The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 12

 

 

James pouted helplessly. 

“Get me the dress from my closet,” Thea said, ignoring him. “There’s an important banquet tonight.” 

James stood and walked toward the closet. “Which one, dearest?” he asked, opening the closet door. 

“The white one, with the V-neck.” 

“That won’t do. You can’t expose yourself in public like that. This one looks good.” James grabbed a black, high-neck dress and handed it to Thea. “Oh, right. What’s the banquet for?” 

 

“Rowena Xavier- of the Xaviers- is hosting an auction banquet. There’ll be lots of great items there, so almost everyone that is attending will be famous in one way or another. I’m going to expand my network while I’m there.” 

James paused when he heard that, but recovered immediately. “Need me to give you a ride?” he asked. 

“I’ll take the cab.” 

“Oh, okay then.” 

Thea left after changing into her dress. 

James left soon after, giving her family a random excuse as he did.

The Xaviers had one remaining villa left. All their other assets had been liquidated, including real estate.

Sat at the helm was a middle-aged man clad in military uniform. 

He was Trent Xavier, Warren Xavier’s fourth son. 

Trent was a soldier on the western border, which meant he was on a mission when Warren died and had not been able to leave. When he finally managed to rush back home, it was already too late. 

However, the murderer left a clue. They were a remnant of the Cadens that had fallen ten years ago. So, he rushed to the Capital overnight in search of the man in power that had ordered the extermination of the Cadens and the retrieval of Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge, in hopes of having his questions answered. 

Alas, his efforts were fruitless, save for one piece of news: The reason why Thea Callahan became disfigured was because ten years ago, she was afflicted with burns while saving someone from the Cadens’ villa!
