“What‘s the plan?” May asked.“After everything that has happened, I feel like a pawn that is constantly being controlled,” James explained. “It’s not a good feeling. I feel like I could die at any time. I don’t think you should return to the Southern Plains anymore.”“Hm?”They furrowed their brows. He continued, “You’re all capable and strong. Your mastery of martial arts has reached the pinnacle of External Martial Arts, and you’re only a few steps away from cultivating True Energy and becoming grandmasters. I’ll impart the Internal Cultivation Method to you later on.”Everyone rejoiced upon hearing his words.They had already heard about the Internal Cultivation Method from Blake.The Elite Eight was very powerful indeed, but in comparison to the Grandmasters of the Internal Cultivation Method, they were far too weak. The disparity was comparable to that of a child versus an adult.“I’m not sure which of the bigwigs in the Capital caused this change or what they’re schemin

The woman appeared to be in her twenties. She was dressed in a military uniform and had a bob haircut. She radiated bravery and heroism.“James,” she walked up to him and addressed him sweetly.James was sitting on the sofa. He took a look at her, then at Henry, and laughed. “Not bad. Your efforts have paid off. So, when are you getting married?”Henry’s face flushed. “We’re not…”At that moment, he was pinched. He quickly corrected himself, “Soon. It’ll happen soon.”“James, how’s it going with you and Thea?” Whitney asked as she sat down with a bright smile on her face.James shook his head slightly. He was not interested in talking about his own matters.Henry sat down and gave Whitney a gentle shove. She understood and did not ask any further questions. “Come, drink with me.” James raised his wine glass.Henry followed suit and clinked his glass against James’. "Mr. Caden, today is the anniversary of General Kimberly's death. Let's go pay our respects," Henry said abrup

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 ch

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

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
