Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 67

“There’s wine and cigars. Benjamin, sell them to the kiosks outside our area tomorrow. Let’s see how much we can get for them.”

Benjamin, who had been silent all this time, answered his agreement.

“Mom, is this necessary? We’re family. Why make things so awkward?” Thea asked in a small voice.

“What do you know?” Gladys shouted. “I’ve had enough. This is excellent! Now, I don’t have to play by their rules anymore. And David, you’d better buck up. Forget about your job at Eternality and get a new job. We’ll be fine without the Callahans.”

“Okay,” David answered quietly, hanging his head.

James yawned.

He had not slept a wink after all the excitement last night.

“Thea, I’ll be taking a nap in our room.”

Thea waved her hand. “Go on.”

After that, she took her phone out and watched the live stream of the Blithe King’s succession ceremony.

James entered Thea’s room.

He had been staying in her room for a while now, but he had always slept on the floor. Instinctively, he reached for the mat inside their wardrobe, but since Thea was outside and would not be using the room, he fell onto the bed without further thought.

At the Callahans’ villa.

Pitifully, the Callahans returned.

Lex started smoking.

All the other family members looked furious. They blamed Benjamin, insulted Gladys, and made ill remarks about the family.

“Enough!” Lex roared.

Everyone shut up immediately.

“Yes, dad. I’ll do as you say.” Howard nodded, happy as a lark.

With thirty million dollars available for the banquet, he could sneak a few million into his own account. No one would be the wiser.

“Alright, that’s all.” Lex waved an arm, getting to his feet and heading upstairs.

After he left, the rest of the Callahans came together.

Quietly, John said, “Bro, with dad giving Benjamin twenty percent of the shares and making Thea executive chairman, I think he’s grooming her to be his heir.”

Howard glanced at him. “What are you saying, John?”

John said, “I’m worried for you, bro. As the eldest son, you should be the heir. At dad’s age, he hasn’t got much time left. If he dies, won’t all our assets go to Thea?”

Howard waved his hand, saying, “John, this is dad’s decision to make. We should support him instead of going against him. As for who’s the heir, dad has the final say, got it?”

“Got it. I might have overreacted.”
