Chapter 1109
After hanging up the phone, James helped Delh up and said, “Let’s go.”
“Mhm.” Delh nodded and left the bar alongside James.
Meanwhile, Maxine followed close behind.
After leaving the bar, James pulled his phone out and called Madelyn.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not avable.”

James frowned. “Huh, weird…”
Maxine said, “The dynamics in the Capital areplex. All families and forces have informants
everywhere. It’s only natural for her to be extra cautious. After all, she’ll be dead if she’s discovered.
Let’s return for now and wait for another opportunity to show itself.”
James did not think much about it.
Looking at Delh, he asked, “Have you eaten?”
Delh shook her head.
James brought her to a nearby restaurant and requested a private room.
In the private room, James asked, “What happened? How did you end up singing at a bar?”
Delh was still wearing James’ jacket. Taking a sip of a ss of warm water, she said, “My family went
bankrupt. My stepfather disappeared without a trace, leaving my mother with a pile of debt. Though
we’ve pawned everything in the house, not to mention that I’ve used up all of my savings to repay the
debts, we still owe a great amount of debt. Since I’ve been canceled, I have no choice but to sing in a
bar.”
James asked, “How much do you owe?”
“Around a few hundred million.” Delh was not too sure herself.
After all, these were debts owed by his stepfather.
“That much?” James frowned and asked, “What does your stepfather do for a living?”
Delh said, “He runs a tech business, so he should be a pretty rich guy with assets totaling a few
billion dors. I heard from my mom that he antagonized some big shots. That’s why hispany went
bankrupt and he disappeared without a trace.”
“What’s the name of thepany? I’ll investigate the matter.”
“Blue Tech Corporation.”
James pulled out his phone and called a number. “Investigate the reason Blue Tech Corporation went
bankrupt and find out the whereabouts of its owner.”
“Thank you, Dragon General.” Delh was thankful.
“Don’t mention it. You’re General Kimberly’s daughter. It’s my responsibility to take care of you now that
he’s no longer here with us. I told you to give me a call if you have any difficulties. By the way, what do
you mean by being canceled?”
Delh sighed. “Since my stepfather owed a huge amount of debt, the debt collectors came knocking
on the door of the entertainmentpany I was in. These people seem to be rather powerful, so the
“I’ll deal with it.” James gave his assurance.
He never expected such an unjust thing to happen in the Capital. He silently vowed to thoroughly
investigate the matter.
Soon, the dishes arrived. After eating dinner, they left the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, James asked, “Where are you currently staying?”
Delh said, “Since we’ve auctioned off our house, my mom and I currently rent a house in the
suburbs.”
“Let me escort you back.”
Delh hurriedly shook her head. “Th-There’s no need for that. I can return myself. Thank you for your
help. Once I’ve washed the jacket you lent me, I’ll return it to the Emperor’s Mansion.”
Then, she turned to leave.
James remained silent.
Maxine by his side asked, “Are we going back now?”
“You should return first. I’ll head over to the military region for a while,” James said.
“Mhm… Alright, be careful then.”
Maxine said. Then, she left.
James, on the other hand, headed over to the military region. Along the way, he called ke.
A few days ago, he had instructed ke to investigate the generals of the military region. A few days
passed, yet there were still no results.
Soon, the call went through.
James asked, “How’s the investigation going?”
“James, are you referring to the location of theboratories or the generals of the Red me Army?”
“Both.”
“I have yet to obtain any reliable information regarding the location of theboratories. Right now, I’m
still investigating the Red me Army’s generals. They’ve recently removed all traces of what they did
in the past, so progress has been slow.”
