Roar of the Supreme Warrior -
Chapter 58
The restructuring of the five armies was a major incident involving the five regions.
All key personnel of the five regions were required to attend.
This was supposed to be an internal matter not privy to the public.
However, since the Blithe King was taking over as the commander-in-chief of the five armies, they made an exception. Some seats were made available to the public. There were numbers printed on the invitation cards. Each number corresponded with a seat at the venue.
As soon as they heard that they could enter, everyone consciously made way for Lex.
As he was a special guest, his seat would be at the forefront where the commanders of the other military regions would be. A man of his stature should take the lead.
What was going on?
Lex was slightly confused.
"Why are you still standing around, old mate? Go on!"
Lex jerked out of his reverie as a voice called out to him.
What's going on? Should I be going in first?
After pausing for a few seconds, he burst out laughing. Tapping his dragon head cane on the ground, he walked toward the entrance under everyone's gaze with his head held high. "I'm so envious."
"After this, the Callahans would have made it."
"Within three years, the Callahans' assets would multiply. I promise."
Everyone mumbled under their breath.
Though the voices were soft, Lex still managed to hear them.
As a man who craved prestige and recognition, he felt proud and satisfied hearing what they said.
The other business moguls followed suit after Lex had made his way to the entrance. They made a line, waiting for someone to check their invitations.
Once they were in line, the lieutenant announced, "Let me make myself clear. First, please keep to the path on the side after you enter. Head right to the back and stand in the designated areas according to the floor markers. Please remain silent once you've found your spot. You're not allowed to leave early. Also..."
The lieutenant presented them with a list of rules.
Everyone took mental notes.
"We'll be checking your invitations now."
Lex showed the lieutenant his invitation, which looked exquisite. As soon as the lieutenant saw that it was a special invitation, he stood at attention, saluting Lex. "Good day, sir."
Lex was dazed when the lieutenant called him "sir".
All the people behind Lex simply looked envious.
He was definitely close to the Blithe King. Even a general was being so respectful toward him.
The other Callahans standing slightly further away looked on proudly. All of them recorded this momentous occasion with their phones.
After saluting Lex, the lieutenant unfolded the invitation. As he saw the name printed on it, his expression darkened.
There was no doubt the higher authorities issued this invitation. However, they had also issued a command to bar and throw Lex Callahan out if he came.
The lieutenant spared Lex a glance before ordering the soldiers around him to throw Lex out.
"Yes, sir."
Two soldiers approached and lifted Lex by each of his arms.
Lex was stunned, and then he panicked. He shouted, "General... sir, what's going on? I have an invitation! What are you doing? Ah!"
Lex was thrown out, hitting the ground hard. For several moments, he remained where he was, unable to get up.
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
