James sat on the sofa in Henry’s office.
Henry immediately handed him a cigarette and sat opposite him.
“You’ve done well.” James lit the cigarette and asked, “Besides Yasir Parker, is there anyone else applying pressure
on you?”
“There are so many of them I can’t name them all.” Henry lit a cigarette too and said, “Almost every powerful
figure in the Capital came to visit me in an effort to cajole and pressure me into releasing Halvor. However, I’ve
tried to avoid them at all costs.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded and said, “The Tucksons have established themselves in the Capital for centuries and are one of the
most powerful families in Sol. As they are affiliated with many powerful figures, there will inevitably be a chain
reaction once we make a move against Halvor. Jot down the names of the people who came later so that I can
have a rough idea.”

“I’ll go visit the King now.”

James did not linger in the military region for long. He left after having a brief conversation with Henry and headed
straight to Peace Mansion.
The King was the leader of Sol. However, behind him was Mr. Lee. Meanwhile, the one manipulating Mr. Lee behind
the scenes was Sky, who was following the instructions of the King a hundred years ago.
Even for the current King, the dynamics were complex and intricate.
Back then at the Mount Thunder Conference, he mobilized the army and planned to use high–tech weaponry to
exterminate all ancient martial artists. This included Mr. Lee, Sky, and Lance, the King of a hundred years ago.
This required great courage, but James put a stop to it. He did not wish for every ancient martial artist to be
exterminated just because of the actions of a select few.
However, he knew that there would be trouble as long as these ancient martial artists survived.
Meanwhile, the King shifted all responsibility onto him.
“Emperor!” WhenJames appeared, the guards of Peace Manign greeted him respectfully.
James asked, “Is the King here?”
“The King is currently having a meeting.”
“I’ll wait for him, then.”

James entered Peace Mansion and waited in a room. After approximately two hours, the King came. Beside him
was Gloom, his personal bodyguard.
The moment the King entered the room, he removed his jacket and casually gave it to Gloom.
“I heard from the guards that you arrived.”
The King sat opposite James and looked at him with a solemn expression.
“James, if you hadn’t stopped me, these ancient martial artists would have perished at the Mount Thunder Sect.
Now that they have survived, this constitutes a potential danger.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I know.” James nodded slightly. “From your perspective, they all deserve to die. However, not everyone at the
Mount Thunder Sect deserves to die.”
“So what do you plan to do now?” The King looked at James and said, “I’ll retire in half a year. Before I retire and
the new King assumes his position, I have to resolve these matters. Besides…”
The King waved his hand.
Gloom instantly walked over to him and handed him a photograph. The King took it and gave it to James.
James looked at the photo intently. A chubby forty–year–old–looking man who was wearing a grey suit could be
seen. Energetic and spirited, he wore a compassionate smile.
“Who is he?” James asked puzzledly.
The King explained, “His name is Jordan Holden, a governor of a tier–one city. Early this year, he was transferred to
the Capital and he’s now the head of the political department.”
“Is that all?” James asked.
The King said, “Although he looks unassuming on the outside, he’s in fact affiliated with the Gu Sect. Recently, he’s
been in regular contact with many Members of Parliament from all districts and provinces throughout Sol. With the
assistance of the Gu Sect, he’s gained many supporters and is now the leading candidate for the new King.”
James‘ expression turned grim.
Though the man was not based in the Capital, he was transferred here with the help of the Gu Sect. Once he
became the King, he would be Lucjan’s puppet.
