The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 821
Tiara finally regained consciousness.
She had suffered unimaginable tortures. She was whipped, and her flesh was burnt with a scorching branding iron.
Yesterday, the doctor performed surgery on her and treated her injuries.
When James entered her ward, she was staring at the ceiling, her eyes void of all emotion.
Hearing footsteps, she immediately turned her head. Upon seeing James, she was unable to stop the tears from flowing down
her cheeks.
James walked over to her and sat on a chair beside the bed. Grabbing her hand, he consoled her, “Everything’s fine now.”
“J–James, I didn’t tell him anything.” She croaked.
She persevered because she had a conviction. She would never betray James, even if it cost her her life.
“I know.”
Seeing the state Tiara was in, James was distressed.
From her injuries, James could tell she had undergone unimaginable torture. Not even a battle -hardened warrior could withstand
such agony, let alone a frail maiden. However, the fact that she stood her ground showed great tenacity on her part.
Looking at her pale face, James scolded himself in his head.
This was all because of him.
If he had been more decisive and pushed Tiara away, she would not have had to go through such an ordeal.
However, what had happened had happened.
The only thing James could do now was to repay his debts toward her for the rest of his life.
He grabbed Tiara’s hand and took her pulse to diagnose her body condition.
She did not suffer any internal injuries. She only required a period of rest to let her body recover.

Seeing the look of anticipation on Tiara’s face, James whispered, “Everything’s fine. You just have to rest well, and your body will
recover in no time.”
“D–Did I ruin your plans?”
“Of course not. The research laboratories are no more. You helped me out big time,” James said.
It was the truth.
If it was not for Tiara’s abduction, James would not have made a move on the Emperor’s research laboratories. The Emperor
would not have blown up the laboratories to destroy the evidence.
“Thank goodness.”
Tiara was worried that her slip–up would affect James‘ plan.
James, on the other hand, was blaming himself for the incident.
Though he knew that the Emperor would surely make a move, he still instructed Tiara to head to Herbal Biotech. If he had been
more careful, this would not have happened.
James did not leave and instead accompanied Tiara in the hospital.
On the other hand, Quincy hurriedly made her way to James and Tiara after learning what had happened.
“What the hell, James?” Quincy scolded the moment she entered the ward. “How did this happen?”
Tiara, who was lying on the bed, said in a feeble voice, “It’s not James‘ fault. I let my guard down.”
Seeing Tiara’s pale face and the bandages wrapped around her, Quincy sighed.
Looking at James, she said, “I watched the news. A mountain near Lily City exploded last night. Many explosions occurred
around the same time all over Sol. What exactly is going on?”
As Quincy was part of the team, James was honest with her about everything.
He briefly narrated the chain of events.

“This is my first face–to–face fight with the Emperor. He blew up all the research laboratories. to destroy the evidence.”
Upon hearing this, Quincy took a deep breath.
She never thought that so much would happen in a single night.
After brief contemplation, she looked at Tiara and said, “Things are getting increasingly dangerous. I can’t allow Tiara to stay by
your side anymore. She was lucky to have survived this. Next time, she might not be so fortunate.”
