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 chest. “I didn’t expect
you to get out of this, James,” he cursed angrily.
He was nearly killed by James’ Crucifier. If Professor C had not intervened in time to save him, he
would have already lost his life.
On top of that, James ruined the intricate plan he had been working on for many years.
The reminder from Reign and Professor C woke him up.
James had returned to the Southern Plains and resumed his role as Dragon King. This was detrimental
to him. Perhaps the King was indeed planning to harm him.
He took out his phone and dialed a number. “Continue to keep a close eye on James. Inform me at the
first sign of trouble.”
“Okay,” replied the voice on the phone.
The Emperor tossed his phone aside after finishing the call. With a painful expression on his face, he
grabbed his chest and leaned back on the sofa. Even after a long period of thought, he could not stop
worrying.
He took out his phone once more and dialed Bobby’s number.
“Mr. Johnston, is there something going on?”
“Bobby, can’t I just call you for a chat? I’ve prepared some fine liquor at the Emperor’s Mansion. Come
over tonight for a drink.”
Bobby Caden was a descendant of the Caden family’s main bloodline. He held a position of power
within the family. Moreover, the Cadens were the head of the Ancient Four.
The Emperor had no idea what was going on. He needed to get some information from Bobby.
Meanwhile, at the Southern Plains…
James had been waiting at the Black Dragon Palace until the night fell.
That was when he stood up and left.
At the military region…
Ronn had been waiting with a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers for quite some time.
At that moment, two people approached him. They were James and Henry.
Not far from the thousand-strong Black Dragon Army, helicopters were at the ready.
James walked over and gave his command. “Set out.”
“Left turn! Double time, march!” shouted Ronn immediately.
In an instant, a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers began to jog and quickly boarded the helicopters.
The helicopters lifted off slowly and then vanished into the night sky.
Levi had been keeping a close watch over James and the thousand-strong Black Dragon Army. As
soon as he saw the helicopters take off, he made a phone call.
“Sir, James led a thousand-strong Black Dragon Army out of the Southern Plains military region. I have
no information on their destination.”
“Understood.”
On the helicopter…
James was resting with his eyes closed.
“Dragon King, after the Emperor’s death, the Red Flame Army will be without a commander. Who do
you think will take over as the head of the Five Commanders?” asked Henry.
It was a matter of interest to him as well.
“I have no idea,” Jason said, shaking his head slightly. “I’m hoping we can kill the Emperor smoothly
without any mishaps tonight.”
James had a bad feeling about this. It felt like something was going to happen.
Still, he could not quite put his finger on it.
“I hope I’m just overthinking things.”
James took a deep breath and put his thoughts aside.
