Chapter 1125
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’
Chapter 1129
Outside Hope Villa District… Three thousand fully armed mercenaries surrounded the entire district. The security guards had been annihilated, except for three. They were kneeling on the ground, with guns pressed against their heads. Not too far away, a column of convoys was stopped in their tracks. Thousands of fully armed soldiers were on high alert. A man in a black jacket whose face was covered in scars was standing nearby the security room. Behind him were a dozen men, who were aiming their RPGs at the convoys. James approached. A soldier immediately presented him with his bulletproof vest. However, James waved slightly and politely declined. He walked over to Nott. “Halt.” With a loudspeaker in his hand, Nott yelled, “Take another step and we’ll open fire.” James stopped. A few shielded soldiers hurriedly walked over to James and handed him a loudspeaker. James lightly waved. “I do not need this.” Looking at Nott, James catalyzed True Energy and yelled, “Wh

James said solemnly, “I don’t have a choice. In a short amount of time, many powerful figures called me to warn against escalating the situation and to accept the enemy’s demands. Help me think of something, Maxine.” Maxine had been paying close attention to this incident the moment James called Thea. Then, news came from the Cadens. After hearing of this, she had been thinking of a way to deal with the three thousand-strong mercenaries while suffering minimal losses. Now, she had a general idea of what to do. “James, from what I understand, these mercenaries know that they will be fighting against the Red Flame Army in the Capital. This means that they have no plans of returning alive.” “This is rather problematic.” “They are most certainly risking their lives for money. Before battle breaks out, try demoralizing the mercenaries. Promise them you will reward them with a sum as long as they surrender. Once a few wavers, seize the opportunity and make a breakthrough.” “You
Chapter 1131
Bringing Halvor with him, James stood twenty meters away from Nott once more.He looked at Nott and some of the heavily armed mercenaries in front of him, then said in a loud voice, “I’ve brought you the person, but the helicopter will take some time to arrive. Besides, it still needs to refuel, and that will take even more time.”While he said that, he unlocked Halvor’s handcuffs and pushed him slightly.Feeling relieved, Halvor sprinted forward. He stumbled several times before he got to Nott’s side.“Where’s Marion?” asked Halvor. “Did he leave the Capital already?”Nott cast a glance at him and did not say a word. He looked at the time.Nine minutes had passed.“There’s only one minute left, James. We'll fight to the death if I don't spot the helicopter within one minute.” Nott's voice rang out.“Bring it over,” James commanded.Soon after, a helicopter approached in the distance. “It’s already here,” said James, pointing at the distant sky.Nott looked up and saw that a

James was sitting in the helicopter, keeping track of the time and surveying his surroundings.About twenty minutes had passed. The helicopter had flown out of downtown and appeared in the suburbs.James believed that the Red Flame Army had already finished deploying within this time. He was also aware that there were satellites constantly monitoring this helicopter.After the helicopter had departed, the Red Flame Army's helicopters moved into position and appeared in the sky above Hope Villa District. There were snipers on every helicopter.The three thousand mercenaries below were already being aimed at.The mercenaries had observed the sky becoming densely packed with helicopters. However, they were not afraid at all. They were already prepared to die when they dared to come, but they did not take any rash actions either.As long as Nott could leave safely, their families would receive the money.At this moment, within the villa district, a horn was sounded.“People that ar
