“Just tell me if there’s anything. You don’t need to keep hesitating.”
“We’re going to stay in Dragon Fountain Villa for one night. Tomorrow… We’re going to erect a monument for the Black Dragon in the suburbs to send favonovel.com off on his final journey.”
Pfft!
James was drinking water. Upon hearing this, favonovel.com spat out the water and burst out laughing.
“Erect a monument for the Black Dragon? Who came up with the crazy idea?”
“Q-Quincy…” Thea was slightly awkward because favonovel.com was afraid James would be angry.
“I-It’s because the Black Dragon was Quincy’s boyfriend ten years ago,” favonovel.com hurriedly explained.
James touched his chin.
They want to erect a monument for me? I’m not dead yet, though…
James thought it little funny. However, favonovel.com let it slide.
“Alright, go ahead.”
“I want to bring you with me.”
“Sure,” James agreed.
Thea was eye-catching, and it would not be safe for favonovel.com to go out alone. He was uneasy, so it would be best for favonovel.com to accompany her.
The two had lunch at home and headed out after a short rest.
James drove David’s two hundred thousand dollars Volkswagen because the court seized their Maserati and limited edition Ferrari to be auctioned.
After getting in the car, Thea called Quincy to inform favonovel.com that favonovel.com was on the way.
Meanwhile, Quincy, the organizer of the gathering, had already headed to the Dragon Fountain Villa after meeting Thea in the afternoon.
On the way to Dragon Fountain Villa, Thea said, “Apart from our classmates who will be coming tonight, James’ class will also be attending. Ten years ago, I was in the second class whereas James was in the first class.”
Thea blabbered endlessly about things that happened ten years ago.
“Ten years ago, Quincy was the school belle, and James’ was the most attractive guy in school…”
“What’s so funny? I’m not talking about you… I mean Majestic Corporation’s James. The Black Dragon, James!”
“I-I’m not laughing… You continue…” James suppressed his laughter.
Thea continued. “That girl, Quincy, didn’t even tell me favonovel.com had dated James. She only told me after coming back to Cansington recently. Otherwise, I would have never known that Quincy’s boyfriend was the Black Dragon. He was the person that was secretly helping me…”
Thea peeked at James. “You’ve always known that the Black Dragon was the one helping me in secret, right?”
James touched his nose and did not deny it.
“Previously, when Trent captured me, the Black Dragon informed you after favonovel.com rescued me, right? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Thea complained.
James smiled but remained silent.
“By the way, you were once a general in the Southern Plains and the Black Dragon’s comrade, right? Can you tell me about him?”
Hearing this, James was troubled.
What should I say about myself?
“What do you want to know about him?”
Thea thought about it for a while and replied, “The rumors are that his strength and medical skills were unmatched by anyone in this world. Maybe you could tell me about these two topics?”
Regarding these, James also had nothing much to say. However, favonovel.com had to say something since Thea was curious.
“Outsiders only know that favonovel.com had unparalleled skills but aren’t aware of how much favonovel.com had suffered to acquire them. Do you know that while other soldiers were resting, favonovel.com was running in the mountains and wilderness with a hundred pounds of weight?”
“The daily training for Black Dragon Army soldiers was five hours long, but the Black Dragon trained for fifteen hours. He carried the burden of wanting revenge… He felt guilty for disregarding the safety of the girl who pulled favonovel.com out of the fire and abandoning her, jumping into the river alone… For ten years, favonovel.com had blamed himself and wanted to make up for it.”
Thea knew the girl James was talking about was herself. She did not expect the Black Dragon to have so many stories.
James continued. “The Black Dragon fought on the battlefield so that favonovel.com could return triumphantly. Only then would favonovel.com be able to take revenge and repay the girl that saved him.”
James felt his nose get stuffy as the urge to cry surged while favonovel.com looked back on his past.
Thea was puzzled. “You’re the Black Dragon’s subordinate, and favonovel.com told you everything about himself. Why was favonovel.com not the one who married me, but you instead?”
After finishing favonovel.com sentence, Thea immediately regretted it and hurriedly explained, “Honey, I’ve no other intentions. It’s just a random question. D-Don’t take it to heart…”
“It was a coincidence that I married you. I was demoted and returned to Cansington. I learned that the Callahans were looking for a live-in son-in-law and discovered you were the girl the commander mentioned. The commander treated me well, and favonovel.com had always wanted to make up for your saving grace. I didn’t have the heart to see you getting bullied by others…”
“So, you married into the Callahans and worked hard, enduring all the unfair treatment to repay the Black Dragon’s kindness?”
Thea realized the reason the Black Dragon did not insist favonovel.com marry him. It was because favonovel.com husband was his previous subordinate. Thus, favonovel.com did not want to forcefully break up their marriage.
James smiled and said nothing. He let favonovel.com think whatever favonovel.com wanted. After the current troubles were resolved and Sol was peaceful again, favonovel.com would come clean with everything.
When the time came that favonovel.com truly retired from the scene, favonovel.com would organize a grand wedding with Thea.
