The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 176NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Henry was asleep in a room in Common Clinic.

Sensing movement, he immediately got up and switched on the lights.

He could see James walking in.

"James, what brings you here?"

James locked at Henry dejectedly. "I fought with Thea."

"Huh? What happened?" Henry was confused.

James sighed deeply.

Henry passed him a cigarette.

James accepted it.

Henry lit the cigarette.

James took a deep breath. "Nothing much. Just a little misunderstanding."

He recounted what happened to Henry.

"Hahaha!"

Henry could not restrain his laughter. "That's hilarious! The General of the Southern Plains driven out of the Callahans' residence?"

Noticing James' grim expression, he instantly held his tongue. With a serious look, he said,* James, I can help if you need me to kill someone. But, something like this? I'm helpless."

Jarnes lightly waved him off, "I'm not expecting you to help me. I'll explain things to Thea when she calms down."

"You'll be sleeping here tonight?"

"Yes. We'll have a good drink while we're at it."

They left Common Clinic, and James brought Henry to a barbecue restaurant by the roads. They ordered some lamb kebab and some beer.

At the Callahans, Thea was in tears, crying herself to sleep.

She woke up early the next day.

Having just taken over Eternality Group, she had to attend to important matters. Besides, she needed to prepare the relevant documents for the application to set up shop at the Trade City Center.

The Transgenerational City Center was not open for business investment yet. Even the few large corporations who had set up shop in advance only qualified by a hair's breadth. Meanwhile, smaller businesses would have to wait for the official opening of the investment project to submit their application letters.

"Thea."

Gladys approached Thea the moment she stepped out of her room. "Get your divorce with James done as soon as possible. I've found you a guy from a rich family. He's young and wealthy. He's definitely worthy of you. If you think I have bad taste, look for one yourself. Bryan from The Gourmand is a pretty good pick."

"We'll see."

Thea was absent-minded.

She wanted to go to the company.

However, she first needed to go to the Department of Civil Affairs to deal with the divorce proceedings with James.

On the way there, she called James.

James got dead drunk last night.

He was still sleeping when his phone rang.

With his eyes closed, he searched for his phone by the bed and answered the call. "W-Who's this?"

"Nine o'clock. In front of the Department of Civil Affairs."

Hearing Thea's voice, James was jolted awake. Refreshed, he got up.

"Thea..."

Beep!

Before he could speak, Thea hung up the phone.

James sat on the bed in a daze for a few seconds before drop-kicking Henry, who was still asleep.

Henry instantly woke up.

He rubbed his eyes. "What's wrong, Jarnes?

"Thea wants to meet me in front of the Department of Civil Affairs at nine o'clock. What should I do?"

"..." Being put in a difficult position, Henry was at a loss. "James, how am I supposed to know? I've never been in a relationship, let alone been married or divorced."

"Think of something."

"..."

Henry wore a perplexed look on his face.

Immediately, he said, "I-I'll call Scarlett. She's a woman. She should know what to do."

James looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock.

He kicked Henry. "Why are you still dilly-dallying, then? Go on and call her!"

"Okay."

Henry pulled his phone out and called Scarlett.

Scarlett had been busy at work at Transgenerational Group till three o'clock in the moming. When she received Henry's call, she had just arrived at the company for the day.

Upon hearing Henry recount James' story, she answered that she could not do anything to

help.

"Henry, what do I know? I've never been in a relationship. There's no way I'd understand matters of marriage and divorce."

Both Scarlett and Henry could do nothing. After hanging up the phone, Henry looked at James innocently. "J-James, Scarlett doesn't know what to do either."

"Then, what should we do now? James was starting to worry

An idea flashed across Henry's mind. He suggested, "W-What if we give the Blithe King a call? We'll ask him to stall for time by putting the divorce proceedings on hold and wait for a

few days."

"Not bad."

James brightened up.

He immediately called the Blithe King.

At present, the Blithe King had important matters to attend to. Upon seeing James' call, his face darkened. He answered the phone.

With a surly expression, he asked, "What do you want from me so early in the morning, Black Dragon?"

James' laugh sounded from the phone. "Nothing much. Just needed a little assistance from you. My wife wants a divorce. Could you help me put the divorce proceedings on hold?"

"Don't push it."

The Blithe King was glaring.

He was the Blithe King, general of the Westem border and commander-in-chief of the five armies. Yet now, he was being told to play petty tricks over a couple's divorce?
