James had returned from the Southern Plains.

After confirming Henry's condition in the military region and replaceing out the truth behind Thea's and Zavier's engagement, he hurriedly made his way to the Watsons' villa. As it was only eleven in the morning, he still had time.

It was a festive mood in the courtyard of the Watsons' villa.

Many people had gathered.

James' appearance attracted the attention of the crowd.

"Isn't that Thea's husband, James?"

"Why is he here?"

"Didn't he divorce Thea?"

"He's probably here to get some money out of Zavier."

They covertly discussed.

Wearing a surly expression, James walked toward the front door. A few security guards immediately blocked his path.

One of them took an electric baton out and pointed it at James. He barked, "Hey, do you know where you are? What makes you think you can come as you please? Get lost!" James looked at the security guard.

His gaze was fierce.

The security guard felt as if he was being stared down by a ferocious beast. Unconsciously, he took a few steps back.

"Scram..." James said coldly.

After momentarily freezing, the security guard barked, "This is the Watsons' villa!"

Saying that, he swung the electric baton at James.

James raised his hand and blocked it. Then, he kicked the security guard.

Crack!

The security guard's bones shattered.

He was sent flying. Then, he collapsed on the floor and groaned in pain.

In the villa...

Zavier knelt on the floor with a diamond ring in his hand.

The crowd was cheering.

Upon meeting his sincere gaze, Thea forgot all about James.

'I'm sorry, James. I have no choice.'

After taking a deep breath, she nodded. "I do..."

"I don't."

A roar came from outside the door.

A few bodyguards crashed through the door. Then, a man in a black jacket walked in.

Everyone turned to look.

Seeing that it was James, their expressions turned pale.

Gladys was just boasting to the other Callahans about her new son-in-law.

Upon seeing James, her face darkened. She then stood up and headed toward him. With her arms crossed, she scolded him. "What are you doing, James? Should you even be here? Get out of my sight." James ignored Gladys and fixed his gaze on the stage. He was watching Thea, who was about to accept the diamond ring, intently.

Meanwhile, upon seeing his arrival, Thea was stunned.

'Wasn't he on a business trip? How is he already back now?'

Zavier's face turned pale.

'Didn't he die at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains? How did he get here?'

He was at a loss.

That afternoon, the nation mourned for the Black Dragon.

Though no one else knew that the Black Dragon was James, he knew.

Some among the crowd were excited to see the scene unfold.

Even the likes of Alex Yates and Yuna Lawson were there.

They knew James' true identity. However, they did not think he was still alive.

However, they remained silent and only sat there and watched things play out.

They were curious to see how James would fight against the Watsons now that he had resigned from his post.

After momentarily freezing, Zavier snickered. "I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's the son-in-law of the Callahans. You don't agree to this marriage? I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you. After all, you've been dumped by Thea."

James looked at Thea and asked, "Is that true?'
