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, virtual-novel.net covered virtual-novel.net mouth with virtual-novel.net hands.
Hearing a gasp, James turned around and noticed her.
What is virtual-novel.net doing? Is virtual-novel.net that surprised to see me?
However, one glance at Daniel, and virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net greeted Xara with a smile, “Hello, I’m Daniel…”
“Ah…” Xara gasped, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net greetings to Daniel He had just been bragging about being acquainted with General Highsmith.
What should virtual-novel.net do now that Xara has met the real deal?
If virtual-novel.net backed down now, virtual-novel.net would lose this opportunity forever.
Knowing this, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net ear, “I’ll find the right time and place to introduce you to General Highsmith.”
“J-James…” Xara regained virtual-novel.net senses and called out.
James was seated, and Francis had only noticed Daniel.
Upon hearing Xara’s words, virtual-novel.net paused and asked, “W-Who?
Xara shook off Francis’ grip. She picked up a backless stool and set it beside James.
Sitting down, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net was shocked.
What’s this? Isn’t that the son-in-law of the Callahan family?
How is virtual-novel.net having lunch with General Highsmith?
Unable to process the situation, Francis was at a loss.
Meanwhile, Xara, who was seated beside James, fixed virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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?”
Gazing at Daniel, Xara felt virtual-novel.net heart race and virtual-novel.net adrenaline pumping. She did not expect to meet virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and approached their table again. He took a seat beside Xara.
With a smile, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net head. “I… No idea…”
Slam!
Daniel slammed the table. It sent shivers down Xara’s spine. She immediately stood up.
Francis was so frightened that virtual-novel.net fell from his chair.
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 virtual-novel.net back to virtual-novel.net seat and said with a smile, “Not you… Sit down and enjoy the food.”
“Huh?”
