Chapter 157
The Almighty Dragon General
Xara glanced at James and seated herself. âA-Are you General Highsmith?â Xaraâs eyes gleamed.
Daniel looked at James. James laughed. âXara, his nameâs Danny. Heâs not a general.â âH-Heâs right.â
Daniel quickly nodded in agreement. âMiss⦠Xara, was it? Iâm not a general. My nameâs Danielâ¦
Sorry, Danny. I just look similar to Daniel.â He stumbled over his words.
Hearing this, Zara let loose a hearty laugh. She did not expect the majestic-looking General on TV to
have such a cute side to him. She knew that the person before her was indeed General Highsmith. She
had watched the Blithe kingâs succession ceremony countless times. There was no way that she could
mistake him for someone else.
No way. He had to be Daniel.
Danny? Seriously?â
âGeneral Highsmith, I really look up to you. C-Can I get a picture with you?â Xara blushed as she
summoned the courage to ask him for a favor.
âUhm?â Daniel glanced at James.
James said with a smile, âFeel free. It doesnât cost you a lot.â
Daniel nodded in agreement. âT-Then, letâs take a photo.â Xara was delighted. She headed toward
Daniel and sat next to him, though she was careful not to get too close. She quickly took her phone out
and took a selfie. However, one was not enough. She got closer â so close their bodies were almost
touching. She held up a peace sign and snapped another picture.
Snap! Snap! Snap! She alternated between different poses as she snapped over a dozen more
photos.
Meanwhile, James was only concerned with eating.

He was famished after skipping breakfast.
After having taken so many photos, Xara was satisfied. With red cheeks, she said, âGeneral Highsmith,
thank you so much. Youâre my idol, so Iâm really excited to see you. I hope you donât mind all the
photos.â
âHaha, itâs alrightâ¦â Daniel laughed awkwardly. âDanny⦠Are you not eating? If you arenât, then leave.â
âOh, okay.â
Daniel, as if granted amnesty, quickly stood up and left.
âHeyâ¦â
Xara called out.
However, Daniel had already left.
âJames, w-what are you doing? That was General Highsmith! Heâs my idol. How could you make him
leave?â
As she spoke, her expression changed. âWait. You can order General Daniel Highsmith around?â
James replied, âDaniel? Iâve told you. Heâs Danny. Also, why do you keep calling him a general?â
Xara seated herself and glanced at James.
Her useless brother-in-law was enshrouded in secrecy. She remembered Daniel had given James a
scarcely perceptible smile back then at the airport. âJames, are you one of the Five Commanders?â
Xara exclaimed.
Few knew much about the Five Commanders, let alone their existence. However, she knew bits and
pieces about them, as she was a military fan.
Daniel was the Blithe Kingâs subordinate. Even though James was not the Blithe King, he had authority
over Daniel. Therefore, he had to be one of the Five Commanders.
âHuh?â
James was at a loss for words. This girl had a keen eye. She had figured out his identity as one of the
Five Commanders just from the meeting with Daniel
âYes,â James said, smiling. âThatâs right. Iâm one of the Five Commanders.â Francis, who had been
concealing himself, walked toward them upon noticing that Daniel had left.
He sat at Danielâs seat and shot James a look of displeasure. âPfft! If youâre one of the Five
Commanders, then Iâm the Emperor of the Capital!â Xara immediately lost interest in the conversation.
She had long heard of Jamesâ past. He had retired from the army, but how was he one of the Five
Commanders?
Also, why would one of the Five Commanders marry into the Callahans?
