Chapter 425
The Almighty Dragon General
She asked, âGrandpa, howâs Eternality doing at the moment?â
Lex raised his eyebrow and glanced at her.
âWhat? You dare ask? You humiliated the Watsons, and now theyâre targeting us. Celestial Group and
Longevity Pharmaceuticals have already terminated their contracts with us. Not only that, theyâre now
suing us by saying there are quality concerns with our products. Eternality has been sealed off. The
banks are demanding we repay our loans. All businesses under the Callahans have stopped. We now
owe hundreds of millions of dollars.â
Hearing this, Theaâs face darkened. She never expected the situation to be so grim.
âWhat should we do now?â
Lex looked at the crowd.
They had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.

For decades, Lex had strived to make the Callahans a well-to-do family. Yet, after finally accumulating
billions of dollars worth of assets, they had lost everything.
He was eighty years of age. He was tired.
He no longer wanted to care.
He had summoned everyone to figure out a solution. If none could be found, he would declare
bankruptcy.
Everyone remained silent.
The Watsons were all on the move.
Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals were on the Watsonsâ side.
It would be impossible for the Callahans to stand against their combined forces.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lex took a deep breath. Then, he stood up while leaning on his cane.
âSince no one has any ideas, weâll declare bankruptcy. Iâm old. Itâs time I rest. Youâre all free to do as
you wish.â
Lex did not rebuke Thea.
He knew it would amount to nothing.
This was fate. It was preordained.
It was the Callahansâ fate.
âIâm old. Iâm getting oldâ¦â. Supporting himself with his cane, Lex headed upstairs. In that instant, he
seemed to have aged even more. Upon witnessing this scene, James frowned.
All this while, he thought of Lex as an imposing and commanding man. Even though he was eighty
years of age, there was this vitality within him. He had this pioneering spirit that made him look young
and energetic.
However, all of that energy had disappeared in an instant.
Now, he was just an old man nearing the end of his life.
âThereâs still hope.â
James spoke.
His voice was loud and clear.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Lex stopped in his tracks and turned.
James saw in Lexâs eyes a glimmer of hope. Thea gently pulled at James, hinting at him to stop. The
Callahans were now in dire straits. Eternality had been sealed off. Their capital chain was broken. They
were in a lot of debt. What hope was he talking about? Under everyoneâs watchful gaze
James continued, âFrom what Iâve heard, the Transgenerational Group has an investment company as
its subsidiary. We can draw investments from them. As long as theyâre willing to invest in us, Eternality
will be able to avert this crisis.â
Upon hearing this, Lexâs hopes were dashed. Howard stared at James coldly and said, âSo what if you
know about this? Now that Eternality has been sealed off and we shoulder hundreds of millions worth
of debt, why would Transgenerational invest in us?â
John mocked, âKid, do you have any idea what situation Eternalityâs in right now? We need at least five
hundred million to kickstart everything. Besides, Eternality currently has no prospects. Why would
anyone invest hundreds of millions in us?â âTrash will always be trash. Stop running your mouth if you
donât know anything about investment.â
âIf not for this piece of trash, Thea wouldnât have broken off her engagement. The Callahans wouldnât
have to suffer such consequences.â
The moment James spoke, the Callahans went into an enraged frenzy. They blamed everything on
him.
âIf I say itâs possible, itâs possible.â
James continued nonchalantly, âAfter all, how do we know it wonât work if we donât at least try?â
âAlright.â
Lex stared at James and said, âJames, if you can draw investment from Transgenerational and
revive the business operations of the Callahans, I promise you this. From today onward, no one else
will ever demand you to divorce Thea. I, Lex Callahan, will officially acknowledge you as my grandson-
in-law.â âIâll try.â James nodded. Theaâs face darkened. 2
James was being overly ambitious again.
There was no way to save the Callahansâ businesses. They would need at least hundreds of millions.
Before any investment company invested, they would launch a series of investigations and conduct a
risk evaluation. They would gain no returns if they invested in the Callahans. Unless, of course, they
took over Eternality with hundreds of millions.
