Chapter 698
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

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

The King of Sol had conferred James the title of Dragon King and gave him authority to manage the newly acquired cities. Everyone gave their own suggestions on how to best manage the cities. “In that case, we need to have a proper plan. However, since we’re all military men, we know little about this. We should seek assistance from some brilliant and capable politicians from inland here to help us administer the cities.” Henry asked, “What should we name our cities then? You’re the Dragon King, the one who rules over these cities. You should be the one naming them.” “Just come up with random names.” James tried to dismiss him. He could not care less about naming the cities. Henry persisted. “That won’t do. This has historical significance. This event will go down in the history books and be read by Soleans for generations to come. We must give this the consideration it deserves.” “What about Theaville?” James suggested. Henry rolled his eyes. “Seriously, James? Will y

James’ face was contorted with rage, and a vein popped out in his neck. He did not expect that someone would abduct Thea and use her to blackmail him despite having divorced her. However, he remained composed. He called Jay, who was far away in Cansington. Jay was currently entertaining a guest. At that moment, his phone rang. Realizing it was James who called, he immediately headed toward a desolate area. “Dragon General, what seems to be the matter?” “Jake, investigate Thea’s current whereabouts for me.” Jay froze for a brief moment. Almost immediately, however, he nodded. “I’ll give you an answer in five minutes.” Though he did not know what had happened, he felt something was not quite right with James’ tone. After hanging up the phone, he immediately contacted the underground intelligence network. Once Ronald had withdrawn from the place, Jay’s men had once again taken over the network. James waited patiently after calling Jay. Five minutes soon passed. “Si

Looking at the unknown men in front of the wooden house, James frowned and walked over to them. “Halt.” The men blocked James’ path. One of them walked over to him and said coldly, “Search him.” James was not sure whether Thea was abducted here. He chose not to act recklessly and allowed his enemy to search him. James did not bring any weapons. All he brought were some silver needles and the steel wire formed by the Crucifier. However, all of the silver needles and even the Crucifier were confiscated. Glancing at his enemy, he said coldly, “You better take good care of my belongings. If even a single silver needle is missing, I’ll tear you to pieces.” After he said that, he entered the wooden house. Clap! Clap! Clap! The moment he walked in, someone clapped. The elderly man stood up while clapping and said smilingly, “How brave of you to come, James. I’m really impressed.” James saw Thea who was sitting on a chair. She was not tied up, nor were there signs th

“I’ll kill you!” James roared. He stood up menacingly and charged at Reign. Grabbing Reign by his throat, James lifted him off the ground. Color immediately drained out of Reign’s face. However, he did not panic. “J-James, you better think twice about killing me. Once I’m dead, Thea will continue to suffer excruciating pain. Though you’re highly skilled in the art of medicine, this is a Gu that I’ve raised for thirty years. There’s no way you can remove it.” Reign’s voice was feeble. “James, it hurts…!” Thea rolled on the floor tearing at her hair. She could feel that there were many insects inside her brain eating away at her medulla. The pain was unbearable. Thea’s cry of anguish calmed James down. He slowly loosened his grip. Reign’s body was limp. He sat on the chair and gently rubbed his neck. Then, he looked at James with a mischievous grin on his face. James questioned coldly, “What do you want me to do?” Reign took a small bottle out and placed it on a

“Hahaha!” Reign laughed. “Your Holiness, these are James’ belongings.” A man walked over to Reign and showed him the silver needles and the tiny steel wire which were found on James. Reign glanced at the items. Though he was skilled at parasitic venoms, he knew nothing about the art of medicine. He felt that he had no use for these items. He was unaware of what the Crucifier was capable of. He simply tossed the items beside James and said coldly, “Return him his belongings.” His henchman asked, “Why don’t we kill him straight away?” “I wanted to.” Reign sighed. “He’s still a Caden, after all. Caden’s blood runs through his veins. Besides, I promised someone I’d spare his life. Now that he’s no longer a threat, it should be fine. Just leave him to his own devices.” Then, Reign turned to leave. Thea no longer had a headache. She knew that Reign had fed her another poison. However, she was still fine at the moment. With disheveled hair, she stood up and staggered h

James could not exert any strength, so he sat on the chair and rested. He closed his eyes. He remembered seeing records of the Gu in the medical books he had read. A Gu was only one of many poisonous insects. As far as he was aware, raising a Gu was an arduous task. One would need to capture many poisonous insects and make them kill each other. The last insect standing would then be a Gu. Meanwhile, different Gus had different effects. James did not know what kind of Gu was inside his body. After diagnosis, he found that his body was in perfect health. No anomalies were found. The reason why he could not exert any strength was that there were many Gus within his blood and limbs. Only by removing them from his body could his body recuperate. However, he had only briefly read through the documents in the medical books that were incomplete. He had no way to remove the Gus. Sitting on a chair, Thea looked at James who was frowning with his eyes shut. She did not utter
