Pablo trembled uncontrollably. Then, he staggered and stumbled out of central command. He hastily gave the order to retreat. The allied forces of the twenty-eight-nations withdrew as quickly as they could. At the same time, James called Henry and instructed him to lead the Black Dragon army toward Southern Plains City and garrison it. Overnight, all armed forces of the twenty-eight-nations had retreated. The Black Dragon army retook Southern Plains City. In the wee hours of the morning the next day… James, who was in his Black Dragon robe, was in the conference room of the Southern Plains military region. “Levi, lead the Black Dragon army and screen the perimeter in a four hundred kilometer radius. If you find any remaining enemy forces, shoot on sight.” “Understood.” Levi instantly stood up and gave the order. Since James had given the allied forces of the twenty-eight-nations time to withdraw, he would have no mercy on those who remained. It was now seven in t

However, the reporters gathered in front of the Black Dragon Palace had spotted the convoy. “A convoy.” “It must be the Black Dragon.” “Hurry!” They made a mad dash toward the convoy and surrounded it before it could leave. “What should we do now?” The driver asked. James knew there was no way they’d let him leave without getting a few words out of him. He opened the car door and got out of the convoy. He was wearing the titular Black Dragon robe that had embroidery of a life-like black dragon on it. A five-star badge adorned his robe. “Dragon General!” Besides the reporters, there were many citizens of Sol. The moment James stepped out of the car, he was greeted with cheers and praises. A group of reporters surrounded James. Their cheeks were red, and they had a look of excitement on their faces. Finally, they got to lay their eyes upon the guardian of Sol. “Dragon General, could you tell us what happened last night?” A reporter began questioning him. J

James yawned. His exhaustion seeped into his very bones. He needed to rest. After sating the curiosity of the relentless reporters, he turned and got on the convoy. He spoke to the driver once again, “Alright, let’s get going. Enter the Black Dragon Palace.” “Understood.” The driver restarted the engine. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, it slowly made its way into the Black Dragon Palace. News of James’ interview spread. It was translated into different languages all over the world. In the Callahans’ residence in Cansington… Thea just woke up. She had not been sleeping well recently. She had been keeping tabs on the situation at the battlefield every moment she could. She prayed that bloodshed could be avoided. After a few days of inactivity on the battlefield, she began to feel relieved. “Thea, quick! Over here! Something big’s happened!” She heard David yelling for her the moment she got out of her room. She had been listless all this while. She could

The Emperor was furious. Several women knelt on the floor quivering in fear. After letting out his frustrations, the Emperor composed himself. He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. He devised this plot to kill James. Now, not only was he not dead, he had even performed a great service for Sol. With greater fame and prestige, it would be even harder to kill him now. James had to die. Smoking his cigarette, he thought of ways to finish James off. “Looks like I need to turn to that old man for help.” After a long while, the Emperor murmured. He stood up hastily. “Prepare the car.” The Emperor left the Capital and headed toward a mountain in the suburbs. The mountain was called the Five Monasteries Mountain, named for the monastery at its peak. The Emperor headed to the top of the mountain. In a room of the monastery… There was a meadow, on which a 70-year-old-looking man sat. Wearing a white robe and white hair and a white beard, he exuded a sagely aura.

In the Black Dragon Palace in the Southern Plains… James was severely lacking in sleep. The moment he reached the Black Dragon Palace, he immediately made a beeline toward his bed and fell fast asleep. He slept throughout the day. Growl~ His stomach rumbled. James got up and rubbed his tummy. He looked outside. The sky was already dark. Then, he grabbed his phone and looked at the time. It was eight in the evening. He noticed there were quite a few missed calls and messages. They were all from Quincy. He frowned and murmured, “What’s this woman up to?” He ignored the messages. He simply got dressed and left. Many ordinary citizens and reporters gathered outside the Black Dragon Palace. Some were holding bouquets, while others held banners up high. Many fully-armed soldiers guarded the entrance of the Black Dragon Palace. With their backs straightened, they were there to keep the crowd in check. James’ biggest worry was people causing a fuss about him.

Soon, James had finished eating. He wiped his lips. “Alright now, you’re free to go. Call the assassins here.” “Alright.” Levi quickly cleared up the dishes. After that, he left. Soon, May and the others were here. Looking at the assassins before him, James said, “We can drop the formalities, guys. Have a seat.” Hearing this, they took their seats. When they faced James back in Cansington, they did not feel that intimidated by him. Now, facing him as the Black Dragon in his Black Dragon robe, they could feel an inexplicable pressure. It was suffocating. James looked at them. “You were instrumental to the assassination of the enemy generals. I’ve written an application to the higher-ups requesting that you be given a position. Once they agree to it, you’ll be deputy commanders of the Black Dragon army— the elite of the elite.” This was a high-ranking position. This was proof that James recognized their abilities. The assassins were over the moon at the news. “Tha

After giving them brief instructions, James dismissed them. The Black Dragon Palace once again fell into silence. James headed to the rooftop on the third floor. Leaning against a chair, he smoked his cigarette while gazing at the starry sky. He thought of the people in Cansington. Although he was in the Southern Plains, his heart was in Cansington. He wondered if he would ever have the opportunity to return to Cansington. At that moment, he wanted to drink. However, Henry was not around. He headed downstairs and went to the wine cellar. He grabbed a few bottles of wines given to him by merchants in the past and returned to the rooftop. He drank by himself in the quiet of the night. At that moment, a person came to mind. He pulled his phone out and called Quincy. Quincy has been outside the Black Dragon Palace for a whole day. Despite that, James gave her no attention whatsoever. As a result, she returned to her hotel room. She was just done showering. In

Quincy walked over to James. She wore a red slip dress that exposed her shoulders. Her red curly hair flowed in the wind. Her facial features were fine and exquisite, and the lipstick she wore complimented her beauty. She smirked at James who was sitting in a chair with wine bottles on the floor. “You look like you’re having a great life.” James got up and gestured to the seat beside him, “Have a seat. No need to be formal.” Quincy sat opposite James. She adjusted her dress slightly and covered her legs to prevent herself from flashing him with her underwear. James did not notice her minute actions. He grabbed a bottle of wine and tossed it to her. Then, he smiled at her. “I’m bored of drinking this by myself. I need someone to talk to.” Quincy noticed that the alcohol content in the bottle James handed her was quite high. “I can’t drink this. Do you have red wine?” “Yes, hold on. I’ll go get some.” James got up and went to the wine cellar to grab a few bottles of red w
