The Almighty Dragon General 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.

Whats your relationship with General Daniel Highsmith? Xara asked.

James replied while munching on his food, General Daniel Highsmith? I dont know who that is.

That guy earlier is a childhood friend of mine.

We havent seen each other in years.

Since we bumped into each other, we decided to have a meal together.

Is he a general now? You dont 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 dont know.

Its 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.

Hes… a general? Yes.

Did you not watch the Blithe Kings succession ceremony? Its been on replay these past few days.

F*ck… James exclaimed.

Really? This kids a general now? Back in the day, he was just a nobody who looked up to me.

This wont do.

I have to bring him back here and kiss his ss.

Oh, wait.

I dont have a phone.

What should I do? Ive 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.

Were acquainted with General Highsmith.

Weve even requested his help in our business.

He started bragging again.

Eager to impress his crush, he boasted about his familys 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.

Compared to his peers, Francis was a capable man.

At least, he was much more competent than Xaras brother-in-law.

She glanced at James.

Marrying into the Callahans, unemployed, and using the resources of the Callahans as he pleased, he was a useless piece of trash.

However, her opinion of him had changed after finding out he used to be in the military and that he knew Daniel.

Im full.

James wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Suddenly, he remembered.

Who would pay the bill now that Daniel had left? Glancing at the still-boasting Francis, he laughed.

Since youre such a wealthy man, Mr.

Leland, I hope you wouldnt mind paying the bill? As he spoke, he pulled Xara away.

Xara, Thea ordered me to bring you home safely.

Now that weve had our meal, lets leave.

Okay.

Xara nodded.

James, what are you doing? Francis rebuked him all of a sudden.

He had waited for Xarato come to Cansington and had finally gotten the opportunity to have a meal with her.

He would not let her go so easily.

He had planned to bring her shopping in his mall to impress her by flaunting his wealth.

Huh? James frowned and asked, What? Francis pointed at James hand and exclaimed, Hands off.

Shes my girl.

James glanced at Xara.

Xara looked at Francis with a tint of displeasure.

Francis, when did I ever say I was your girl? Francis tone immediately softened.

Xara, look at what Ive got.

Are you still hesitating? Once you become my girlfriend, you wont have to work anymore.

You wont have to worry about food and clothing, and you can buy anything you want.

Dont you want that? No, Xara replied curtly, I have a perfectly functioning body of my own.

I can feed myself.
