Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 166

Slap!

Gladys smacked James on the head. “Watch your tongue. What makes you think you have the right to speak at the family meeting?” She reprimanded him.

“Alright, that settles it.” Lex laughed heartily.

To set the Callahans up at the Trade City Center was something unthinkable to him. That place was the future Glochaibal Financial Center. As such, businesses from Cansington were not the only ones seeking to establish themselves there. All large corporations nationwide would eventually make their way there.

If the Callahans managed to set up shop there, it would be a symbol of prestige. Lex could not care less about the hundred million entrance fee.

“Grandpa, I…” Thea was hesitant.

However, seeing Lex’s delighted face, she did not want to disappoint him. She hung her head. “I-I’ll try.”

“Chairman, you now carry the hopes and dreams of the Callahans.”

“You have to get us the right to set up shop.”

“Worry not, chairman. As long as you succeed in your negotiations, we’ll find a way to get money, no matter the rental cost.”

“That’s right. But if you fail, that’ll mean you’re unqualified to be the chairman.”

The Callahans chitter-chattered.

Though they seemed to be currying favor, they were actually ridiculing her.

Thea knew they wanted to see her make a fool out of herself.

“Haha. We’ll join our efforts and bring the Callahans to greater heights. Dismissed.” Lex stood up and headed upstairs, laughing heartily.

Thea stood and glared at James.

“James, are you just looking for trouble?” David exclaimed, wearing a murderous look on his face.

Tommy let loose a laugh. “Good luck, Thea. It isn’t easy to start a business at the Trade City Center. I’m afraid being the chairman isn’t exactly all fun and games.”

“Thea, I heard that even someone like Alex Yates has to play nice during the process. I’m afraid he can’t help you out this time around.”
