Chapter 156 What was Xara seeing?
Why was James, the son-in-law of the Callahan family, rumored to be an infamous loser, having lunch
with General Highsmith, a general under the command of the Blithe king?
She did not know how to react.
Utterly shocked, she covered her mouth with her hands.
Hearing a gasp, James turned around and noticed her.
‘What is she doing? Is she that surprised to see me?’
However, one glance at Daniel, and he understood everything
He then stood up. “What a coincidence, Xara, you’re here too. Have you eaten? Come, join us. Oh, by
the way, let me introduce you to Daniel. He’s a good friend of mine We grew up together in the
orphanage. It’s our first time seeing each other in years, so we decided to have lunch together.”
Daniel cast a glance at James, taken aback
He immediately understood the situation and played along. Standing up, he greeted Xara with a smile,
“Hello, I’m Daniel.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ah….”
Xara gasped.
She was thrilled.
“General Highsmith is talking to me! What should I do? I’m so nervous.’
At the table right next to them, Francis was stunned upon seeing Xara extending her greetings to
Daniel
He had just been bragging about being acquainted with General Highsmith.
What should he do now that Xara has met the real deal? If he backed down now, he would lose this
opportunity forever.
Knowing this, he swallowed his pride and walked toward them. He presented himself before Daniel with
a dignified expression. “General Highsmith, how do you do? My name’s Francis. I’m from the Leland
family…”
“Huh?” Daniel frowned. “Who are you? Buzz off…” Francis was scared out of his wits. He pulled Xara
aside. “Xara, what are you doing? Let’s go. We shouldn’t anger the general.”
He dragged the astonished Xara away and whispered in her ear, “I’ll find the right time and place to
introduce you to General Highsmith.”
“] James…”
Xara regained her senses and called out.
James was seated, and Francis had only noticed Daniel. Upon hearing Xara’s words, he paused and
asked, “W-Who?
Xara shook off Francis’ grip. She picked up a backless stool and set it beside James. Sitting down, she
said with a huge smile, “James, I hope you won’t mind?”
“Yeah, sure thing,” James replied with a listless look When Francis saw James, he was shocked.
‘What’s this? Isn’t that the son-in-law of the Callahan family? How is he having lunch with General
Highsmith?”
Unable to process the situation, Francis was at a loss.
Meanwhile, Xara, who was seated beside James, fixed her gaze on Daniel, eyes full of admiration.
Daniel felt a little embarrassed, being stared at by such a beautiful young maiden. It would not have
mattered if it was any other girl. However, she was the sister-in-law of the Black Dragon “Uhm… what
are you staring me for?” Daniel felt his face and muttered, “Is there something on my face?”

idol, General Highsmith, so quickly after arriving in Cansington. She had long dreamt of taking a picture
with him.
“Don’t just sit there. Dig in.”
James grabbed the cutlery and began eating. Meanwhile, Francis stood at the side, dumbfounded
Seeing that Xara had seated herself, he took a deep breath and approached their table again. He took
a seat beside Xara. With a smile, he said, “Xara, so you knew each other.” James glanced at Francis
and frowned. “Xara, who’s this?” Xara, whose eyes were only on Daniel, shook her head. “No idea.”
Slam!
Daniel slammed the table.
It sent shivers down Xara’s spine. She immediately stood up.
Francis was so frightened that he fell from his chalr.
Daniel then said coldly, “Do not make me repeat myself. Scram.” Francis dared not linger and
immediately left. Xara, too, was preparing to leave. However, James pulled her back to her seat and
said with a smile, “Not you. Sit down and enjoy the food.”
“Huh?”
