Chapter 405
Seeing James get off the plane alongside an unconscious Henry, the Blithe King momentarily froze.
Then, he walked over to them and hugged James. “I knew you’d be alright. You scared me. I thought you died at Mt. Thunder Pass.”
James smiled slightly and said, “I’m still young. Besides, I have such a beautiful wife waiting for me at home. How could I die so easily?”
“Still have time for jokes? I heard your wife’s getting engaged to someone else.”
Hearing this, James’ face darkened. The Blithe King hurriedly changed the subject, “What happened to the Black Shadow?”
James replied, “He got into an accident. Bring him to the military hospital immediately and have men watch over him round the clock. Notify me if anything happens.”
“Understood.”
The Blithe King nodded and immediately ordered, “Send the Black Shadow General to the military hospital now.”
Saying that, he put his arms around James’ shoulder. “What happened exactly? Why would you go to Mt. Thunder Pass after arriving at the Southern Plains? Why were you in combat with the 28-nation martial arts gurus? Why were you pursued by a hundred-thousand-strong army? And why was there news of your death?”
James’ face darkened. “I sent Henry to the Southern Plains to get some money. However, he was ambushed and brought to Mt. Thunder Pass. The enemy instructed me to come alone, and I did. It was a conspiracy against me. However, I didn’t know his or her identity, so I spread the news of my death.”
“I see.”
The Blithe King immediately asked, “Then, do you know who’s targeting you?”
James shook his head. “No, I only know they were carrying out orders on behalf of Doctor King. As for who he is, I’ve yet to look into that. Speaking of which, could you help me find out if there’s a Doctor King in Sol? He’s also nicknamed the miracle-working Doctor King.”
“Understood.”
James reminded, “Remember, be discreet.”
“Got it.” The Blithe King nodded. He then asked, “Since you’ve claimed to be dead, wouldn’t your appearance arouse suspicion?” James winced.
He had not wished to reveal himself so quickly. He had wanted to investigate in the shadows. However, Thea was getting married to someone else. He had no other choice.
