Roger, a renowned figure and the right-hand man of the Shogun, was visibly uneasy in James's presence.

"Apologies, Miss Emily... I know Mr. James very well," Roger said.

Emily was stunned! "How is that possible?"

"Mr. James, forgive me... please pardon me." Roger bowed his head before James.

James replied, "It's all right. You may leave."

"Yes, Mr. James. Thank you."

Roger left them.

Emily was shocked—Roger respected James?! She couldn't comprehend the situation and felt humiliated for not receiving the support she had expected.

In desperation, she declared, "My cousin will arrive later, and will give you a lesson!"

Emily stormed off, frustrated and unsatisfied that she couldn’t force James to yield.

Meanwhile, James sat impassively, sipping his tea. To him, Emily was merely an arrogant woman unaccustomed to rejection.

Ten minutes later, Bella arrived with her guards, ascending to the second floor of the restaurant. Bella smiled at James and said, "Emily tried so

  • 294-THE END

    Darus immediately dropped himself lower, his knees pressing against the cold marble floor until his body was almost prostrated at James’s feet. His trembling voice escaped his lips. “Elder James... I am guilty. My daughter and I have been insolent... please forgive us.”Mariana, who was standing behind him, finally bowed as well, her face turning pale. She glanced at her father for a moment, but that look quickly turned into resignation. She knelt beside him, her hands shaking.Without hesitation, Darus bent even lower and kissed James’s shoes. “Forgive me... please forgive me, Elder...” he whispered weakly, almost inaudible. With tears streaming down his face, he trembled as he licked the shoes.Mariana bit her lip hard, shame and fear mixing within her. But James’s cold gaze made her too afraid to resist. She bowed deeper and followed her father’s action, her voice trembling. “Forgive us, Mr. James... we didn’t know who you truly are... we were wrong...”Sheva, who was standing be

  • 293-Show Me How You Beg!

    Darus hurried out of his house with unsteady steps. His face was still swollen, his cheeks burning, and his heart pounding hard. That night, he did not dare return directly to the family villa but went straight to Jayden’s house instead.As soon as he arrived, Darus knocked on the door of Jayden’s study. “Jayden! I need to talk to you, this is important!” he shouted, his voice trembling and breath short.Jayden looked at him sharply from behind his desk, his eyebrows furrowing. “James,” Darus said hoarsely. “That man... he humiliated me in front of my men! He hit me, crushed me, and even mentioned your name as if he could do whatever he wanted!”Jayden listened with a flat expression, but the longer he listened, the darker his eyes became. “Sheva’s husband! That arrogant young man who claimed to have connections with the Nelton Family! I can’t just—”Slap!A loud slap landed on Darus’s cheek. He froze, staring at Jayden in disbelief. “Jayden… you… why—”Thud!A solid punch to the

  • 292-...Terrifying

    "James, think carefully about who I am in the Dandelion," said Darus in a deep and cold voice. "You will regret your actions today!""Are you threatening me?" A cold gleam flashed in James’s eyes.Slap! Slap!Two hard slaps landed on Darus’s left and right cheeks. His face immediately swelled, blood dripped from his nose, and his breath trembled with anger and humiliation.James looked at him coldly. "If it weren’t out of respect for Tjah Nelton, you and your daughter would already be dead."Darus froze in confusion. He took a deep breath, but an ominous feeling struck his chest.Tjah! The moment that name left James’s mouth, Darus shuddered in fear."Your daughter has provoked me several times. I did not care," said James slowly but sharply. "But what I cannot tolerate is that she dared to offend my wife."His eyes narrowed. "And you... came here demanding that I kneel without reason? Who do you think you are?"James exhaled slowly. His voice was calm, but the pressure in it was suff

  • 291-Everyone Fell Silent

    Whether these people were celebrities from the Nelton Family or powerful bosses, James could wipe them all from existence in a single night.Seeing Hades’s cold gaze, Darus shuddered in terror, feeling like prey caught in the sight of a wild beast.Darus truly could not understand where James had found such a ruthless man to be his bodyguard.“Can you understand me?” Darus asked slowly, staring at Hades. “You are very skilled. James can give you rewards, but I can give you ten times more! Believe me, if you follow me in the future, you will have a far greater future than serving a small man like James.”James said nothing. Hades only sneered, a flash of killing intent gleaming clearly in his eyes.To Hades, Darus’s words were a blatant insult. He wanted to buy his loyalty with money?Hades was a man who admired strength above all else. Since James had once defeated him directly with overwhelming power, Hades now believed that James was someone truly worthy to serve.Darus had no idea

  • Chapter 290-Hurt Them, But Don't Kill

    Hades’s body looked large and solid, yet his movements were so fast that ordinary human eyes could barely follow them. In an instant, he no longer looked like a normal man—but like a wild beast ready to devour its prey.“Are you all right?”“You dare to do this? This is outrageous!”Seeing their comrade lying on the ground, vomiting blood endlessly, Darus’s guards lost control. Their eyes turned feral, filled with hatred.All at once, they drew iron batons from under their suits. Several others opened long black bags from their backs, revealing shining firearms under the light.“Kneel down right now!” one of them shouted. “If not, don’t blame us when the bullets start talking!”“Defying our boss means you’re asking for death!”Dozens of professional guards surrounded James and Hades from every direction. Their rage burned hotter after seeing their leader taken down so brutally.But Hades only grinned. The cruel smile on his lips showed that he was actually enjoying their threats. He

  • Chapter 289-Bang!

    “You are Timothy?” Darus narrowed his eyes, looking at him with disdain. “How dare you go against my daughter. Do you think Jacky can protect you forever?” Darus raised his hand high and shouted, “Guards! Take him away!” The moment he gave the order, the two teams of guards he had brought with him immediately rushed forward. Several men moved quickly toward James, ready to grab him. But Jacky’s voice thundered through the air. “Darus! How dare you try to act here!” The Trandana Hotel was located at the heart of the Hawar District, a territory under Dasqan’s control. If Darus dared to cause trouble here, it meant he was openly challenging Dasqan himself. Darus sneered. “What is it, Jacky? You really want to protect James? Think carefully. Once you offend the Nelton Family, you won’t have a place to stand in the city of Dandelion.” He added coldly, “Don’t think that just because this is the Hawar District I can’t do anything. My men have already surrounded this place!” Jacky’s e
