Chapter 178
“What’s going on? Wasn’t everything fine just now?” “Today is my and girlfriend’s shared birthday. We were planning to get our
marriage certificate today. What happened?” Many people complained as they left the Department of Civil Affairs.
Meanwhile, James was ecstatic.
It was a feeling happier than winning a battle. He walked to the roadside and got into Henry’s car. “Let’s go, Henry.” “Where are
you going next, James? The House of Royals or the clinic?” James yawned. “To the clinic. I need to take a nap.” He had drank
until very late the previous night and was still a little drowsy.
“Alright.”
Henry drove to Common Clinic. Unable to get a divorce, Thea headed to the company to continue dealing with company affairs
James slept until noon.
Outside Common Clinic, Nine Dragons Street-food stall. James put one foot on a bench and nibbled on a chicken wing. “Henry,
simply delaying the divorce isn’t going to do. You have to help me come up with something.”
“What can I come up with?”
‘I’m not a relationship expert either.’ Henry was depressed,
A thought suddenly popped into Henry’s mind. “Oh right!
“James, isn’t it going to be Lex’s eightieth birthday soon? How about you do something to make him look good during his
birthday party? He will finally acknowledge you if he is pleased. I’ve heard that Thea prioritizes the opinions of her family the
most. Thus, if Lex refuses to let her get a divorce, she’ll surely listen to him.”
James’ eyes lit up, and he slammed the table. “Great idea! You’re the best friend ever! You’ve solved all my problems! Now,
hurry and tell me, how am I going to make Lex happy?”
“The Callahans are very egoistic people. They will surely be pleased to have the Blithe King at Lex’s eightieth birthday party.
When they find out you were the one who invited the Blithe King, they’ll definitely look at you with high regard!” Henry said
enthusiastically.

Jarnes nodded his head. “That does make sense.
“However, I just want to live peacefully and don’t want everyone in the world to know of my identity. Everyone would look at me
respectfully and with admiration when I’m outside if word spread. Wouldn’t that be counteractive?”
“Well...I can’t help with that.” Henry shook his head, picked up his chopsticks, and focused on eating. James continued to think
hard about how to boost Lex’s ego without revealing his identity as the Black Dragon.
“I’ve got an idea!”
A plan flashed across his mind. “I’ll use the identity of the Cadens!” “Huh?” Henry glanced at James.
“Apart from being the Black Dragon, I’m also a member of the Cadens. Ten years ago, the Cadens were the number one
household in Cansington. There was no such thing as the Great Four in the past. My grandfather had wide connections
everywhere, so if I use my identity as a member of the Cadens, the Callahans will surely be pleased. At the same time, I can
also reveal to Thea my identity as the ghost – masked man that saved her,” said James.
“You have to rethink that plan, James. You’re going to be settling your grievances with the Great Four in a few days. Even though
it might not be a bloodbath, you’ll still end up killing a lot of people. Do you think Thea would still want to be with you if she finds
out that there is blood on your hands?” Henry dissuaded him. James nodded.
“True. This won’t work, but what else can I do?” Henry shook his head. Out of these two people, one was the Commander of the
Southern Plains, who carried five stars on his shoulders. The other was a one-star General of the Southern Plains. These two
had never panicked in the face of thousands of enemy troops, yet they were in deep water because of Thea. James was willing
to do his best for Thea. After lunch, he headed directly to the Callahans’ villa. He rang the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was Lex’s granddaughter, Megan. She immediately crossed her arms when she saw James
and said condescendingly, “I was wondering who it was. It turns out it’s James, the person who lives off the Callahans. What’s
up? What are you doing here?” James came to see Lex and refused to waste time with Megan’s nonsense.
