”
“Mom…”
“Ouch…”
There were sounds of painful groans and the sound of things breaking throughout the second floor.
After a few minutes, all the men were on the ground,
James had already sat down.
Thea was snuggled in his arms with her eyes closed tightly and arms tightly wrapped around his shoulders.
She did not dare to open her eyes.
Until there was no more movement, she finally opened her eyes, and a familiar face entered her sight.
“Are you alright?” she sighed. She noticed her arms wrapped around James’ shoulders and blushed while quickly moving away from him.
She got up, turned to scan the room, and saw dozens of men lying on the ground in the chaotic pharmacy. Countless medicinal herbs were scattered all over the floor.
Thea screamed in shock and leaped into James’ arms again.
James stretched out his arms and embraced her.
“Everything’s alright. What could’ve gone wrong? It’s not that I want to brag, but these three to five dozen people are nothing to me,” he said with a smile.
“B-Brat! Do you know who I am?”
Washington stumbled as he got up from the floor.
However, James picked up a cup from the table and abruptly threw it at him.
Clang!
The cup smashed into Washington’s head.
Washington’s head started to bleed, and his face was dyed red in an instant as he rolled on the ground in pain. Seeing this scene, Thea’s face turned pale from fear, and she said frantically, “Honey, Let’s get out of here quickly. The police will be arriving soon. You’ve done something bad.”
“It’s alright. It seems there is very bad collusion between the business world and the police in this country. It’s time to get it resolved,” James waved his hand and said.
In fact, the police had arrived long ago but stayed outside and did not come inside.
It was because Washington had already contacted them. “Brat, you’re dead! I won’t be Washington anymore if I don’t kill you!” Washington rolled on the floor in pain and roared fiercely. “Captain Dean, bring the men up quickly! My shop was destroyed!”
Chapter 298 Thea was frightened the moment she heard the police were coming Initially, she was not afraid of them showing up. They were in the right, and the pharmacy was trying to scamn their customers, forcing them to purchase goods. However, James had injured so many people now. This matter was not a serious problem, nor was it a small problem.
To say it was small was because it could be settled with a few words. To say it was serious was because James could get imprisoned for fighting and hurting people. “What do we do, honey? What can we do? Oh, right! The Hills have people in the military region. I’ll call them for help.” Thea suddenly had an idea and wanted to make a phone call.
James prevented her promptly. “Darling, it’s alright. It’s really alright. You don’t have to call others and trouble them. I’ll settle this, okay? Trust me…”
The sound of footsteps came closer at this moment.
A dozen policemen rushed to the second floor.
The policemen were dumbfounded to see the second floor smashed to pieces and dozens of men lying on the ground.
They glanced at James, who was calmly sitting down.
Was he the one who beat up all these people?
“You’re finally here, Captain Dean!” Washington covered his head and endured the pain as he got up. Then, he pointed at James ferociously and shouted, “That’s him! Detain him immediately! I want him to live the rest of his life in prison.” Dean Hunter glanced at James and immediately ordered, “Grab him.”
A few police officers instantly took out their guns and cautiously walked toward James.
He brought down dozens of men alone and was definitely an easy opponent. They had to be extremely careful. “Who dares to touch me?”
James took out an identity card.
“Hold on…”
Dean immediately stopped the men, walked over, and glanced at the identity in James’ hand.
The identity card was in black and had a black dragon depicted on it with a few words written below-General of the Southern Plains.
Dean was stunned for a moment to see these words and burst out laughing.
“Haha, brat, don’t you know that impersonating an officer is a criminal offense?” “Really?”
“Since that’s the case, then I should be able to make a phone call right now, right?” James put it away with an embarrassed expression and said. Dean saw James’ confident demeanor and was slightly shaken in his heart. ‘What if this brat really had an influential background?’
Washington roared, “What’re you doing, Captain Dean? Stop wasting time and detain him!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Washington. Let him make a call. I’m curious to see who he can call.”
Dean did not dare to offend Washington but, at the same time, was afraid that James had a very influential background.
After all, it was impossible for an ordinary person to bring down so many people alone.
James walked aside and made a phone call.
