Chapter 196
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

James drove his electric motorcycle to the Callahans’ villa.As soon as he entered the house, he saw the antiques and paintings scattered on the floor.Lex sat on the sofa and smoked his tobacco. Apart from a few core members that were seated, everyone else was standing.James walked in and pretended to be surprised. “Oh? I thought you were having your eightieth birthday in the House of Royals? Why’re you all at home? What’s going on?”He saw Wendy sitting on the sofa while crying. “What’s the matter, Wendy? Where’s your deputy captain husband, Brody? Why don’t I see him here?”James said and deliberately looked around.The Callahans had very ugly-looking expressions.They were extremely provoked by James.However, they required James’ help and could not scold him.Tommy uttered softly, “James, don’t you have an unusual relationship with Xara? Since she’s working for Ms. Brooks now, could you get her to ask Ms. Brooks to forgive the Callahans?”“Huh?”James walked over and s

Everyone was shocked by James’ words.How did the live-in son-in-law have such influence? How was he able to get the Blithe King to appear in person?After being stunned for a while, they immediately made sense of the situation.James was using the opportunity to act as if he was really powerful after the incident.Who in Cansington was capable of getting the Blithe King to show up in person?Lex took a deep breath and said, “James, regardless of what happened, you’re part of the Callahans now. You can’t just watch us go down in the fire, right?”James raised his voice. “Didn’t you want to expel me from the Callahans? Didn't you want Thea to divorce me?”“N-not anymore.“You won’t be divorced. You’re still part of our family.”The family members began to try and persuade James.“Thea, what do you say?” Lex glanced at Thea and asked.Thea thought for a while and said, “As long as you can solve the current crisis of the Callahans, I’ll give you another chance.” James glanced

“Yes.”James did not deny it and boasted, “Scarlett’s House of Royal belongs to me, and I can go if I want. I also arranged for Xara to work in the Transgenerational Group. Scarlett will listen to everything I say.”Thea rolled her eyes.“We flatter you a bit, and you go on making up more outrageous lies?”The Callahans glanced at him contemptuously.His lies were outrageous.“By your words, that means Scarlett is your wife, and you invited the Blithe King to the House of Royals today?” Tommy said coldly.James glanced at Tommy. “Of course.” “What a liar.” Tommy snorted.The other family members looked at him condescendingly.Now there was no more need for them to curry favor with James since he was not the one who solved the family crisis.Xara was from the same family as Gladys, the Hills. What did it have to do with James?James had told the truth. The Callahans did not believe him, and he could not do anything about it.It was not that they do not want to believe him.

“No way. Is Thea that influential?”“Even if the Cadens were a powerful family, they’re now long gone. Why would they make an effort to curry favor with Thea?”“In my opinion, Grayson from The Gourmand must’ve taken an interest in her.”Upon hearing this, Thea’s face reddened. She refuted the thought, “D-Don’t spout nonsense.”“Thea, Bryan Grayson is part of the Grayson family from the Capital. It’s a good thing he likes you. In my opinion, you should divorce James. That trash only leeches off the Callahans. Though he has no abilities whatsoever, he boasts non-stop.”The Callahans, once again, tried to convince Thea to divorce James.James had an exasperated look.Now that the scar was gone, they had forgotten about the pain.Thea glanced at James and said, “I married him, so I’m his wife. We may have had some misunderstandings in the past, but we’ve resolved those issues. I’m willing to give him another chance.”James felt a sense of warmth growing in his chest upon hearing h
Chapter 202
Lex had organized a birthday banquet at the House of Royals.It was meant for the most powerful and influential people and hence was supposed to be a huge sensation in Cansington.Some went to get a glimpse of Thea, but most were there for the House of Royals.The House of Royals was no ordinary place. Since the Callahans managed to organize a birthday banquet there, it could only mean they were now acquainted with some big shot.No one expected there to be a false alarm.Now, everyone knew that it all happened because of a son-in-law of the Callahans, who used to be the vice-captain of North Cansington’s police force.Someone from the Cadens had been working as the secretary of a general of North Cansington’s Military Region, and it was only because of his connections that the Callahans were able to organize a banquet at the House of Royals.However, the secretary had made a mistake, which led to the false alarm at the Callahans’ banquet. As such, they were now once again a lau

Henry reported the situation to James.James’ face darkened. “How are the preparations going for the Blithe King?”Henry replied, “I’ve inquired about it. He told me he’s assembled a force of a hundred combat aircraft, three hundred tanks, five hundred armored vehicles, and a thousand convoys in the military region. They’re simply waiting for your command. However, the Blithe King said this would be the last time he helped you out. He also said he doesn’t want to create a commotion.”James said coldly, “I’ll spare those unrelated to the case. However, there’ll be no mercy for the ones involved.”Henry could feel the murderous intent in James’ voice.James walked out of Common Clinic.He had a change of clothes and was now wearing a large-sized trench coat. He held the mask he had earlier in his hands.Today, he would settle the feud from ten years ago.The men from The Great Four were gathered in the suburbs of Cansington near Flora Lakeside.As far as the eye could see, there
