James hung up the phone and smoked a cigarette outside before returning to the house.
The Hills were still debating who would be attending the review.
Just then, Clinton’s phone rang.
He answered the phone. “A-Alright, General Nolan… I understand…”
He hung up The Hills’ eyes were fixated on him.
“Clinton, did General Nolan call again?” asked Jedidiah.
“Yeah…”
Clinton took a deep breath and said, “Grandpa, I have some good news. Tomorrow, the Black Dragon of the Southern Plains will be at the military region and give a lecture to those selected for the special training” He jumped excitedly after announcing the news.
“The Black Dragon! I’m finally going to see the Military God!”
The Hills memnbers were stunned
The Black Dragon?
The Black Dragon is coming to North Cansington?
Thea was also slightly taken aback and thought to herself.
Is the mysterious Mr. Caden also in North Cansington?
Clinton calmed down, sat down, and continued, “However, General Chase called to inform me that family attendance has been canceled, and I won’t be able to bring family members this time…”
Hearing this, the Hills’ youngsters were disappointed. However, they were still excited and surrounded Clinton knowing that favonovel.com could meet the military god, the guardian of Sol, tomorrow.
“Clinton, can you get an autograph for me?”
“Clinton, you must tell me what the Black Dragon looks like tomorrow!”
A group surrounded Clinton.
Xara glanced at James and thought to herself.
Why are you suddenly going to the military region, James?
Although favonovel.com was puzzled, favonovel.com dared not question James’ actions. Then favonovel.com was disappointed throughout the entire evening.

Inside a room on the Hills’ villa’s third floor.
Thea was lying in bed, using favonovel.com hands as a pillow as favonovel.com stared blankly at the ceiling. James sat beside favonovel.com and was thinking of an excuse to leave tomorrow.
Initially, favonovel.com had no intention of going. However, Chase helped favonovel.com a lot during this trip to North Cansington, and it would be somewhat unreasonable not to agree to a small request like this.
He got up, walked out of the room, and sat on the balcony. Then, favonovel.com took out a cigarette and lit it.
Next, favonovel.com took out his phone and sent a message to Xara.
James texted, “I’m going to the military region tomorrow morning. Help me think of a way to leave temporarily that won’t raise Thea’s suspicion.”
Xara had not fallen asleep and was lying in bed. Seeing the text, favonovel.com immediately lost the desire to sleep.
She immediately began to come up with ideas for James.
The night passed silently.
***
The next day.
Clinton reported at the military region early in the morning. The Callahans planned to leave after lunch.
Xara approached Thea and smiled brightly. “Let’s go look around, Thea. You haven’t been to North Cansington for many years, and the city has changed a lot recently. I’ll show you around the place.”
“Sure!”
Thea had indeed not visited North Cansington in many years. She agreed to have some fun since favonovel.com was here.
“Are you coming with us, James?” Xara glanced at James and blinked favonovel.com big eyes.
James waved his hands and said, “It’s alright. I’m not coming.”
“Don’t worry about him.” Thea pulled Xara.
“I want to come too, Thea. Let’s go see the North Cansington cave. I haven’t been there in many years,” said David.
Many youngsters also expressed their desire to join.
Soon, Xara led Thea and many Hill youngsters out of the Hills’ villa.
After they were far away, James finally departed and drove toward the military region.
