Chapter 593


    A police car pulled up to the courthouse.


    James was escorted out of the car.


    He noticed that there a crowd had formed at the gates of the court.


    Thea and the rest of the Cahans were there. So were Quincy, Scarlett, and the others from


    Transgenerational Group. Zigmund was present too.


    Thea walked over to James who was in handcuffs and being escorted out of the police car. “May I


    speak with him for a while?”


    The police nodded and said, “Make it quick.”


    James smiled at her weakly. “Why are you here, honey?”


    Thea raised her hand to interrupt him.


    “You’re going to be convicted, James. The judge might deal with you leniently if you admit to your


    charges. I hope you learn your lesson after going to prison. I won’t be waiting for you. Once your


    sentence is determined, I will divorce you.”


    James felt a lump in his throat.


    Throughout their marriage, they had constantly been at odds with each other.


    This led to them almost splitting up a few times.


    Now, Thea had finally uttered those words decisively.


    “Thea…”


    Ignoring James, Thea turned to leave.


    James, on the other hand, continued to be led away by the police.


    In the defendant’s room at court…


    James had a cheerless expression. The trial was not at all in his favor. The best way forward was to


    plead for Zigmund to withdraw the case.


    At that moment, the Blithe King entered the room.


    The Blithe King lit a cigarette and handed it to James.


    James took it and looked at him. “What? Did youe here tough at me?”


    The Blithe King took a seat opposite James and smiled at him. “How could you think of me like that?


    I’m here to see if there’s anything I can help you out with.”


    “Get Zigmund here for me.”


    James smoked his cigarette.


    Now that it hade to this, he had no choice but to tell Zigmund the whole truth and pray that he


    would withdraw the case.


    “Sure.”


    The Blithe King turned to leave.


    Soon, he entered the room with Zigmund by his side.


    Zigmund walked over to James and said coldly, “I’m telling you, James. It’s no use. Even if the Blithe


    King intercedes for you, I will never withdraw the case.”


    James smiled cooly at him. “What if I told you I was being framed?”


    “Framed?”


    Zigmund scoffed at his suggestion. “With all the decisive evidence we currently have?”


    The Blithe King chimed in. “He really was being framed. You’re the guest at this year’s medical


    conference. You should be aware of yesterday’s events on Medical Street. Jonathan Harris was behind


    this all along, He was afraid that James would ruin his ns. So, he came up with a n to send him to


    prison.”


    Zigmund was stunned at this revtion.


    Then, he red at James. “Are you telling me that Jonathan set him up? Who does he think he is? The


    ck Dragon?”


    “That’s right.” The Blithe King nodded. “The one and only.”


    Zigmund stood up immediately.


    Wearing a dumbfounded look, he asked puzzledly, “How can that be? I saw the ck Dragon with my


    own eyes yesterday. The ck Dragon is the guardian of Sol. He has made significant contributions to

    our country. Just yesterday, he defended the honor of Solean Medicine all by himself. Blithe King,


    please don’t speak lightly of the ck Dragon.”


    The Blithe King exined stoically. “I speak only the truth. I substituted James for my own man and got


    him out of here. This was the only way he managed to turn the tides of thepetition yesterday. He


    was there wearing a mask in disguise.”


    Saying that, he pulled James’ ck Dragon identity card out.


    “Have a look at this.”


    Zigmund took it. Seeing that it was indeed the ck Dragon identity card, he was shocked.


    “A-Are you really the ck Dragon?”


    James nodded.


    “Yes. Though I knew Jonathan was plotting something, I don’t know what exactly. Little did I know that


    he was nning to defeat all practitioners of Solean Medicine to expand Goryeon Medicine’s sphere of


    influence. I believe this incident at the medical conference was only just the beginning. They will not


    stop there.”


    “He was afraid I’d ruin his ns. That was why he came up with a way to set me up. I was careless and


    fell for his schemes. Although I was being framed, the fact remains that I had sexual intercourse with


    your daughter. I deeply apologize for that.”


    Zigmund stared at James intently.
