Chapter 403
“Understood.”
His men went to the basement and brought the badly injured David up. Zavier stood up and said, “You may get the
money from the Watson residence. I’ll take him from here. I hope that’s fine with you.”
“Not a problem. I trust you.”
“Need an IOU?”
Maximus handed an IOU to Zavier. Zavier then handed it to Thea.
Thea said gratefully, “T-Thank you.”
Zavier lightly waved. “Drop the formalities. We’re gonna be a family soon. Quick, bring your brother to the hospital.
I’ll be making the arrangements. Let’s get engaged tomorrow.”
“Ah? S-So soon?” Thea was stunned. She then said, “I-I haven’t divorced James yet.”
Zavier smiled. “It’s alright. You can divorce him after we get engaged.”
Zavier wanted to tell her that James was the Black Dragon and had died on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder Pass.
However, after brief contemplation, he chose to remain silent.

Thea fell silent.
After a long while, she nodded. “Alright, then. See you tomorrow.”
She had no other choice. Zavier had been of great help. Not to mention that he was a good candidate for marriage.
She brought the severely injured David to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Zavier returned home and prepared the necessary arrangements for the wedding.
As David’s injuries were mild, there was no need for him to be admitted to the hospital. After getting some
medicine, they returned home. At the Callahans’… Thea told her family about the incident with Zavier. “What?!”
Gladys exclaimed with a bright smile on her face, “You should’ve done this earlier! You should’ve divorced James
and gotten together with Mr. Watson long ago! Things are looking up now, aren’t they?”
Wearing a smug look, David leaned on the sofa and said, “It’s all thanks to me, Thea. If not for me, there’s no way
you would’ve cozied up with such a rich man like Mr. Watson. The Watsons
are worth hundreds of billions. No matter how you look at it, James is a hundred light-years away from him.”
Alyssa nodded. “That’s right, Thea. Remember to repay David once you get rich.”
Thea was in a daze. She ignored them and went straight back to her room. Meanwhile, the Callahans were in a
festive mood.
What a reversal of fortune!
Not only did they avert a crisis, but they even got themselves an impressive son-in-law. Zavier was efficient. Soon,
the betrothal gifts were sent to the Callahans. They were worth billions of dollars.
News quickly spread throughout Cansington.
Everyone soon knew of Zavier’s engagement with Thea. The wedding would be held the next day at the Watsons’
villa in Goodview Villa District.
It was a shell bomb.
Everyone knew the Black Dragon had been supporting Thea all this while.
Now, Zavier was making his move on Thea the moment news of the Black Dragon’s demise spread.
They knew Thea was married and had not divorced her husband yet. Even so, she was getting engaged to Zavier.
At the same time, in a military hospital in the Southern Plains…
Henry’s condition worsened.
James hurriedly tended to him. Henry’s injuries were too grave. Any ordinary man would have already been dead.
However, Henry was a battle-hardened warrior. As such, his physical perseverance was extraordinary. Moreover,
James’ superb medical skills were also keeping him alive. Although he was alive and breathing, his condition was still
volatile. At one point, his breathing slowed, and his heart almost stopped. James used his silver needles to stimulate

Henry’s body was now full of silver needles.
Every needle seemed to be trembling.
After spending a whole night in the hospital, his condition stabilized.
“Whew!”
James took a deep breath upon seeing Henry’s improving condition. “Commander-in-chief, you have many missed
calls…” Just as James was done tending to Henry, Levi walked into the room and handed him his phone.

James took the phone.
He realized there were many missed calls from Thea. Scarlett had called. Xara had called. Even Newton had tried
to contact him.
In any case, anyone who had connections with him had called him.
However, he had been in the room trying to save Henry’s life since yesterday afternoon. “Did something happen?”
Seeing the missed calls, he had a bad feeling.
