Chapter 669
Ten years ago, Thea got completely disfigured after trying to save him from the flames. He repaid her for saving his life by giving her ten billion dollars. He no longer owed her anything. Now, however, he owed another young maiden. As a man, it was only right for him to admit his mistakes. Back then, he was still married to Thea. Therefore, he could not make any promises. Now, after having divorced Thea, he had to return to the battlefield to take charge of the situation. Looking at Tiara, the young maiden who experienced fate’s cruel joke, James gave his assurance. With his promise, Tiara was now at ease. She knew that James, as the guardian of Sol, would keep his word. “I will wait for you in Cansington. I await your safe return.” James did not stay for a chat. Immediately, he turned to leave and got back into the car. Tiara got off the road, and the jeep continued on its journey. Soon, they arrived at the military region of Cansington. A helicopter was on st

Now that war had broken out once more, their people’s livelihoods must have suffered tremendously. “Henry, what’s your take on this? Why did the twenty-eight nations attack Sol?” James looked at Henry. Although Henry’s injuries had not recovered fully, he was now able to walk. With war breaking out in the Southern Plains, he followed James here. Henry thought long and hard about this. After a while, he said, “I think something’s amiss. They justified their war goal by pointing to the lives that were lost in the hijacking incident. I think someone must have arranged for it.” James nodded. Henry’s analysis was spot on. “Who do you think it is, then? What’s their objective?” James questioned. “The one behind the scenes should know that, despite entering into an alliance, the military power of the twenty-eight nations combined is no match for Sol. They should understand that once Sol gets its act together, crushing the twenty-eight nations is but a piece of cake.” Saying that

Sol had never been afraid of wars. Neither had James. However, he knew that war would only bring suffering to the common folk. He was an advocate for peace. He would gladly resort to other means if war could be averted. Even though the Southern Plains City had fallen to the allied forces of the twenty-eight nations, James did not act impulsively. He did not mobilize his troops to retake the lost territories. Instead, he opted to thoroughly investigate the matter. He wanted to know the chain of events that led to the incident. He did not wish to be used as a mere pawn. To get to the bottom of the incident, they would first have to know the background of the deceased and whether their visit to Sol was a mere coincidence or arranged for by someone behind the scenes. At this moment, the Black Dragon army was unable to cross into other countries to investigate. Therefore, this responsibility fell on the assassins. They were experienced assassins who roamed the world. Bes

She weltered with tears every night. She walked out of her room listlessly. Gladys, Benjamin, Alyssa, and David were in the living room. Although David’s injuries were not completely healed, he was discharged from the hospital and was now back home recovering. “Thea…” David called out to Thea and rebuked her, “Why didn’t you tell me about your divorce with James? If you had told me about it, I would’ve stopped you.” Thea walked over to him and sat on the sofa listlessly. Her face was devoid of any emotion. She looked at David and asked, “What? Don’t tell me you knew about James’ true identity.” David shook his head. “Not really. It happened before I was admitted to the hospital and was captured by the Watsons. Back then, James had come to save us, remember? After getting you out, he returned for me. It was then that I saw him kill Gavin and mercilessly beat Zavier to a pulp. After that, the Blithe King came to clean up the mess. He even announced to the public that he m

In the commander-in-chief’s office in Lavender Town’s military district at the Southern Plains… James, wearing his Black Dragon robe, was looking through documents. Knock! Knock! Knock! Knocks came from the door. “Come in.” Henry walked in with a file and handed it to James. “This is information regarding the allied forces of the twenty-eight nations. The generals and the commander-in-chief of this campaign are listed on it.” James opened the file. The commander-in-chief of the twenty-eight nations’ allied forces is a five-star general by the name of Pablo Qadir from Ishkabar. Pablo was born into a family with a military background. However, during the unrest in Ishkabar twenty years ago, his family was accused of treason against the state. As such, both his father and grandfather were executed. He alone survived and became a commoner. Relying on his efforts, he became a soldier and climbed to the rank of a five-star commander-in-chief. James had never fought

A voice spoke, “The Black Dragon has sent his subordinates to the twenty-eight nations to investigate the background of the deceased of the hijacking incident. As his subordinates are competent people, they should get to the bottom of it soon.” Pablo asked, “What should we do now?” “We’ll stay put. Let him investigate. The more he finds out, the better. I know him well. He’s an advocate for peace. Once he finds out, he’ll make his way here and try to deal with the current crisis without any unnecessary bloodshed. That will be when he meets his doom.” “Understood.” Pablo nodded. They hung up the call. Looking at the generals, Pablo instructed, “You heard him. We’ll stay put. Order your men to behave. Do not do anything they aren’t instructed to.” “Understood.” The generals nodded. At the same time, James, Henry, and Levi left Lavender Town in secret and headed toward the outskirts of the Southern Plains City where the hijacking incident occurred. A jeep that was driv
Chapter 675
Everything had happened all of a sudden. Levi did not have time to react. He thought that the twenty-eight nations were merely bluffing. Hence, when they attacked the Southern Plains City, he was caught with his pants down. James did not blame him for this. “Since there’s nothing we can find here, let’s return for now.” James got onto the jeep. Henry and Levi followed suit. They returned to Lavender Town, By the time they arrived, it was already noon. To prevent the allied forces of the twenty-eight nations from launching another attack, James began making preparations to defend the city. After the preparations were made, he waited. After James returned to the Southern Plains, the world paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield. However, days passed, and nothing happened. The twenty-eight nations did not launch another attack, nor did the Black Dragon army take the fight to them. Many military experts all over the world were analyzing the battle.

“Mhm.” James nodded. “All our intelligence reports point toward a single man.” “Who?” Henry and Levi were perplexed. “Commander-in-chief of the Red Flame army, the Emperor.” James uttered grimly. “What?” They exclaimed in shock. Stunned, Henry asked, “The Emperor? How can that be? He’s a Solean. Are you saying he planned all this just to get you killed?” “I’m afraid it’s not as simple as that.” James wore a solemn expression. He still could not figure out what the Emperor was up to. He only knew that he was on the move. Back then, during the incident at Mt. Thunder Pass, he was forced to head into a trap after Henry had been kidnapped and fought against the elite fighters from the twenty-eight nations. The mastermind behind this incident was the Doctor King. The Doctor King, a.k.a, Jonathan Harris was one of the Emperor’s men. Ronald's findings revealed that Jonathan and the others were secretly constructing a research laboratory in Cansington. The laboratory
