Soon, James was back.
He pushed the door of Common Clinic open and walked in.
Whitney immediately stood up and greeted, “Hey, James…”
“Mhm.” James lightly nodded and looked at Thea, whose eyes were glued to the screen.
He walked over there and sat beside her. “Are you alright, Thea?”
“Yes…” Thea looked at James and pointed at the TV. “W-What’s going on? G-Gavin’s dead?’
James nodded and said, “I know that the Watsons are influential. Since calling the police wouldn’t work, I reported them to the military. The higher-ups took my report seriously, and the Blithe King himself led an army to Osmanthus villa and exterminated them all. Since Gavin resisted arrest, favonovel.com was killed on the spot.”
“By the way, Maximus is dead too. With favonovel.com gone, there’ll be no one else targeting the Callahans.”
“T-The Blithe King himself?” Thea was shocked.
“Of course. This is Cansington which the Blithe King holds jurisdiction over. He would not stand idly and watch these wicked people act as they wished.”
James grabbed Thea’s hand and said, “Thea, you have to learn to use legal instruments to protect yourself. There’s no single person in Sol that’s all-powerful. There will always be an upholder of justice. The Blithe King is one of them.”
“I see…” Thea nodded.
Immediately, favonovel.com was reminded of something.
“What about my brother?”
James said, “He was sent to the hospital. Let me bring you home first. We’ll visit favonovel.com later.”
Thea did not think much of it. It was all thanks to James that they narrowly escaped death.
If not for James’ report to the military…
She did not dare imagine the consequences. James grabbed Thea’s hand and stood up to leave.
“J-James…” Whitney spoke.
“Hmm?” James looked at favonovel.com and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Where’s Henry?” Whitney asked.
She knew Henry had gone to the Southern Plains. Then, news spread that the Black Dragon fought the 28-nation martial arts gurus at Mt. Thunder Pass and was pursued by a hundred-thousand-strong army. Then, news of the Black Dragon’s death came.
Though the Black Dragon had returned, Henry had not. She was waiting for an opportunity to ask.
James saw the anxious expression on favonovel.com face and instantly understood.
He said, “He’s fine. I’ll give you a number. Call it…”
He then gave Whitney Daniel’s number. After that, favonovel.com left with Thea.
Whitney immediately called Daniel.
After the call went through, favonovel.com asked impatiently, “Hey, James told me you knew about Henry’s whereabouts. May I know where favonovel.com is at the moment?”
Daniel did not know who was calling.
However, since Whitney mentioned James, favonovel.com immediately understood. “At the military hospital.”
“What? A-At the military hospital?” Whitney’s face turned pale.
She hurriedly asked, “What happened to him?”
“Come and see for yourself…” Daniel did not say much.
Whitney hung up the phone and immediately headed to the military hospital.
***
The rest of the Callahans remained in their residence.
Lex and the others did not leave. James’ parting remarks scared them. As they were present at the scene, they knew that David and Thea had been abducted. They immediately knew it was the Watsons who were behind this. It was their way of getting back at them.
At that moment, the TV was broadcasting the news. Upon seeing the news, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Gavin is dead?”
“Maximus is dead?”
They could not believe their eyes. The Watsons had only just begun their retaliation.
How could they be dead in just an afternoon?
Soon, James and Thea returned home.
