Chapter 835
"I shouldn’t have blamed him."
Delilah looked at the grave with sorrow upon her face and spoke softly, “I always thought he
was a good-for-nothing. I didn’t dare mention him in front of others because I was afraid of
being laughed at, but... I didn't expect him to be a hero.”
Tears started to gather at the corner of her eyes while she talked.
When she realized James was the Black Dragon at the Cansington medical conference, she was
overcome with emotion.
The Black Dragon was her father’s superior. That was why she put her own safety aside to work
as James' assistant, despite knowing she could have died.
She had planned to ask James about her father after the conference.
However, James had already left before the medical conference was over.
“Can you... Can you tell me more about him?”
“Sure.” He nodded.
In front of the grave, he spoke about Travis and some of his deeds.

“He said he felt terrible to have failed her. He was completely drunk at the time and bawling his
eyes out. I’d never seen General Kimberly cry like that before.”
While listening to the stories, Delilah started to cry.
James gave her a gentle pat on her shoulder and comforted her. “ My condolences. Still, you should be proud to
have a father like him.”
Delilah wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and looked at the three of them. “Thank you. Thank you
for telling me these stories,” she said.
“The wind is picking up and it's raining. We should go,” said James.
“Okay.”
After leaving some coins on the headstone, they retraced their steps.
Delilah was also staying in Southern Plains City.
“What are you planning to do next?” inquired James.
"I'll probably stay for a few more days, then return to the Capital," Delilah said.
"If there's anything you need help with, just ask," James said. “I’ll gladly assist as long as it’s within my power.”
“Thank you, but we’ll say our goodbyes here,” said Delilah with a slight wave of her hand.
“Sure.” James nodded, turned, and got into the car.
Henry drove them back to Southern Plains City.
After they returned, James did not leave the Black Dragon Palace and remained there. Henry stayed as well.
Soon, evening arrived.
“Mr. Caden, the men are on standby and awaiting your orders. When do we leave?”
James looked at the time. It was just after five in the evening. “ We’re not in a hurry. When it gets dark, we’ll leave,”
he said.
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, in the military region...
Ronn was on standby with a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers. They were all dressed in black military uniforms
and fully armed.
Levi walked over and saw Ronn. He approached him and asked, “ What's the matter? Is there a mission?”
Ronn stood straight, gave a military salute, and said, “I’m not certain, General Grant. I’m simply
following orders to be on standby.”
“Hmm.”
Levi asked no further questions and turned to leave.
After walking for a while, he turned around again and stared at the thousand-soldier Black
Dragon Army in the distance with a puzzled look.

Levi was perplexed.
He was a one-star general, yet there was a mission that he was unaware of.
Levi went back to his office and sat in his chair. After contemplating for a while, he took out his
phone and called a number.
“Sir, James has returned. He received a secret order from the King to retake command of the
Black Dragon Army. Moreover, he gathered a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers, seemingly
for a mission, but I have no idea what the mission is about.”
“Understood.”
A hoarse voice can be heard on the other end of the call.
Meanwhile, in the Capital...
At the Emperor's Mansion...
The Emperor was sitting on a sofa. He put down his phone and turned to face the people across
him, saying, “Just received the update that James has returned to the Southern Plains. He’s
reclaiming the command of the Black Dragon Army.” The people across him were Reign
Maverick and Professor C.
