James was sitting in the helicopter, keeping track of the time and surveying his surroundings.About twenty minutes had passed. The helicopter had flown out of downtown and appeared in the suburbs.James believed that the Red Flame Army had already finished deploying within this time. He was also aware that there were satellites constantly monitoring this helicopter.After the helicopter had departed, the Red Flame Army's helicopters moved into position and appeared in the sky above Hope Villa District. There were snipers on every helicopter.The three thousand mercenaries below were already being aimed at.The mercenaries had observed the sky becoming densely packed with helicopters. However, they were not afraid at all. They were already prepared to die when they dared to come, but they did not take any rash actions either.As long as Nott could leave safely, their families would receive the money.At this moment, within the villa district, a horn was sounded.“People that ar

James smiled and said, “I've known about Mr. Lee for quite some time, and I finally got to meet him today.”The King smiled and asked, “What can I do for you this time?”“It's nothing major. It's just that I've attacked the Tuckson family this time, and there will undoubtedly be a large number of people involved. Besides that, mercenaries appeared in the Capital and were even using military weapons. There’s something fishy about that. I'm afraid there will be a major upheaval in the military region, so I specifically stopped by to give prior notice,” said James.The King nodded and said, “Well, that's to be expected. Go ahead. Abide by the rules regardless of who is involved. It's time for a clean-up and for a significant replacement of personnel. In fact, I've been wanting to take action for a while now, but there haven't been any opportunities. In addition, I was also concerned that if I took action against these people, the Capital would descend into chaos.”Mr. Lee did not say

“Yes.”The man nodded, then left in a hurry.Lucjan did not linger either. He turned around and entered the mansion behind him.…At the Emperor's Mansion, James was going over the plan with Maxine and Thea. After much deliberation, they eventually arrived at some comprehensive arrangements.He would kill Yaroslav Gabriel by tomorrow night.When it was time, he would wield the Blade of Justice and lead the Red Flame Army to where Yaroslav resided. Rather than bringing him back and imprisoning him, he would simply kill him immediately.Yaroslav would also get a stand-in ready beforehand.After they had finished discussing the plan, James told Madelyn about it. Madelyn sent all of the documents about the Gu Sect to James as well. These documents contained information about Gu Sect that Yaroslav had obtained.James opened the documents and read them carefully.Gu Sect Leader, identity unknown.The Gu Sect also had a Deputy Leader, named Lucjan Owen. His strength was unknown, bu

Only then did Thea's restlessness subside.“I’m going out for a while.”James got to his feet and left the Emperor's Mansion, making his way through the night to the Red Flame Army's base.Henry was stationed at the Red Flame Army's base.Office.“Did you rush over at this hour for something, Sir?” Henry asked, standing in front of James. “Did something happen?”Henry had known James for many years. James had a solemn expression on his face from the moment he walked into the office, so he knew something must have happened.“Yes,” James answered, “Something did occur. This time, I went after the Tuckson family. My next actions will also be against some people's interests. So, they couldn’t take it any longer and abducted Quincy, Tiara, Lex Callahan, and the others from Cansington. They want me to leave the Capital and head to Mt. Thunder.”Henry was stunned. “Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains?” he asked.James shook his head and said, “No. During this time, you were in th

She was no longer the frail and defenseless Thea who allowed people to bully her.“Thea, trust me. I’ll bring back the Callahans. I’ll bring them back even if it means risking my life.” After saying that, he looked at Maxine and said, “Maxine, go back to Cansington with Thea. The situation in the Capital is too complicated and unpredictable, you should stay out of it for the time being.”“I can’t do that,” Maxine objected immediately. “If I go with you, I can offer you advice or strategize with you during a crisis. Besides, you don’t even know much about ancient martial artists. You also have no idea who are the elites among the ancient martial artists. I am somewhat knowledgeable about that. If you take me along, I can assist you.”“Are you aware of what will happen at Mount Thunder this time?” James asked with a grave expression. “The Great Four already had a falling out. During the Mount Thunder Conference, the other three families will team up and attack the Cadens. You’re a mem
