Sitting on the sofa was an old man with short white hair in a neat haircut.“Wh-What brings you here, sir?” Yaroslav, also known as Mr. Gabriel, cautiously asked.“How could I not be here for something as major as this? You’d already be beheaded and dead on the ground if I hadn’t come.”“Sir, are you referring to James?” Yaroslav was taken aback for a moment. Then, Mr. Gabriel immediately continued. “I know the King wants to eliminate me so that people from our faction will reveal themselves in the ensuing chaos. However, he doesn’t want to make any bold moves. That’s why he’s using James as his sword. Be that as it may, I doubt that James is capable of doing anything.”“Is that so?”The old man looked at Yaroslav and asked flatly, “How do you compare with Donovan Blithe?” Yaroslav replied hesitantly, “We’ve never fought against each other personally, but I’m probably not a match for him since he has mastered the Blithe Fist of Abomination.”“Exactly, you’re no match for him.

The seven or eight generals stepped forward and greeted James one after another. James nodded lightly in response to them.Under the guidance of several generals, James entered the Red Flame Army base.As soon as he entered, he saw the countless soldiers training.They quickly stopped and saluted upon seeing James approaching.James gently waved his hand.Nathaniel walked over with a smile. “Emperor, I’ve prepared the detailed information about the Red Flame Army overnight and placed the documents in your office. You can head over and look through them to understand the army's situation whenever you like. I’ve included everything, including the number of soldiers, annual military expenditures, equipment status, and the number of soldiers scouted from different military regions annually.”James nodded and said, “Alright. Good job. By the way, prepare a name list for me of all the personnel in the Red Flamy that are above deputy commander rank in detail.”“No problem.” Nathaniel

He definitely could not use the Red Flame Army to investigate or ask the King for assistance since he did not want him to know about his following plans.On the other hand, there were several unofficial channels he could put to use, including Jay’s intelligence network, the Dark Castle, the God-King Palace, and the Dragon Palace.The intelligence network of the Red Flame Army must not be used to investigate.Unfortunately, Jay’s intelligent network had not penetrated the Capital.Meanwhile, the Dragon Palace had only been established not too long ago, and they were mainly based overseas,The only two that he could rely on were the Dark Castle and God-King Palace.Compared to the God-King Palace, James had more trust in the Dark Castle.He took out his phone and called Blake.The call connected quickly, and Blake’s hoarse voice sounded from the phone. “James, it’s only been a few days. How could I possibly get a result so quickly? Give me a few more days!”James replied calmly,

The Callahans were shocked by the news that Tommy had shared.Lex and Howard took out their phones simultaneously and searched for the news.Their jaws dropped as they watched the morning news.“Hurry up. Call and gather the whole family. I need to hold a family meeting,” Lex immediately gave an order.Howard quickly headed to do as told.In less than half an hour, all the family members were gathered in the Callahans’ villa.Howard, John, and Benjamin’s families were present.“Dad, what happened?” Gladys, who had heavy makeup on and wore a branded dress, sat down with dissatisfaction. “I already invited some other ladies to play poker together.”Since the rise of Thea, Gladys’ status in the Callahans had been growing continuously.Benjamin’s status had also improved.In the past, he never had the guts to say anything during family meetings, but this time, he asked, “Dad, did something happen for you to call everyone here?Lex asked excitedly, “Benjamin, Gladys. Is Thea stil

Lex stood up immediately and announced excitedly, “I announce that the Callahans will sell off all our properties in Cansington and enter the Capital! From this moment onward, the Callahans are officially a wealthy and powerful family in this world!”Clap! Clap! Clap!The Callahans applauded excitedly and shouted their praises.In the Emperor’s Mansion at the Capital, Thea overheard Lex’s voice through the phone and frowned. “Grandpa, what are you doing? We’ve been doing well in Cansington. Why would you want to come to the Capital? The Capital is a dangerous place. Please don’t come.”The Callahans had finally taken root in Cansington after developing for a few decades.Thea did not want Lex to bring the whole family to the Capital.Although the Capital was the Imperial City, Cansington was not bad either.Cansington had Transgenerational New City, and a new city was being built in the suburbs.It was about to become an international city. Moreover, the Callahans had been deve

After the Callahans learned that James was succeeding the position of Emperor in three days, they became incredibly high-profile.Meanwhile, Yaroslav had gone to seek his leader.However, he did not even get to see him.Yaroslav was unsure why the leader refused to see him now but made a guess that he had been abandoned and was to become a sacrifice just like the Emperor.He refused to give up and die like this.After returning to his courtyard, he immediately called Madelyn.“Come to the Capital right now.”Madelyn never returned to Cansington. Instead, she was trying to find out the identity of the person helping Mr. Gabriel but to no avail. After receiving the call, she hurriedly headed over.Yaroslav fueled his coal fire inside a room of the courtyard house while Madelyn stood aside respectfully. “Mr. Gabriel.”Yaroslav looked at Madelyn and asked, “You didn’t return to Cansington?”Madelyn nodded and said, “Yeah. There’s more to James than the surface. The Emperor fought

Madelyn was lost in thought.After a while, she said, “Sir, what did the upper-ups says about your survival?”“They didn’t say much, except that I could live if I found a way to survive.”Madelyn nodded and said, “If that’s the case, we’ll stir up the situation. As long as it doesn’t affect the progress of the Mount Thunder Conference, we can buy as much time as possible. The conference is only less than a month away.”Yaroslav asked, “Is there anything I can do?”Madelyn said thoughtfully, “There’s a way. James must’ve gotten the King’s permission to kill you. However, the King fears that the situation will get out of control after you die. This is the only reason he hasn’t touched you all these years. Since he’s allowed James to kill you, he won’t be providing him any help. Judging by how Maxine was expelled to help James, the people supporting James are the Cadens.“That cunning man, Tobias, knows the severity of the situation and doesn’t dare to act rashly. Thus, their plan w

Only a few reliable people knew about James’ strength.It was unlikely that Mr. Gabriel would feel threatened if he did not know about his strength.Thus, James felt that Mr. Gabriel would simply ignore him.Maxine thought about it carefully and felt that James’ logic made sense.If she were Mr. Gabriel and knew James was not strong, she would not pay attention to him either. Even if James had authority, he was not going to be much of a threat.“I was worrying too much.” Maxine did not say anything more. She continued eating her nuts as she entered the house.“Honey…” Thea was hesitant to speak.James asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you hesitating?”Thea thought about it and felt that she should tell James about what was happening in Cansington to prevent him from blaming her for it in the future.Thea murmured, “The Callahans found out about your appointment as the Emperor and are planning to hold a banquet in Cansington on the day of your succession ceremony. They want to
