“He’s wearing a black robe… He’s a general of the Southern Plains! What is he trying to accomplish by appearing with the Blade of Justice at James’ trial? Is he trying to exonerate James with the sword?” The crowd was heatedly in a discussion. Meanwhile, James sat at the defendant’s stand and smiled. Seeing the Blade of Justice, the Emperor’s face darkened. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Henry announced, “Though Sol is a country with a rule of law, many are able to escape justice by finding loopholes. The Blade of Justice serves to execute these wicked criminals and give them what they deserve.” Henry said with great confidence, “The Black Dragon, commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon army, has upheld Solean law by executing all those who escaped justice. The former heads of the Great Four of Cansington were executed due to a massacre ten years ago. “Ten years ago, the Cadens, the most powerful and influential family in Cansington, were burned alive. The mastermind

Under everyone’s gaze, James pulled out the Blade of Justice.He looked at the Blade of Justice and pointed it at the Emperor.“What?”The masses were shocked by his actions.The Emperor was stunned. His heart palpitated as cold sweat beaded his forehead.After a few seconds, he calmed down and shouted, “What is the meaning of this, James? You’re pointing your weapon at me. Are you implying that you want to kill me?”James smiled. “Emperor, you’re overthinking this. I was just casually waving it around.”He was holding up the Blade of Justice, which weighed more than five kilograms. His arm had gone weak, and his face gradually turned pale as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Wielding the Blade of Justice took all his strength.He reluctantly put it down.Many sighed in relief.Henry looked at everyone again. “I’ve said everything I needed to.”After speaking, he walked to an empty seat below and sat down.The jurors in the higher seats began to debate.“What should w

No one expected him to be a national hero who sympathized with the poor and dedicated his life to protecting the nation. A person like him ended up with such a miserable fate.Thousands of people gathered outside the courthouse. All of them lowered their heads in silence. Many women secretly wept for him.“James…”A voice came from behind him. James turned around and saw Henry chasing after him.Henry approached him and asked, “Where are you going, James?”James raised his hand weakly and patted Henry’s shoulder, saying, “I appreciate you. You don’t need to worry about my affairs anymore. Go back to the Southern Plains. Someone needs to be there to manage the hundred and fifty cities. Don’t let the Southern Plains fall into chaos.”“But, you…”James waved his hand and interrupted Henry. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’ll take this opportunity to have a really good rest. I’m exhausted. Incredibly exhausted.”James reassured him and turned to leave.The people at the entrance

The public trial that shook the whole nation was finally over.James’ crimes were listed during the trial. However, the allegations were cleared off one by one.As for accepting the bribes… James admitted to committing the crime.However, the money he acquired was distributed to the Black Dragon Army and used to establish the Transgenerational Group to give back the money to the commoners. Although it was illegal, he gained the support of the people.The Black Dragon had a Black Dragon card and was not short on money. However, he still knowingly broke the law to give back to the country.After the public trial, James collapsed. No one knew why it happened.However, the public knew that from that moment onward, Sol had lost their War God and a great commander devoted to the country.During the public trial, James used all his strength to hold up the Blade of Justice and put it back in place.After leaving the courthouse, he walked through a path surrounded by people about two

James gently shook his head.He did not blame anyone.Even without Thea, the Emperor would have found another way to deal with him. If it was not her, it would have been someone else.“By the way, are you alright? Are you feeling better?”Thea shook her head. “I-I don’t feel any discomfort and should be fine for the time being.”Hearing this, James felt relieved.The Gu in Thea’s body was not as vital as his, and she was not in immediate danger.“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…wah…”Thea was at a loss for words and could only keep apologizing in front of James.“It’s okay. It isn’t a big deal. Aren’t I still fine? I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?”“I-I’ll go get something for you.”Thea did not know what she could do for James. Hearing that he was hungry, she quickly left the ward to get him food.After Thea left, the ward returned to silence.James leaned on the bed. He weakly raised his hand and massaged his temples. He had a lot of things to do next.However, th

Scarlett panicked. “I’ll die without your protection, James.”Scarlett was a grave robber. She and her companions robbed the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb.A lot of buzz about the ancient tomb was spreading in the criminal world like wildfire. In the past, she was the Transgenerational Group’s chairman. Thus, no one came knocking on her door. Now that the Transgenerational Group had fallen, people from the underworld would surely be after her.She would die if she returned now.James’ face was pale as he replied weakly, “I can’t protect you with the way I am right now. How about you go to Cansington and look for the Blithe King? Ask him to arrange a position for you. He is one of the Five Commanders, and I’m sure no one will trouble you with him as your backbone.”Since James had already devised a plan for her, Scarlett had no complaints.James glanced at Quincy and said, “You should also return to Cansington.”“No.”Quincy refused.At that moment, Thea returned wit

The footsteps were light.Although James' health was declining, his senses had not been dulled. He rolled off the bed and tip-toed out of the ward. He scanned the hallways and approached the staircase.When he reached the staircase entrance, he immediately noticed a man dressed in a black coat and duckbill hat, deliberately covering up his appearance. The man leaned against the wall and waited for James to approach. “The King has requested for me to check on you. Are you alright?” a hoarse voice asked.James stood beside him. His body was unstable, and he had to resort to leaning against the wall to reduce his burden.James wore a grim expression as he explained, “My body is in a critical condition. I was poisoned with Gu. My body is weak and will slowly deteriorate until I’m completely paralyzed. I’ll have to await my death in pain while bedridden.”“Gu?” Gloom was shocked.“How can this be? Haven’t these cultlike practices been destroyed a hundred years ago? How is it pos

James was deeply absorbed in his thoughts.He was processing the information Gloom had shared about the Gu raisers that existed a hundred years ago.‘They wanted to control the world with Gus?’Quincy’s voice startled him. He raised his head and glanced at Quincy standing at the ward door. “How did you not even make a sound? Are you trying to scare me to death? “Where did you go?” Quincy looked at him suspiciously and walked out of the ward to scan the surroundings. Seeing no one outside, she walked back into the ward with her arms folded. “It’s already so late. Who did you sneak out to see?” asked Quincy.James yawned. Then, he walked to the hospital bed and muttered, “I’ve slept so long and felt a little stuffy, so I went for a walk.”“Is that so?”Quincy looked at him in disbelief.James lay down and nodded. “Of course, what else could it be?”“Fine.”Quincy refrained from asking any more questions. However, she could sense that James had a secret meeting with someone.
