Ch. 51..60
The Almighty Dragon General by Crazy Carriage Chapter 51
Chapter 51 His power was beyond comprehension. Not only that, he was an exceedingly talented doctor, too.
She had never in her wildest nightmares imagined James would gain sucha terrifying identity.
It was no wonder that the Blithe King did nothing when Trent was killed.
The person that killed Trent was the Black Dragon, someone that not even the Blithe king could touch.
Charles only started calming down when James left.
His entire body was drenched in sweat.
He trembled again when he caught sight of the wound-laden Rowena, turning away to run.
"Don’t...
Don't go.
S-Save me.
Send me to the hospital...
I...
I have money, I'll pay you.” Earlier, Rowena wanted to die, but now that James was gone, her will to live returned.
Charles stopped at the mention of money.
He weighed his options.
James said he would leave Rowena alive before he left.
If he left and Rowena died, he would have nowhere to run if James decided to blamehim for it.
Besides, if he saved Rowena, he'd get money for it.
With that in mind, he took his phone out and called the emergency hotline.
Meanwhile, James put his mask back on as he left Rowena’s villa.
He then went to the Frasiers, the Zimmermans, and the Wilsons' homes. Dawn.
Cansington, Caden Mausoleum.
In front of Thomas Caden's grave.
Three bloodied heads were placed before his tombstone.
James knelt before Thomas's grave.
“Grandfather, Warren Xavier, Yves Frasier, Jacob Zimmerman, and Desmond Wilson are dead.
Everyone that set fire to our home back then are dead. But...
forgive me.
I was unable to locate the whereabouts of Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge.
"Don't worry, though.
I'll definitely get it back.
“The main culprits may be dead, but I won't allow The Great Four to get away that easily.
I'll show them true despair.
I'll make their lives a living hell.
I’ll torture them to death to avenge our family.” kneeling before Thomas's grave, James sobbed openly.
He was the Black Dragon of the Southern Plains, yet even in the face of countless troops, he never shed a tear.
Men did not shed tears when they bled.
However, at this moment, he cried openly, loudly.
He may have been the almighty Black Dragon, with unparalleled strength, but no one knew what he hadendured in these ten years.
Ten years ago.
He was scorched by fire.
He witnessed his loved ones wailing in agony in the inferno, their desperate cries and expressions seared foreverinto his mind.
However, just as he was about to give in to despair, a girl in a ponytail rushedin and undid his bindings, then saved him from the sea of fire without any regard for her own safety.
After they had rushed out of the burning estate, he jumped into the river and ignored the girl, even though he saw thatshe was burning too.
He had been consumed with guilt in these ten years.
He blamed himself.
With hatred on his back, he went from being a lowly soldier to rising through the ranksand becoming the Black Dragon he was today.
Repayment.
Revenge.
His enemies may have been dead, but the hatred in his heart was not so easily dispelled.
The Great Four had sinned.
They had to be punished.
Besides, from what Rowena had told him, he figured out that the mastermind that had orchestrated the fall of his family was someone in the Capital.
They had James's family killed so they could obtain Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge.
He clenched his fists.
“I don't care who took the painting, Grandfather, but I promise you I will have his head before you as tribute." Ten whole years of painand torment turned into tears streaking down his face.
The Almighty Dragon General by Crazy Carriage Chapter 52
Chapter 52 Soon, a hint of the morning sun broke through the horizon, illuminating the dark world. He killed The GreatFour's patriarchs and paid tribute to the dead souls of his family by presenting their heads to his grandfather.
Today, on the other hand, was a huge occasion for Cansington, even by the standards of the five regions.
There had been no official announcements for the date of the Blithe King’s succession, but they had released a notice that it would be held thisafternoon in Cansington's military base.
This caused an uproar.
The residents of Cansington were still trying to figure out how to get an invitation to the event.
Immediately after, another breaking news rocked Cansington.
"Good morning, everyone.
