Roar of the Supreme Warrior

“Let's go, James.” Thea pulled James away.

She was afraid that James would lose control and start bragging about his wealth.

James had told her where the money came from. It was dirty.

Though it was also worth noting James had mentioned that he went to court over this matter and got expelled from the military.

The money was his final reward for his service.

Technically, the money was legal.

However, Thea was still worried when she thought about the source of the money.

It was best they stayed out of trouble. If the higher-ups pursued this case, James would be in trouble.

As such, she started to drag James away.

Since Thea wanted to leave, James kept quiet.

"Hmph!" Xena cackled. "Just say you're poor and be done with it."

Zach had an idea. He approached Thea, saying, "Thea, which clothes do you prefer? I'll purchase them as a gift for you."

"Thanks, but no thanks." Thea dragged James away again.

However, James felt like he had been greatly humiliated.

How dare Zach talk about gifting clothes to his wife in front of him?

"Thea, how dare you reject my husband? It's an honor to receive gifts from him!"

Xena approached, raising her hand to slap Thea. "Since we offered, you can't say no!"

Xena was from a normal family. Even though she had married into an important family, she had no status in the family whatsoever. Her husband often seduced other women in front of her, even bringing them home and...

She knew where she stood.

It was thanks to Zach she was where she was today.

Without Zach, she was a complete nobody.

Thea failing to appreciate her husband's kindness made her angry.

She knew that Zach was interested in Thea, even wanting to help him get Thea into bed. If Zach was happy, he might even reward her.

She was going to help Zach.

However, James blocked her slap.

He twisted her wrist.

"Ah, it hurts!" Xena yelled.

"James... let her go." Thea tugged on James.

James released her.

Xena was like a crazed lady, pointing at James and shouting, "How dare you? Do you know who I am?"

As she said that, she looked at Zach with hurt in her eyes. “Darling, that piece of trash hit me!"

Zach knew that Xena had seen right through him and was helping him.

Coldly, he looked at James. "James, do you know who I am? I'm a Smith!"

James was casual about it. "Who's York Smith to you?"

"He's my eldest uncle,” Zach said smugly. "Scared now, are you?"

James looked at Thea, saying, "Thea, I heard mom say that York sent David home yesterday. York was very respectful to you as well." "Y-yes. That's right."

Thinking about it, Thea was puzzled.

What was going on? Why were all these important people so respectful toward her?

Was it because of James?

However, even though he was once an important person, that was at the Southern Plains. Furthermore, he was no longer in the military.

Also, she had heard about what happened at Prosperous Dynasty. She knew that the military had taken action to conquer the underworld. Their first target was Xander Lawrence. James had absolutely nothing to do with that.

James said, "You must have Yoel's phone number. Call him. Tell him to inform his father he's wanted here for an apology on his knees."

Thea did have Yoel's phone number.

Her mom had given it to her.

Quickly, she explained, "Jamie, mom gave me his number. I've never called him before."

"I trust you. Call him now."

"Jamie, forget about it." Thea shook her head.

She did not believe that Yoel would tell York what to do even if she called him. York would never apologize either.

Xena started laughing. "Haha, what a joke. Who do you think you are? Do you really think the heir of the Smiths would apologize with just a phone call?" Zach's expression darkened as well. "Who do you think you are? The Blithe King? How dare you demand my uncle apologize on his knees?" James raised his leg and kicked Zach.

Smack!

Zach flew into the clothes rack. All the clothes fell to the floor.

The salesperson was horrified. In a low voice, he said, "Oh my God. Do you know how much these clothes are worth? Get ready to pay up."
