After Thea arrived, the three began discussing their plan.Soon, they were able to iron out the details and start forming a cohesive plan.After spending an entire afternoon discussing it, the plan was tentatively finalized.Now, they had to wait for Blake’s investigation results and ascertain Mr. Gabriel’s whereabouts.Then, after they collected all the information they needed, it would finally be time to put things into action.“That’s it for now.”Maxine sighed in relief and said, “Our operation can only succeed. There isn’t any room for failure. The consequences of failure will be extremely lethal.”James furrowed his brows worriedly as he said, “I still don’t even know what Mr. Gabriel looks like, let alone his whereabouts.”They had everything planned out except for one pretty sizeable bump in the road—who exactly was Mr. Gabriel?Maxine closed her eyes to think before she spoke again, “I’ve never seen him before either. I think the King might have an idea. You should go

James went to the Red Flame Army base.He got off a vehicle at the Red Flame Army military region’s gate.Before he got close to the command center, his path was suddenly blocked.Some fully-armed soldiers pointed the muzzles of their assault rifles at James who was slowly walking toward them.“What’re you doing?”James' face darkened. “Do you know who you’re pointing your guns at?”“Yes, Sir.”A one-star general walked over, stood before James, and saluted him. “You’re the commander of the Black Dragon Army, the Dragon King of the Southern Plains. However, this is the Red Flame Army’s Capital base. You’ve no right to enter, or else you’ll be overstepping your authority. We have the right to stop outsiders from trespassing into our base.”James glanced at the general and asked, “What’s your name?”“Sir, I’m the deputy commander of the Red Flame Army, Nathaniel Carlson,” Nathaniel replied courteously.He did not tell his subordinates to lower their guns despite his respectful

James took the cigarettes with him and left Peace Mansion.After walking out, Gloom chased after him, calling out, “James.”James turned around with his hands in his trouser’s pockets as he asked, “What’s the matter?”Gloom warily surveyed their surroundings, pulled James to a secluded area without guards, and whispered, “The King wishes to know your whole plan.”James looked at him flatly, “I don’t have any concrete plans yet. I’ll think about it after I’m officially the commander of the Red Flame Army.”“What’s wrong? Are you implying that you don’t trust the king?” Gloom furrowed his brows suspiciously.James dismissed his concerns. “Certainly not. Like I said, I just don’t have any solid plans as of yet. This isn’t a simple matter and needs a lot of careful deliberation in order to pull it off. I’ll definitely inform the King after I’ve hashed out the details. Plus, I’ll need the King’s help if the situation demands it.”“You…” Gloom sighed and shot him a resigned look.Jam

The King must have resorted to unscrupulous means to gain power.While lost in thought, he eventually arrived at the massive gates of the Emperor’s Mansion.Thea was practicing her martial arts in the yard. Her body was floating one meter above the ground as her long, black hair danced in the air. Her body emanated a strong aura causing the fallen leaves on the ground to flutter around her body.James stopped to watch Thea practicing. Thea noticed James’ return and immediately stopped practicing. She landed firmly on the ground and excitedly rushed over to him. A huge smile was on her face as she shouted, “Honey, you’re back!”James stared at Thea’s flushed face and asked, “Thea, what were you practicing? The aura around you just now felt incredibly strange.”Thea explained, “It’s called Spiritual Art. Sir Caden taught it to me. When he was young, he came upon it by chance and said it was a powerful cultivation method. The cultivation allows one to cultivate potent True Energy,

Maxine grew up in the Caden household, an ancient martial family with countless historical books passed down that had detailed records of past events.She might not know the details regarding the family’s personal vendettas, but she had read the records about Spiritual Art.Looking at Thea, she continued while staring her straight in the eye. “I read in the records that Spiritual Palm is a brutal technique. After one’s True Spirit Energy has been refined to a great extent, their True Energy will turn fierce. An attack combining True Spirit Energy and Spiritual Palm will cause the fierce True Energy to spread throughout the victim’s body. The victim will not suffer an immediate death and will have to endure the agonizing torment of the ferocious True Energy coursing through their body as they slowly rot to death.”“I-Is it that scary?” Thea’s resolve was shaken.She had been practicing the technique for a while but had not experienced any problems. The True Energy in her body also

James had a sinking feeling that his grandfather, Thomas Caden, was still alive. However, there was no way he could prove or confirm his suspicions.Since Thea was close to his grandfather, naturally, the two must have been in contact at some point.“Thea, please. I need to hear the truth.” James reached out his hand and placed it on Thea’s shoulder.Thea looked at him and nodded sheepishly, “You’re right. Grandpa is still alive. I did contact him before we came here, but only once. I couldn’t reach him when I tried to contact him the second time. I really don’t have a clue about his current whereabouts.”“Why did grandpa plan the ordeal in Mount Arclens and fake his death? Who is he trying to deceive?”“Honey, I really don’t know… Grandpa was the one who brought me to Mount Arclens. I don’t know what he was trying to do. He told me after we arrived there that he was looking for the Sacred Fire Fig. While looking for it, we encountered a hundred-year-old fire snake. Grandpa killed

“Good morning, Soleans. Thank you for tuning into Sol's Morning News Channel.“This morning the King of Sol held a meeting in the General Assembly Hall. Let’s take a look at some footage of the meeting.”In the video, the King was dressed in a black suit with his hair combed back neatly. He faced the camera and announced, “Some time ago, the Emperor who also held the position as commander of the Red Flame Army, committed a serious crime and was stripped of his title. After long and careful consideration from all members of the parliament, James, the commander of the Black Dragon Army, has now been appointed as the new commander of the Red Flame Army.”The footage also clearly showed the three parties stamping their seals on the official appointment document.The news shocked the whole nation.“What happened?”“Why did James suddenly become the commander of the Red Flame Army?”“Wasn’t he demoted?”“Is this his comeback?”All major military and tabloid forums were discussing t

Many influential figures of the Capital were standing in front of their expensive cars, waiting for an opportunity to meet James.A beautiful and curvy woman who radiated a brilliant atmosphere in her 20s walked over and greeted James with a bright smile. “We meet again, James.”It was none other than Yuna, the chairman of Longevity Pharmaceutical in Cansington. After their company was forced to withdraw from Cansington, she returned to the Lawsons in Capital.After finding out about James’ appointment as the new Emperor, she went out of her way and dressed up specifically to meet with him. She put on her best business smile and acted as if she were good friends with James.James glanced at Yuna and smirked. “Yuna, right? I remember you. When Thea came to you for help, you deliberately the situation more difficult for her and put the Callahans in a crisis.”Hearing this, Yuna’s smile immediately evaporated from her face. Her eyes went wide with shock and embarrassment.She hurr
