She was James’ cousin, after all.To her, Xara was only here to gain experience. Sooner or later, she would be the top brass of the company.“Huh? I’m in charge of the region near the food street?” Xara was stunned.That was a task only a high-ranking official would be assigned.Based on her original plans, she would be content working just any job in Cansington. Even a lower executive position would suffice.Now, she was in charge of an entire region.She had heard that the food street required exceptionally high prerequisites for the entry of business investments.Only renowned catering companies in the culinary world had the right to establish themselves. Besides, the one-off payment for setting up shop was at least a couple of million dollars, not including the subsequent rental they would have to pay.At that moment, she started getting cold feet.Would she be up to the task?However, she was more concerned with James’ identity.“M-Ms. Brooks, w-who exactly is James? Is

Henry was asleep in a room in Common Clinic.Sensing movement, he immediately got up and switched on the lights.He could see James walking in.“James, what brings you here?”James looked at Henry dejectedly. “I fought with Thea.”“Huh? What happened?” Henry was confused.James sighed deeply.Henry passed him a cigarette.James accepted it.Henry lit the cigarette.James took a deep breath. “Nothing much. Just a little misunderstanding.”He recounted what happened to Henry.“Hahaha!”Henry could not restrain his laughter. “That’s hilarious! The General of the Southern Plains driven out of the Callahans’ residence?”Noticing James’ grim expression, he instantly held his tongue. With a serious look, he said, “James, I can help if you need me to kill someone. But, something like this? I’m helpless.”James lightly waved him off. “I’m not expecting you to help me. I’ll explain things to Thea when she calms down.”“You’ll be sleeping here tonight?”“Yes. We’ll have a good dr

“Black Dragon, James, stop screwing around. I’m a busy man, unlike you.”James cleared his throat. “Henry, redeploy a hundred thousand troops from the Southern Plains.”“Right on it.”Upon hearing them sing the same tune, the Blithe King was so enraged that he wanted to smash his phone.However, he managed to suppress his anger.“You win, James. But, can you not call me over such a trivial matter? Just call Daniel. He’ll deal with it.”“Are you trying to say I can call you if it isn’t trivial?”The Blithe King was so irritated that he hung up the phone.After hanging up the phone, he immediately gave his orders. “Daniel, there’s something I need you to do for me.”Daniel could not believe his ears when he received his orders.Baffled, he left the Blithe King’s office. At the same time, in Common Clinic, James was relieved after the call.“Thea, I’d like to see you try. Very impressive of you, Henry. There’s no way I’d have thought of such an intricate plan.”Henry’s face

“What’s going on? Wasn’t everything fine just now?”“Today is my and my girlfriend’s shared birthday. We were planning to get our marriage certificate today. What happened?”Many people complained as they left the Department of Civil Affairs.Meanwhile, James was ecstatic.It was a feeling happier than winning a battle. He walked to the roadside and got into Henry’s car. “Let’s go, Henry.”“Where are you going next, James? The House of Royals or the clinic?”James yawned. “To the clinic. I need to take a nap.” He had drank until very late the previous night and was still a little drowsy.“Alright.”Henry drove to Common Clinic.Unable to get a divorce, Thea headed to the company to continue dealing with company affairs.James slept until noon.Outside Common Clinic, Nine Dragons Street, food stall.James put one foot on a bench and nibbled on a chicken wing. “Henry, simply delaying the divorce isn’t going to do. You have to help me come up with something.”“What can

“Is Grandpa home?”“Yeah, of course. However, don’t you know your status? You’re just a dog to the Callahans. You’ll have to crawl if you want to come inside.”“Who is it, Megan?”Tommy walked over and saw James at the door. “Yo, James! What a rare visitor,” he sneered.“I’m here to see Grandpa. I’ve got an important matter to discuss with him,” said James.“Didn’t you hear Megan? You’re a dog to the Callahans. You’ll have to crawl inside if you want to enter the Callahans’ villa,” Tommy said condescendingly.Tommy came out to welcome someone—his youngest sister, who moved to North Cansington after marriage had returned.He wanted to welcome her back home personally.Wendy Callahan was Howard’s youngest daughter and Megan and Tommy’s sister.Six months ago, she married into a wealthy family in North Cansington whose status was comparable to the Great Four of Cansington.Her husband was also very promising. Despite not being a direct descendant of the Colemans, he was the de

After hearing James’ words, Lex exclaimed in surprise, and his body trembled.“What…”This was something that he had never dared to imagine before.“Is this real, James?”The people gathered at the door were unaware of what happened, and they glanced at Lex, puzzled by his reaction.“Granpa, let’s talk over there.”James pulled Lex away and reassured him, “Grandpa, I swear what I’ve said is true. I’ve already made arrangements. You can hold your birthday party at the House of Royals if you’d like, Grandpa. Holding your eightieth birthday there will be the first step of the Callahans becoming an influential family when the news spreads throughout Cansington.”After a momentary excitement, Lex calmed down.He glanced at James.“Do you know what kind of place is the House of Royals, James?“It’s been built for years, and countless wealthy families have tried to purchase it. Some even wanted to buy it for billions of dollars, but there was no channel to purchase it. Now, you’re t

James did not want to become famous.“You know the Blithe King, right? In the past, he had a conflict with my commander, the Black Dragon. He’ll stop your birthday celebration if he discovers that the House of Royals belongs to the Black Dragon. It’ll be very troublesome if that happens.”Lex trembled upon hearing his.He could not afford to offend the Blithe King.James was very satisfied with Lex’s reaction, so he continued, “As long as Grandpa doesn’t say anything, no one will know. You can announce that the House of Royals belongs to an old friend. That’ll definitely be good press for the Callahans.”James came up with a plan for Lex.Since Lex was a smart man, he should know how to deal with it.Lex patted James’ shoulder. “I was right about letting you marry into the Callahans, James. It is the best decision of my life! I never imagined that I could have such a grand celebration at the age of eighty. I’ll hold a press conference to announce the change of venue for my birth

Lex also doubted James.It was believable if it was an ordinary place, but they were talking about the House of Royals.The famous House of Royals in Cansington.He had to confirm it for himself.Howard personally drove the car.Lex, Tommy, Megan, Wendy, and her husband, the deputy captain of the specialized police unit, all headed together to the House of Royals in the car.Brody was from North Cansington and rarely visited Cansington.Yet he had also heard of the House of Royals. It was rumored to be a grand mansion that was unwilling to be sold for even 10 billion dollars. There was no channel to buy it even if you had money. Soon, they arrived in the suburbs of Cansington.There was a mountain ahead of them. The mountain environment was beautiful, and the air around the area was clear.The villa stood at the foot of the mountain.From a distance, a garden, golf courses, swimming pools, and other facilities could be seen in the villa.There were also other independent
