James leaned on the bed, and before he knew it, he was fast asleep.He slept for a long time and was woken up.“James, wake up…”James opened his eyes and picked up his phone. He looked and saw that it was already six in the evening. He could not help asking, “What’s wrong?”Thea said, “There’s a visitor outside saying he has something to discuss with you.”“Who?”James turned around and got out of bed.Thea replied, “I don’t know.”“Alright. I’ll go out and have a look.”James got dressed, walked out of the room, and entered the living room.Sitting in the living room was a man in his sixties. He was a slightly chubby man dressed in a brown suit with short hair and a beard.James walked over suspiciously and inquired, “You are?”The person sitting on the sofa stood up immediately and said with a smile, “Hello, Emperor. I’m White Eagle, the Left Envoy of the Celestial Sect. My friends in the martial art world call me by the nickname Eagle King.”White Eagle beamed with a b

Three thousand disciples from the Celestial Sect. With these three thousand disciples, he would not have to worry about being unable to accomplish his goals.After a while, he calmed down and looked at White Eagle. Then, he further inquired, “What’s the reason your Sect Leader wants to help me?”White Eagle smiled and replied, “The Celestial Sect was established in response to the impending catastrophe. Our sect’s purpose is to uphold justice. Even though we’re all desperados, we stand for justice.”“Mhm, that’s reasonable.”James agreed with White Eagle’s words.He chatted with White Eagle for a long time.After talking for more than an hour, White Eagle left.James was completely relieved.He turned to Thea beside him and said with a smile, “With the help of both the Celestial Sect and the Mount Thunder Sect, everything will proceed much smoother. I’d like to see who dares to stand in my way.”Seeing James’ bright smile, Thea was satisfied.She had a sense of accomplishme

“Mrs. Lee, Mr. Sullivan, I’m sure you two are aware of the Capital’s current situation. The division of forces has gradually become clear. Several factions have begun to take action, and almost all major families and ancient martial artists have taken their stands.”Yasmine looked at Maxine and said softly, “Is the reason you asked to meet us to convince us to pick a side? I heard you did not hesitate to ask for the King’s help to stabilize your position as Caden’s family head.”“Ha, the King?”Maxine chuckled and said, “The current King is just a puppet. Although he has established his own circle of power during his reign, he does not have the power to stabilize my position as the family head. Someone else assisted me.”“Who?”Yasmine and Zaiden asked simultaneously.Maxine replied calmly, “The Celestial Sect.”The two stood up simultaneously and exclaimed, “The Celestial Sect?”“Yes,” Maxine replied honestly.Yasmine and Zaiden’s expressions became solemn.None of them spok

During this time, Maxine had deliberately gotten closer to the other family heads.The Cadens, Lee, and Sullivans out of the Ancient Four were the stronger families.As for the Johnstons, their Grand Patriarch, Yaakov, was killed by James, and their family had taken a serious blow in terms of strength.Moreover, one of their elders, Kennedy, was killed by Thea. The Johnstons were horrified and had been keeping a low profile.Maxine also knew it would be impossible to recruit them, so she did not bother wasting her time.The Lees and Sullivans were the two families she could try to win over.Maxine spoke for a long time.“I’ve already said enough. You two should think about it yourselves.”Yasmine stood up first and said, “I’ll seriously consider it. I’ll take my leave for now.”With that said, she turned and left.Zaiden also stood up and said, “We’ll meet again.”The two left together. Zaiden asked, “What do you think, Mrs. Lee?”Yasmine thought for a while and said, “Th

“But, I just feel something is off about them.”“What is?”“Do you not think so? Why would the Celestial Sect offer to help me? There’s no reason for them to do so. I suspect their Sect Leader is someone I know.Maxine replied with a smile, “Perhaps it’s your grandfather. Sir Caden is a very mysterious person and even created the God-King Palace. It’s not surprising if he also created the Celestial Sect. Isn’t that so, Thea?”“Yeah.”Thea nodded her head and said, “It’s possible. I also think the Celestial Sect’s leader is Sir Caden. Even if it’s not him, it must be his subordinate. Otherwise, why would they help James for no reason?”The two cooperated with each other.James was convinced by them.“Since that’s the case, I don’t have anything to worry about. By the way, I bumped into the family heads of the Lees and Sullivans at your gates. What’s that about?”Maxine explained, “It’s not a big deal. I simply chatted with them and asked them to pick a side. I tried to convince

There was no turning back.James really had no way out of the situation anymore.With the group of supporters standing behind him, he would have to push on down this path unswervingly.He nodded seriously and vowed, “I won’t let you down.”With James' word of reassurance, Delainey felt at ease.The three had a simple meal.After the meal, James hurriedly left and returned to the Red Flame Army base.Apart from James, Henry and Nathaniel also gathered in the Emperor’s office in the Red Flame Army base.James sorted out the internal list of the personnel of the Red Flame Army.Apart from Henry and Nathaniel, everyone else was suspicious.All of them were from different factions of either Orient Commerce, the Gu Sect, or the King.James looked at the list in his hands.On the list, there were two three-star generals.One was Graydon, the deputy commander who was promoted unknowingly. The other was Braxton Micah, who temporarily managed the Red Flame Army after the death of th

“But…”Suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and Gloom walked into the study.Seeing that Mia was also present, he quickly said, “I’ll come back later.”After speaking, he proceeded to leave.“Go ahead and report.” The King stopped Gloom from leaving.He turned to Mia and said, “Mia, go outside first. I’ve some business to settle.”“Okay.”Mia cast a glance at Gloom and turned to leave.After she left, the King asked, “What happened for you to come to me so late?”Gloom’s expression darkened as he explained, “News had just come in that the Red Flame Army has been dispatched.”“What?”The King stood up in shock and asked, “The Red Flame Army has been dispatched?”“Yes.”Gloom nodded and said, “One thousand Red Flame Army soldiers were dispatched. James recruited these soldiers from the Southern Plains.After several seconds, the King sat down and asked, “Who’s James targeting?”Gloom shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”The King said slowly, “Tonight won’t be a p
Chapter 1480
Graydon did not resist because he knew he might get killed if he did.James possessed the Blade of Justice and had the power to enforce the law without having to justify it first.Therefore, he chose to compromise.He believed the news would spread and someone would come to rescue him soon.The people who were standing behind him would not allow James to break the balance in the Capital.After James arrested Graydon, he did not choose to return to the military region. Instead, he headed straight to the courthouse. He planned to interrogate Graydon through the night and convict him. Then, James could kill him if he were to get the death sentence.James wanted to know what would happen after Graydon was killed.He would kill anyone who stepped up to interfere.While James was bringing Graydon to the courthouse, Lucjan sat on a sofa in his residence in the Capital.It was a courtyard house in the suburbs.Several fully-armed soldiers guarded the outside of the courtyard house.
