Roar of the Supreme Warrior
Chapter 57

They were familiar with the invitations.

There were different types of invitations. The ones released to the public were usually standard spots, only allowing attendees to stand right at the back. However, a special guest was different. A special guest was entitled to a seat right in front!

Lex's special guest invitation shocked many.

"The Callahans are just a second-rate family. How did they snag an invitation like this?"

"No wonder they made a spectacle out of it. The Callahans were invited as the Blithe King's special guest."

There was a running commentary on the matter.

The Callahans must have been close to the Blithe King.

Otherwise, how would they have managed to secure this invitation? Those who were special guests were the really important people. It was simply not enough to be rich.

"Mister Callahan, it's you. How have you been?"

"Lex, my friend. I haven't seen you in years. You've never looked better."

Upon seeing the invitation, plenty of important people greeted Lex personally.

Lex had never felt prouder as he noticed the big shots approaching him. He felt like he finally belonged to the upper class. Now, he enjoyed a connection with the big shots. The Callahans were glowing with pride. This was their moment.

James and Thea remained in the car at the end of the line.

Gladys regretted coming along. If she knew this would happen, she would not have come. With Lex enjoying the limelight so much, he would reward Megan.

"What a good boyfriend Megan's landed," she grumbled.

James said nothing.

He was waiting for everyone to enter.

The higher Lex climbed now, the harder he would fall later.

Alex was there as well. He envied Lex for the special guest invitation. It was all thanks to his granddaughter who married well.

He walked up to Lex, greeting him. "How are you, Mister Callahan?"

"Mister Yates..." Lex was surprised. He hurriedly stuck out his hand to shake Alex's. Warmly, he said, "Mister Yates, I'm satisfied and happy with our partnership. I hope that we'll always be able to work together."

"Of course," Alex said.

"Oh, it's my eightieth birthday in a few days. If you have time, you're welcome to..."

Lex did not even finish his sentence before Alex agreed. "Of course. I'll be there."

"Callahan, old friend."

Another voice rang out.

A man in his fifties approached.

It was Charles Bertrand, who was also at Rowena's villa last night. He was the chairman of a big pharmaceutical company, second only to Celestial.

Having discovered who James was, he was slightly nervous now that he was meeting with Lex.

"Bertrand. How are you?" The two men shook hands.

Lex felt extremely proud right then. Once, they had treated him as invisible. Now, they were fighting to talk to him.

He was so grateful to the Oswalds.

As soon as the Callahans noticed it, they fawned over Colson again.

"Mister Callahan! How are you?" Stefon Oswald was present as well, coming over to shake hands with Lex. He did not expect that Lex knew the Blithe King, even managing to secure a special guest invitation. Now was the time to get into Lex's good books.

"We should be family. Should my son and Megan get engaged after the ceremony later?"

"Haha, I'd like that." Lex laughed.

He had never felt prouder in his life, feeling on top of the world. The Callahans were finally an upper-class family.

Just then, the doors to the military region opened.

Soldiers clad in their uniforms approached, forming two lines. A lieutenant walked out and said, "The ceremony will commence soon. Please enter and seat yourselves according to the numbers on your invitation."
