Chapter 1482
Sol was a country with strict laws and regulations.It would be troublesome to dismiss a chief justice by following the formal procedures.As for Graydon, James also did not go through the proper procedures.Otherwise, he would have to apply for a trial through the King. The King would issue a document and request several parties to approve it. James would only be able to arrest him after these parties had signed the document.The King hung up the phone.James pondered about it for a while.He thought controlling the courthouse was necessary to achieve his plans.In the future, the courthouse was going to be an important place.Thus, he did not want other factions to control the courthouse.After thinking about it, he called Maxine and said, “Maxine, I need you to investigate someone.”Maxine’s voice sounded from the phone. “Who?”“The chief justice of the courthouse, Francesco.”“Okay, no problem.”“Do it as soon as possible. Try to get me a result before dawn.”“Alright
Chapter 1483
“Eight years ago, you had a lover that got pregnant. She planned to give birth to the child, but you secretly got some people to abort the baby. Here’s the information on your lover’s treatment records in the hospital. We also have a DNA report of the unborn child.“Five years ago, you secretly took down a consortium and made a ten billion-dollar profit. Here’s the relevant evidence.”…Francesco looked at the presented evidence and read them out one by one.Hearing this, Graydon’s face paled. He roared, “Impossible! This is impossible! I’m being framed! I didn’t do this! I didn’t do any of it! I want to see Lance! I want to see the King!“You’re not qualified to trial me, James!“I’m a three-star general, James! You need an approved document from the King to arrest and put me on trial! Where’s the document? Without a document, you have no right to convict me!”Graydon panicked and kept shouting.James got up, walked toward Francesco, and picked up the large stack of documents.
Chapter 1484
The Mount Thunder Sect was supporting him.James did not want the Mount Thunder Sect to repeat the fate of the Gu Sect of a hundred years ago.He wanted to purge the country and restore peace in Sol.Although he did not think he was someone with strong integrity, things had already come to this point, and there was no way out for him.All forces had their eyes on the courthouse that night.“The latest news is that the Red Flame Army has surrounded the courthouse.“Our men couldn’t enter the courthouse, and we couldn’t find out what was happening inside.“We’re not sure how Graydon’s doing.”…All kinds of news spread to the various forces and families.Everyone was paying attention to the courthouse’s situation.However, none of them knew what was happening inside the courthouse.After James killed Graydon, he left the courthouse. He sat on the steps outside the courthouse and lit a cigarette.Henry walked over and sat beside him.Henry’s face darkened, and he asked, “Jam
Chapter 1485
Lance said indifferently, “That’s your problem. Go to the courthouse as soon as possible. I need to know what’s happening in there and what James is trying to accomplish.”Lance contemplated for a long time and decided not to get rid of James just yet.There would be no one to keep the Gu Sect in check and maintain a balance if James was gone.Lucjan was not a pushover.Lance was not confident in an absolute victory against Lucjan.Therefore, he could only use James to suppress Lucjan.Who James targeted was not important.He could easily promote another person in seconds. Thus, James’ actions were not of concern.“Understood. I’ll get going right now.”Tobias did not say anything more. He turned around and left, heading to the courthouse with the Phantom Army.“We’ve new intel that the Phantom Army has been dispatched.”“The commander, Tobias, is leading members of the Phantom Army to the courthouse.”The news spread like wildfire as soon as the Phantom Army was dispatched
Chapter 1486
Tobias’ current strength was within James’ expectations.Back then, he was already a seventh-ranked grandmaster.After ambushing Bennett and snatching the Spirit Turtle’s core, he disappeared for over two months.Since he appeared now, he must have refined the core and already stepped into the eighth rank. As for the Skyward Stairway he had ascended, James could not be sure.James never expected Tobias to take refuge in Orient Commerce.He used to be the mighty and superior family head of the Cadens.Yet, he served someone else now.James looked at Tobias, who appeared at the courthouse gate with members of the Phantom Army. He walked over and said coldly, “It’s you, Tobias. I was wondering who had shown up. Do you finally dare to expose yourself again? Aren’t you afraid of Bennett looking to take revenge against you?Tobias smiled and replied, “You must be joking, Emperor. Why would Grandpa need to take revenge against me?”“You can drop the act. The Cadens know you ambushed
Chapter 1487
Following Henry’s order, the soldiers surrounding the courthouse immediately evacuated. Henry also returned to the military region.James, Tobias, and several members of the Phantom Army were left in the courthouse.Inside an office room of the courthouse, James and Tobias sat opposite each other.The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.“What are you planning to do next, James?”Tobias spoke first and broke the silence.James fell into thought.His next step was to promote a new chief justice to take complete control over the courthouse and prepare for the subsequent trials of other prominent figures.He would need the approval of several parties if he wanted his candidate to take office.It would not be effective if only the King agreed to it.He looked around before setting his gaze on Tobias. After a while, he said, “Next, I’d like to take control of the courthouse. I need a new chief justice to take over. Go back and tell Lance that if he wa

Lance dismissed everyone from the room.Only Lance and Tobias were left in the room.He looked at Tobias and said, “What’s the matter? You can talk now.”“Sir, it’s about…”Tobias approached Lance and whispered, “Do you still remember last time…”While speaking, Tobias secretly accumulated his whole body’s True Energy into his palm behind his body.Then, he suddenly thrust his palm into Lance’s chest.Tobias was an eighth-ranked grandmaster.An eighth-ranked grandmaster’s attack containing full strength was destructive.Lance’s whole body curved and was blasted away.Bang!His body slammed into the wall, shattering it.Then, his body continued to fly backward.After smashing through several walls, his body finally fell into the ruins, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.There were many people in the surrounding area.The sudden movements caught their attention, and they immediately drew their swords.“Tobias, you…”He roared furiously.Lance climbed up from the rubbl

“This old man has been controlling everything from behind the scenes for a hundred years. I’ve been dissatisfied with him for a long time.” Sky looked at Lance's lifeless body on the ground.“I’ve already helped you kill him. Where’s the thing you promised?”“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely give you what belongs to you.” Sky cast a glance at Tobias.“That won’t do. You promised to give it to me immediately after killing him. Are you going to go back on your word?”With a hostile expression, Tobias drew his sword and pointed it at Sky. He said coldly, “Don’t force me to attack you.”Sky said calmly, “Come with me.”Tobias put away his sword and followed Sky.Sky led Tobias to an underground basement in the backyard.There was a mechanism in the secret underground basement. Sky unlocked it and took out a box.He opened up the box, and there was a lump of meat.It was the size of a fist and was stained with blood that had already dried up.Seeing the core, Tobias was ecstatic.Sk
