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

Hearing that they were about to fight against the Red Flame Army, the Tucksons panicked. “What else can I do then?” Halvor’s face darkened. James’ army was already outside the district. The Tucksons would be over if he does not resort to extreme measures. “We should remain calm, Father. James is different from other generals. He’s the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army and the Dragon King. He climbed the ranks by stepping on the corpses of his enemies. Why would he be afraid of mere mercenaries?” “Exactly.” The Tucksons tried convincing Halvor. Halvor composed himself. He immediately pulled his phone out and called the Secretary-General. “Secretary-General, why is James here outside my house with an army? Request an audience with the King and ask him to order James to retreat.” A hoarse voice came from the phone and said, “Halvor, do you still not understand the situation? Why did the King make James the Emperor? That’s because he wields the Blade of Justice. H

He immediately called a number. “Marion Wagner, the Tucksons’ residence is surrounded by the Red Flame Army. Bring a few thousand men here at once and force James to make a retreat. Once I’ve escaped safely, I’ll give you a third of the Tucksons’ assets.” A voice came, “Mr. Halvor, what makes you think that I’ll help the Tucksons out? Once you’re dead, all of the Tucksons’ assets will be confiscated.” Halvor hurriedly said, “I have several bank accounts overseas with a couple of billions in each of them. Help me out and I’ll give you a third of them.” “I would love to. However, I value my life more.” “Don’t f*ck around with me! I thought you mercenaries would be willing to do anything for money even at the cost of your life! You don’t have to come personally. Just send your men here. There’s no way James would allow the situation to escalate in the Capital. Can he withstand the consequences of this?" Halvor had no choice but to make a gamble. Marion remained silent for a

A cornered dog would inevitably lash out. James was worried Halvor would do something reckless. Since he was currently in the Capital and was unable to concern himself with the affairs in Cansington, he immediately called Thea and instructed her to order the God-King Palace to step up their security measures to protect the Callahans, Quincy, and the others in Messiah Corporation. “How dare you arrest me, James? Do you know who I am? Do you know what I’m capable of?” Even as Halvor was taken away, he continued shouting. However, James paid no heed to him. He looked at Delilah who was bloodied all over and apologized, “I’m sorry I was late.” “I-It’s alright…” Caressing her bloodied forehead, Delilah said, “Thank you for arriving on time. Otherwise, my mother and I…” James waved slightly. “It’s the least I could do. I will ask someone to send you to the hospital first. Once I’m done resolving the matter, I’ll visit you.” Henry immediately ordered, “Send her to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Nathaniel’s face paled, and he asked, “Why? Did something happen?” James ordered, “Three thousand mercenaries have surrounded Hope Villa District. I want you to mobilize the entire armed forces and reinforce me. I don’t wish to harm any innocent people, nor do I wish to let a single enemy escape.” “Holy…” Hearing this, Nathaniel was stunned, and he immediately gave the order. Sirens began blaring throughout the Red Flame Army’s headquarters. The Red Flame Army hastily assembled and was prepared to move out. Convoys, armored cars, and helicopters were on the move. At the same time, in Hope Villa District… The mercenaries seized control of the security room and wiped out all security guards. A man full of scars on his face was speaking using a loudspeaker, “Listen up, James. Release Halvor Tuckson immediately and prepare a helicopter for me, or else I’ll flatten Hope Villa District.” “Curses!” James was enraged. “Emperor, we shouldn’t act recklessly. We don’
