NovelOnlineChapter 185 Lex swung his cane as soon as James walked through the door. However, James easily
avoided it.
“What happened, Grandpa? Why’re you so angry?”
“You piece of trash!” Lex wore a furious expression. He had lost face and got beaten up by several
security guards just because he believed in James’ words.
This incident was much more shameful than being thrown out by a military region’s general.
Lex stood up, pointed at James’ nose, and scolded him, saying, “You trash! Do you intend to
embarrass my family? “You’re no longer the son-in-law of the Callahans, James! “You’ve no conscience
at all! We feed you, provide for you, but all you do is embarrass our family!”
The family members scolded him and degraded him. However, James wore a puzzled expression.
“What happened, Grandpa?” he asked with a frown. “How dare you still have the face to ask me?” Lex
swung his hand toward James. “At least let me know what happened,” James raised his head, quickly
blocked the slap, and said indifferently. “It’s because you deceived Grandpa, making him think he could

enter the gates. We even got beaten up by the security guards!” Megan shouted. James glanced at
them. They all looked beaten up. There was even a slap mark on Brody’s face.
Megan’s dress was full of footprints, and her stockings were ripped apart. She must have been
assaulted during the beating.
However, James was confused. The security guards’ attitude at the Goodview Villa District was very
polite. It was unreasonable for them to beat up visitors.
He had already pleased Lex, and with his one word, Thea would not follow through with the divorce.
However, such an unexpected situation happened. James walked out calmly. He took out his phone
and called the Five Provinces Business Alliance’s president. “It’s me, Black Dragon. I permitted Lex to
use the House of Royals for his birthday, but the security guards beat him up. I need an explanation
right now.”
The Five Provinces Business Alliance was one of the most significant forces in the country, yet James
was able to call the president of it directly.
The Five Provinces Business Alliance’s president was Yacob Lynch.
He was a very prominent figure. Despite not being from the Capital, his influence was more significant
than those there.
Yacob was shocked to receive James’ call and replied frantically, “C-commander! I’ll investigate it
immediately and give you an explanation right away!”
James hung up the phone and waited outside the door. He did not enter the villa again because he
knew things would not be pretty for him since the Callahans were furious about getting beaten up.
Soon, Yacob called back and explained, “I’ve looked into it already, Commander. It was a fool from the
Xenoses that disrespected Lex. I’ve already ordered him to head to the Callahans’ villa to apologize
personally. I’m sorry for my negligence on this matter, Commander. I’m really sorry…” The Five
Provinces Business Alliance’s president, Yacob, repeatedly apologized.

He even went to the extent of slapping himself. The slaps were so loud that James could hear them
through the phone. “You better hope that it doesn’t interrupt my plan. Otherwise, it would be
unnecessary for the Five Provinces Business Alliance to exist anymore.” James coldly hung up the
phone. Afterward, he smoked a cigarette at the door. Then, he entered the villa again. The Callahans

him away. “Grandpa, this is indeed my fault. Why wouldn’t you tell me in advance that you wanted to
check out the venue? I’ve already made arrangements, but still, you’d have to tell me beforehand if you
wanted to go,” James said with a smile. “F*ck your arrangements! Do you still want to continue your act
even up to now? I’ll kill you!” Tommy picked up an ashtray and threw it at James.
James dodged it.
Bang!
The ashtray hit the ground and shattered instantly.
Lex’s expression darkened, and his whole body trembled. He held up his cane and swung it at James
while scolding, “Y-you! Get out of here! From now on, you’re no longer the son-in-law of our family!”
James quickly stood up and escaped.
Since Lex was still mad, it was best he did not enrage him further. He planned to return after
the people from the Five Provinces Business Alliance apologized.

Everything would be fine by then.
James escaped from the Callahans’ villa and heard the family slam the door shut.
Twenty minutes later, the five Provinces Business Alliance’s council showed up outside the Callahans’
villa dragging Zack and Lucy, as well as the several security guards that beat up the Callahans
following behind.
