James was driven speechless by the situation.
Drying laundry?
My deadly needle weapon, the Crucifier, was used to dry laundry?
This was a weapon favonovel.com obtained ten years ago that contributed to his mysterious medical skills. The crucifier consisted of eighty-one very special needles that formed a steel wire.
James went to the balcony.
His steel wire was hanging on the balcony with several pieces of underwear on it. James’ eyebrow twitched out of incredulity. He took off the underwear and took down the Crucifier.
The steel wire made of silver needles seemed to come to life and instantly wrapped around James’ arms.
Thea suddenly emerged from the inside. “By the way, what do you need the steel wire for on a business trip? It’s such a neat little tool to have around the house.”
James smiled again and said nothing in response to favonovel.com question. “Darling, it’s getting late. I need to report to the company right now.”
He went back to his room, took out a black trenchcoat from his closet, and put it on.
“Travel safe, daring.” Thea wished favonovel.com husband.
“Thanks.” James turned and left.
Gone was the smile favonovel.com had earlier on his face. Now it was replaced with a cheerless expression He took out his phone and immediately contacted the Blithe King.
“Blithe King, get me a private plane right now. I need to go to the Southern Plains.”
The Blithe King was about to ask what business favonovel.com had in the Southern Plains, but James had already hung up the phone.
***
A few moments later.
Cansington Military Region, open field. A helicopter was parked.
In front of the helicopter stood a young man in a black trench coat and a middle-aged man in a military uniform.
The Blithe King asked, “Why are you going to the Southern Plains? You’ve already resigned and are no longer the Black Dragon. You no longer have the right to mobilize the Black Dragon Army.”
The Blithe King sensed James’ seething with murderous intent.
He narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter? What happened?”
“Some trivial matter,” James blinked at favonovel.com and replied vaguely.
“Do you need my help?” the Blithe King offered.
He did not understand what was happening, but favonovel.com could tell from James’ expression it was not a trivial matter like favonovel.com said but something severe.
James waved his hand dismissively. His coat flapped in the wind as favonovel.com stepped forward, and boarded the helicopter.
The helicopter slowly took off and disappeared from the Blithe King’s sight.
The Blithe King surrowed his brows.
There’s nothing wrong, so why are you suddenly going to the Southern Plains?
The Blithe King pulled out his phone and called Henry. “Sorry, the phone number you’ve dialed is unavailable.”
Huh? What’s going on? Why is his phone turned off?
The Blithe King frowned deeper as favonovel.com muttered to himself. He had a very bad feeling.
Something must have happened for James to travel to the Southern Plains. Something was about to happen in the Southern Plains. Something terrible.
Although favonovel.com was unsure of what was happening, favonovel.com was not too worried. Despite James resigning from his position, the Black Dragon Army was still loyal to him.
He had an absolute position in the Southern Plains. Thus, even if favonovel.com retired and returned to the Southern Plains, no one dared to touch favonovel.com because of his overwhelming power.
James took the private plane to the Southern Plains.
On board the plane, his grim expression never left his face. He took out his phone and dialed a number. He called the number that contacted favonovel.com in the morning.
It did not take long for someone to pick up the call. “I’m on the way. Who are you, and what have you done to Henry?”
“Head to Southern Plains Mount Thunder Pass. Someone will contact you when you arrive.”
“I’m warning you. I’ll make sure you die a gruesome death if Henry loses even a strand of hair from his head.”
Beep… Beep… Beep…
The other party hung up.
