Ronn offered James a cigarette
James accepted
“Any news about Jonathan yet?”
Since Jonathan and his cronies went to so much trouble, they must have something else in mind other than
attacking the Solean doctor’s
James still could not figure out what it was
Ronn shook his head. “We’ve been keeping tabs on Jonathan. After he left yesterday, he hasn’t appeared again.”
James asked, “Did you manage to find out what their plans are?”
Ronn looked somber.
James glanced at him before saying, “Be honest.”
Ronn said, “We obtained some information. According to our intel, Universal Hospital has set up a research lab at
Lily City three months ago. Its location is hidden within a mountain, heavily guarded with trained armies round the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtclock. Our intelligence network could not get through either. We don’t know what they’re researching.”
“A secret research lab?”
James narrowed his eyes.
If the lab had something to do with the medical conference, they had been planning this when they resigned and
came to Cansington. “Are they the Red Flame army?”
Ronn shook his head. “We’re unable to confirm.”
“Keep a close eye on the lab and Universal Hospital. Make sure you don’t let Jonathan or the Emperor out of your
sight. Report to me at once if you notice anything unusual.”
“Yes, sir.”
“What about news on Sovereign Antique Shop?” Ronn shook his head. “Everything seems normal. There’s nothing
new. There were rumors that the treasure from the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s tomb was spotted at the shop, but
it was never confirmed.”
“Make sure you keep an eye on the shop.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Send the assassins to me.”
“Yes, sir.”
Ronn turned to leave.
Soon, the assassins that he recruited appeared.
“Mr. Caden.”
All of them greeted James simultaneously
James looked at them, saying, “Disguise yourselves. From tomorrow onward, you’re to protect Thea around the
clock. If she loses one hair on her head, you’re better off removing your own before you see me.”
“So many of us to protect Thea?”
James had a cold expression on his face. “You have objections?”
“Mr. Caden, we’re the best assassins there are, yet you’re sending us to watch over a woman Isn’t it a waste of our
talents?”
James took a deep breath. “Thea’s everything to me. Her safety is what matters most. Do as I say, but don’t let her
discover you, or interfere with her life.”
“Yes, sir.”
The assassins agreed reluctantly.
“You can leave now. Since there are so many of you, take turns to carry out the mission. I’ll leave it to you to
decide.”
All of them nodded and left.
James leaned against the couch, lost in his thoughts.
Soon, he became sleepy.
There was a room within the underground basement.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe made a beeline for the room to rest.
In a semi-conscious state, he heard noises.
He grabbed for his phone beside his bed, noticing that it was three in the morning. He got up, rubbed his temples,
and walked out.
It was heavily guarded outside.
The Black Dragon Army was fully armed.
James pulled a soldier aside, asking, “What’s going on?” “Mr. Caden, we’ve discovered spies among us. Ronn is
launching an investigation now. He’s captured all of Jake’s men to interrogate.”
“Spies?” James was stunned. “How could there be spies? Are they from the police or the military?” The soldier
shook his head. “I’m afraid I don’t know, sir.”
James turned and left immediately, heading toward the dungeon. The underground basement here was huge. It
was just like an underground city, thanks to Jake having spent years building it.
More than thirty people were tied up in the dungeon.
Some of them were heavily injured. “Save both of us the trouble and come clean, otherwise…” James heard Ronn’s
shouts as he approached,
“What’s going on?” Ronn got to his feet as soon as he heard James’ voice. “Sir, did we wake you?”.
