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

"I shouldn’t have blamed him."Delilah looked at the grave with sorrow upon her face and spoke softly, “I always thought he was a good-for-nothing. I didn’t dare mention him in front of others because I was afraid of being laughed at, but… I didn't expect him to be a hero.”Tears started to gather at the corner of her eyes while she talked.When she realized James was the Black Dragon at the Cansington medical conference, she was overcome with emotion.The Black Dragon was her father’s superior. That was why she put her own safety aside to work as James' assistant, despite knowing she could have died.She had planned to ask James about her father after the conference.However, James had already left before the medical conference was over.“Can you… Can you tell me more about him?”“Sure.” He nodded.In front of the grave, he spoke about Travis and some of his deeds.“I remember once when I was drinking with him, he said he had a daughter,” Henry recalled. “He said he felt te

Both of them frowned upon hearing that.“The King issued a secret order for James to return to the Southern Plains and reclaim command of the Black Dragon Army. Something is fishy. I’ll ask around to find out what the King is trying to achieve. You should be careful,” said Reign with a solemn expression. Then, he stood up and left.Professor C was smoking a cigarette and glanced at the Emperor. “I believe that chaos is on its way. The King is almost certainly coming after you. You should come up with a plan to save yourself as soon as possible.”“That’s impossible.” The Emperor shook his head and said, “I’m the leader of the Five Commanders and General of the Red Flame Army. He wouldn’t come after me. Besides, there’s no reason for him to do so.”“James’ return to the Southern Plains served as a warning. In any case, you should be careful.”After saying that, Professor C stood up and left the house.The Emperor looked dejected. He extended his hand and pressed it against his ch

At the Capital, in the Emperor's Mansion… It was a luxurious living room. On the table was a dizzying array of delicacies. Expensive drinks and alcohol were also available.The Emperor was sitting on the sofa. With a brilliant smile on his face, he raised a wine glass. “Here’s to you, Bobby.”Sitting across the Emperor was a man just a little over twenty. He was dressed in an all-white suit and had a fair complexion and a dashing appearance. His presence was impressive. Bobby held up a wine glass and took a gentle sip. “I'm sure you have a request for me, Mr. Johnston. Whatever it is, just tell me,” he said nonchalantly.The Emperor set his glass down and pointed to the delicacies on the table. “First, let’s eat,” he said with a smile.Bobby still did not touch his plate.As a member of the Caden family, he was aware of the current situation in the Capital. The main players in the game of political chess were supported by various sects. Only the Ancient Four could choose to st

The Emperor quickly expressed his gratitude and walked over.At the entrance, he gently knocked on the door and humbly called out, "Mr. Gabriel.""Mmh." From inside the house, a soft response could be heard. "Come in." The Emperor pushed open the door and walked in. In the house, there was a fireplace with burning firewood. On the side, sweet potatoes were being baked.In front of the fireplace sat a man who appeared to be in his fifties. He was wearing a black jacket and toasting his hands by the fire.The Emperor walked over and stood by his side. "Mr. Gabriel," he said, his face solemn.Mr. Gabriel did not look at the Emperor. “You were far too careless. You should be punished for your mistakes,” he said in a soft voice."All of this was James’ fault, Mr. Gabriel. There wouldn't be so much trouble if it weren’t for him..."Mr. Gabriel gently waved him away and said, “Someone else will take over your work. You may leave for now.”“Mr. Gabriel, James has reclaimed his form

The Emperor. Full name: Theodore Johnston.He was from the Johnstons of the Ancient Four.His father was extremely low in the family hierarchy. As a result, he had a low standing as well.However, he met an honorable man. With Mr. Gabriel’s assistance, he successfully assumed control of the Red Flame Army as the Commander and became head of the Five Commanders in Sol.Many years ago, he had pondered what would happen to him in the end. Thus, he had covertly trained and gathered a few trusted aides.He was the Commander of the Red Flame Army. They would obey only his orders.Ten minutes had passed since he gave his command. A few generals arrived at his mansion.“Commander, did something happen?”“Commander, why do you want to assassinate the King? He’s the King after all. There will be anarchy if we kill him.”“That’s right, Commander. Please reconsider.”These visitors were his trusted aides. All of them were trained and promoted by the Emperor over the years. They acted upo

Mr. Lee nodded and said, “It’s a good thing he’s coming. After all, this is a revolution, and there will be sacrifices.”Gloom did not say anything else. Neither did the King, who fixed his gaze on the chessboard.Minutes and seconds passed.Outside…A large number of military vehicles were approaching. Some of the fully armed Red Flame Army soldiers got out of their cars and surrounded the palace.There were guards at the palace. They were members of the King's Forbidden Army as well as his bodyguards.As soon as the Red Flame Army soldiers approached, a man walked over and said coldly, “What is this? Do you have no idea what this place is? Nobody should approach here with a gun. What department are you from?”Still, the Red Flame Army general did not speak.The Red Flame Army had surrounded the location but took no further action. They were waiting—they were waiting for the Emperor's order.A man in a Red Flame robe emerged from a car in the distance. On the robe, a ball of

A cornered beast clinging desperately to life will lash out in desperation. The Emperor was such a beast. Though he knew he was about to die, he refused to simply leave quietly. He had brought his men here and planted bombs everywhere. The Emperor stood up and roared defiantly, “I refuse to die like a dog! I’m going to live, no matter what it takes!” The King sat on the sofa, unfazed by the Emperor’s show of defiance. Gloom stood beside him silently, observing the scene as it played out. The King said, “Mr. Gabriel has gone too far. It was unwise of him to revive the plan that had been abandoned a century ago. It was forbidden for a good reason. Now that things have been brought to light, Mr. Gabriel isn’t going to take a bullet for a disposable pawn like you. Just give it up, boy.”
