Chapter 692
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

Quincy was drunk and fell unconscious. She did not know how long she had slept. She slowly woke up and rubbed her temples. After a while, she got up and realized she was in a hotel. Her bag and her laptop were on the table beside the bed. She pulled her phone out of the bag and looked at the time. It was four in the morning. “How did I get so drunk?” Her mind was a blur. She remembered James inviting her for a drink. She remembered telling him her thoughts. After that, her memory was blank. Quincy glimpsed at her phone and noticed the location it displayed. “Cansington? I’m back in Cansington?!” She was stunned. After a few seconds, realization dawned on her. Her eyes filled with tears. “James, you jerk…” She violently threw her phone onto the floor. It instantly smashed into pieces. She collapsed onto her bed and cried her eyes out. She remembered confessing her love to James. However, he sent her back here all the way to Cansington. James had rejec

Henry in his military uniform got off the helicopter. Behind him were the envoys of Sol. “Sir, the negotiations were a resounding success.” Henry walked over to James with a bright smile. They embraced and laughed out loud. “You’ve done well. From now on, the borders of the Southern Plains will be at peace, and you’ve become a national hero. Your name will go down in history and be remembered by Soleans for generations to come.” Henry smiled bashfully. “It’s all thanks to you, sir. I’m just an errand boy.” “Reporting~” At that moment, Levi ran over to them and saluted James. James acknowledged him. “What’s wrong?” Levi exclaimed ecstatically, “I heard from the Capital that the Supreme Commander and King of Sol are heading here to the Southern Plains to confer you a title.” James scratched his nose.“I’m already one of the five commanders-in-chief. What title is there left?” Henry beamed proudly. “Congratulations, sir.” “Alright now, stop kissing my *ss. Let’s hav
Chapter 699
The conferring of title was not disclosed to the public. Only a few were aware of the event. The Southern Plains’ military region was in a festive mood. “Congratulations, Dragon General…” Henry approached James with a bright smile. “No, wait. It should be the Dragon King now.” “Okay, I get it. Stop buttering me up.” James gestured for him to stop. He cared little about these titles. Levi walked over to him and asked, “What should we do about the hundred and forty cities handed over by the twenty-eight-nations?” James rubbed his temples. This was a difficult question. “Call for a conference.” James got up and headed to the conference room. In the conference room at the military region headquarters… The Elite Eight and the generals of the Black Dragon army gathered. James sat at the very front. Levi pulled out a document and read out loud, “Each of the twenty-eight-nations has ceded five cities to Sol. Although they are small in size, the combined area of the te
