“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

James raised his hand to stop Thea. “S-Sorry…” With an apologetic look on her wretched face, Thea apologized profusely, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for getting you involved.” “Send her back to Cansington, Henry.” James spoke with great difficulty. “I…” Upon hearing this, Thea cried out. Her eyes brimming with years, she looked at James pleadingly. “How can I leave knowing that you’re in such a state? Please let me stay. I can take care of you.” “Umm…” Henry was caught between a rock and a hard place. James glanced at Thea. Thea’s hair was disheveled. Her face was full of her own scratches. In addition to her previous injuries which had yet to recover from, she looked a little frightening. Her pitiful expression broke James’ heart. However, James no longer owed Thea anything. He did not wish to have anything to do with this woman anymore. Besides, before the revolution, he could not have any emotional entanglements with any women. Otherwise, they would once

At the Black Dragon Palace… James removed his clothes. At the moment, he was only in his undergarments. Silver needles were all over his body. He was trying to save himself. He used the silver needles and tried to force the Gus in his body out. However, after a whole day of work, it was no use. The Gus within his body were extremely minuscule. He could not remove them no matter how hard he tried. Once the Gus matured, he would be crippled. After all, the pill Reign forced him to consume was Gu larvae. There were countless Gus inside a single pill. Once consumed, the pill would dissolve in his stomach. Then, the larvae would be incubated immediately and become grown Gus. They would follow James’ blood flow and absorb all the nutrients in his body. James’ feeble strength could be attributed to the Gus sapping away his nutrients. James removed the silver needles with great difficulty. Then, he sat on the sofa and contemplated. It was a shame he knew nothing about G

“Not only that, it turns out that during the previous incident at Mt. Thunder Pass, the twenty-nation alliance paid war reparations amounting to 9 trillion dollars. However, the National Treasury only received a mere trillion. The rest entered the Black Dragon’s pockets! “The Internet is in an uproar.” Hearing this, James’ expression turned grim. Henry swiftly pulled his phone out and searched the keywords ‘Black Dragon’ in a browser. As expected, they were in the headlines of almost every newspaper. There were many shocking revelations. Many public figures on Twitter were retweeting the incident of James’ accusation letter. In the letter, every cent James misappropriated, every act he did, and every person he killed was clearly recorded. Seeing this, Henry’s face darkened. He said, “This is extremely disadvantageous to you, sir. Even if the higher-ups hold you in high regard, it will lead to public discontent once the content of the letter spreads. To appease the public,

Tonight would be a sleepless night for James. James, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Plains and one of the five commanders-in-chief of Sol, was a man who stood at the peak of the power pyramid. Not only was he the guardian of Sol, but he was also a national hero. He had just retaken Southern Plains City from the enemy without bloodshed. The citizens of Sol showered him with adulation. However, with a single accusation letter, he instantly became a pariah. The internet was in an uproar. Describing James as the cancer of the nation, he was severely reprehended. “Down with the Black Dragon!” At the Heavenly Palace of the Capital… This was the residence of the King of Sol, the Supreme Commander of the nation. In the courtyard of the residence, the Supreme Commander was wearing a gray suit. Though he was around fifty years of age and slightly chubby, he was energetic. He exuded a distinct aura. At the moment, he was sitting in a gazebo sipping his tea. Before

“Gloom.” He called out. A man in black robes appeared and kneeled before the King of Sol. “Sir.” “Head to the Southern Plains immediately. Tell James this…” The King of Sol stood up and whispered something in the man’s ear. “Understood.” Gloom got up and swiftly left. At the same time, at the General Assembly Hall of the Capital… All reporters of the Capital were present. At the front seats were the big shots of the Capital, which included Hendrix Hudson, the Secretary-General, Leroy Tucker, the Chief Executive, and the Emperor, the commander-in-chief of the Red Flame army. “General Secretary Hudson, may I ask what the higher-ups intend to do about the allegations against the Black Dragon?” A reporter questioned. Faced with countless cameras, Hendrix announced, “We will never tolerate such a crime. Corruption has been outlawed in Sol for thousands of years. Many dynasties fall because of their corrupt politicians. That is why we will severely punish all corrup
