There were many fully-armed soldiers and a high-ranking lieutenant at the military region’s entrance.
However, all of them stood ramrod-straight, not moving a muscle.
The lieutenant did not take any action. Instead, he walked off to the side and made a phone call quietly. In a hushed voice, he said, “Sir, I’ve thrown Lex Callahan out, but the Black Dragon’s car is here. The Callahans are blocking his way. They don’t seem to know James’ true identity. What should I do now?”
“Just do your job. Ignore the rest.”
“Yes, sir.”
After speaking to the Blithe King, he continued to wait at the entrance. He did not check the invitations either.
In the face of the Callahans’ insults, James was speechless. What is it to you if I drive in?
He wound down the window and craned his head out, looking at the scowling Callahans. Some of them had even climbed onto the bonnet. In a resigned tone, he said, “Hey, what are you doing? Just because you can’t get in doesn’t mean that I can’t get in. Where’s the rule that says no one can drive in?”
Just then, a car approached.
The license plate was CAN00001.
As soon as they saw the car, the Callahans stood aside. The soldiers at the entrance saluted and allowed the car to pass.
Seeing this, James pointed to the car, saying, “See? That’s a car.”
“James, are you stupid?” Sitting on the bonnet, Tommy shouted viciously. “That’s the mayor’s car. Who do you think you are? Get out now.”
Gladys was slightly shaken. Quietly, she asked, “James, are you sure this will work?”
Confidently, James said, “Don’t worry, mom. I’ll make you proud. I promise we’ll be able to drive in. If I fail, I’ll divorce Thea.”
“How dare you,” Thea bit out.
Gladys regained her confidence.