This is Cansington News.
Last night, famous tycoon Yves Frasier was found dead in his home.
Jacob Zimmerman and Desmond Wilson, too, had been found dead in their homes.
They died in the same manner, tied to a chair and decapitated.
"The authorities have launched an investigation.
"For more updates on this news story, please stay tuned to this station."
This news caused another uproar.
What? Yves Frasier, patriarch of the Frasiers, had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Jacob Zimmerman, patriarch of the Zimmermans, also had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Desmond Wilson, patriarch of the Wilsons, and also part of The Great Four, also had a significant net worth.
What was going on? Who dared make trouble when the Blithe King's succession ceremony was just about to begin? These deathswere not of ordinary people.
They were three of the most well-known tycoons in Cansington!
This was obviously done to provokethe Blithe King! Everyone was discussing the situation that had developed, along with the earlier death of Warren Xavier, the late patriarch of the Xaviers, Was it just a coincidence that all four patriarchs of The Great Four are all dead, or was someone behind this? Cansington, the city hospital.
Rowena was taken to the hospital in time and had her severed palm attached.
However, she could no longer exert any force with that hand in the future.
She lay on the hospital bed, head covered in bandages.
"Rowena, something major just happened.
The heads of the Frasiers, Zimmermans, and Wilsons are dead! They were all found tied to chairs, with their heads cut off!" an important memberof the Xaviers said.
"What?"
Rowena froze, then trembled.
D-Dead? "Who the hell hurt you, Rowena? Does this have anything to do with Father's death? Wasit the same person that killed the other three heads?" Rowena turned pale.
"Get everyone in our family to leave, big brother," she said frantically.
"Go as far away as possible, and never come back!" "What are you so scared of, Rowena?" Hector Xavierasked, confused.
"Who exactly is it? Today's the Blithe King's succession ceremony, but this guy did something that's shaken the entire city.
This is clearly provoking the Blithe King.
There's no way he'd let whoever this is get away with it!"
"Don’t ask questions.
Please just listen to me.
Leave now, or our entire family will be eradicated!" Rowena was terrified.
This was the Black Dragon they were talking about! The Blithe King meant nothing! If the Blithe Kingtried to do anything, he'd die, too! Hector nodded, still confused. "Fine. I'll arrange for everyone to leave. But... What about you?"
Rowena shook her head. "It's no use. I committed a grave sin. I’ll never be able to Chapter 52 escape, no matter where I go. Just leave, Hector.
Forget about me." Rowena knew what kind of person the Black Dragon was.
This was a person who stood on top of everyone else.
Escape? How on earth would she do that? Where would she run? She knew that no matter where she ran to, the Black Dragon would find her,then she would be in real trouble.
However, if she could find out where Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge was, she may be able to redeem herself and gether life back.
She might even be able to preserve her family's survival.
Chapter 53 Hector did not know why Rowena was so terrified.
However, he knew that Rowena had figured out the identity of their father's murderer.
It was the same person who murdered the other patriarchs as well.
One family, in particular, stood out to him.
The Cadens! There was only one family who had bad blood with the Xaviers as well as the other three families.
It was the Cadens, who were destroyed ten years ago! He did not ask further questions or say anything else, turning to leaveinstead.
Lying on the bed, Rowena was in despair.
All she wanted was for the Xaviers to reclaim their power.
Now, she knew that it was fruitless.
She should be counting her blessings that her family was still alive.
"The Black Dragon is terrifying.
He's trying to get rid of The Great Four once and for all.
I get it though.
Based on what happened ten years ago, anyone else would have a hard time putting it behind them too," Rowenamumbled hopelessly.
Simultaneously at some military base.
The Blithe King was in his military uniform, adorned with five stars.
"Sir, something happened last night.
A few people were murdered.
They were..." The Blithe King's most trusted confidant approached, giving him a rundown of last night's events.
"Hmm?»
The Blithe King's brows furrowed.
