Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 158

Xara could not understand this. How did James get to know General Highsmith?

Danny? An old friend from the orphanage?

“James, be honest with me. What’s your relationship with General Daniel Highsmith?” Xara asked.

James replied while munching on his food, “General Daniel Highsmith? I don’t know who that is. That guy earlier is a childhood friend of mine. We haven’t seen each other in years. Since we bumped into each other, we decided to have a meal together. Is he a general now?”

“You don’t know?” Xara was rather suspicious of James’ words.

General Highsmith seemed to obey James’ every command and acted according to his wishes.

James went on, “I don’t know. It’s been more than ten years since I was at the Southern Plains. This Daniel… Sorry, Danny. From what I know, this Danny guy went to the Western border. He never mentioned anything about being a general.”

James put his chopsticks down and looked at Xara. “He’s… a general?”

“Yes. Did you not watch the Blithe King’s succession ceremony? It’s been on replay these past few days.”

“F*ck…” James exclaimed. “Really? This kid’s a general now? Back in the day, he was just a nobody who looked up to me. This won’t do. I have to bring him back here and kiss his *ss. Oh, wait. I don’t have a phone. What should I do? I’ve lost this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich.”

James put on a face of regret.

Francis finally understood what was going on. He now knew why James was having a meal with General Highsmith.

It turned out Daniel used to be called Danny, and he seemed to have been acquainted with James since young.

However, that was many years ago.

Now, Daniel was a general, and he was having a meal with James as a token of their childhood. Now that he was a general, it was likely he no longer thought much of James.

Francis raised his head and said, “Xara, the Leland family is also very influential. We’re acquainted with General Highsmith. We’ve even requested his help in our business.”

He started bragging again. Eager to impress his crush, he boasted about his family’s influence and his earnings from his plant.

Hearing this, Xara began to feel a little repulsed.

However, being rich was indeed something worth boasting about.
