The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 955
Thea realized that Celestial, Longevity, and other large groups' declaration about leaving the industry caused a series of chain
reactions that in turn affected the Callahans’ company, Eternality.
Thea and James did not linger a second longer and left posthaste.
Soon, they arrived at Callahans’ villa.It was early in the morning, but almost all Callahans’ family members were gathered in the
villa.
The air was thick with worry and uncertainty.
Thea and James hurriedly walked over to them.
The Callahans quickly grasped at their lifeline.
"Thea, you're finally back!"
"Thea, the Callahans need you to take charge and save us from this situation."
The Callahans stepped forward and began bombarding Thea with their desperate pleas and demands.
Meanwhile, James was completely ignored.
Thea asked, "Grandpa, is it true that Celestial, Longevity, and other major groups have announced their withdrawal from
Cansington and the pharmaceutical industry? Did you call me me because the Callahans were affected by this sudden shake-
up?"
"There’s more to it."
Lex sighed despondently.
"You should sit down first."
Thea walked over and sat down.
James followed along and also tried to find somewhere to sit.

Unfortunately, there was no available space on the sofa.
Thea looked at Megan and hissed demandingly.
"Make space for James."
"Why should I...?"
Megan parted her lips to refuse Thea’s demand but noticed Lex’s displeased expression.She quickly stood up and glanced at
James beside her.
Gesturing at the seat, she said with gritted teeth, "For you."
James quickly sat down.
Lex finally started explaining the situation, "I don’t know what kind of methods the Centennial Corporation employed, but they
managed to persuade major pharmaceutical corporations in Cansington to sell their companies so that they can merge with
Centennial.At the same time, the families of these corporations have announced their permanent withdrawal from the
pharmaceutical industry."
"They bought over all these companies in just one night?"
James was taken aback by the news.
These were leading corporations in the pharmaceutical industry.It would take an astronomical figure to acquire all of them.
"That’s right." Lex heaved heavily.
"Representatives from Centennial Corporation showed up at our villa this morning and gave us two options.We either disband
Eternality, withdraw from the pharmaceutical industry and receive compensation of one million dollars, or continue operations
under Centennial Corporation's continuous and relentless interference." Several major corporations had already been dissolved
by their former chairpersons and acquired by Centennial Corporation.
However, this was not the main concern of the Callahans.
The Callahans were panicking over the fact that Centennial Corporation requested them to simply dissolve their company.
They had already invested too much money into the company to simply comply with such a ludicrous demand.

It had only been less than a month since they started large-scale development and began medicinal research.
More than one billion dollars had been invested throughout this period.
Yet, Centennial only offered one million as compensation for dissolving Eternality.
"What should we do, Thea?"
Lex looked at Thea worriedly.
"Centennial Corporation is a gigantic group that has developed rapidly in the mere span of a month.Now that it has acquired
Celestial, Longevity, Purity, Abundant, and other major corporations, they’ve all but completely monopolized the pharmaceutical
industry.A small business like us won't be able to retaliate against them."
Thea’s expression was grim.Her lips were pulled into a thin line.She looked at James sitting beside her and turned to him.
"Honey, is there anything we can do?"
James shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Why are you asking me? The Callahans’ problems aren’t mine to worry
over.You should solve it yourself."
He pretended to be calm.
However, there was a violent storm raging in his heart.
James knew Centennial Corporation's origin.It was established by the Emperor but never ceased operations even after his
death.
Now, the company has begun developing at a tremendous speed.
This suggested that someone had taken over the Emperor’s job and was making big moves.
Messiah Corporation is bound to face a similar crisis in due time.
Having acquired several major companies, Centennial Corporation now stood atop the pharmaceutical industry.
Messiah Corporation did not have a snowball’s chance in hell against them.

What perplexed James and drew his attention was why the mastermind hiding behind the scenes wanted to dominate the
pharmaceutical industry so badly.
He doubted Centennial Corporation’s goal was to research medicines that could greatly benefit the world.
The only thing he was certain about was this definitely had something to do with the failed plan a hundred years ago.
However, James was unsure of the details of what happened back then and had to seek out someone who knew the truth to find
out more.
The whole family’s eyes were glued on Thea as they held their breath and waited for her to make a decision.
Thea had been to Messiah Corporation before and knew about Centennial Corporation’s purpose for existing.
Judging by their current actions, Thea could tell they were speeding up their plan.She stood firmly on James’ side.
If James’ Messiah Corporation was not going to give in, then neither would she.
