The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 293

Thea was not bothered by it. She did not like to be too flashy. The car would definitely attract a lot of attention if she drove it out.

Thea was not complaining, so James also did not say much.

He opened the Maserati door and got inside the driver’s seat. Thea hopped into the passenger seat, and they hurriedly drove toward the highway.

North Cansington was the neighboring city of Cansginton and also one of the country’s largest cities. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

James drove at a very steady pace, neither too fast nor slow. After getting on the highway, he kept a speed of 120 miles per hour.

“James, let’s buy some gifts when we reach downtown North Cansington. I haven’t been to North Cansington in almost ten years and haven’t seen my grandparents for a long time. Since we’re going to celebrate my grandma’s birthday, we can’t present ourselves too shabbily,” Thea sat in the passenger seat and said. After speaking, she took out a card and handed it to James.

“This is a new card I just made. There are ten million dollars in it. You hold on to it first.”

“Why’re you giving me so much money, darling?”

“I’m giving it to you, so just take it.”

Although Thea had not been to North Cansington for ten years, she knew her uncles very well. Similar to her mother, they were also very power-hungry. She did not want James to be belittled in North Cansington,

James was unaware of Thea’s intentions.

“Darling, I’ve found a job and don’t need money. The company is currently in its development stage and will need the money. You keep it. I’ve enough from my salary.” Thea rolled her eyes at James. “You want to be embarrassed, but I don’t want to. My uncles have the same virtue as my mother.” James immediately understood after hearing this.

Thus, he quietly put away the card.

“By the way, you probably don’t know my mother’s side of the family yet. I’ll introduce you briefly, so you don’t embarrass yourself when we arrive.” “Oh, alright.”

“My grandfather is a soldier and has always worked in the army. Although he isn’t in a very high position, his family has always held onto very strong military principles. Therefore, plenty of my uncles worked in the army and are now dispatched to various government departments.”

Janes nodded as Xara’s admiration for soldiers was quite apparent.

Thea continued, “However, my grandfather knows it is not enough to simply join the army, so he trained a businessman, my youngest uncle.

“He’s currently a successful businessman with billions of dollars net worth.

“My cousin, Xara, whom you’ve met before, is this uncle’s daughter.” Thea briefly introduced a few things about the Hills. James listened attentively.

Thea reminded him, “Don’t spout any nonsense when we arrive there and don’t you try to brag. Whoever we meet, just follow me and greet them as I do, understand?” James nodded and said, “Okay, I definitely won’t embarrass you.”

After driving for more than two hours, James finally arrived at North Cansington.

The two did not rush to the Hills’ house and instead went to the city to pick out some gifts.

The two of them walked into a jewelry store. “Honey, what do you think is a suitable gift to buy?”

Thea glanced at a few valuable gold and silver jewelry. She felt it would be a bit inappropriate to give such things to the elderly as they had already passed the age of wanting to wear jewelry like these. James also had no clue, so he shrugged his shoulders and replied, “You should just buy whatever you think is good.”

“I remember my grandfather liked to smoke. However, my grandfather used to be a soldier and had been to many places. Plus, many of my relatives are high-ranking officials, so he must’ve already smoked all kinds of cigarettes. There probably isn’t anything I can buy for him,” said Thea “Why don’t you buy him cigarettes that aren’t available outside?”

“Easy for you to say. Do you have connections to get them?” Thea rolled her eyes and scolded James.

“Regarding this, I do have a way to get them.” James smiled brightly. A few cigarettes were not a big deal to him. Thea suddenly remembered that James also used to be a soldier. Moreover, he had been a soldier for ten years, and it would not be surprising for him to be acquainted with some high-ranking officials. Therefore, it would indeed not be a problem for him to get some premium cigarettes.

“Then, what should we get for Grandma?” Thea began to worry again and immediately patted her forehead.

“Grandma is the most concerned about health. I should’ve gotten her some high-quality wild ginseng in Cansington.”

“It doesn’t have to be bought in Cansington. I’m sure North Cansington should have some too,” said James.

“What do you know? Cansington is the capital of medicine, and the medicine from the city is famous all over the world. Although North Cansington is next to Cansington and also sells the same thing, the quality is far inferior to the ones from Cansington.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Let’s go around and see if we can buy some good ones.” Thea thought for a while, nodded, and agreed.

Alright, let’s look around.”
