Chapter 68
It was a big day in Cansington today.The Blithe King would officially be the commander -in-chief of the five armies.
Three of The Great Four's patriarchs were tied to chairs and beheaded.
Their heads went missing.
All the Xaviers planned to evacuate Cansington.
However, James saw this coming.
He sealed off sea, land, and air travel, effectively cutting off The Great Four’s escape routes.
None of them would be allowed to leave Cansington.
After the Blithe King’s succession ceremony, an official announcement was made to explain the murders.
Choosing a prisoner on death row, the authorities put the ghost mask James used on him.
They then executed him publicly by shooting.
They covered up the matter temporarily.
Among The Great Four, the Xaviers were completely destroyed.
They would never be able to make a comeback ever again.
The other three families had only lost their patriarchs, but they were still on edge.
Reaching out to all their connections, they tried their best to figure out who they had wronged.
Some predicted that it was the Blithe King’s doing.
It was a warning that he was coming after them.
Rumors were rife.
James, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly at Thea’s.He slept through the morning till afternoon.
At about two o’clock in the afternoon, Thea entered her room.
She saw James splayed across the bed.It was colder in the room.
She was worried that James would catch a cold, so she went to him and covered him with the blanket.
Instantly, James flipped over, grabbing Thea by the neck with lightning speed.
"Ah...."
Thea’s scream alerted him.He released her immediately.
Apologetically, he said "I’m sorry, Thea!"
Thea rubbed her neck, which had turned red.She looked angry.
"What was that for?"
