After hearing James’ words, Lex exclaimed in surprise, and his body trembled.
“What…”
This was something that he had never dared to imagine before.
“Is this real, James?”
The people gathered at the door were unaware of what happened, and they glanced at Lex, puzzled by his reaction.
“Granpa, let’s talk over there.”
James pulled Lex away and reassured him, “Grandpa, I swear what I’ve said is true. I’ve already made arrangements. You can hold your birthday party at the House of Royals if you’d like, Grandpa. Holding your eightieth birthday there will be the first step of the Callahans becoming an influential family when the news spreads throughout Cansington.”
After a momentary excitement, Lex calmed down.
He glanced at James.
“Do you know what kind of place is the House of Royals, James?
“It’s been built for years, and countless wealthy families have tried to purchase it. Some even wanted to buy it for billions of dollars, but there was no channel to purchase it. Now, you’re telling me I can hold my birthday celebration at the House of Royals?”
“Yes.”
James wore a very sincere expression.
“Who do you think you are?”
“Grandpa, I’ll be honest with you. I was actually a general in the Southern Plains. However, I made a mistake and had to go to military court. The House of Royals is owned by the Commander of the Southern Plains, the Black Dragon. The place was awarded to him, and since the Black Dragon is far away in the Southern Plains…”
James repeated the same story that he did to Thea again.
“Although I was expelled from the military and can never return, the commander has been looking out for me. I’ve already called the commander and got his permission.”
“Y-you’re a general?”
