Chapter 681
After hanging up the phone, James sent Jose’s bank account number to Scarlett. Meanwhile, Jose was looking at James. He was jealous of the wealth James possessed. Although he was from Ishkabar, he had heard of the Black Dragon. Businessmen who wished to conduct business in the Southern Plains had to pay a hefty protection fee to the Black Dragon all these years. All this while, the King of Sol turned a blind eye to it. Although Jose was a lieutenant, he was hesitant to act too out of line. If the higher-ups investigated the matter, his military career would be over. James flashed a smile to Jose who was sweating like a sinner in church. “Don’t be nervous. Relax. This is only between you and me. I’ve ordered someone to make the transfer. You’ll receive the money soon. Have some patience.” Jose wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Wh-What do you want me to do?” James replied, “Nothing much. Just bring me into the military region of Southern Plains City safely.” “That’s

James waved him off. “No need to worry. I can make human-skin masks. Just get me the necessary materials.” “Alright.” Jose nodded. “Have a rest here. I’ll prepare the stuff.” Jose turned to leave. While preparing the necessary material, Jose also handpicked men he could trust for the mission. Soon, he had completed his preparations. James began making the human-skin mask. It did not take long for the mask to be completed. Wearing the mask, James was now a middle-aged man with tanned skin. The night passed silently. The next morning, James headed toward Southern Plains City’s military region with a dozen soldiers. On an empty plot of land in the city’s military region, a hundred or so soldiers stood. These were capable fighters handpicked by the generals and the lieutenants. Pablo stood at the very front and looked at them. Wearing a satisfied look, he said, “Very good. From today onwards, you’ll be stationed outside the building. Do not leave your positions. Is th

James left many of these marks all over the military region. These marks were meant for assassins. Ordinary people would not be able to understand the secret code. James did not know how the others managed to sneak in. However, he did know that everyone had managed to infiltrate the city. That was because they left inconspicuous marks in the corners of the military region. Everything was now in place. All they had to do was to wait until nighttime. The generals of the twenty-eight-nations would soon meet their doom. If James and his assassins failed, however, this would be their final resting place. That was because the armed forces garrisoned here were too powerful. They were against elite troops of at least a hundred-thousand men. To put it simply, the odds were stacked against them. Not only that but a three-million-strong army was also stationed in Southern Plains City. They needed to succeed. Failure would mean death. As James was now the guard of the buildin

His objective was to lure James here and kill him. He was sure that James must have infiltrated Southern Plains City. He must be looking for an opportunity to sneak into the military region and assassinate the generals of the twenty-eight-nations. Floyd left feeling puzzled. He headed to the building in the military region and called for another meeting with the generals. He wanted to think of a way to lure James here. At the same time, in the kitchen of the military region… After the driver delivered the vegetables, the others began unloading them. The men from the kitchen walked over to them to help. “Take a break. Just leave everything to us.” The one unloading the goods quickly interjected to prevent the men in the kitchen from helping them unload. With a lighter workload, the men from the kitchen were more than willing to leave it to them. The driver and the person in the passenger seat began unloading the vegetables. The driver was none other than Midnight W
Chapter 685
This was the Southern Plains City’s military region. This was where the Black Dragon army was garrisoned. James was the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon army. Therefore, he knew the geographical landscape and the condition of the equipment here inside out. He knew that the generator would take a minute to activate in the event of a blackout. As such, he only had a minute to assassinate the generals of the twenty-eight-nations. However, it was nearly impossible to barge into the conference room and finish them off in just a minute. In the conference room, Floyd was in a discussion with the generals. All of a sudden, the room turned pitch black. The alarm rang urgently. Although the backup lights were activated almost immediately, the generals still panicked upon hearing the alarm. They grabbed their weapons and watched the entrance intently. Some even found a place to hide. “Don’t panic!” Floyd yelled, “Security is tight here. There’s no way that the Black

James had relayed all information about the military region to them before coming. This allowed May to know the place inside and out. She immediately ordered, “Cut off all connections of the conference room to the outside world and activate the defense system.” With a gun pressed against the back of his head, the person in charge obeyed her demands. James stood by the door of the conference room. After a while, he walked over to Floyd and asked, “Since everything’s fine now, do we keep watch outside or do we stay here?” Floyd was sitting on a chair wiping off the sweat from his forehead. He dismissed the soldier addressing him. “Keep watch outside. Stay vigilant!” “Understood.” James nodded and turned. The moment he turned, he opened fire. The soldiers guarding the door immediately collapsed into a pool of blood. At the same time, James immediately pulled out a gun and pressed it against Floyd’s head. The generals were all stunned by this unexpected situation. T

James was not convinced that Floyd had actually called the Emperor. However, he knew that even if the receiver of the call was not the Emperor, the real person must have been listening from somewhere else. No voice came from the phone. James continued despite the lack of response. “I don’t care what you’re after. I’ll definitely stop you.” “Beep!” The other party hung up the phone. “You’re not leaving here alive, Black Dragon.” Floyd looked at James and threatened him. “There’s a hundred thousand soldiers stationed outside, not to mention the three-million-strong army garrisoned in Southern Plains City. You made it all the way here, but don’t think you’re getting out of this alive.” “Is that so?” James gave him a smirk. “If I was able to get all the way here, then it stands to reason that there’s definitely a way out too. Oh, and by the way, this was the conference room of the Black Dragon army. I know it like the back of my hand. At the moment, I’ve cut off all connect

James continued, “Once the real battle begins, it won’t end that easily. The Black Dragon army will simply cross Mt. Thunder Pass and annihilate the twenty-eight-nations.” James’ every word struck fear in Pablo’s heart. Hearing that the twenty-eight-nations could be annihilated in the blink of an eye, he could not help but tremble. “I-I will give the order to retreat.” Pablo knew that their mission to kill the Black Dragon had failed. He also knew that the Black Dragon would not hesitate to kill him if he chose not to obey his order. Besides, once large-scale combat between the three-million-strong army and the Black Dragon army commenced, it would be bloody and hard-fought. In the surveillance room… Upon seeing this, a smile broke out on the faces of May and the other assassins. “We’ve done it!” “Yes. We can now leave this place alive.” “Huh… Sneaking into Southern Plains City where a three-million-strong army is garrisoned and assassinating the generals of the twe
