The Almighty Dragon General -
Chapter 351
Chapter 351
"Wait, what do you mean by that?” James was taken aback by the revelation.
"Huh? “ Emperor was also surprised by his reaction and immediately answered, “It seems you don't even know this much.”
“I don't, so tell me about it.”
“It's a secret. It's better to let sleeping dogs lie. Nothing good will come out of having this information. Thomas had decided to leave the Cadens and is no longer part of the Four Great Families, thus you're no longer a member of the Cadens. It'd be good if you don't involve yourself any further in these matters.” James glared at Emperor.
Although Emperor was not the one responsible for the Cadens’ dernise, he definitely held no small amount of insider information.
James' glared venomously, and in the next moment, he struck. He leaned close to Emperor, and his silver needle touched the carotid artery on his neck.
The color in the Emperor's face drained at the threat.
"What are you trying to do, James? Kill me? Do you think you'll be able to leave this place alive if you kill me?” Emperor scoffed indifferently.
“Talk, what're the details?”
“Hmph... if you're so curious, why don't you find out yourself?” Emperor continued to reply vaguely. James let the silver needle pierce his skin.
Pain spread from the Emperor's neck.
“Try and see if you can leave this place alive after killing me.”
“Do you really think I don’t have the guts to do it?”
James was boiling with murderous rage.
Even though Emperor had nothing to do with the demise of the Cadens, he was definitely a wealth of information and was likely the mastermind behind everything. However, killing Emperor would mean one less source of information for James which would make matters even more challenging to investigate.
Jamnes put away the silver needle. “I hope the demise of my family had nothing to do with you. If I find out that you're involved in it, I will make sure to kill you even if you're the leader of the Five Commanders.”
James left the threat hanging over the Emperor and turned to leave. Large beads of sweat dotted the Emperor's forehead, rolling down his face and drenching his clothes after James left.
James left Emperor's mansion and went directly to Peace Mansion to look for the supreme commander.
However, the supreme commander was unavailable as he was visiting other countries abroad.
The secretary-general received him. This person stood at the pinnacle of power, and his status was not inferior to the Five Commanders.
“Mr. Hayes, when will the supreme commander be back?”
The man he addressed was Hogan Hayes.
He was the secretary of the supreme commander and a figure that had significant influence in the Capital
“Black Dragon, the supreme commander's schedule is full this month, and I'm afraid he won't be returning to the Capital for the time being.”
"Why hasn't my resignation application been approved?” asked James.
“This shouldn't be a childish decision, General. I've kept the resignation application with me and haven't handed it over to the supreme commander. I wanted to give you a chance to change your mind. The Southern Plains need you. The thousands of people in Sol also need you.”
“I hope the application will be approved by tomorrow.” James said what he had to say, stood up, and left.
Hogan watched him leave.
It was not until he left then did a man in his fifties walk out from another door. He was a slightly chubby man dressed in a gray suit with a neat hairstyle and looked full of vigor.
“Sir,” Hogan called out.
“It seems Black Dragon really is intent on resigning.”
"Sir, 1 didn’t expect him to come to the Capital himself. What should we do?”
The supreme commander went silent for a while. Then, he said, “Approve it. Issue an announcement tomorrow to inform the public.”
Hearing this, Hogan's expression changed.
“Sir, you have to reconsider this. This isn’t just some minor issue. Black Dragon's resignation will cause a public uproar, and the Southern Plains might go into a state of emergency...”
“I've been waiting for Black Dragon to come to the Capital. Since he’s finally here, he must've uncovered some information and came here to follow up on his leads. The forces in the Capital are in too much of a mess. The government and opposition are divided into their insular factions. It's time we clean it up.”
"Alright, I understand.” Hogan did not say anything else. He turned to leave and went directly to Emperor's Mansion
Emperor's Mansion.
A secret room.
“The commander has approved it. I'll be making an announcement tomorrow that the Black Dragon will be resigning.”
Hearing this, Emperor furrowed his brows. He clenched his fists and said expectantly.
" Finally! Let's see how you'll go against me now, Black Dragon?”
Meanwhile, James walked out of the secret room with a smirk.
