"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 aware that this is considered an obstruction to justice."
"Get them," Kennedy ordered.
"Arrest them all." James stepped back.
The Black Dragon Army behind him immediately marched forward and pointed their guns at the four
women.
The four women suddenly leaped up into the sky.
Like a flash of lightning, they appeared before the Black Dragon Army soldiers.
A number of James’ men collapsed to the ground groaning in pain.
The women’s movements were too swift.
Before James could even react, they had already incapacitated several Black Dragon Army soldiers
and returned back to their original positions.
James turned to them with anger burning in his eyes.
These women were extremely capable fighters.
However, James was not cowed.He pulled out the Blade of Justice.
"I wield the Blade of Justice.Those who stand against me, stand against Sol itself.I will smite all those
that resist."
One of the women hissed smugly, "Solean law only applies to ordinary citizens.The Johnstons are
above the rule of the law."
"All Soleans are equal before the law."
Gripping the hilt of the Blade of Justice, James stepped forward with conviction.
"Kill him." Kennedy told the women casually and started walking away.
James was nothing more than the descendant of a Caden pariah.
With the unquestionable power the Johnstons held, killing him and burying the incident would be a
laughably simple task.
"You’ve done it now."
At that moment, a voice came from afar.
James turned his head towards it.
A woman wearing a black dress and a black mask strutted over to them.She had a slender figure, and
her hair was black.
Behind her heels were four masked men in black robes.
Hearing her words, Kennedy stopped and turned to look at the approaching woman.
Frowning, he asked, "Who are you?"
"God-King Palace."
The woman gave her non-answer in a monotonous voice.
Then, she took a few steps back while the four masked men stepped forward.
In an instant, they leaped into the air and charged at the four women.
Choosing to retaliate head-on, the four women leaped into the air to meet their blows.
The sound of fists colliding rang sharply through the air.
The four women collapsed to the ground and vomited blood.
Meanwhile, the four masked men landed gracefully behind the woman in black.
Upon seeing this, James frowned and narrowed his eyes.He was puzzled by the sudden
developments.
‘Who are these people?’ Kennedy’s face contorted in anger.He could not recall ever meeting anyone
like the woman in black in the Capital.That aside, what the hell was this God-King Palace she
mentioned?
"Who are you? Do you know who you’re dealing with?"
The group in black simply ignored Kennedy.
James had no idea who these people who suddenly appeared to offer their assistance was, but he was
not about to squander the opportunity they had given him.
"Search the premise."
"You dare defy the Johnstons?! "
Kennedy screamed and slammed his walking stick against the ground in rage.
The impact was powerful enough to create a crack in the bluestone path.
A powerful aura burst forth from within his body stirring up gusts of wind around him.
The four masked men charged toward the enraged elder.
Kennedy leaped to the sky and met their fists mid-air.
