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

Wearing a grim expression, James said, “From what Yaroslav told me, I can now be sure that it was Grandpa who leaked the information. Not only that, my Grandpa even instructed Yaroslav to cooperate with me in order to survive.” “Oh, is that so?” Maxine asked, “What did Thomas say to Yaroslav?” James narrated Yaroslav’s words. Hearing this, Maxine stroked her chin, pensive. “How strange… What is Thomas up to? What kind of person is he?” Thea was confused. She thought that Thomas would never harm James. Now that Maxine’s speculation was proven to be true, she could no longer figure Thomas out. James looked at Maxine and asked, “Maxine, what do you think Grandpa is up to?” Maxine rolled her eyes and said, “I’m not God. How would I know? Forget it, you shouldn’t overthink things. It’s getting late. We should sleep.” She turned to leave. Meanwhile, Thea grabbed James’ hand and consoled him, “Darling, I don’t think Grandpa's a bad person. Although he has a close relationship

Why? How? Thea immediately burst into tears. “Thea…” Looking at the tearful Thea, James felt awful deep inside. He tried defending himself. “You can’t blame me for this, can you? It was a setup. Who would have known?” James had been thinking about this for the past few days. However, he was unsure of what to do. He was in a bind. “Haha… I thought it’d be something more serious.” Wiping her tears, Thea said with a smile, “This isn’t too difficult to deal with. You’re rich, after all. Just give her a sum of money for child-rearing costs.” “…” James was dumbfounded. He did not expect Thea to say such a thing. “G-Go shower already.” She gently pushed James. James entered the bathroom in a daze. Meanwhile, Thea lay on the bed helplessly. What else could she do now? If Tiara really did give birth to a child, she could volunteer to raise the child. As long as James would remain by her side, she could turn a blind eye to this. Soon, James was done showering. The m

James had only learned of this incident last night. How did he manage to finish investigating the matter in such a short amount of time? Delilah momentarily froze before saying, “Sure.” “Let’s get going then.” James turned and waved toward the convoy. The driver drove toward them and stopped right in front of James. The two got on. Soon, they arrived at the Red Flame Army’s headquarters. In the Emperor’s office… James was sitting on an office chair, whereas Delilah sat by his side. Braxton had been waiting. He was awake the whole night in the military region. He handed James the documents and said, “Sir, here are all the documents you need. The bankruptcy of Blue Tech Corporation was caused by the struggle between a few tech conglomerates. Since Blue Tech Corporation mastered a brand-new technology, a family wanted to make a low-cost acquisition. After being rejected, they resorted to underhanded tactics.” James scrutinized the documents which contain all informat

After receiving James’ order, Nathaniel swiftly left. James looked at Delilah and gave his assurance, “Don’t worry, I’ll thoroughly investigate the matter. No matter who was the one behind this, they will not escape justice.” Delilah thanked James gratefully, “Thank you so very much, James. If not for you, I really don’t know what I should do. Yesterday, I would have been…” James waved his hand slightly and interrupted her, “You’re General Kimberly’s daughter. Your affairs are my affairs. Besides, I’ve told you to call me if you have any difficulties.” “Got it, I will.” Delilah smiled. “What do you plan to do today? Let me send you back for now.” Since James had nothing to do in the military region, he offered to send her back. After a brief contemplation, Delilah said, “Nothing much, I plan to return and await your good news. All this while, my mom has been worried sick about my dad. She’s worried that he’s…” Yesterday’s investigation did not reveal her stepfather’s wh
Chapter 1118
“But I didn’t buy anything.” Knock! Knock! Knock! “Open the door.” The knock grew louder, and the people outside began kicking the door. At that moment, Jeanne Lynch realized that something was wrong. She thought that the debt collectors were there. Holding a broom in her hand, she was nervous. “What should I do?” Just as she was at a loss, the men outside kicked down the door and rushed in. One of them compared Jeanne with a photo and yelled, “She’s Xavion Zachary’s wife! Get her!” A few honchos rushed in and forcibly dragged Jeanne outside. “What are you doing? Let me go!” Jeanne struggled with all her might. However, she could not break free. Slap! One of the honchos slapped across the face and yelled, “Shut up, b*tch!” Jeanne could feel a searing pain on her cheek. She pleaded, “Please let me go. I really have no money.” “Shut the f*ck up. Take her away.” “Got it.” Jeanne was forcibly dragged away. This was an ancient building with no elevators, so t

Jeanne believed that the Emperor is capable of pulling this off. After all, he was the most powerful man in Sol. However, she was puzzled. Why would the Emperor help an ordinary woman like her out? Wearing a surly expression, James looked at the men kneeling on the ground and asked, “What’s your name?” “M-My name’s Forrest Long. The Tucksons put the word out that we’ll be rewarded if we find these two women. My subordinates happened to bump into them nearby, so I brought them here.” “I didn’t do anything, Emperor. Please spare me!” Wearing a grim expression, James said, “Bring them to the Tucksons and ask them for the reward.” “I wouldn’t dare! Please, let us go!” “Shut up, this is an order!” James kicked him, “Weren’t you pretty bold just now? What happened? I’m ordering you to bring them to the Tucksons. I’m interested to see what they plan to do to them.” After recollecting himself, Forrest asked, “A-Are you saying that we’re only putting on an act?” “What else?” J
