Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 197

He thought this would be the most glorious time of his life. He never expected it to be the most humiliating one instead.

Worse still, the owner of the Transgenerational Group, Scarlett, was asking them to compensate 30 billion dollars.

30 billion dollars?

It was an enormous amount that the Callahans simply could not afford.

“What exactly happened?”

Lex was furious and smashed the furniture and some antiques in the house into pieces.

There were dozens of people gathered in the huge villa, yet none of them spoke up.

Everyone knew that if they spoke while Lex was furious, they would only get themselves in trouble.

After venting his anger, Lex calmed down and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Gladys’ family and pleaded, “Gladys, you’re the only one capable of saving the Callahans now. Didn’t you say your niece is working in the Transgenerational Group? Didn’t she come with Ms. Brooks? You’re the only one who can help us now.”

“I…”

Gladys was on the fence.

Meanwhile, Thea sat on the sofa with an evidently unhappy expression. She muttered softly, “Grandpa, she’s the one who cheated with James.”

Bang!

Lex slammed his hands on the table.

Although he was already eighty years old, he was still relatively strong, and the table shook vigorously when he slammed on it.

“So what if they cheated? It’s nothing worth mentioning if we can get through this difficult time! Thea, call James to come back! Isn’t he cheating with Xara? Get him to come back and help us!”

“Grandpa…”

Thea almost teared up because of the suffocating pressure.

She was being forced to call James to avoid paying the 30 billion dollars.

“Grandpa, you’re the one who expelled him from the family. You should be the one to call him. I’m not shameless enough to go through with it.”

“Thea, you shouldn’t be so stubborn. We’re talking about the chairman of Transgenerational Group. It’s obvious that the Blithe King has an unusual relationship with her. She’s a really influential person that we can't afford to offend. We won’t even be able to scoop up a billion dollars, so how will we get thirty billion?”

The current Lex no longer had a glamorous look on his face.

He seemed to have lost his energy, and his face was pale.

“Grandpa is begging you.”

“I…”

Thea wanted to say something but stopped.

“Thea, maybe you should ask James to come back?” Gladys also persuaded her.

James stared at his phone.

He knew that Thea would be calling him soon.

Sure enough, it did not take long for Thea’s number to show on his screen.

He was immediately thrilled and looked at Henry proudly. “See, I told you I was right. The Callahans would surely come to beg me if they got into a crisis.”

“It was very unnecessary.” Henry was left speechless by his actions.

So much had happened, and so many people were involved just because of a conflict between a couple.

He even had the Blithe King show up to help.

James ignored Henry and answered the phone. He said casually, “Thea? I already told you the Department of Civil Affairs isn’t open. They won’t be able to process our divorce procedure.”

“J-James, could you come back to the Callahans’ villa to discuss…no, I mean… It’s not about the divorce.”

James pretended to be oblivious and asked, “What happened?”

“It’ll be hard to explain through the phone. You…you should come back first.”

“Okay. I’ll be there.”

James hung up the phone and said proudly, “I’m leaving, Henry!”
