Chapter 707
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

Everyone remained silent. Though the newly appointed Elite Eight may not be familiar with James’ character, the opposite is true for Henry and Levi. They had followed James for many years. They knew James had never harmed a single innocent man. Now, he was being set up by someone. “What’s with your expressions?” James looked at them and said calmly, “This is no big deal. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have accepted the bribes or misappropriated the funds. I violated the law knowingly, and this is the consequence of it.” Eyes brimming with tears, Henry asked, “What should we do now, James?” Everyone was worried, especially the Elite Eight. So many things happened at once before they were familiar with their roles yet. James said calmly, “The higher-ups will investigate the matter thoroughly. If I’m lucky, I might simply be demoted or removed from my position. On the contrary, I might face imprisonment or even get executed..." "James..." James lightly waved a hand and

James grabbed the controller beside him and pressed a button. The pitch-black room was immediately illuminated. Finally, he could see the man’s appearance. It was a man around forty years old. He had a round face and thick eyebrows. Standing before James, the man seemed like a ferocious tiger. He had a menacing look in his eyes. James could feel he was no ordinary man. He rarely, if ever, had this feeling. Only when faced with true power would he have such a feeling. That meant that the man before him possessed true power. Besides, the man was able to infiltrate the Black Dragon Palace without alerting the Black Dragon army guards. James said feebly, “Something happened.” “Aren’t you Asclepius? Can’t you save yourself?” The middle-aged man seemed doubtful. James did not answer his question. After all, he did not know who the man before him was. However, he could roughly guess. Only the King of Sol’s subordinates would be here at such a time, after all. All

After the press conference, the Emperor hurriedly headed to Cansington to investigate the matter. He had been watching James’ every action. He knew of James’ misconduct in Cansington. He immediately went to find The Great Four, the Five Provinces Business Alliance, Infinite Commerce, and the others. With their testimony, it would be more than enough to convict James of his crimes. Before the sun had even risen, the Emperor had finished compiling the evidence. He immediately headed toward the Southern Plains with the Red Flame army. It was morning. James woke up. Although he slept for a whole night, he felt even more lethargic than ever before. He called Henry and gave him a few instructions. Henry then called for his men to prepare breakfast for James. Soon, breakfast was ready. The two feasted. However, the atmosphere was tense. Clack! Clack! Clack! The sound of boots could be heard. Henry turned his head. A middle-aged man walked in with a bunch of m

”The most corrupt figure in Sol has met his downfall!” “Breaking news! It’s now confirmed that James had been the behind-the-scenes owner of Transgenerational Group in Cansington. The company has now dissolved, and all of James’ assets have been confiscated.” “Based on our calculations, he misappropriated funds amounting to 10 trillion dollars.” … News of James’ arrest spread like wildfire. It stunned the entire nation. James was brought onto the Red Flame army’s private plane. On the plane, James leaned against his seat, unable to exert a single ounce of strength. “You win,” he croaked. “What do you mean, James? As one of the five commanders-in-chief and the Dragon King, you should know better than to violate the law knowingly. As the commander-in-chief of the Red Flame army and the head of the Five Commanders, arresting you is merely performing my duty. Please do not blame me for this.” A mischievous grin crept up on the Emperor’s face. “Let Thea go… Give her the
