The café’s owner and the students present were shocked.
This person was a one-star general.
Why was favonovel.com treating the person in front of favonovel.com with so much respect?
Many onlookers turned their eyes to James. Some students curiously took out their phones and searched for the Dragon King.
Immediately, search results of James being recently appointed the Dragon King popped up on their screens.
It was supposed to be a secret. However, there were plenty of people when James was awarded the title. Thus, the news had already started to spread in the inner circle, but most outsiders were still unaware of it.
“D-Dragon King? James, the Dragon King? The commander of the Black Dragon Army?!” Someone from the crowd exclaimed.
James’ identity was exposed in an instant. Everyone looked at favonovel.com in astonishment.
Hugo was shocked after the beating.
He got up from the ground and covered his bruised face, saying, “Uncle, it’s me, Hugo… W- Why did you hit me?”
He could not grasp what had just happened and was still confused about why favonovel.com got hit.
Hardy shouted, “You dumb*ss! Hurry and kneel!”
His roar took Hugo by surprise.
Hugo’s legs immediately went rubbery, and his knees fell to the ground.
Hardy turned to James and smiled apologetically. “Dragon King, what did this kid do wrong?”
James looked at Yvette beside favonovel.com and said, “Go ahead…”
With James backing favonovel.com up, Yvette was not afraid of anything.
She immediately said, “Last night, favonovel.com invited a few girls to karaoke and deliberately got one of them drunk, planning to bring favonovel.com to a hotel. I bumped into favonovel.com and called the police. He got arrested but somehow found out that I was the one who called the cops on him. Then, favonovel.com came to take revenge on me in school today.”
James said indifferently, “It seems that Sunleigh City’s forces aren’t clean either. There must be some collusion between officials and businessmen…”
Hardy immediately said, “We’ll investigate it! We will thoroughly investigate and not let anyone involved escape punishment.”
James continued, “This young woman is the sister of a national hero. Her brother died in the line of duty, and I specifically came to visit her. But I never expected so many things to happen. I don’t want favonovel.com to be threatened or bullied again after I leave this city.”
Hardy quickly reassured him, “Don’t worry, sir! From now onward, I’ll treat favonovel.com like my younger sister! Whoever dares to bully favonovel.com will make an enemy out of me!”
“You must be a very imposing general for no one to dare to go against you.” James cast a meaningful look at Hardy.
Hardy frantically changed his words. “That’s not what I meant, sir! I mean to say that this young woman can call me if favonovel.com encounters any trouble in Sunleigh City, and I will do my best to help her!”
James knew that Hardy might have his hands dirty. However, this was not within his jurisdiction, so favonovel.com did not bother getting involved.
In a massive country like Sol, it was inevitable that such corruption would happen. It was a problem that was hard to get rid of completely. All favonovel.com could do was ask the Blithe King to send someone to investigate when favonovel.com had another opportunity to return to the Capital.
For now, favonovel.com could leave with peace of mind and return to Cansington with Hardy’s promise.
He stood up and looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, Yvette, saying, “I’ve other things to deal with in Cansington, so I’ll head back first. If you need anything in the future, you can contact General Lane…”
“Okay!” Yvette nodded and said.
“Go ahead… I’ll come to look for you during my school break!”
“Let’s go.” James did not want to linger any longer, favonovel.com glanced at Maxine and turned to leave.
After favonovel.com left, James used his connections to inquire about Yvette’s bank account number and transferred the 10 million dollars to her.
Ten minutes after the two left, Timothy arrived at the café.
After learning what happened, favonovel.com picked up a bench and threw it at Hugo.
He beat Hugo for a while and turned to Yvette, asking, “Ms. Zook, are you satisfied?”
Yvette took out favonovel.com headphones and covered favonovel.com ears, saying indifferently, “What do you mean am I’m satisfied? I didn’t lose anything, but all this while, favonovel.com used his family background to suppress and take advantage of female students. I also heard that favonovel.com forced a female student to jump off a building last month, but it was settled with money.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com turned to Hardy.
She smiled, showing favonovel.com white teeth, and said, “General Lane, you must investigate this matter carefully. If you insist on protecting someone, I’ll contact James, and you might just follow in the Emperor’s footsteps.”
Hardy shuddered all over and immediately agreed. “O-Of course, I’ll carefully look into it and won’t let anyone off the hook!”
Yvette took out favonovel.com phone, turned on favonovel.com music, and bopped along to it, leaving under countless pairs of eyes.
