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.”

“Understood.” Henry nodded. Then, he turned to his men. “We’re heading to the courthouse.” Rows of vehicles lined up neatly and were readied for departure at the military region. A thousand Red Flame Army soldiers boarded and made their way to the courthouse. The courthouse was a place where powerful figures in Sol were put on trial. Not too long ago, James too was put on trial here. At the moment of his return, James felt an uncomfortable sense of deja vu. However, he immediately shook off the feeling. He stood in the middle of the courthouse and looked at the Blade of Justice glinting sharply before him. Behind him was a middle-aged man. He was the chief justice who was in charge of the courthouse. Upon being presented with the King’s secret orders, he allowed James passage within. James strode purposefully toward the Blade of Justice. Looking at the sword which represented the highest authority in all of Sol, he whispered, “I told you I’ll be back for the Blade o

After hearing that the Emperor had been brought to the Johnstons, James led the Black Dragon Army toward the Johnstons. He made his move with only a single objective in mind─dispose of the Emperor. He planned on using the Blade of Justice to execute him. Once he was finally dead, James would divulge the Emperor’s sins to the public. In a courtyard in the suburbs of the Capital… The courtyard was a testament to history and was constructed using the finest wood. Its walls were three meters high and were painted red. In the side hall of the courtyard… Kennedy Johnston, the sect elder of the Johnstons, sat on a red chair. He took a deep breath from the cigar he held in his hand and exhaled a cloud of smoke. Like a child that had been reprimanded, the Emperor sat in nervous silence next to him BAM! Kennedy slammed his hand on the table. The table shook, and the glasses filled with water on top of the table tipped over from the impact. “You lousy b*stard!” Kennedy his

“I was ordered to arrest a suspect.” “Ordered?” Kennedy asked coldly as his eyes glinted at James suspiciously. “Under whose orders?” James knew the amount of power and authority the Ancient Four wielded. Despite this, he did not back down in spite of Kennedy’s attempts to intimidate him. He raised the Blade of Justice in his hand and confidently declared, “I am performing my duty on behalf of the people of Sol. Theodore Johnston has committed a great many crimes while he held his position as the Emperor. In light of this, he must be brought to justice. I hope you’ll refrain from interfering with my directives. Otherwise, You’ll leave me with no choice…” “No choice but to… Do what?” James answered him defiantly, “I’ll have arrest all who dare to interfere with our duty.” “Really now…?” Kennedy’s face hardened at James’ threat. The four identical women stepped forward and stood in James’ path while glaring at him coldly. James returned the ladies’ glare. “I’m sure you’re a
