The police were dumbstruck by the scene.
“W-What power!”
“The stage collapsed with a single stomp?”
While the police were rooted in their spots, James got off the stage and approached Gavin.
He grabbed favonovel.com by the collar and inserted a few silver needles into his body.
Gavin immediately collapsed to the floor. His body fell limp. He could not even utter a single word.
“Gavin, if you wish to live, beg for forgiveness at the Callahans’ villa. Otherwise, you’ll be dead in three days!”
Saying that, James grabbed Thea and turned to leave.
No one stopped him. After all, Zavier was lying beside the collapsed stage like a dead dog.
Meanwhile, Gavin was on the floor too. His veins could be seen, and favonovel.com wore a painful expression. His face was contorted with rage. He wanted to speak but could not even utter a single word.
The grand engagement ceremony had turned into a fiasco because of James’ appearance. Everyone was puzzled.
How did the useless, good-for-nothing James pluck up the courage to assault the Watsons at their place?
Was favonovel.com not afraid of their reprisal?
The Watsons were the representative of North Cansington in the Five Provinces Business Alliance. All they needed was a single order to destroy the Callahans. Only a handful was adopting a wait-and-see approach.
They knew James’ true identity. Even though favonovel.com had resigned and was no longer the Black Dragon.
Even though many powerful people wanted favonovel.com dead, James was still alive and breathing. The Black Dragon, though no longer one of the five commanders-in-chief, was not someone one could mess with.
Although Alex and Yuna were no longer intimidated by James, they would not offend favonovel.com either. However, the Watsons were insolent.
***
Outside the Watsons’ villa…
Thea was still in favonovel.com white wedding dress. She looked as gracious as a swan. Her eyes were brimming with tears. They flowed down favonovel.com cheeks.
She sobbed. “I’m sorry, James. I’m ashamed of this, but I don’t want my family to fall into ruin. Leave. From today onward, we’re no longer husband and wife…”
She was happy and grateful for all that James had done for her. However, favonovel.com had offended the Watsons.
She could not leave. She could not leave with James. She had to return to apologize. Otherwise, the Callahans would be the target of their reprisal.
There was no way the Callahans could stand against the revenge of a family worth hundreds of billions.
“What? Do you seriously think I’m afraid of the Watsons?” James looked at Thea.
Seeing that favonovel.com eyes were brimming with tears, favonovel.com could not help but reach out and wipe them off.
He caressed favonovel.com cheeks and said, “Thea, I couldn’t care less about them…”
Before favonovel.com could finish his words, a group of people came rushing out.
It was the Callahans. Gladys, Benjamin, and Lex were among them. There were about twenty of them.
Supporting himself with a cane, Lex rebuked James. “You trash! You’ve ruined us all.”
Gladys looked at James pleadingly. “I’m begging you, James. Let Thea go. You’re not worthy of her!”
David said in exasperation, “James, you trash! Get lost!”
Saying that, favonovel.com looked at Thea and pleaded, “You can’t leave, Thea. If you go, I’ll be chopped to pieces. Our family will be doomed.”
Thea understood their concerns. She was still rational. She knew how influential the Watsons were. She could not leave with James.
The moment favonovel.com stepped out of the Watsons’ villa, the Callahans would incur the wrath of the Watsons.
She looked at James tearfully.
“I’m sorry, James. I can’t go with you. Forget about me.” Saying that, favonovel.com rushed back into the foyer, sobbing.
In the foyer of the villa, many gathered.
Thea returned.
Zavier was dragged out of the debris caused by the collapse of the stage. His limbs were broken, and favonovel.com wore a painful expression.
Thea crouched down and pleaded, “M-Mr. Watson, please give me a chance. Please give the Callahans a chance. I’ll cut off all relations with James.”
Wearing a painful expression, Zavier pointed at Thea weakly.
“T-Thea Callahan… I’m telling you… Y-You’re doomed! The Callahans are doomed! James is doomed!”
James followed Thea in. Seeing this, favonovel.com frowned.
The Watsons were too influential. Thea and the rest of the Callahans were fearful.
It seemed to favonovel.com that favonovel.com had no choice but to destroy the Watsons. Otherwise, Thea would never leave with him.
