Chapter 78 James heard the siren. He knew that the police were coming. However, he did not want
everyone to learn about the things that had happened today. Thea was just an ordinary woman and
had already endured enough abuse. James did not want the police to get involved because the news
would spread, and chaos would break out in the city. Although Thea was alright, it would definitely
spark rumors if word got out. She had been the center of gossip for too long. James did not want the
matter to cause her any more trouble. Thus, he phoned the Blithe King. After the call, he returned to
the office and sat on the sofa, waiting for a reply. Meanwhile, dozens of security guards gathered at the
door. Their faces were beaded with sweat and they wielded electric batons, afraid to enter the office
room. Inside the office, Hank’s lifeless body was lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Blithe King was in a meeting when he received the call from James. He had heard of Jame’s
temperament and was worried that James would act recklessly. He immediately called off the meeting
and issued an order, “Call the police. Inform them to overlook the affairs at Ella Corporation and that
the military will take care of it. Prepare the car immediately. I’m going to Ella Corporation.” Ella
Corporation. It was past office hours, yet many employees were still working overtime. On the first floor,
more than a dozen security guards were lying on the ground with either injured hands or legs. The
injuries were not minor fractures but caused by being snapped with extreme force, which caused their
limbs to be completely broken. The security guards lay on the ground and groaned in pain.
A few of them even passed out from blood loss The police arrived, blocked the scene, and ambulances
were dispatched. The team was a fully armed specialized police unit. Upon seeing such a bloody
scene, they were highly vigilant as they began to inquire about the situation. After learning that the
perpetrator was still inside the building, they hurriedly strategized, Suddenly, the team’s captain
received a phone call from the higher ups, informing him not to intervene in the issue at Ella
Corporation and that the military would be taking over Soon, military vehicles appeared outside Ella
Corporation Dozens of jeeps approached the building, and thousands of fully-armed military soldiers
appeared. Immediately, they drove away the onlookers outside the building and chased the police out.
James waited in the office for about ten minutes before the military finally showed up and forcibly
detained the security guards. A burly middle-aged figure walked into the office and glanced at Hank’s
lifeless body lying on the ground. Then, he turned his gaze to James, who was sitting on the sofa with
Thea in his arms. He approached them and reprimanded with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face,
“James, you’re in Cansington, not the Southern Plains. How could you be so ruthless? James stood up
carrying Thea and replied, “I’ll be leaving through the back door.

today, so you better handle the people who saw me properly!” James turned around and left. The Blithe
King was frustrated. He was the dignified commander of the Western border and was recently
promoted to the commander-in-chief of the five armies, but he was being ordered around by James.
However, he truly hoped that James would not cause any more trouble. “Hold on…” James, who was
carrying Thea, turned around and glanced at the Blithe king, who wore a military uniform with five stars
on his shoulder. “What? Is there anything else?” he said reluctantly “Please don’t cause any more
trouble. After all, this sort of stuff falls under my jurisdiction. Don’t make it difficult for me. I’m begging
you, alright?” “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!” James turned around and left. James feared
no one, and he despised the laws, which infuriated the Blithe King, but he was helpless against him. He
had no authority to arrest James even if the latter committed a heinous crime unless the highest
commander gave the order. He took a deep breath and instructed, “Send a car to the back door and
take him back.” “Understood.”
