Before Bjorn and the others could say anything else, Gladys walked over to James while scolding him.“You trash! What did you do? How did you offend these bigwigs?”As she spoke, she raised her hand and swung it at James.James instinctively dogged her hand.Thea came over, pulled Gladys aside, and explained, “Mom, it’s not James’ fault. Bjorn wanted the King of Ginseng, but Christine gave it to me instead. I didn’t expect Bjorn to be such a bad-tempered man.“Haha!” Bjorn burst out laughing after hearing this. “So what if I’m a bad-tempered man? I’ll let this incident go after I break this brat’s legs, you hand over the King of Ginseng, and you stay with me for three months. Otherwise…”He glanced at the crowd.“Otherwise, it’ll be game over for the Hills,” he said indifferently.“I’m here to convey that we stand by whatever Bjorn decides to do. The Yoders will be the first to suppress the Hills, and I can ensure that your family goes bankrupt within a day,” Cooper stepped for

Everyone’s attention turned toward the voice, and another group of people approached from the distance.The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and who looked like a very successful person.This person was Bryson.Behind him was a long-haired man dressed in a black singlet and a dragon tattooed on his body. This man was Dylan Nell.Another 20 subordinates followed behind him.These men carried stretchers.Many people were lying on these stretchers. They were bruised and groaning in pain.“Who are these people?”The Hills were puzzled.Jedidiah walked over cautiously, seeing that these people wore very stern expressions. “Who are you guys?”“Where’s James?”Dylan ignored Jedidiah and demanded James.Everyone’s eyes were fixated on James.Thea was also confused. ‘What is this about this time?’Dylan seemed familiar to her, but she could not remember where she had seen him before.James glanced at the vicious-looking Dylan and recognized the visitor. This was the

James was nonchalant and did not seem afraid of these unexpected visitors.Bjorn and Bryson glared at James.Bjorn shouted, “Brat, get down now and let me break your legs. Your wife will come with me, and this will be over.”Bryson pointed to his subordinates lying on the stretchers with broken legs and said indifferently, “How can I just let this go? You beat my men and have to pay me two billion dollars to resolve this matter. Since the Callahans don’t have money, the Hills will pay for it. If you don’t pay up, hmph…don’t blame me for the consequences.”The Hills went silent.These bigwigs were all after James, so they remained silent.Jedidiah could not allow such suppression. “Presumptuous!”He stood up and shouted, “This is the Hills’ villa! How dare you be presumptuous in our house!”“Dad, don’t say too much. These are people we shouldn’t mess with.”“Yeah, Dad. It’s none of our business, so don’t get involved in it.”“Dad, do you know who these people are? This perso

In just a few moments, all the employed Hill family members were suspended from work.The Hills members panicked.They shouted and scolded the Callahans with offensive words.Thea also wore a serious expression. How could so many things happen at a birthday party?She kept thinking of a solution.The idea of calling the mysterious Mr. Caden popped into her mind, but she did not have his contact number.“Drag that brat to me,” said Bjorn.The Hills members quickly backed away in fear.Benjamin and David also hid far away.Gladys pulled Thea away. A dozen men dressed in black stepped forward and surrounded James.James glanced at the guests that appeared at the Hills’ villa and said calmly, “It’s not too late for you to leave now. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave as you please later. Don’t you know the mysterious Mr. Caden who has a great influence in Cansington? He is an existence that is feared by many.”“Haha…“The mysterious Mr. Caden? Not even God will be able to

However, no matter how Cooper knelt and bowed, Chase remained indifferent. He looked at Kannon.“General, this man seems to be running some kind of security company. He said that there are more than thirty thousand employees in his company, and they will constantly harass the Hills family until they wouldn’t even dare to leave their houses,” said James.“Oh?”Chase’s expression darkened, and he said, “I never expected a security company like this to still exist in North Cansington. How dare they do as they please? It seems this company isn’t clean. I’ll have to look into it.”Hearing this, Kannon’s face went pale, and his legs went rubbery. Immediately, he fell to the ground on his knees with a thump.“General, it’s none of my business…”Chase instructed the man beside him, “Call the relevant departments and arrest all these people causing trouble at the Hills’ villa.”“Understood.”The Hills were utterly stunned to watch the scene unfold. Who was this person?Why were the

Chase did not leave immediately.Instead, he stayed at the Hills’ villa for a while and chatted with Jedidiah about some everyday stuff.Meanwhile, the youngsters of the Hills surrounded Thea and constantly ingratiated themselves.Half an hour later, hundreds of military vehicles appeared outside the Hills’ villa.Some fully armed soldiers entered the courtyard.The leading officer approached, straightened up, and saluted. “General Nolan.”His voice was loud and clear.Chase waved his hand and pointed at the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground. “Detain them, investigate them, and punish them severely for their crimes,” he instructed.“Understood.“Take them away.”The fully armed soldiers stepped forward and took away everyone kneeling on the ground.After the people were taken away, Chase instructed his subordinate to present the prepared premium cigarettes to Jedidiah.“Mr. Hill, rest assured that all the Hill members will be reinstated, and these troublemakers

“Darling, it seems the mysterious Mr. Caden has a really powerful background. He even managed to persuade the five-star commander, the Blithe King. Only five people in the world can persuade him—the other four of the Five Commanders and the person from the Royal Dynasty in the Capital.”“I-I’ve no idea.” Thea looked puzzled.James smiled lightly.Thea must have guessed the mysterious Mr. Caden’s identity after he had said so much.“Why are you still over here, Thea? Come sit with us…” An elder of the Hills came and dragged Thea to a table to sit down in the courtyard.A bunch of the Hill members surrounded her.They asked about Thea’s relationship with General Nolan.At this moment, Gladys enjoyed the most remarkable and proudest moment ever of the Hills in the past few decades.David also gathered with the youngsters of the Hills and bragged about the mysterious Mr. Caden.James walked out of the courtyard and sat at the door threshold outside. He lit a cigarette and smoked w

The birthday banquet became Thea’s personal show.Even the old lady of the house kept praising Thea.“Huh?!”While the family was enjoying their meals, Clinton answered a phone call, abruptly stood up, and exclaimed.His shouts attracted attention.The old lady asked dissatisfiedly, “What are you shouting for?”“It’s because I got a call, Grandma. I was promoted and transferred to the military region.”“What?”“Promoted?”Everyone was shocked.Why did he get promoted out of the blue?After a momentary shock, everyone turned their eyes toward Thea.“Don’t look at me. It’s none of my business,” Thea was also puzzled and hurriedly explained.“Clinton, what’s the position you’re being promoted to in the military region?“Yeah, Clinton! Stop stringing us along! Hurry and tell us about the position.”“I don’t know either. They just called to inform me to report at the military region,” said Clinton.“What are you still doing here, then? Hurry and go!”“Alright!”Clinton did
