“I’m so pissed!” James kicked a chair to release his anger in Common Clinic.Henry sat beside him and smoked a cigarette as he watched James. This was the first time he saw James acting like this.In the past, James would go on a massacre in battle if he was angry. Now, he could only resort to kicking a chair to vent his anger.‘Is this what it’s like to be a man in love?‘The Black Dragon’s fangs were smoothed out after falling in love?’“Here, James. Have a cigarette.” Henry passed him a cigarette.James took it, picked up the chair he kicked away, and sat down.“Henry, how can there be so many shameless people? I was the one who solved the problem. What did it have to do with the Colemans?” he said.Henry found the situation extremely outrageous after learning the whole story.“Who else is to blame? It’s your own fault. The Callahans would be desperately trying to suck up to you if you just revealed your identity to them. Plus, compared to Brody, who has an uncle as the g

The House of Royals was an extremely found place in Cansington.However, not even the super-rich were permitted to visit the House of Royals.Many bigwigs were curious about what the House of Royals looked like after receiving an invitation from Lex.Lex had used a significant amount of money to host this event.Initially, he had a budget of 30 million, then added an additional 50 million.In total, the whole event cost them 80 million dollars.Outside the House of Royals, there was an open space.In this area, a stage was set up with an artist singing to her heart’s content. It would look like a Christmas event if someone passed by without knowing what was happening.The living room in the House of Royals was thousands of square meters.Lex wore a red suit and held his dragon cane proudly and confidently.All the other Callahans were energetic and very high-spirited.Thea showed up in a gorgeous dress and became the center of attention.“Alex Yates brought a bottle of Chat

Gavin was a council member of the Five Provinces Business Alliance.The previous day, Zack, a member of the Five Provinces Business Alliance had offended Lex.Yacob, the business alliance’s president was furious and phoned Gavin to scold him, asking him to seek forgiveness.Gavin heard it was because the Callahans knew a particular general.In order to extinguish his anger, he prepared a generous gift today and personally came to celebrate Lex’s birthday.Gavin was a low-profile person who rarely attended any events. Many people were envious of Lex for getting Gavin to show up in person and prepare such a generous gift.Everyone understood it was the Callahans rising in status.Lex, dressed in a red suit, walked over with his cane in hand and a smile on his face. “Mr. Watson, it’s enough for you to be here. You didn’t need to bring such a great gift. You’re flattering me.”“Mr. Callahan, it’s a small gift to show my sincerity. I hope you like it.”Gavin was extremely respectfu

Henry continued watching the crowd.House of Royals, living room.Lex continuously greeted the bigwigs that showed up at his birthday party.“From the North Cansington Military Region, Chase Nolan has arrived and presented a gift of premium tobacco and alcohol.”A voice sounded in the living room.It was an announcement that shocked everyone present.The living room filled with hundreds of people fell into silence instantly, and everyone turned toward the door.Two people walked through the door.Both of them were dressed in uniforms. The one walking ahead was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who wore a military cap and had a shiny star medal on his shoulder.The person who followed behind him was evidently not someone of a low military rank.“He’s here. He’s here! My uncle has arrived with the general,” Brody exclaimed.He immediately approached Chase Nolan and straightened himself to give a formal military salute. “Sir! I’m the deputy captain of Noth Cansington’s speciali

‘Xara?‘The Xara who hooked up with the trashy live-in son-in-law of the Callahans?‘Who is she coming with?‘Scarlett?‘The Scarlett who bought the entire Transgenerational Group?’The noisy living room went silent in an instant.Scarlett’s name and reputation had been widespread throughout Cansington since she bought the Transgenerational Group.This was a figure at the pinnacle of the pyramid.What was a wealthy family right now?They were nothing in front of Scarlett.“What’s going on, Thea? Isn’t that Xara? Why is she with Scarlett? That’s the new owner and chairman of the Transgenerational Group,” David whispered. Thea shook her head. “How would I know?” Scarlett entered the room, and her beautiful eyes scanned the room.Those who met her eyes held their breath.Many people secretly discussed it.“Which big shot did the Callahans suck up to?“How is it possible for the new owner of Transgenerational Group to be here?”“I never expected the legendary Scarlett wh

Lex looked at Brody.Brody stood up and said, “Uncle, didn’t I call you yesterday about getting beaten up by the Xenoses?”Yoke nodded. “Yeah? I think that happened.”Brody did call him yesterday, but he was busy with some business and did not have to take care of such trivial matters, so he casually brushed it off.“Yeah. Then, Mr. Watson showed up with the perpetrators to ask for forgiveness and allowed us to use the House of Royals to organize the birthday party.”“Huh?”Scarlett looked at Gavin.Gavin was also confused.‘What's going on here?’He asked for forgiveness because the president called him, saying the general was angry.Since Chase was the only general present, he naturally assumed it was his doing.‘Was I wrong?’Scarlett's face darkened, and she glared at the bright decorations around the House of Royals. She glanced at Lex and uttered word by word, “I’ll treat it as if you’ve rented this place from me, Lex. It will cost thirty billion for one day. I’ll per

The general’s secretary, Yoke, almost passed out from fear after hearing the order from the Blithe King.However, fainting was not going to help him avoid his fate.To be able to climb so high in the ranks, he definitely had to use some unclean methods. The stuff that he did would surely be discovered if they ran a thorough investigation on him.Hundreds of people were gathered in the huge living room of the House of Royals, yet none dared to speak.The atmosphere was extremely tense.Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!Two big leather shoes made contact with the ground with loud thumping noises.Two fully-armed soldiers approached and took away the unconscious Yoke.Meanwhile, Chase, who had a star on his shoulder, turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.‘This…What’s going on?’Chase was confused about the whole situation. The first person he visited in Cansington was the Blithe King.Everything was fine before, but now the Blithe King had shown up at the House of Royals

He thought this would be the most glorious time of his life. He never expected it to be the most humiliating one instead.Worse still, the owner of the Transgenerational Group, Scarlett, was asking them to compensate 30 billion dollars.30 billion dollars?It was an enormous amount that the Callahans simply could not afford.“What exactly happened?”Lex was furious and smashed the furniture and some antiques in the house into pieces.There were dozens of people gathered in the huge villa, yet none of them spoke up.Everyone knew that if they spoke while Lex was furious, they would only get themselves in trouble.After venting his anger, Lex calmed down and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Gladys’ family and pleaded, “Gladys, you’re the only one capable of saving the Callahans now. Didn’t you say your niece is working in the Transgenerational Group? Didn’t she come with Ms. Brooks? You’re the only one who can help us now.”“I…”Gladys was on the fence.Meanwhile, Thea sat on th