"Was it the Black Dragon?"
"Highly likely.
The Black Dragon was the one Thea saved from the fire ten years ago.
His face was badly burned and disfigured.
Somehow, he managed to transform his face completely.
He ended up at the Southern Plains, becoming a soldier and killing enemies on the battlefield.
He made his mark within the short span of ten years, earning the moniker of the Black Dragon and leading the Black Dragon Army of a million soldiers." Confused, the Blithe king asked, "Does he have a grudge against The Great Four?" "I've discovered that the incident ten years ago regarding the Cadens getting radicated is closely tied to the X.viers.
The fire at the Cadens' involves The Great Font as well."
The Blithe king looked as though hewas deep in thought.
Previously, all he knew was that James murdered Trent because Trent had made a move on his wife, Thea.
He did not expect that it would be this complicated.
Thea saved James ten years ago, while the Xaviers were responsible for eradicating the Cadens.
"Sir, what should we do? It's supposed to be your succession ceremony today, but James has made a mess of things.
If we don't say something, this will affect your reputation!" The Blithe king looked bitter.
"Say something? What do you want me to say? Do you expect me to send an army andtake the Black Dragon down? I don't have the guts.
Report it to the higher-ups.
Let's see what they say!" "Yes, sir." "Hold on..." "Is there anything else, sir?"
"Forget about it." TheBlithe King gave it some more thought, saying, "Cover it up.
Get someone to take the blame for James." "Sir, please consider it carefully.
The Black Dragon resigned and returned to Cansington for revenge.
This is just the beginning.
Who knows how many more of The Great Four will die? We can cover it up once, but can we do it forever? If we'renot careful, this could cause an uproar.
Furthermore, this is under your jurisdiction.
If the higher-ups were to pin the blame on someone, the responsibility..."
"Do as I say!"
The Blitheking took a deep breath.
Who was the Black Dragon? He was the commander of the Southern Plains, commanding his soldiers like a god.
Not only was his strength unrivaled, but his medical skills were also second to none!
LAKE
The Blithe king did not think the higher-ups would cause any trouble for theBlack Dragon.
If he reported it, they might even suspect him of accusing the Black Dragon.
He really would not be able to take the blame then.
"Yes, sir.
I'll think of something now and notify the media." The Blithe King's confidant left.
The Blithe King pondered on the matter.
Surely the higher authorities were familiar with James' background.
Yet, they allowed James to return to Cansington.
Then, they assigned him here.
"What are they trying to do?” The Blithe King exhaled deeply.
He could not guess at their thoughts anymore.
Chapter 54 Just before the Blithe king's succession ceremony, the three remaining patriarchs of The Great Four were murdered. This caused an uproar.
After James paid tribute to his family, he returned to the House of Royals where he took a shower andchanged his clothes.
He then checked his phone for the time.
However, he noticed a few missed calls and unread messages.
It was now eight in the morning.
At the Callahans'.
Thea sat on the bed in her room, staring at her phone.
She had stayed up the entire night, yet James did not call or even send her a message.
She forced herself not to call James.
After an entire night, she gave in.
She called James a few times but he did not answer.
She sent him a few messages.
He did not reply.
She grew extremely worried.
"Did I hurt his feelings last night? Was I too harsh with my words?" Thea could not help but berate herself.
Full of regret, she wished she could take her words back.
James read the messages from Thea.
"Jamie, I’m sorry.
I behaved rashly yesterday.
I didn't mean it.
Please come home."
Reading the message, James smiled.
He had never been angry at Thea.
It was only because she was angry that explaining anything to her would prove a difficult task.
He had wronged Thea. Thea saved him, yet he selfishly jumped into the river and abandoned her.
After saving him.
Threa became the ugliest Woman in Cansington.
She bronne laughing stoch, ridiculeshly all including lots own I ily
Now, as long as it made theativ, he would do anything wave for kneelingto another person.
