Looking at the unknown men in front of the wooden house, James frowned and walked over to them. “Halt.” The men blocked James’ path. One of them walked over to him and said coldly, “Search him.” James was not sure whether Thea was abducted here. He chose not to act recklessly and allowed his enemy to search him. James did not bring any weapons. All he brought were some silver needles and the steel wire formed by the Crucifier. However, all of the silver needles and even the Crucifier were confiscated. Glancing at his enemy, he said coldly, “You better take good care of my belongings. If even a single silver needle is missing, I’ll tear you to pieces.” After he said that, he entered the wooden house. Clap! Clap! Clap! The moment he walked in, someone clapped. The elderly man stood up while clapping and said smilingly, “How brave of you to come, James. I’m really impressed.” James saw Thea who was sitting on a chair. She was not tied up, nor were there signs th

“Hahaha!” Reign laughed. “Your Holiness, these are James’ belongings.” A man walked over to Reign and showed him the silver needles and the tiny steel wire which were found on James. Reign glanced at the items. Though he was skilled at parasitic venoms, he knew nothing about the art of medicine. He felt that he had no use for these items. He was unaware of what the Crucifier was capable of. He simply tossed the items beside James and said coldly, “Return him his belongings.” His henchman asked, “Why don’t we kill him straight away?” “I wanted to.” Reign sighed. “He’s still a Caden, after all. Caden’s blood runs through his veins. Besides, I promised someone I’d spare his life. Now that he’s no longer a threat, it should be fine. Just leave him to his own devices.” Then, Reign turned to leave. Thea no longer had a headache. She knew that Reign had fed her another poison. However, she was still fine at the moment. With disheveled hair, she stood up and staggered h

James raised his hand to stop Thea. “S-Sorry…” With an apologetic look on her wretched face, Thea apologized profusely, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for getting you involved.” “Send her back to Cansington, Henry.” James spoke with great difficulty. “I…” Upon hearing this, Thea cried out. Her eyes brimming with years, she looked at James pleadingly. “How can I leave knowing that you’re in such a state? Please let me stay. I can take care of you.” “Umm…” Henry was caught between a rock and a hard place. James glanced at Thea. Thea’s hair was disheveled. Her face was full of her own scratches. In addition to her previous injuries which had yet to recover from, she looked a little frightening. Her pitiful expression broke James’ heart. However, James no longer owed Thea anything. He did not wish to have anything to do with this woman anymore. Besides, before the revolution, he could not have any emotional entanglements with any women. Otherwise, they would once

“Not only that, it turns out that during the previous incident at Mt. Thunder Pass, the twenty-nation alliance paid war reparations amounting to 9 trillion dollars. However, the National Treasury only received a mere trillion. The rest entered the Black Dragon’s pockets! “The Internet is in an uproar.” Hearing this, James’ expression turned grim. Henry swiftly pulled his phone out and searched the keywords ‘Black Dragon’ in a browser. As expected, they were in the headlines of almost every newspaper. There were many shocking revelations. Many public figures on Twitter were retweeting the incident of James’ accusation letter. In the letter, every cent James misappropriated, every act he did, and every person he killed was clearly recorded. Seeing this, Henry’s face darkened. He said, “This is extremely disadvantageous to you, sir. Even if the higher-ups hold you in high regard, it will lead to public discontent once the content of the letter spreads. To appease the public,

“Gloom.” He called out. A man in black robes appeared and kneeled before the King of Sol. “Sir.” “Head to the Southern Plains immediately. Tell James this…” The King of Sol stood up and whispered something in the man’s ear. “Understood.” Gloom got up and swiftly left. At the same time, at the General Assembly Hall of the Capital… All reporters of the Capital were present. At the front seats were the big shots of the Capital, which included Hendrix Hudson, the Secretary-General, Leroy Tucker, the Chief Executive, and the Emperor, the commander-in-chief of the Red Flame army. “General Secretary Hudson, may I ask what the higher-ups intend to do about the allegations against the Black Dragon?” A reporter questioned. Faced with countless cameras, Hendrix announced, “We will never tolerate such a crime. Corruption has been outlawed in Sol for thousands of years. Many dynasties fall because of their corrupt politicians. That is why we will severely punish all corrup
