The Almighty Dragon General -
Chapter 712
Chapter 712
James grabbed the controller beside him and pressed a button.
The pitch-black room was immediately illuminated.
Finally, he could see the man's appearance.
It was a man around forty years old. He had a round face and thick eyebrows. Standing before James, the man seemed like a ferocious tiger.
He had a menacing look in his eyes.
James could feel he was no ordinary man. He rarely, if ever, had this feeling. Only when faced with true power would he have such a feeling.
That meant that the man before him possessed true power.
Besides, the man was able to infiltrate the Black Dragon Palace without alerting the Black Dragon army guards. James said feebly, “Something happened.”
"Aren“t you Asclepius? Can't you save yourself?” The middle-aged man seemed doubtful.
James did not answer his question.
After all, he did not know who the man before him was.
However, he could roughly guess.
Only the King of Sol's subordinates would be here at such a time, after all.
Allegations against him had led to public outrage. The King had no choice but to announce the formation of a special task force. However, James was crucial to the revolution. The King would never abandon him. He would definitely send his men to James.
"Speak. What is it?”
James was extraordinarily calm.
The man before him was Gloom, the personal bodyguard of the King of Sol, the Supreme Commander of the nation.
He possessed a power that surpassed even James.
“The King sent me here to guide you. You still have a shot at surviving this.”
James gently nodded, “I know. I can use the Blade of Justice to save my own skin.”
Nes
Gloom nodded.
“Since you possess the Blade of Justice, you have the power to enforce the law. Every person you've killed were those who escaped justice. The King will send his men to investigate and collect evidence of their crimes. Meanwhile, all the bribes and misappropriated funds that entered your pockets will be confiscated. Though you've committed a criminal offense, you don't deserve the death penalty. After all, you have performed great meritorious service for Sol. You'll most likely be removed from your position and become an ordinary civilian.”
James listened to Gloom intently.
He had thought of his way out.
From the moment James received news of the allegations against him, he had been waiting for the King’s men.
He wanted to know what the King would do.
Moreover, he wanted to know what role he would play in the revolution and purge.
"However, there's another path...”
Gloom approached James and whispered in his ear.
Then, Gloom continued, “These are the King's words. Once the revolution is over and the enemy forces are purged, the King will step back from his position once the situation. stabilizes. After the new King takes his place, he will personally pardon your crimes. You'll still be the Dragon King, and the 140 cities will still be yours.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded and said, “Got it.”
“Be on your guard.”
After reminding James, Gloom turned to leave.
Meanwhile, James lit a cigarette.
Smoke swirled around his face.
After smoking the cigarette, he stood up with great difficulty. Supporting himself against the wall, he headed toward the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
Then, he returned to the sofa and tried to open the bottle lid.
However, he could not exert any strength.
He could not open the lid no matter how hard he tried.
He laughed at himself.
"Oh, James... Though you claim to be Asclepius, you can't even deal with your own body. I hope I can live to see the revolution and the coronation of the new King. I will have no regrets if peace prevails.”
James tossed the bottle of water aside.
As he no longer had any strength to return to his room, he simply slept on the sofa.