Thea was puzzled by the situation.
What was the thing that James took out just now? All she saw was that it was black She could not catch a glimpse of what it looked like and what was written on it.
James directly called Daniel.
“It’s me. I’m at Primary Pharmacy in North Cansington. The boss here forced me to buy some stuff. He even called some men and got the police dispatched. Figure something out. By the way. you only have ten minutes. I’ll report it to your higher-up if it isn’t resolved within ten minutes.”
James hung up after explaining the situation.
Daniel was terrified.
It was obvious that he meant to look for the Blithe king by saying he had to report it to his higher-up if it was not resolved in ten minutes. He hurriedly called Chase Nolan from the North Cansington Military Region. Thea looked at him suspiciously and inquired, “Who did you call?”
James said with a smile, “Of course I reported it. The Blithe King had just been promoted, and no one in the five provinces dared to cause trouble. I never imagined such forceful selling tactics to be happening in North Cansington. Just wait for a bit. Some people are on their way to dealing with it soon.
Dean initially expected James to have a very tough background.
Unexpectedly, he simply made a phone call to report the incident.
He laughed. “Who did you report it to, brat? Don’t you know that this is the Xenos’ property? Who dares to get involved in a report against the Xenos?”
“Captain Dean, why are you talking so much to him? What’s taking so long? I’m going to die for excessively bleeding!” Washington’s forehead was smashed open, and he had shed a lot of blood. He would surely pass out if he did not go to a hospital immediately. At this moment, he was already feeling a little dizzy in his head.
“Grab him!”
Dean ordered.
The police approached again. Thea’s face tumed pale in fright. She stood aside and held tightly onto James. James pulled her and directed her to sit down. Then, he stood up and glared indifferently at the policeman slowly approaching him.
Chapter 299 James glanced at the policemen in front of him. There were a total of eleven of them, and four approached with guns. He stretched his hand behind his back and took out eleven silver needles. Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
The policemen were nearing in on him.
James waves his hand abruptly.
Four silver needles flew out like hidden weapons and accurately pierced into the wrists of four policemen.
“Argh!!!” Screams sounded.
The four guns immediately fell to the floor.
James waved his hand again.
Several silver needles flew out and sank into the other policemen’s bodies, accurately piercing their acupuncture points. Their bodies felt numb and were unable to move anymore.
The scene shocked Dean.
Washington was also terrified.
“How?”
Thea was also stunned.
She had been with James for so long and never knew that James had such strange combat skills.
It was shocking enough that he took down dozens of people. Now, he was firing silver needles and subduing so many police officers with a wave of the hand.
James sat down again. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff. Then, he looked at Dean and said, “Captain Dean, right? I’m actually saving you right now. You would’ve been in big trouble if you detained me today.”
Dean glanced at the police officers that were immobilized in place, and he started sweating profusely. ‘What kind of sorcery is this?’ James calmly sat on the chair. Thea glanced at the dozens of people on the floor in confusion. She looked at the police officers standing still with a pained expression. Then turned to Dean, who was sweating profusely. Lastly, she glanced at Washington, who had passed out from fright. In the end, her eyes were fixated on James. ‘What else is my husband capable of doing?’
Time passed by minute by minute.
Ten minutes later.
Wee-woo! Wee-woo!
A siren sounded outside the building.
Soon, footsteps approached.
A few fully armed soldiers appeared. The person in the lead was Chase, dressed in a neat uniform with a star badge on his shoulder.
“General Nolan?”
Thea greeted enthusiastically. The last time she saw him was during Lex’s Both birthday celebration. Chase had shown up at the House of Royals to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday. He was the top-ranked military personnel of North Cansington. Chase had come instantly after receiving a call from Daniel. Daniel scolded him very aggressively through the phone, saying that he had to arrive within ten minutes to solve the problem. Otherwise, he could wait to be dismissed.
Chase frowned upon seeing Thea. ‘Why is it the Callahans again? He was still puzzled by the incident at the House of Royals. Although his secretary was the one who made a mistake, it was unnecessary for him to be dismissed. He had inquired about the dismissal after returning to North Cansington but could not figure out what had happened.
