Chapter 30


    The Blithe King of the West.


    Commander of the army on the western border.He was a man above all, a figure with near unparalleled


    power.His aura emanated powerfully as he approached.


    The outside of The Gourmand was quiet as everyone held their breaths.


    This was the Blithe King, the newmander-in-chief of the five armies! They had only ever seen him


    on screens.


    Now that he was here in person, they were so shocked at the sheermand his presence demanded


    that they did not dare to even move.


    Niel and the security guards remained on the ground, trembling slightly.


    dys had been sobbing on the ground but went quiet when she saw the Blithe King, not daring to


    even breathe too loudly.She had seen the news.She knew this was someone even more terrifying than


    Trent Xavier was.


    Belinda, too, held her breath in fear.


    Everyone was intimidated.


    Only James seemed calm.He had met the Blithe King once, back when he was appointedmander.


    Surprise shed across the Blithe King''s face when he spotted James.


    "Dragon..." he started, but stopped abruptly at James''s gaze.


    Instead, he nced around, piecing the pieces together.He looked at Niel, who was still kneeling on the


    ground.


    "What''s going on?"


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I-It''s nothing, chief marshal."


    The Blithe King did not need an exnation to figure out what was happening.


    "This area is under my jurisdiction.You are forbidden to disturb the peace.If this happens again, there


    will be serious consequences.Leave."


    "Yes, sir."


    Niel rolled away like a ball, not daring to linger.The security guards rolled after him.


    At that moment, several jeeps stopped in front of the restaurant.


    The Blithe King cast another nce at James but said nothing.He got into one of the jeeps and they


    drove away.


    The crowd outside The Gourmand let out a collective sigh of relief.


    "Was...was that the newmander-in-chief of the five armies?"


    "His presence was so overpowering.I felt like I had a bolder pressed on my chest as soon as he


    approached.I couldn''t breathe normally."


    "The Blithe King was themander on the western front, and now he''s the leader of all five armies!


    He holds the most power out of anyone.He''s like the big shot of all big shots!"


    "What a powerful man!"


    Restlessness returned to The Gourmand when the Blithe King''s car disappeared from view.


    Belinda did not dare cause more trouble.She was lucky that the Blithe King had not pinned any me


    on her, or her entire family would be done for.


    "This isn''t over, James.Thea.Just you wait!"


    Belinda limped away after leaving a final word, her appetite ruined.Thea came back to her senses and


    looked in the direction where the jeeps had gone, lost in thought.


    ''So that''s the Blithe King of the West.He''s a lot more domineering than he is on TV..."


    However, what she did not know was that her husband was someone not even the Blithe King could


    compare to.


    "You bastard! You didn''t even dare let out a fart when everything went down! It''s so embarrassing being


    married to you!"


    dys once again started shrieking outside The Gourmand.She yanked Benjamin''s ear, but he dared


    not make a sound.


    Thea felt like she had to say something.


    ''''Mom, people are watching.Stop picking on Dad."


    "This is all your fault, you cursed little bitch.How the hell do you manage to offend everyone no matter


    where you are? You''re lucky the Blithe King was here, or we''d have been done for!"


    dys raised her hand to p Thea, but James reached out and caught her arm.


    "How dare you block me, you punk!"


    dys punched James in the head, enraged.


    James did not retaliate.


    Even if dys was irredeemably wed, she was still Thea''s mother.He just did not want Thea to get


    hit.


    That was all.


    "Mom, please stop hitting him,"


    Thea pleaded, pulling dys back.


    David finally returned, pulling Alyssa along.


    "You almost doomed us all, James," he said, displeasure clear on his face.


    "We were lucky.If it weren''t for the Blithe King having dinner here anding outside when he did,


    you''d definitely have broken legs right now.The rest of us would’ve been dragged into your mess, too."


    "You’re nothing but a burden," Alyssa said in disgust, staring at Thea''s injured face.


    "Enough, dear.People are watching.We can talk about this back home," David muttered carefully to her.


    As for dys, she stopped caring.She had humiliated herself when she knelt for Belinda earlier.
