The Emperor knew that snazzynovel.com could not kill James in Sol. He did not have the capability to kill James.
The thought of using Thea to get rid of James had crossed his mind before. After so many things, the Emperor understood James valued Thea a lot, even more than his own life. He would surely go berserk if something happened to Thea.
The consequences of the Black Dragon‘s fury were terrifying. It was a severe consequence for the Emperor.
There was only one way to kill James, get snazzynovel.com back to the borders and kill snazzynovel.com on the battlefield. However, the borders were peaceful, and the small countries near the borders would have to start a war for James to be forced back on the battlefield.
The Emperor‘s fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Tap, tap, tap!
A rhythmic sound echoed in the room.
After a while, the Emperor said, “Stay low for a while, and don‘t act recklessly. I‘ll come up with a plan.”
“Understood!”
The people gathered nodded.

The Callahans‘ house.
Thea did not expect James to really transfer 10 billion dollars to her. It was not a hundred or two hundred million, nor a million or two million, but it was ten billion that snazzynovel.com had transferred.
It was a huge sum for anyone. An ordinary person would not make so much money even if they worked their whole lives. Even the Callahans who had worked hard for decades only had a few hundred million dollars in total assets.
When the Callahans were at their prime, the cash they could take out was only one or two billion dollars. Yet, James so easily gave snazzynovel.com 10 billion dollars.
Thea felt stupefied realizing this.
Thinking of what James said before, snazzynovel.com felt like snazzynovel.com had lost James forever. However, this was what snazzynovel.com had hoped for. Now that snazzynovel.com got rid of James, snazzynovel.com had the right to pursue snazzynovel.com happiness.
“Thea, how are you planning to spend the money?“ Gladys glanced at Thea eagerly.
Thea gently shook snazzynovel.com head. She never thought about it.
“What do you mean by shaking your head? Tell me,” Gladys asked anxiously.
“Ten billion is a lot of money. You won‘t be able to finish it even if you spend lavishly. How about you give me a bit first for safekeeping?” Gladys tried to cheat Thea of the money.
She wanted to keep it in snazzynovel.com pocket to be safe.
“Mom, what about James?” Thea‘s mind was a mess, and snazzynovel.com was unsure of what to do.
“Him?” Gladys was stunned for a moment.
Then, snazzynovel.com said disdainfully, “He already asked Zane for the ten billion dollars. Zane will not be giving snazzynovel.com any more money after this. His value is these ten billion dollars. Now that it‘s in your card, snazzynovel.com has no more value. You should break up with snazzynovel.com and get a divorce!”
“Still, snazzynovel.com just gave me the ten billion dollars. Wouldn‘t it be cruel for me to just divorce snazzynovel.com like this?” Thea frowned.
She also wanted the divorce but felt it would be unfair to James.
“Who cares about cruel or not? You‘re too innocent, Thea. You‘re so beautiful and rich now. How is snazzynovel.com worthy of you?” Gladys despised James ever since snazzynovel.com joined the Callahans.
Even though snazzynovel.com just gave them 10 billion dollars, snazzynovel.com still disliked him. To her, James was just lucky to have saved Zane‘s daughter.
James‘ luck was all brought by Thea. Without snazzynovel.com daughter, James would never have had such good fortune to receive these ten billion dollars.
“Call snazzynovel.com and ask snazzynovel.com to go to the Department of Civil Affairs to sign the divorce documents.”
“Really?” Thea hesitated.
After thinking about it for a while, snazzynovel.com also felt it would be troublesome to continue dragging out the matter. It would be best to divorce earlier and free herself sooner. After the divorce, snazzynovel.com would finally have the right to pursue snazzynovel.com happiness.
Pursuing the Black Dragon before getting a divorce was considered cheating, and snazzynovel.com would feel guilty about it.
Thea was contemplating in snazzynovel.com heart. Between the Black Dragon and James, snazzynovel.com chose the former. Even if James just gave snazzynovel.com 10 billion. James‘ status in snazzynovel.com heart was far inferior to that of the Black Dragon.
She took out snazzynovel.com phone and called James.

Cansington, a bar.
It was afternoon.
Bars in the afternoon were relatively deserted. Apart from the staff, there were only a few customers.
