The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 211 Holding the key in his hand, James scrutinized it.

What does the treasure chest unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid at the border of the Southern Plains have to do with the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge? James muttered silently.

He believed it was not a coincidence that Scarlett had bumped into him while having the key on her.

He had been trailing a murderous intent he sensed when he encountered Scarlett.

However, the murderous intent disappeared when he reached the underground parking lot.

It was there where he met Scarlett.

He was sure she was not the one with the murderous intent.

James believed someone else had arranged for it.

He had been watching on the sidelines since the beginning of the grave robbery.

He exterminated everyone and instructed Scarlett to bring the key to Cansington and to allow the box to be carried away all over the place.

Whew! James took a deep breath.

The first step to getting to the bottom of this was to locate the box.

By opening the box and finding out what was in it, he would understand its relationship with the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge.

After contemplating for a while, James spoke, Mr.

Quinn, Yes, James? Newton nodded.

James continued, Youve been by my grandfathers side for decades.

Even after the incident, you returned to bury the Cadens even though you risked getting caught.

Since I didnt reward you with anything, Ill offer you the businesses that used to belong to the Cadens.

I cant accept your gift, James.

Newton stood up immediately and hurriedly waved.

James, this is too big of a gift.

I cannot accept it.

James lightly waved and interrupted Newton, To me, money isnt everything.

But its different for you.

You have a family to feed, after all.

I… Alright now, you can bring your family to Cansington.

After that, you can officially take over the former businesses of the Cadens from the Great Four.

The Cadens were once the most influential family in Cansington and had a combined wealth of fifty billion dollars.

These should be enough for the rest of your life.

T Thank you, James.

Now that Newton knew of James identity as one of the five commanders and that he was not in dire need of money, he accepted his offer.

Mhm.

You may return first.

Go to Henry at Common Clinic on Nine Dragons Street if you ever need anything.

Yes.

Newton stood and bowed at James.

Serena then followed suit.

After that, they left the House of Royals.

Outside the House of Royals, Serena had a look of longing on her face, Grandpa, is James really the Black Dragon? The Black Dragon General of the Southern Plains? Newton nodded.

He should be the real deal.

Who besides the Black Dragon would be capable of convincing the Blithe king to mobilize a hundred-thousand strong army? Grandpa, are we really going to take over the former businesses of the Cadens? Newton momentarily froze.

Not quite.

Were just helping James manage them.

Oh.

Serena turned to have a glimpse of the House of Royals behind her.

James, Black Dragon… She muttered silently.

At the House of Royals, James was smoking cigarettes on the sofa.

Henry asked, James, what should we do next? James face darkened.

Though he had avenged his family, he still did not know who the main culprit behind the incident was.

He also did not know the whereabouts of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge.

He thought about it and said, Urge Jake Graham to speed up his intelligence gathering.

I want to know the whereabouts of the treasure chest that had entered the antique market in Cansington as soon as possible.

Roger that.

No need to hurry.

Todays the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Youre an orphan too.

Lets go out and have a drink, just you and me.

James, arent you going to accompany Thea? Thea had gone to the Callahans villa.

I sneaked out to deal with the problem when the opportunity presented itself.

Its still early.

Lets go.
