Chapter 431 “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 him off on his final journey.”
“Pfft!”
James was drinking water.
Upon hearing this, he 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 she was afraid James would be angry. “I-It’s because the Black
Dragon was Quincy’s boyfriend ten years ago,” she hurriedly explained.
James touched his chin.
‘They want to erect a monument for me? ‘I’m not dead yet, though,’ thought James. However, he 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 her to go out alone. He was uneasy, so
it would be best for him 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtedition Firarre to be auctioned.
After getting in the car, Thea called Quincy to inform her that she 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!”
“1-I’m not laughing. You continue.”
James suppressed his laughter. Thea continued. “That girl, Quincy, didn’t even tell me she 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 he 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?”
James was troubled. ‘What should I say about myself?’ thought James. “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?” 1 Regarding these, James also had
nothing much to say.
However, he had to say something since Thea was curious.
“Outsiders only know that he had unparalleled skills but aren’t aware of how much he had suffered to acquire them.
Do you know that while other soldiers were resting, he 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 him out of the fire and abandoning her, jumping into
the river alone. For ten years, he 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 he could return triumphantly. Only then would he be able to take revenge and repay the girl that
saved him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames felt his nose get stuffy as the urge to cry surged while he looked back on his past.
Thea was puzzled. “You’re the Black Dragon’s subordinate, and he told you everything about himself. Why was he
not the one who married me, but you instead?”
After finishing her 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 he 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 she marry him. It was because her husband was his
previous subordinate. Thus, he did not want to forcefully break up their marriage. 1
James smiled and said nothing. He let her think whatever she wanted. After the current troubles were resolved and
Sol was peaceful again, he would come clean with everything. When the time came that he truly retired from the
scene, he would organize a grand wedding with Thea.