Not even if it was Thea's landlinler He would rather die on his feel than live onhis knees This was the Black Dragon's dignity.
He replied to Thea's message immediately.
"I'm sorry.
I just woke up so I didn't manage to answer your calls.
I'm coming home now." James was planning to take a nap.
It could wait.
He sped toward the Callahans with the multi-purpose vehicle without a license plate.
Arriving at the entrance of their residential area, he noticed a fleet of cars parked there.
All the cars belonged to the Callahans.
The entire family was present, including Thea.
It was the Blithe king's succession ceremony today.
The Callahans had gotten an invitation.
The entire family was present with their fleet of cars.
In the lead was a Brentley worth a few million dollars.
The rest were BMV race cars worth millions as well.
David's car was the shabbiest.
Lex craved prestige and status.
Now that he had secured an invitation, he wanted all of Cansington to know.
He might have been the only one allowed to attend, but he still put on a lavish display with the fleet.
There were even banners on the fronts of the cars.
The banners were celebratory, featuring phrases about the Callahans attending the Blithe King's succession ceremony.
Standing in front of the Brentley, Lex was in a smart suit, leaning on his cane.
Glowing with pride, he had never looked more alive.
James approached in his multi-purpose vehicle without a license plate.
Even though the car had no license plate, it had a unique logo.
It resembled a black dragon or maybe a black cloud.
Seeing the Callahans, he stopped his car and disembarked.
Ignoring the entire family, he made a beeline for Thea.
His face split into a wide grin.
Chapter 55
"Jamie." Thea strode forward, taking his hand. She looked apologetic.
“I’m sorry for what I said last night. I might have been too harsh with my words.Where did you go?”
"I was at Henry's."
"How dare you show up, you worthless b*stard?”
Tommy approached with his nose in the air, looking at James with contempt.He then glanced at the car with no license plate.It was a multi-purpose vehicle featuring a logo he had never seen before.
Dismissively, he said, "You're not thinking of driving this to the military region, are you? It’s so embarrassing.And you…”
He pointed at David.
“Look at your car! You're an embarrassment to us!”
Howard approached, studying David’s and James’ cars.
Coldly, he said, “How mortifying.You’d better not take these cars at all.Check if you could hitch a ride in someone else's car.If grandfather did not say that all family members must be present, I wouldn’t want you there at all.You'd only be an embarrassment.”
“All the cars are full.No one would have any space left.”
“Yeah.If you ask me, Benjamin and his family better stay behind.” Several family members chimed in.
Lex walked over, leaning on his cane.He took in Benjamin and his family, David's car worth only two hundred thousand dollars, and James’ car resembling a Lunar Peace.He frowned.
“I think you’d better stay behind.All the attendees are VIPs.You'll only embarrass us if you drive these cars.” Thea started to say,
“Grandfather…” James stopped her.
Smiling, he said, “We'll stay behind then, grandfather.”
“Jamie, what are you doing?” Thea looked resentful.
“Yeah, we'll stay behind and avoid being an embarrassment.” Gladys was happy to play along.
They would only be mocked if they followed.They might as well stay at home.
“Let’s go.” Lex entered the Brentley.
For the occasion, the Callahans had hired a team of drummers.
They started playing as the cars moved out.
The feet departed with much fanfare, attracting lots of attention.
As the public saw the banner, they came up with a commentary.
"This is so cool! How did the Callahans get an invitation to the Blithe King’s succession ceremony?”
“I heard Megan Callahan’sboyfriend, Colson Oswald, helped them get it."
"Isn't that Benjamin Callahan? Why isn't he going?"
"He's Lex Callahan's son after all.Even some of the relatives on patterns with Lex are invited.Why isn't Benjamin and his family going?"
“Let's not talk about it.Everyone knows he’s useless.” The voices kept coming.
“Good-for-nothing.” Gladys glared at Benjamin viciously.
Ever since she married him, she had always been looked down upon.
