Chapter 700
The King of Sol had conferred James the title of Dragon King and gave him authority to manage the newly acquired cities.
Everyone gave their own suggestions on how to best manage the cities.
“In that case, we need to have a proper plan. However, since we’re all military men, we know little about this. We should seek
assistance from some brilliant and capable politicians from inland here to help us administer the cities.”
Henry asked, “What should we name our cities then? You’re the Dragon King, the one who rules over these cities. You should be
the one naming them.”
“Just come up with random names.”
James tried to dismiss him. He could not care less about naming the cities.
Henry persisted. “That won’t do. This has historical significance. This event will go down in the history books and be read by
Soleans for generations to come. We must give this the consideration it deserves.” “What about Theaville?”
James suggested.
Henry rolled his eyes. “Seriously, James? Will you just stop thinking about her already?”
James smiled awkwardly, “I just think it sounds nice.”
“What do you mean by Theaville? Since you’re the Dragon King, why don’t we name it Dragonville?” Henry suggested.
“Sure.”
James could not be bothered.
He stood up and said, “That should be it then. Henry, write the application letter for the transfer of expertise from the inland. I’ll
leave everything in your hands. Dismissed.” Everyone stood up and wore their military caps. Then, they saluted James, “We’ll
take our leave.”
James left.
Henry followed close behind.
“James, now that the conflict in the Southern Plains is resolved, I think you can go on a vacation. Return to Cansington and meet
Thea. I believe she must be waiting for you.”
James froze
Meet Thea?
Would they ever get together again? Besides, he had promised another woman that he would marry her if he made it out alive
before coming to the Southern Plains.
“Don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.”
Leaving this remark, James turned to leave.
Henry shouted jokingly, “When do we get to meet the Dragon Queen then?”
James ignored him. He left the military region and headed to the Black Dragon Palace.
He returned to the vast and spacious villa.
He sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples.
He did not know what to do either. Should he return to Cansington to honor his commitment? Just as he was in a dilemma, his
phone vibrated. He grabbed his phone and saw it was an unknown number. Just as he was about to decline the call, he
remembered that not many people knew his number. Perhaps it was someone he was acquainted with
He answered the phone.
A hoarse voice spoke, “James the Black Dragon. Congratulations on becoming the Dragon King.” “Who are you?” “It doesn’t
matter who I am. Come to Mt. Thunder Pass if you value Thea Callahan’s life.” Hearing this, James shot up immediately. Deep
creases lined his forehead as he growled, “If you dare lay a finger on her, I’ll exterminate you and your family.” “Why would I?
Don’t you worry. She’s perfectly fine, for now. I can’t guarantee what will happen next if you aren’t at Mt. Thunder Pass by
sunset.” Then, he hung up the call.
