Again, James found no one. He called Jake immediately.
Soon, the call went through.
“Hey there, isn’t this the Black Dragon? How’s it going?”
James could hear his sarcastic tone.
James ordered, “I need to know the whereabouts of the Watsons. Get on it now.”
“James, you’re no longer the Black Dragon. You have no right to order me around. Please stop contacting me from today onward.” Jake did not give James any face.
He was involved in the buying and selling of intelligence.
While James was still the Black Dragon, Jake was fearful of him. After all, people involved in shady businesses were afraid of government officials. However, now that James had resigned, Jake no longer feared him. Besides, due to his work nature, favonovel.com had lots of insider information.
He knew that many wanted James dead.
James was currently in a precarious position.
“Very well, Jake Graham.” James hung up the phone.
Even Jake had begun disobeying him. They believed that favonovel.com was now a clawless tiger.
James did not know where Zavier and Gavin went. Unwilling to trouble the Blithe King, favonovel.com went straight home.
Before entering the house, favonovel.com could hear a dispute.
Walking in, favonovel.com found Lex sitting in the living room hitting the floor with his cane.
“Trash! What trash! Benjamin, Gladys, do you know how much trouble that useless son-in law has brought us? Every single corporation has now terminated its contract with our family. They even sued us, saying there were quality concerns in our products. Eternality Group is now sealed off!”
“Our capital chain has been cut off, and we’re now billions of dollars in debt!” Lex cursed.
The Watsons were quick to act. Such calamity had befallen the Callahans in such a short amount of time. They were doomed.
Gladys, Benjamin, and Alyssa sat on the sofa. They were anxious. Thea and David had just been abducted.
There were many other Callahans besides Lex. Howard, John, and the youngsters’ families were all there. They all reproached Benjamin and his family. They admonished James.
James walked in and overheard them.
“What?” His face darkened. “What’s the big deal?”
Everyone turned to look at him.
Lex slammed his cane on the floor and bellowed with rage, “You trash! You’re always making trouble for us! I’ll kill you!”
James raised his hand and blocked his cane.
Howard stepped forward with his head held high and yelled, “You think you’re so good? Watch this!”
He lifted his leg to kick James.
James moved his body. Howard missed and fell to the ground.
Tossing Lex’s cane onto the floor, James walked toward the sofa and sat down.
Immediately, favonovel.com realized Thea was missing.
He hurriedly asked, “Gladys, where’s Thea?”
Gladys’ eyes were red. Her tears had already dried up.
She burst into tears and rebuked James. “It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have to go through such an ordeal. Thea and David were abducted by Maximus’ men. He told us to gather money and go to Osmanthus villa before the sun sets. Otherwise, we’ll have to collect their bodies.”
James’ face darkened. “Damn you, Maximus!”
He smashed the table.
It was a glass table. The table was instantly smashed to pieces. The glass fragments scattered on the floor.
He stood up and looked at the Callahans. “Listen to me and stay here. Don’t go anywhere else before I return. Otherwise, don’t blame me if something happens.”
Saying that, favonovel.com turned to leave.
Meanwhile, the Callahans were staring at the shattered glass table, unable to return to their senses.