"Thea, do you want to go for the Blithe King's succession ceremony?” James looked at her.
Thea shook her head slightly, saying, “There'll be a live stream on the Internet anyway.Let's just watch it at home on TV.”
James took her hand.
"If you'd like to watch it in person, I'll take you.I could even get us VIP seats in the front row.” He pointed at his car.
“See this? It’s not an average vehicle.It's a special car from the Southern Plains, and there's only one person allowed to use it.I begged my superior to pull some strings so I could borrow it.Not even the Western Border Patrol would stop this car.”
“Really?” Thea looked disbelieving.
“Do you trust him?” David looked at James disdainfully.
“This is just a Lunar Shine.What’s so special about it?”
“Trash.The entire family is trash.My husband is trash, my son is unambitious, and my son-in-law is useless.” Gladys insulted the entire family.
“Come on, Thea.Let's go.” James lost his patience with the rest of the family, guiding Thea into the car.
Once he joined her in the car, he wound the window down.
Looking at Gladys just about to leave, he asked, "Mom, why don’t you come with us? It’s not like you’ll be doing anything else anyway.I've heard that all the rich and powerful families will be there.You've always wanted to get Thea a rich husband, right? This is a golden opportunity!”
“You’re right.” Gladys nodded, glaring at James.
"Guess you're smart enough to know Thea's out of your league.”
In the passenger seat, Thea fumed.
“What was that, James?” James smiled.
“If I didn't say that, would mom agree to come? Don’t worry.”
chapter 56 Gladys got into the car, but Benjamin and the others opted to go home, James raced toward the military region.
They caught up with the fleet of Callahan cars in no time.
James stopped rushing, tailing the cars leisurely.
The Callahans might have been a second rate family, but they were still reasonably wealthy.
Everyone in the family had a luxury car or two.
To help the Callahans keep up with appearances, Colson had also brought a luxury car fromhome to join the fleet.
The fleet of luxury cars was an extravagant display.
With more than ten cars in the fleet and the accompanying drums, it was a lively event indeed.
The banner preceding the fleet was the centerpiece of the display.
Every eye noticed it.
Many people recorded the scene and uploaded it on various platforms, making waves on social media.
"The Callahans are amazing.” "There were many important families in Cansington who missed out on an invitation, but notthe Callahans." "Ah, well, it's all thanks to Colson!" Everyone was talking about it.
Inside the Brentley, Lex smiled from ear to ear at the attention he was getting.
The other Callahans were feeling pleased with themselves too.
Attending the Blithe King's succession ceremony indicated that he approved of them.
Now, they were truly an upper-class family.
"Thank you, dear." Megan was over the moon.
She kissed Colson, who was driving, on the mouth.
He had borrowed a Firarre from his family.
He looked pleased with himself.
"I told you, Megan.
I won't let you down.
How's this for making your family proud?" "It's amazing." Megan was so emotional she almost burst intotears.
"However, dad mentioned that five million dollars isn't quite enough." 'TH inform grandfather later and get him to pay up."
"Megan, that’s not what I mean."
"Dear, you've been sucha great help.
How could we let you pay from your own pocket after this? Don't worry.
We still have a few million dollars in our account." Colson looked gratified.
The fleet of cars advanced cumbersomely.
The sounds of drums were so loud they were almost deafening.
Passers-by kept recording the scene with their phones.
Soon, they reached the military region.
The ceremony had not started yet.
Everyone was still waiting outside.
The attendees kept a low profile.
All of them were alone.
Just then, the sounds of drums and firecrackers rent the air.
It was ear-splitting.
Everyone turned toward the noise, noticing a fleet of cars with the one in the lead exhibiting a banner.
All those present were shocked at this display.
The fleet stopped outside the military region.
Lex disembarked, leaning on his cane.
His face was aglow with pride, feeling as if he had achieved some amazing feat.
The Callahans were finally an upper-class family.
He saw some important people and greeted them.
