Chapter 827
If he had the choice, James would have chosen to return to ten years ago before the Cadens’ residence was razed to the ground. His life would have taken a different turn. In this alternate timeline, he would most likely end up with Quincy and spend the remainder of his life with her. However, time and tide wait for no man. Since these were the cards he was dealt, he had no choice but to play the game as best as he could. “James, you should return to the Southern Plains. Don’t worry about me. I have the hospital’s nurses to care for me.” Tiara knew that James had been reinstated. He was no longer the Black Dragon, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Plains. He was now the Dragon King. James nodded. Returning to the Southern Plains and regaining control of the Black Dragon Army was far more important than his personal feelings. “I’ll give Quincy a call before leaving.” James fished out his phone and dialed Quincy’s number. Quincy had just finished work and was ab

Thea grit her teeth furiously. It was as if she had turned into a completely different person at that moment. “We simply aren’t meant to be, Thea.” “Mark my words,” Thea’s eyes burned with hatred as she glared at James. “You’ll regret this, James. I promise you!” She stomped out of the door, scorned and upset. The ward was once again enveloped in silence. Tiara did not utter a single word throughout the entire argument that happened in front of her. After Thea left, she urged James to follow her, “What are you doing, James? You should chase after her!” James simply shook his head. He had already laid everything out for Thea, there was no need to chase after her now. As long as Thea did not rock the boat too much, James was content to leave things the way they were. “Rest well and get better soon. Once I return from the Southern Plains, I’ll come to visit you.” James had finally left the ward. He immediately headed toward the military region to look for Blithe Ki

Thea looked at the man who claimed to be Thomas Caden in bewilderment. Despite having been married to James, Thea knew nothing about the Cadens. After all, James had never disclosed any of this, to begin with. Even after discovering James’ true identity, he never brought it up with Thea. What she was sure of was the news that there were no survivors in the fire that claimed the Cadens’ residence. With this fact in mind, she could not figure out how Thomas managed to survive. That aside, she was not entirely sure what a God-King Palace was. She asked him apprehensively, “A-Are you really Thomas Caden?” “Who else would I be then?” Thomas met Thea’s stare head-on. Thea followed up with another question. “What’s the God-King Palace?” Thomas answered plainly, “All you need to know is that it’s a force to be reckoned with. By becoming the young mistress of the God-King Palace, you’ll be the most powerful woman in the world.” Thea was taken aback. Then, she exclaimed, “So yo

Thea left her car and immediately headed toward the hospital. However, when she arrived at the ward, James was nowhere to be seen. Looking at Tiara who was lying in her bed, she asked, “Where’s James?” Tiara tried to get up but the bandages that were covering her body made it almost impossible to sit up. With a feeble voice, she responded to Thea, “J-James has returned to the Southern Plains.” “The Southern Plains? What for?” Thea had not expected this development. “James told me he was going to regain control over the Black Dragon Army. After he’s done that, he plans to return to the Capital and kill the Emperor using the Blade of Justice” “Kill the Emperor?” Thea’s jaw hung open in shock. Thomas had told her that chaos would ensue once the Emperor died. He also told her that everything would be over for James when he makes his move. “Th-Thea, actually…” The bedridden Tiara tried to gather her strength so she could explain things to Thea. Alas, she had taken too much

Meanwhile, at the Cansington Military Region...In an open area, a helicopter was at the ready.On the ground beneath the helicopter… “James, congratulations on regaining your former position! Now you’re off to the Southern Plains to resume your command of the Black Dragon Army. If the news gets out, the people of Sol will seethe with excitement.” The Blithe King laughed as he patted James’ broad shoulders.James, however, had a look of resignation on his face.Regaining a former position may have appeared to be a good thing, but the higher the rank, the greater the burden. Furthermore, once he was in command of the Black Dragon Army, he would have to lead them into the Capital, obtain the Blade of Justice and kill the Emperor.What would happen after the Emperor's death was still unknown.“I’m hoping nothing major happens after this,” he said apprehensively.“What could possibly happen?” The Blithe King chuckled. “In any case, if something goes wrong, someone higher up will t

“What‘s the plan?” May asked.“After everything that has happened, I feel like a pawn that is constantly being controlled,” James explained. “It’s not a good feeling. I feel like I could die at any time. I don’t think you should return to the Southern Plains anymore.”“Hm?”They furrowed their brows. He continued, “You’re all capable and strong. Your mastery of martial arts has reached the pinnacle of External Martial Arts, and you’re only a few steps away from cultivating True Energy and becoming grandmasters. I’ll impart the Internal Cultivation Method to you later on.”Everyone rejoiced upon hearing his words.They had already heard about the Internal Cultivation Method from Blake.The Elite Eight was very powerful indeed, but in comparison to the Grandmasters of the Internal Cultivation Method, they were far too weak. The disparity was comparable to that of a child versus an adult.“I’m not sure which of the bigwigs in the Capital caused this change or what they’re schemin

“Hail to the Dragon King! Hail to the Dragon King! Hail to the Dragon King…”A chorus of cheers reverberated throughout the area as soon as James stepped off the helicopter. The voices came in waves, each one louder than the last.He looked straight ahead at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him, raised his hand, and gave a single downward wave.The cheers ceased abruptly.Then, a few generals dressed in military uniforms approached him.“Hail to the Dragon King,” Henry spoke first, a brilliant smile on his suntanned face. “We’ve been looking forward to this day for so long. The long-awaited Dragon King has finally returned.”“You brat. When did you learn to be such a glib talker?” James clenched his fist and gently tapped Henry on the chest.“Hehe.” Henry laughed mischievously.“Let’s go.”James turned around and left.The Elite Eight was close behind, followed by the other generals.James prepared transportation for The Elite Eight to leave the borders of Sol f

The woman appeared to be in her twenties. She was dressed in a military uniform and had a bob haircut. She radiated bravery and heroism.“James,” she walked up to him and addressed him sweetly.James was sitting on the sofa. He took a look at her, then at Henry, and laughed. “Not bad. Your efforts have paid off. So, when are you getting married?”Henry’s face flushed. “We’re not…”At that moment, he was pinched. He quickly corrected himself, “Soon. It’ll happen soon.”“James, how’s it going with you and Thea?” Whitney asked as she sat down with a bright smile on her face.James shook his head slightly. He was not interested in talking about his own matters.Henry sat down and gave Whitney a gentle shove. She understood and did not ask any further questions. “Come, drink with me.” James raised his wine glass.Henry followed suit and clinked his glass against James’. "Mr. Caden, today is the anniversary of General Kimberly's death. Let's go pay our respects," Henry said abrup
