Chapter 317
The Almighty Dragon General
He was Augustus Xenos and a friend of Cyrus.
A friend⦠in Cyrusâ eyes.
To Augustus, Cyrus was a nobody.
If Cyrus had not said he would introduce a beautiful lady to him, he would not even have come.
âAugustus, Iâm not lying. My cousinâs strikingly beautiful. Although sheâs married, her husbandâs trash.
They havenât even slept on the same bed yet.â âI can vouch for that,â said David.
âItâs true that my sister hasnât slept with that useless James yet. However, many wealthy men are
chasing her. Do you know the Watsons? Zavier Watson is going after her too. Letâs not forget the
mysterious Mr. Caden. These are extremely wealthy men. They have sent us luxury cars and villas
worth hundreds of millions.â
What David was trying to say was obvious.
If you wished to pursue Thea, you had to prepare gifts equal in value to Mr. Watsonâs and Mr. Cadenâs.
At that moment, the door opened. James and Thea walked in. Everyone in the room stood up. Cyrus
hurriedly approached Thea and pulled her over to Augustusâ side. He then introduced him to her.
âThea, this is Augustus from the Xenoses. Their family is worth hundreds of billions.â
Upon witnessing Theaâs glamor, Augustus was immediately attracted to her.
He scrutinized her from head to toe.

Her features were refined; her hair was long and silky; her skin was fair and delicate; her figure was
curvaceous. Her entire body was alluring.
Mine⦠Mineâ¦
At that moment, his mind exclaimed.
However, he was composed on the outside. He gently nodded. âHmm⦠Not bad. She barely qualifies
to be my girlfriend.â
Saying that, he patted Cyrus on the shoulder. âNot bad, Cyrus. From today onward, my family will be
looking out for the Hills.â
Delighted, Cyrus hurriedly said, âThank you, Augustus.â He pointed at the chair and said, âHave a seat
here, Thea. Have a few drinks with Augustus.â
Theaâs face darkened.
She came because they were her family.
She did not expect Cyrus to invite a stranger and even make her accompany him for a drink.
Meanwhile, James grinned at Augustus and asked, âYou must be Augustus Xenos. May I know who
Zack and Washington Xenos are to you?â Augustus glanced at James. Seeing that he was dressed in
ordinary clothes, he looked at him with disdain. âTheyâre my cousins.â
âI see.â James smiled slightly. Then, he looked at thea, âHoney, since Mr. Augustus has taken a liking to
you, accompany him for a few drinks. Itâs too hot in here. Iâm going out for a walk.â
âJamesâ¦â
Thea called out.
However, James had turned to leave.
Thea frowned and muttered, âWhat the hell is he thinking?â
With a frustrated look, she took her seat.
With the number of people, she was not worried about Augustus doing anything inappropriate to her.
James walked out of the building.
He lit a cigarette and pulled out his phone to call Gavin. Scared out of his wits upon receiving Jamesâ
call, Gavin could not even hold his phone properly. He swiftly answered the phone. âG-General, what is
it? Can I help you?â
James said, âYou have Zackâs number, donât you? Give him a call and tell him Iâm at the Gastronome in
North Cansington. A guy from the Xenos called Augustus is demanding my wife accompany him for a
drink. Letâs get one thing straight. I charge an exorbitant price for this. A hundred million for a glass of
wine.â
Saying that, he hung up.
Then, he returned to the room.
Thea was seated beside Augustus. Generous and amicable, he opened bottles one after another and
poured wine into the empty glasses
He even poured one for Thea. He lifted the glass with a bright smile. âHereâs to our first meeting, Thea.
Cheers!â
âSorry, I donât drink.â
Just as she was declining his offer, James walked in and sat beside her. He said with a smile, Honey,
since Mr Augustus has taken a liking to you, how could you refuse his offer? The Xenoses are an
influential family and the representatives of North Cansington in the Five Provinces Business Alliance
Thereâs nothing to lose from getting acquainted with him.â
Wearing a smug look, he said, âHeâs right, Thea. I heard you opened a processing plant. With the
Xenoses looking out for you, thereâs nothing for you to worry about.â It would be rude of Thed to refuse
lurther, so she listed her class.
After that, Augustus kept pouring wine into her glass non-stop.
Though Thea did not want to drink, James, as well as the rest of the Hills, kept pushing her.
âN-No more⦠I canât drink anymore.â
After a few glasses, Theaâs cheeks were bright red.
âThea, this is Mr. Augustus weâre talking about. Stop thinking about yourself and consider the familyâs
interest.â
âThatâs right. If Mr. Augustus finds you satisfactory, you two can go and get a hotel room. With him
looking out for our family, weâll be rich!â The Hills chimed in.
Meanwhile, James leaned against a chair and remained silent. Augustus laughed. âHaha, thatâs right.
We can go and get a room after drinking. Iâll be looking out for you guys in the future. Weâll get rich
together!â
He glanced at Thea. Seeing her reddened cheeks, his heart raced.