Even though the Callahans were a second-rate family, Lex still had some connections, distant as theywere.
"Zimmerman, it's you.
I see you've got an invitation as well.
It cost you a lot, eh?" "Aren't you the chairman of Sea and Sky Pharmaceuticals? Good day, Mister Smith.
I'm Lex Callahan from Eternality.
Recently, we've partnered up with Celestial Group." As soon as he arrived, Lex started greeting everyone he had met before, no matter how distant they were.
He even held the invitation sent by the Western Border Patrol in his hand, flaunting it.
All the other Callahans exited their cars as well, feeling like they were walking on air.
This was an important milestone for them.
Noticing the invitation Lex held, those in attendance adopted a different attitude.
"What? A special guest?"
They were all important people.
Chapter 57 They were familiar with the invitations. There were different types of invitations. The ones released to the public were usually standard spots, only allowingattendees to stand right at the back.
However, a special guest was different.
A special guest was entitled to a seat right in front!
Lex's special guest invitation shocked many.
"The Callahans are just a second-rate family.
How did they snag an invitation like this?" "No wonder they made a spectacle out of it.
The Callahans were invited as the Blithe King's special guest." There was a running commentary on the matter.
The Callahans must have been close to the Blithe King.
Otherwise, how would they have managed to secure this invitation? Those who were special guests werethe really important people.
It was simply not enough to be rich.
"Mister Callahan, it's you.
How have you been?" "Lex, my friend.
I haven't seen you in years.
You've never looked better." Upon seeing the invitation, plenty of important people greeted Lex personally.
Lex had never felt prouder as he noticed the big shots approaching him.
He felt like he finally belonged to the upper class.
Now, he enjoyed a connection with the big shots.
The Callahans were glowing with pride.
This was their moment.
James and Thea remained in the car at the end of the line.
Gladys regretted coming along.
If she knew this would happen, she would not have come.
With Lex enjoying the limelight so much, he would reward Megan.
"What a good boyfriend Megan's landed," she grumbled.
James said nothing.
He was waiting for everyone to enter.
The higher Lex climbed now, the harder he would fall later.
Alex was there as well.
He envied Lex for the special guest invitation.
It was all thanks to his granddaughter who married well.
He walked up to Lex, greeting him.
"How are you, Mister Callahan?" "Mister Yates..." Lex was surprised.
He hurricely stuck out his hand to shake Alex's.
Warmly, he said, "Mister Yates, I’m satisfied and happy with our partnership.
I hope that well always be able to work together." "Of course," Alex said.
"Oh, it’s my eightieth birthday in a few days.
If you have time, you're welcome to Lex did not even finish his sentence before Alex agreed.
"Of course.
I'll be there." "Callahan, old friend." Another voice rang out.
A man in his fifties approached.
It was Charles Bertrand, who was also at Rowena's villa last night.
He was the chairman of a big pharmaceutical company, second only to Celestial.
Having discovered who James was, he was slightly nervous now that he was meeting with Lex.
"Bertrand.
How are you?” The two men shook hands.
Lex felt extremely proud right then.
Once, they had treated him as invisible.
Now, they were fighting to talk to him.
He was so grateful to the Oswalds.
As soon as the Callahans noticed it, they fawned over Colson again.
"Mister Callahan! How are you?" Stefon Oswald was present as well, coming over to shake hands with Lex.
He did not expect that Lex knew the Blithe King, even managing to secure a special guest invitation.
Now was the time to get into Lex's good books.
"We should be family.
Should my son and Megan get engaged after the ceremony later?"
"Haha, I’d like that." Lex laughed.
He had never felt prouder in his life, feeling on top of the world.
The Callahans were finally an upper-class family.
Just then, the doors to the military region opened.
Soldiers clad in their uniforms approached, forming two lines.
A lieutenant walked out and said, "The ceremony will commence soon.
Chapter 58 The restructuring of the five armies was a major incident involving the five regions.
