“Madelyn Gabriel,” a voice came. Madelyn knew that she could not simply head over to the Emperor’s Mansion. So, she got her hands on Thea’s number and gave her a call. Hearing this, Thea froze. James asked, “What’s wrong?” Thea whispered, “It’s Madelyn.” Stunned, Maxine furrowed her eyebrows and wondered, “Why would she call at such a time?” Thea switched the call to speaker mode and asked, “Why did you call?” “Is James there?” “No, he’s not. I can deliver your message to him.” “No, I have to speak with James personally.” Thea looked at James. James said, “I’m right here.” Madelyn said, “Let’s not speak over the phone. We should find a secluded place to meet. After all, informants are everywhere in the Capital nowadays. I don’t want anyone to know that I’m meeting you. Send me a message once you’ve decided on the time and place.” Beep… Thea asked, “Why did Madelyn call all of a sudden?” After thinking, Maxine said, “Yaroslav must have been intimidated afte
Chapter 1107
It was Delilah Kimberly, daughter of General Kimberly of the Southern Plains, and a famous actress. As far as James could remember, she seemed to be a renowned figure in the entertainment industry. However, he could not understand why she would be here singing in a bar. “Are you acquainted with her?” Maxine asked, seeing James’ expression upon noticing the woman on the stage. “Yes…” James said, “She’s the daughter of a general of the Southern Plains. His father was killed in combat during a mission.” “Oh.” Delilah walked up the stage. She was wearing a revealing dress, through which her white lace bustier top could be seen. The crowd erupted into an uproar. “Delilah!” “Delilah Kimberly!” “Twerk your *ss!” The screams and the obscene remarks reverberated throughout the bar, and the atmosphere was pushed to the climax. However, Delilah only smiled. She began to sing, and it was music to the ears. Then, she finished singing. Just as she was about to leave the sta

James shook his head and said, “We’ll wait and see.” The meeting with Madelyn was a matter of great significance. He could not mess things up for something as trivial as this. On the stage, Delilah hurriedly got up. She lowered her head and apologized profusely. However, Habib could not care less. Things were the way he wanted. The lower Delilah hung her head, the louder the shouts of the crowd were. Habib reached out and grabbed Delilah’s dress. In an instant, her dress was torn apart. Her fair and delicate skin was exposed for all to see. Panicking, she hurriedly covered her body. “Hahaha!” “What a nice figure.” Seeing this, James could no longer restrain himself. He leaped from the second floor and landed steadily on the stage. His feet landed, and the stage shook slightly. “What?” The crowd was dumbfounded. What the hell? Did he just leap from the second floor? James was wearing a large-sized jacket and a black cap. After all, he was trying to cover his trac

After hanging up the phone, James helped Delilah up and said, “Let’s go.” “Mhm.” Delilah nodded and left the bar alongside James. Meanwhile, Maxine followed close behind. After leaving the bar, James pulled his phone out and called Madelyn. “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not available.” James frowned. “Huh, weird…” Maxine said, “The dynamics in the Capital are complex. All families and forces have informants everywhere. It’s only natural for her to be extra cautious. After all, she’ll be dead if she’s discovered. Let’s return for now and wait for another opportunity to show itself.” James did not think much about it. Looking at Delilah, he asked, “Have you eaten?” Delilah shook her head. James brought her to a nearby restaurant and requested a private room. In the private room, James asked, “What happened? How did you end up singing at a bar?” Delilah was still wearing James’ jacket. Taking a sip of a glass of warm water, she said, “My family went ban

“How long more do you need?” “A day or two perhaps.” “Hurry.” After briefly conversing with Blake, James hung up the phone. Soon, he arrived at the military region. Along the way, the soldiers saluted him. In the Emperor’s office in the military region… James was sitting on a chair with a few one-star generals standing before him. He scanned them and asked, “Who was the one in charge of the Red Flame Army after the previous Emperor’s death?” Nathaniel took a step forward and said, “That would be General Micah.” “Tell him that I’d like to see him,” James said. He scrutinized the information he obtained about the generals of the Red Flame Army. Braxton Micah was a fifty-five-year-old three-star general. “Understood.” “You’re dismissed.” James waved, and the generals left. However, Nathaniel remained. James glanced at him and asked, “Is something the matter?” Wearing a smile, Nathaniel asked, “Sir, do you intend to weed out the remnants of the previous Empe
Chapter 1111
Braxton Micah was not in the military region at the moment. After receiving notice, he immediately made his way there. In just half an hour, he appeared before James. “Sir…” He was sweating profusely on the forehead. James looked at the man before him. He was a three-star general and second-in-command of the Red Flame Army. After the previous Emperor’s death, he was temporarily made in charge of the Red Flame Army. “General Micah…” James looked at him. “Your orders, sir?” Though sweat beaded on Braxton’s forehead, he did not dare wipe them off. James asked, “General Micah, which city do you think is the safest in Sol?” Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Braxton said, “The Capital.” “Yes, the Capital, the city which the Red Flame Army is in charge of. But why do I hear that there have been many incidents ever since the demise of the previous Emperor?” James’ nonchalant attitude sent a shiver down Braxton’s spine. He asked, “S-Sir, what are you referring to, may
Chapter 1112
James got into the backseat. Beside him was a fifty-year-old-looking man in a big black jacket. He was wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses. As he lowered his head, James could not discern his appearance. Madelyn was in the driver’s seat. She turned around, removed her sunglasses, and looked at James with a smile. “We meet again, James.” James glanced at her. This was the woman who lured him into a trap. Then, he looked at the man beside him and said, “Reveal your identity.” Yaroslav removed his sunglasses, and James could finally see what he looked like. He was an ordinary-looking man─so ordinary, in fact, one could never imagine him being a figure at the top of the power pyramid. “James,” wearing a smile on his face, Yaroslav said, “your reputation precedes you. I’m honored to have finally met you.” “Are you Yaroslav Gabriel, the one behind the previous Emperor?” James asked. “Yes,” Yaroslav said. James asked, “You’re someone affiliated with the Gu Sect. What bu
Chapter 1113
As Yaroslav was one of the main persons in charge of the Gu Sect, he had much insider information. In order to live through the ordeal, he chose to cooperate with James and tell him everything he knew. This included the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid. The ancient tomb had been broken into long ago, and the box unearthed from within had long been in Thomas’ hands. It was also a part of his plan to bring the box to Cansington and give it to James. Meanwhile, the previous Emperor had been a pawn all this while─a pawn manipulated into doing Thomas’ bidding ever since ten years ago. He was a mere disposable character. Hearing this, James took a deep breath. Based on Yaroslav’s words, his grandfather possessed great strength ten years ago. So why would he watch as his family burned to death? Could it be that his family was still alive? Was everything an illusion? This possibility existed. After all, he was saved by Thea. Though he believed his family to be dead, he had ne
