Chapter 177


    “ck Dragon, James, stop screwing around. I’m a busy man, unlike you.” James cleared his throat.


    “Henry, redeploy a hundred thousand troops from the Southern ins.”


    “Right on it.”


    Upon hearing them sing the same tune, the Blithe King was so enraged that he wanted to smash his


    phone.


    However, he managed to suppress his anger.


    “You win, James. But can you not call me over such a trivial matter? Just call Daniel. He’ll deal with it.”


    “Are you trying to say I can call you if it isn’t trivial?” The Blithe King was so irritated that he hung up the


    phone. After hanging up the phone, he immediately gave his orders. “Daniel, there’s something I need


    you to do for me.”


    Daniel could not believe his ears when he received his orders.


    Baffled, he left the Blithe King’s office.


    At the same time, in Common Clinic, James was relieved after the call.


    ”Thea, I’d like to see you try. Very impressive of you, Henry. There’s no way I’d have thought of such an


    intricate n.”


    Henry’s face twitched. He was merely at his wit’s end. “Alright, now. Snap out of it. Drive me there.”


    “Right on it.” Henry recollected himself.


    The two walked out, and Henry drove James to the Department of Civil Affairs.


    Thea was already at the gates. She stood by the door and waited for James. “Isn’t that Thea


    Cahan?” “Yes, that’s her. I saw in the news that she just took over as chairman of Eternality.”


    “Why is she in front of the Department of Civil Affairs?”


    “Could it be she’s getting a divorce?”


    Thea was renowned in Cansington. With her beauty and charisma, she was recognized iminediately by


    passers-by as she stood outside the Department of Civil Affairs.

    Thea paid no allention to the fingers pointing at her.


    She took her phone out and looked at the time. At nine o’clock, she called James again. With a look of


    displeasure, she questioned, “What are you doing? Quit your dilly-dallying! Where are you right now?”


    “Almost there.”

    James hung up the phone.


    A few minutester, James appeared before Thea with a bright smile.


    “Thea.”


    With a surly expression, Thea turned and walked toward the front gate of the Department of Civil


    Affairs.


    James pulled her back in time. “What are you doing? Let me go.” Thea wrenched herself from his grip.


    James released her and said with a smile, “Thea, I’ve looked at the calendar. Today’s not an auspicious


    day for a divorce. Besides, we can’t go through with the divorce proceedings today.” Thea wore a sad


    expression. “James, wipe that smirk off your face. Didn’t you want the divorce too? You’ll get to be with


    Xara, after all.


    “Thea, I swear nothing is going on between us. If I’m lying, may the heavens strike me dead.”


    Boom!


    At that moment, lightning shed across the sky. Following that, the sky clouded over. It was about to


    rain. “Hmph…” Thea smiled coldly. “James, you better watch your words. You wouldn’t want to be


    struck by lightning, would you?” As James lifted his head and saw the overcast sky, his face darkened.


    Even the heavens were against him.


    “Thea, I can exin. Even if you don’t trust me, why won’t you trust your cousin?”


    “Because I know her too well,” Thea said coldly.


    “She’s always had a thing for military men. I’m not surprised she went after you after finding out you


    retired from the military.”


    “What can I do to gain your trust?”


    “James, it’s toote. Do we have to go through this again? I’ve given you a chance, but you


    squandered it.”


    At that moment, a car speeded toward them. A few men got off and entered the Department of Civil


    Affairs.


    Upon seeing the Blithe King’s men, James sighed in relief. “If so, there’s nothing else for me to say.


    Let’s go.”


    He beaded toward the building


    Thea followed close behind.


    “I’m sorry. We’re closed for today. Pleasee tomorrow.” At the gate, James wore a delighted look.


    “Thea, look. Even the heavens are forbidding us from divorcing.”


    Thea was baffled.


    She watched as people were kicked out of the building. The gates mmed behind them.


    She nced at James. She did not think much of it. “Tomorrow it is then,” she said coldly. After


    speaking, she turned to leave. James called out, “Tomorrow’s not happening either.” However, Thea


    had already left in a taxi.


    James rubbed his chin.


    “As long as I’m against this, you’ll never get your divorce.”