All keypersonnel of the five regions were required to attend.
This was supposed to be an internal matter not privy to the public,
However, since the Blithe king was takingover as the cominander in-chief of the five armies, they made an exception.
Some scats were made available to the public There were numbers printed on the invitation cards.
Each number corresponded with a seat at the venue.
As soon as they heard that they could enter, everyone consciously made way for Lex.
As he was a special guest, his seat would be at the forefront where the commanders ofthe other military regions would be.
A man of his stature should take the lead.
What was going on? Lex was slightly confused.
"Why are you still standing around, old mate? Go on!" Lex jerked out of his reverie as a voice called out to him.
What's going on? Should I be going in first? After pausing for a few seconds, he burst out laughing.
Tapping his dragon head cane on the ground, he walked toward the entrance under everyone's gaze with his head held high.
"I'm so envious." "After this, the Callahans would have made it."
"Within three years, the Callahans' assets would multiply.
I promise."
Everyone munibled under their breath.
Though the voices were soft, Lex still managed to hear them.
As a man who craved prestige and recognition, he felt proud and satisfied hearing what they said.
The other business moguls followed suit after Lex had made his way to the
WAL
ont, looking at all the millionaires.
They were dumbfounded.
What were the Callahans playing at? They were approaching in a car and honking the horn infront of so many soldiers.
Chapter 59
The lieutenant had just saluted Lex, so why did he throw Lex out the next second? The Callahans stared blankly when
they saw this, not knowing what to do.
“How dare you fake an invitation from the Blithe King? We’ll release you since you’re a first-time offender.Otherwise, you’ll
be executed,” the lieutenant said coldly.
Lex ignored his aching body.He stood up pitifully and looked at Stefon.
Loudly, he said “Stefon, help me.The Western Border Patrol delivered the invitation to us in person because of you..”
Stefon wanted to wash his hands clean of Lex as soon as he heard that Lex had a counterfeit invitation.
Immediately, he said “Don’t go making any accusations, Lex.What has your fake invitation got to do with me?”
Lex panicked, looking around for someone else to help him.His eyes landed on Colson, walking over to him pitifully.He
grabbed Colson’s hand and begged
“Colson, say something.Please help me..”
Colson panicked as well.How would he know what was going on? An idea came to him suddenly.
Hurriedly, he said “Grandfather, did you offend someone? I promise you that the invitation is genuine.You must have
offended someone important to get treated this way..”
“I-I didn’t..”
Lex was so anxious he almost cried.
“Ah, I know.The firecrackers must have made the Blithe King unhappy.Grandfather, didn’t I tell you to keep a low profile?
You wanted all the pomp instead,” Colson said while smacking his forehead.
Lex agreed with Colson.He regretted everything in that instant.
If he knew that this was going to happen, he would not have put on such a lavish display.
Those who wanted to cozy up to Lex earlier were now looking at him disdainfully.
At the end of the Callahans’ fleet.
James sat in the driver’s seat.
In the passenger seat, Thea glanced at James.She looked confused.
“Jamie, was this what you were referring to when you said we would see grandfather make a fool of himself? You knew
this was going to happen, didn’t you? What’s going on?”
James smiled.
“I wasn’t lying last night.I had my superior get in touch with certain people, which was why the Western Border Patrol sent
an invitation to the Callahans.Since someone else took credit for it, I called my superior again.I requested that the
Western Border Patrol invalidate the Callahans’ invitation..”
“Haha, great job, James! Excellent!”In the back seat, Gladys started cackling.Even though it was her father getting barred, she felt happy.She could not help but praise James.
“This stubborn old man believes anything anyone tells him.Hmph. What have the Oswalds got to do with this? Serves him right for disregarding my son-in-law’s efforts!” Thea was speechless. “Mom, that’s grandfather we’re talking about.How can you say that?” “So what? He’s just a stubborn old man.He’s always been biased toward Howard and John.What about your dad, eh? I’m pleased that he’s suffering.What are you going to do about it?” James smiled slightly.He turned and looked at Thea. “Thea, do you want to go for the Blithe King’s succession ceremony?” Huh?
