Chapter 202
The Almighty Dragon General
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 had 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 all happened because of a son-in-law of the Callahans, who used to be the
vice-captain of North Cansingtonâs police force.
Someone from the Cadens had been working as the secretary of a general of North Cansingtonâs
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 Callahansâ banquet. As
such, they were now once again made a laughing stock.
âHuh.â
âI thought the time had come for the Callahans, yet it turns out it was just a front.â âNow that the
Callahans have offended the Blithe King and Scarlett Brooks, itâs over for them. Not even Thea can
save them.â
Though the matter had been resolved, everyone was still discussing it. Meanwhile, James had nothing
to do, so he became the house-husband of the Callahans.
Thea, on the other hand, was busy with the companyâs affairs. In the blink of an eye, a few days had
passed. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival â a day of reunion.
The Callahans were busy making preparations for the banquet. Today was also the day of the Cadensâ
memorial.
More importantly, today was the deadline James had set for the culprits of his past.

He had instructed the culprits from ten years ago to kneel for ten days and commit suicide on this day.
However, not a single one of them showed up. He then put out the word, calling for the culprits to
gather at the Cadensâ cemetery to settle the feud.
It was morning
James woke up. Adjusting his tie, Thea reminded him, âTodayâs the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of
reunion. Watch your words at the family banquet. I wonât be able to help you if you anger grandpa.â
âDarling, I feel uncomfortable wearing this suit,â James said.
âMaybe I shouldnât go. If I go, Iâll only embarrass you in front of everyone. Iâll just stay home and eat
some instant noodles.â
Theaâs face darkened. âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Youâre my husband. Todayâs the Mid -
Autumn Festival, and youâre a member of the Callahans. How can you not go?â At that moment, the
door opened. Walking in, Gladys overheard their conversation. She immediately said, âYouâre not that
dense, after all. At least youâre aware that your presence will only embarrass Thea.â
âThen I wonât be going, Gladys. Thea has finally become the chairman. If I go and somehow offend
grandpa and the other Callahans, theyâll pick on Thea again. I should only go to the Callahan residence
after Theaâs position as chairman has been secured.â
âThea, what are you dilly-dallying for? You know grandpa doesnât like people being late.â Tommy
walked in. âIf James doesnât want to go, let him be.â
He took a few hundred dollars and handed it to James. âTodayâs the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since youâre
not going to the Callahans, at least treat yourself to a good meal.â
âThanks.â James took the money, his face full of gratitude.
Thea frowned. âAre you really not going?â
âThea, Iâll only embarrass you if I go. I donât want to humiliate you in front of your family. Youâre the
chairman now, after all.â
Thea contemplated for a while and said, âFine. Iâll be back early. Weâll have a meal together to make up
for it.â
âThanks, darling,â James said, smiling,
Thea sighed in resignation. Though she had arranged a job for James, he had offended many people
on his first day. Those people had even launched a formal complaint.
She had no choice but to send James home.
The moment the Callahans left, the smile on Jamesâ face vanished, only to be replaced by a grim
expression
He had a murderous look on his darkened face.
He pulled his phone out and called Henry. âHenry, whatâs the situation?â
âJames, Iâve been waiting for your call. Iâve been keeping an eye on the cemetery. Todayâs the day of
the burial of the leaders of the Great Four, and theyâve chosen a tomb near the Cadensâ cemetery.
Besides the core members of the Great Four, the likes of Dawson, Nine Fingers, and the underworld
forces of Cansington have gathered in the suburbs. They number in tens of thousands.â
