Chapter 841
A cornered beast clinging desperately to life will lash out in desperation.
The Emperor was such a beast.
Though he knew he was about to die, he refused to simply leave quietly.
He had brought his men here and planted bombs everywhere.
The Emperor stood up and roared defiantly, “I refuse to die like a dog! I’m goi to live, no matter what it takes!”
The King sat on the sofa, unfazed by the Emperor’s show of defiance.
Gloom stood beside him silently, observing the scene as it played out.
The King said, “Mr. Gabriel has gone too far. It was unwise of him to revive the plan that had been
abandoned a century ago. It was forbidden for a good reason. Now that things have been brought to light,
Mr. Gabriel isn’t going to take a bullet for a disposable pawn like you. Just give it up,
boy.”
“Very well.”
The Emperor gave a deranged smirk. “In that case, I’ll take all of you to hell with me!”
In that very moment, the Emperor seemed to be the real-life embodiment of the devil himself.
He was the commander-in-chief of the Red Flame Army, which possessed a variety of extremely lethal weapons.
Although their use was highly restricted, even for use in the case of a war, the Emperor could not care less. He had

He glared venomously at the King.
“Bring Mr. Lee here now. I want to speak to him.”
The Emperor was still clinging to the last threads of hope he had.
“Mr. Lee is currently not on these premises.”
“Impossible! Do you take me for a fool?! Stop playing games with me. I know he’s here.” The Emperor
shrieked.
The King continued to ignore the Emperor’s tantrum. He looked at the time and murmured, “He should be
here soon.”
Suddenly, a group of people walked in.
In its lead was an elderly man who looked to be in his 80s. He wore a suit and walked using a walking stick.
Right behind him were four women.
They were around 20 years of age and were all wearing white dresses. They looked almost identical to each other.
Upon seeing the elderly man, the Emperor’s face lit up in delight. He immediately cried out, “You’re here, sect
elder!”
The elderly man was none other than the sect elder of the Johnstons. He was the second-in-command of the family
and his status was such that he was only surpassed by the patriarch.
His words held power.
“Take your men and leave!”
The elderly man walked in and threw a brief glance at the King before turning to the Emperor. “You. Return with me
at once.”
“Understood.”
Theodore was ecstatic.
Now that the sect elder was here, he would be bailed
out of this mess. The appearance of the second-in- command of the Johnstons would force Mr. Lee to reconsider
killing the Emperor.
After the Johnstons’ sect elder gave his orders, he left just as swiftly without even acknowledging the King’s
presence.
The King remained silent throughout the whole
exchange. He watched the sect elder take the Emperor
away.
After they left, the King asked, “When will James be here?”
Gloom looked at the time. “Soon.”
The King nodded. “Since the Johnstons have revealed themselves, things are gradually taking a turn for the worse.
However, this was the outcome Mr. Lee had hoped for. He intends to get the Ancient Four
involved in the fray. Otherwise, he would have done away with the Emperor a long time ago. He wouldn’t have to

The King then stood up and stretched. “Tonight will be an eventful night. Let us hope that James can kill the
Emperor while he’s under the protection of the Johnstons.”
Gloom said, “There’s bad blood between the two. In
addition to that, James also has evidence of the Emperor’s crimes. Based on what I know about James, he’ll surely
see this through.”
The King nodded gravely. “I hope so.
In the military region of the city…
A helicopter made its slow descent and landed.
The Black Dragon Army personnel swiftly alighted and marched into formation.
James and Henry got off the helicopter as well.
Henry looked to James for his next orders. “What should we do next, sir? Do we head to the Emperor’s Mansion
right away or…?”
James lightly waved to dismiss the suggestion. “We’ll head to the courthouse to retrieve the Blade of Justice first.
The Emperor is the head of the five commanders -in-chief. Once he’s arrested, things will start getting ugly. He’s
also a well-connected person with much influence. If we persecute him under a public trial, he might use a loophole
in the law to avoid his charges. Our priority should be to execute him using the Blade of Justice before he’s tried in
public.”
