Chapter 163
The Almighty Dragon General
âThatâs right.â Lex nodded. âEven if those men only helped Thea because they owed someone else a
favor, theyâre still part of her network connections. If we establish a good relationship with those men, it
will surely benefit us. Do you know how much the Callahans have earned by cooperating with Celestial
Group? At least tens of millions.â
Lex took a drag on his cigarette.
âOnce Thea returns, weâll be able to expand our production. We can further cooperate with large
pharmaceutical groups such as Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals and establish
ourselves in Cansingtonâs commercial city. With this, the Callahans will surely rise⦠âLex grew
increasingly excited as he spoke. âBring Thea to me, no matter the cost.â The Callahans all had grim
faces. They did not want the back. Although with her, they had managed to establish stronger
connections with Celestial Group, she would take the helm of the Callahans once she came back. That
meant things might go against their interests.
It was a gateway for the Callahans to get richer, but what use was there being an influential family if
they themselves could not gain anything from it?
âGrandfather,â Tommy spoke. âTheaâs not coming back. I knelt before her last time. Gladys was even
more ruthless. She claimed that they would not return even if you personally went and kneeled before
her.â
Megan chimed in, âThatâs right, grandpa. Theyâre truly despicable. All these years, theyâve lived off the
Callahansâ resources. However, theyâre showing their true colors now that theyâre asked to contribute to
the family.â
âIâll pay them a visit once more.â Lex stood up. âPrepare the gifts.â Howard reluctantly complied.

Following that, Lex brought Howardâs family and headed to Theaâs residence
John and his family did not reside in the Callahan residence. Instead, they had gotten a small villa
nearby.
After preparing lunch, James sat on the balcony and smoked his cigarettes. Xara had skipped her
lunch.
She headed toward the balcony and saw James smoking his cigarettes. With a zipped smile, she
spoke, âJames, you donât have any influence among the Callahans. Why donât you divorce Thea?â
âHmm?â
James glanced at her. Xara blinked her big, round eyes. âWhy donât we get married after you get your
divorce?â
James smiled at her and said nothing. At that moment, the doorbell rang. David put down his cutlery
and answered the door. The moment he saw Lex, he froze. He hurriedly asked, âGrandfather, why are
you here? P-Please, come in.â David invited them into the house.
âMother, father, uncle Howard and grandpa are here.â Gladys put down her cutlery, her expression
grim. Lex made his way in with a smile on his aged face. âThea, grandpaâs here to see you.â Thea
hurriedly stood and greeted him, âGrandpa, please sit. Have you eaten? Let me grab you a plate.â
Lex laughed. âIâve already eaten, Thea. Itâs been a while. I hope youâre no longer angry. Come home
with me. Youâll be the chairman of Eternality.â âNo way.â
Gladys instantly retorted, âFather, stop wasting your time. Thea wonât ever go back. We wonât consider
your offer unless youâre willing to transfer fifty percent of the Groupâs shares to Benjamin.â
âWhat?â Tommy panicked and raised his voice. âFifty percent of the shares? The audacity!â
Howardâs expression was grim. âIâm warning you. Donât cross the line.â
Howardâs wife, Jolie, was anxious too. She hurriedly joined in, âFather, donât promise them anything.â
Lex waved them off and cut the conversation short.
He thought for a while before asking, âThea, if I give your family fifty percent of the shares, can you
bring glory to the Callahans? Can you turn the Callahans into a powerful and influential farnily?â âT-
Thatâsâ¦â
Thea was at a loss.
She never expected grandpa to agree to transfer fifty percent of the shares to them. Bringing glory to
the Callahans? Becoming an influential family? Was she capable of doing that?
She did not believe so.
Gladys, too, did not expect Lex to consider her demands.
She immediately added, âWell, of course. Do you know what influential people Thea has acquainted
herself with? This morning, she even went shopping in the commercial city with Ms. Lawson of
Longevity Pharmaceuticals.â Upon saying that, she shot Thea a look âThea, tell us you can bring glory
to the Callahans.â
â1â¦â Thea could not continue.
She was not confident.
She would be fine managing Eternality Group, but was she truly capable of leading the Callahans on
the path to glory?
âShe will.â
James, who had just finished his cigarette, approached them and said with a smile, âGrandpa, donât
you worry. Thea will surely lead the Callahans on the path to glory. The Xaviers of The Great Four have
fallen. The remaining three are not too far away. Not long, the Callahans would make their way in and
herome one of the Great Fourâ
