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

“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

James said, “The Cadens should have an intelligence network in the Capital. I’d like you to give me information about the Tuckson family in the Capital.” Hearing this, Maxine froze and asked, “Why do you need information on the Tucksons in the Capital?” “I need it as soon as possible. Please send it to me at once.” “Alright, I’ll send someone to investigate the matter. I’ll hand them over to you later.” Maxine hung up the phone. As one of the Ancient Four, the Cadens possessed a powerful intelligence network. As the Tucksons were a family in the Capital, it was easy for Maxine to get her hands on information regarding the Tucksons. She called a number. In less than ten minutes, all of the Tucksons’ information was already in her inbox, and she sent it to James, who scrutinized each of them. At that same time, in Hope Villa District… As the Capital was the capital of Sol, every piece of land was worth a fortune. As such, skyscrapers filled the skyline, and there were f

Braxton left. He knew that he was walking on a tightrope. The consequences would be fatal if he made a blunder. However, he did not have a choice. For twenty years, he cooperated not only with the Tuckson family but also with many others. If James got to the bottom of this, he would be doomed even if he did not do anything wrong. However, he also knew that the dynamics in the Capital are complex and would get many involved. He believed that James would not act recklessly. After all, he could not deal with the ramifications. At the same time, James was at the Red Flame Army’s headquarters scrutinizing information concerning the Tucksons sent by Maxine. The Tucksons were a huge family that had established itself in the Capital for centuries. They possessed great authority and incredible wealth. Their members assumed many positions in the army and the political realm. Glancing at it, James said coldly, “The Tucksons are considered a powerful force. Guess I’ll make a move on them

Henry walked toward the sofa and removed his cap. James walked over to the rest area and handed Henry a cigarette, “How’s the situation at the Southern Plains? How did the investigation go?” Henry nodded, “I’m almost done with the investigation. I found out that General Grant had interacted with the previous Emperor’s subordinates. However, that was because the previous Emperor had abducted his family. It was he who leaked all information regarding our whereabouts. Apart from him, there are many other high-ranking generals…” Henry narrated the chain of events in the Southern Plains. “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “We’ll put this aside for now. After resolving the matter in the Capital, we’ll promptly return and deal with it.” “Sir, am I on some kind of mission?” “Yes.” James nodded. “We’ll have to make a move. Though the Capital is peaceful on the outside, it is rotten to the core. The time has come to tear down the rotten structure. I’ll make the necessary arrangements

“I want money.” Helping her mother up, Delilah looked at Halvor and said, “Give me 100 million dollars and help me clear all of my debt. In return, I’ll give you the information.” Though she did not know what technology his stepfather’s company had made a breakthrough in, she knew it would be worth a fortune. Otherwise, the Tucksons would not have gone to such lengths. After all, they risked antagonizing the Emperor for this. “Sure.” Halvor did not hesitate. To him, they were already dead. He would agree to whatever conditions they put forward. “First, get us a doctor to treat our injuries,” Delilah said with a frustrated look on her face. Her expression, which seemed to be one of resignation and helplessness, managed to fool Halvor. He thought that Delilah had information regarding the technological breakthrough and was ready to hand them over to him out of fear. However, Delilah was an actress, whose acting skills were top-notch. “Sure.” Halvor nodded and immediately or

Making a move on the Tucksons would have much greater consequences than executing Mr. Gabriel. The mighty column of convoys could not help but attract the attention of passers-by. “Where are all these convoys headed to?” “What’s the new Emperor trying to do?” “They seem to be heading in the direction of Hope Villa District. Only powerful and influential people live there.” “Let’s enjoy the show.” The crowd was in an uproar. Soon, the convoys arrived at Hope Villa District. Fully armed soldiers got off and fell into formation. This created a sensation. James got off the convoy with Henry following close behind. At the same time, in the Tucksons… “What?” After receiving a call, Halvor was enraged. He grabbed Delilah’s hair and slapped her across the face. “How dare you lie to me, you b*tch?! I’ll tear you to pieces!” Delilah’s face was swollen, and blood was dripping from her lips. Halvor pulled out a gun and pressed it against her head and roared, “One last cha