Thea was stunned.
She asked “C-can we still go? The Callahans’ invitation is now void..”
James chuckled and tapped the steering wheel.
“Didn’t I tell you? This car belongs to a VIP.Let’s put it this way.My superior’s friend is the VIP’s driver.He’s not in
Cansington at the moment, so I begged my superior to let me drive the car.With this car, the Western Border Patrol would
definitely let us pass..”
“Are you sure?”
Thea was not sure she believed him.
“What are you waiting for? Go!”
Gladys believed James, hitting him on the head.
“Okay.”
James smiled and put the car into drive, honking the horn as he went. Beep!
Just as everyone witnessed Lex getting thrown out, a horn sounded from the end of the Callahans’ fleet.
A multi-purpose vehicle without a license plate appeared.
As soon as the car moved, Gladys wound the window down and poked her head out, looking at all the millionaires.
They were dumbfounded.
What were the Callahans playing at? They were approaching in a car and honking the horn in front of so many soldiers.
Were they planning on driving right into the military region?
Chapter 60
Lex regretted everything deeply.He regretted putting on such a lavish display,
even setting off firecrackers outside the military region.
Now that the higher-ups were unhappy, he lost the opportunity to attend the succession ceremony.
Just then, a horn sounded.
Lex saw James approaching in a car. And there he was, worried that he would not find a punching bag! Leaning on his cane, he approached the car.He tapped his cane on the ground angrily. “You worthless b*stard! Haven’t you done enough? Leave at once!”Beep.James looked at the scowling Lex and honked the horn, asking him to get out of the way. Gladys poked her head out.
“Dad, what are you doing? What happened? Why are you covered in dust? Oh yeah, James said that he can drive in.You’re not young anymore.Why don’t you hop in? We’ll take you inside..”
Lex fumed at what Gladys said.She did it on purpose, knowing that Lex would never believe what she said.
As he was egoistic, he would never enter the car either.
Tommy approached, roaring “James, you idiot.What are you doing? Get lost! Don’t you know where we are? How dare you bring the car over? Don’t get us involved in your mess..”
Howard made his way over to them, preparing to slap James.However, James wound his window up just in time.
“Jamie, stop it.Grandfather has offended the Blithe King.If we continue to cause trouble, what’ll happen to us?”
Thea was afraid. They were just outside the military region. Besides the Blithe King, there were still many other important people within. Beep beep!
James honked his horn again, signaling the Callahans to go away. They were blocking the car.
Gladys invited Lex to join them once more.
After Lex refused, she smiled.
“James, the stubborn old man isn’t getting in.I knew he wouldn’t.Let’s go in now.I’m warning you, you better make me proud this time.Otherwise, I will never forgive you..”
Everyone looked as if they were waiting for a drama to unfold.
The Callahans were hilarious.
First, they came up with a counterfeit invitation with a lavish display with drums and firecrackers to boot, afraid that no one would know of their accomplishment. Now, they wanted to drive into the military region.
Was the entire family fools? James was not about to knock Lex over with his car.He reversed slightly and went around Lex and the other Callahans. However, there was a queue in front of them. Beep beep.
James honked the horn again.
Gladys poked her head out, shouting “Are you blind? Can’t you see that this is a car? Get out of the way!”
The moguls glanced at each other.
Then, with mocking expressions, they parted and made way for James. “Trash..”
Lex was shaking in anger.He raised his cane, rushing over and striking the rear windshield hard.
However, the glass did not shatter.
Instead, Lex staggered backward and fell to the ground again. Some of the Callahans helped Lex up. Lex turned pale.
“Quick.Stop them.Don’t let him get us into trouble..”
The Callahans sprung into action at once.
They blocked James’ car, not letting him advance.
