The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 

James returned home. Before he could exit the elevator, his phone rang. It was Henry. 

“James, news from the Blithe King. He sent his men to deliver the Callahans their invitation.” 

“Okay.got it.” 

James hung up. 

He knocked on the door only to be greeted by Alyssa Myers, David’s wife.” Pathetic loser, are you not embarrassed enough to still come home” 

James walked past her, entering the house. As soon as he saw Thea on the couch, a smile bloomed across his face.

 “Thea, I already got people to send us an invitation.” 

Thea was in disbelief, as she asked, “Those are men from the Western Border Patrol. How did you get those guys?” 

James laughed. “Did you forget that I was a soldier? I have some connections in the military higher-ups.” 

“But your resume said you served in the Southern Plains. What does the South have to do with the army at the West?” 

James explained, “We aren’t related directly, but my ex-superior has ties with a big shot at the western border. Anyways, I managed to get the invitation for the Callahans.” 

Gladys, Benjamin, and David were also in the house Gladys could not believe him. She questioned him snarkily, “Relying on connections, you? Although you served for a decade, you were a mere soldier. What connections could you possibly have? James, I’m warning you, don’t trick Thea just because she is naive. You can’t trick me. Thea, you have to be smarter. Why are you trusting this fool? All he has is some medicinal knowledge. He isn’t rich or powerful.” 

James was already used to Gladys’s degrading remarks. He marched straight toward Thea.