Seeing Thea again after receiving a call from Daniel, Chase immediately realized that there must be someone of significant influence in the Callahans.
He glanced at James and felt a little familiarity for some reason. Suddenly, his face was full of fear.
“Black..”
James glanced at him and said, “General, these people are forcing customers to purchase their goods. They have even colluded with the police. What do you think about it?”
“They will be thoroughly investigated and punished. I’ll surely give you a satisfactory explanation!” Chase immediately understood James’ intention and replied. “It’s also an explanation to society,” James waved his hand and said.
Chase took a deep breath. The Black Dragon! It was the Black Dragon!
He was the big boss in the military region. More than a year ago, he had witnessed the appointment of the Black Dragon as a general. Chase could not immediately recognize him
because he watched the succession ceremony from a back seat.
Chapter 300 James pulled Thea out of Primary Pharmacy.
James was a little speechless by the situation. How did so much trouble happen just from buying ginseng? They left the pharmacy and stood on the streets.
Thea shook off James’ hands and stretched out her slender hands.
“Take it out.”
“Huh?
“Take what out?” James was taken aback and clarified with Thea. “Don’t act dumb. Do you think I didn’t see the black card you took out just now?”
James took out his Back Dragon identity card, and Thea immediately snatched it from him.
“General of the Southern Plains.”
Thea burst out laughing after reading the words on the identity card.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Do you have nothing better to do, James? At least make a decent and realistic identity card. Why would you fake a General of the Southern Plains identity card?”
James touched his nose.
Before he could say anything else, Thea walked toward the trash can and threw away the identity card.
“You…”
James opened his mouth but did not say anything.
“Stop doing such unethical things. Faking a false identity card, especially a military officer’s identity card, is a big crime,” Thea scolded.
“Oh, okay.” James snorted helplessly as he glanced at the trash can and silently remembered the location of this street. He would have to get Chase to help him pick it up later. “Also…”
Thea stretched out her hands again.
“Huh? There isn’t anymore. I only made one fake identity card. How could I have any more? “The silver needles.”
“Oh.”
James took out a large number of silver needles. There were about fifty of them.
Thea held the silver needles and inspected them left and right. They were ordinary silver needles and had nothing special about them.
“T-This?” Thea asked,
“I studied medicine, so I carry some silver needles with me just in case.” James smiled.
“By the way, previously…”
James knew what Thea wanted to say, so he instantly picked up a silver needle and inserted it into her while she was distracted,
Thea felt a numbness in her chest instantly.
The numbness spread throughout her body in a flash, and she was unable to move, not even the strength to open her mouth. James smiled and quickly pulled out the need. “It’s that simple,” he said.
Thea was shocked.
It was incredible.
A silver needle could have such a miraculous effect,
Thea recollected herself and asked, “How did you do it?” James explained with a smile, “It’s quite simple. You just need to understand some basic, common knowledge of acupuncture points, and you’re good to go.” “Nonsense.” Thea rolled her eyes. ‘Wouldn’t all the medical practitioners in Cansington’s Medical Street be able to perform such skills if they only needed to understand some basics?’
She had never heard of immobilizing a person with just a simple needle.
This was something she had only seen in martial arts movies on television
James smiled and did not continue explaining Thea would not understand even if he explained since she had no knowledge of medical partitioning He did not explain and simply changed the subject. “We haven’t got a gift yet. What should we do? We can’t just go empty-handed, can we?”
Thea glanced at the time.
It was already ten in the morning.
She was not in a rush and planned to visit the Hills’ house first.
They could still come out in the afternoon after visiting the Hills’ house since Thea’s grandmother’s birthday was tomorrow.
In case it really does not work out, they could still make a trip back to Cansington and buy a gift, then return early the following day. After all, it was only a two hours drive back to Cansington
“Let’s go to the Hills’ house first.”
“Alright.”
James nodded.
The two walked toward the nearby parking lot.
When passing by a public toilet, Thea said, “I-I need to go to the washroom.” she quickly ran toward the public toilet after informing James.
Meanwhile, James called Daniel.
“J- James, has everything been resolved?”
