James greeted him and immediately turned toward the girl holding Newton’s arm. “Mr. Quinn, who is she?”
Newton explained, “James, she’s my granddaughter, Serena Quinn.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded. “Three days later, go to The Great Four and take over the businesses of the Cadens.”
“James, this…” Newton was at a loss.
James was aware he had insider information.
He knew that the Cadens had moved from the Capital thirty years ago.
Since Newton had been by his grandfather’s side the whole time, he had to know the history of the Cadens and information about the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge. He could even know who was the one targeting the Cadens.
“Hey, thank you for helping me out here. I’ll treat you to a meal.” James looked at the Blithe King.
“Mhm.”
The Blithe King gave a slight nod.
Then, he gave the order, “Retreat.”
After the military had retreated, the Blithe King looked at the men of The Great Four and from the underworld. Wearing a cold expression, he warned, “You better behave yourself.”
There were too many of them here. There would not be enough space in prison if every one of them was arrested.
Since James did not intend to pursue matters further, he could not care less.
“Yes.”
The men of The Great Four and from the underworld did not dare object.
“Do not speak of what happened today. You should know the consequences if rumors start spreading.”
“Yes, we’ll never tell a living soul.”
“I didn’t see anything today.”
“What happened today? Aren’t we just here for the funeral of The Great Four’s leaders?”
The Blithe King did not stay for long. He turned to leave.
Meanwhile, James brought Newton and Serena to the car.
After the military had retreated and the Blithe King, James, and the others had left, the remaining members of The Great Four, as well as the men from the underworld, sighed a breath of relief. They collapsed to the ground, wiping the sweat off their foreheads.
“H-Holy sh*t.”
“Who the hell is James? How did he make the Blithe King appear in person?”
