The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 918
The house was neat and spotless.
James rushed up the stairs to Quincy’s room. The door was closed, so James knocked on the door. However, no movement
could be heard from inside.
He twisted the doorknob and found it unlocked, so he gently pushed it open.
The blankets inside the room were neatly stacked. James walked over and reached under them. The bed was cold, and it was
evident that no one had slept on it throughout the night.
Maxine scanned the room and said, “I don’t think she came back last night.”
“That’s strange. Where else would she go?” James panicked. He would not be as worried if only Quincy was missing, but even
Thea had disappeared without a trace.
“Let’s check the company,” Maxine suggested.
“Alright.” James nodded.
The two walked out of the villa.
Luther acted as their driver and took them to Messiah Corporation.
It was already nine in the morning when they reached the company, which was during the company’s office hours, but Quincy
had not arrived.
Outside Messiah Corporation, inside a Bentley...
James gently rubbed his temples and asked, “Maxine, what’re your thoughts on this? Please enlighten
me.”
Maxine analyzed the situation and said, “First, it was Tiara, then Quincy and Thea. The same person must be responsible for it.
To be honest, I’m a little confused about what the person behind this is trying to achieve.”
Maxine was also perplexed by the incident and unable to explain it.

She continued, “One thing for sure is that he’s not after money. Otherwise, you’d have already received a phone call by now.
Since he went through the trouble of kidnapping them, he isn’t out for their lives.”
James slumped into the car seat. His mind was a mess.
Maxine took his hand and comforted him. “Don’t worry. Let’s go back and analyze it carefully.”
Feeling his hand suddenly being touched by Maxine, James‘ whole body froze. She sensed that James was tensing up with an
unnatural expression and quickly let go of his hand.
He recollected himself and instructed, “Mr. Depp, head back to the villa.”
“Alright.” Luther drove back.
Soon, they arrived at Cynthia’s villa.
Seeing them return, Cynthia hurriedly inquired, “James, Maxine, how did it go? Did you find them?”
James shook his head. “Quincy’s house was empty. They weren’t at the company either. Neither of their phones can be reached.
It’s as if they just evaporated from this world.
“Huh?” Cynthia was startled. “W–What in the world happened?” she asked.
James remained silent. Maxine also did not reply to her question. She was confused and could not grasp the situation.
The room fell into dead silence.
After a while, Maxine said, “Quincy and Thea have gone missing, but Messiah Corporation can’t be left alone. Someone needs
to take control of the company’s operation for now.”
“I do have someone in mind.” James snapped out of his thoughts and took out his phone. He searched for Scarlett’s number and
dialed it.
Scarlett was part of the grave robber gang that entered the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb. However, an unexpected
attack occurred there, and she snatched the key and fled. Afterward, she followed Floyd back to Cansington, where she met
James.

Ultimately, she started working for James and was tasked to secretly buy Transgenerational New City.
The call was connected shortly. An excited voice sounded from the phone. “James! You’ve finally contacted me.”
James informed Scarlett of Cynthia’s address and instructed her to come over as soon as possible. “Sure!” Scarlett agreed
without hesitation and hung up the phone. Then, she hurried over to the location. James leaned into the sofa with his eye closed,
thinking about everything that had happened.
His thoughts drifted back to when he left the Southern Plains and arrived in Cansington, then marrying into the Callahans.
After thinking about the events that happened in the past few months, he felt that everything seemed to be progressing
according to a plan.
“Scarlett. Whose side are you on?” James murmured.
He was suddenly suspicious of Scarlett.
