Chapter 398


    The Watsons had long nned for this. All these years, they had only conducted legal businesses and


    had never involved themselves with shady dealings.


    This was the perfect opportunity.


    The Watsons wanted a puppet, and Maximus was the perfect candidate.


    As it’d be inappropriate for the rest of the Watsons to show themselves, Zavier was the right man for


    the job.


    Zavier waved dismissively, declining to entertain the women in revealing clothes. He looked at


    Maximus and said, “I heard that Thea’s brother, David, borrowed 800 million dors worth of loans from


    you.”


    “Yes, Mr. Watson. Do the Cahans have something to do with you?”

    Zavier waved his hands casually. “No, I’d like you to apply pressure on them. It’s best if you could


    capture David so that the Cahans are sent into a further panic. Feel free to do anything you want. As


    long as things don’t get out of control, the Watsons will cover it up for you.”


    “Understood.”

    Maximus nodded. Zavier didn’t leave. He had some idea about the contemporary dynamics in


    Cansington. Due to the previous incident regarding the Great Four, many underworld kingpins who had


    gone to the Cadens’ cemetery were scared out of their wits by the ten-thousand-man army. After


    hurriedly washing their hands of the industry and going into hiding, the underworld was thrown into


    disarray.


    What he nned to do was to prop Maximus up as the new king of the underworld of Cansington.


    He brought up the matter and came up with some suggestions for Maximus.


    At the same time, in the Southern ins…


    James slept through the morning. He woke up in the afternoon starving.


    After getting out of bed, he gobbled up his food. He was feeling less fatigued than before. In a


    conference room of a military base, many notable generals of the Southern ins gathered.


    At their forefront was James.


    Even though he had resigned from his post, he’d always be the onlymander-in-chief in the hearts


    and minds of the generals and the ck Dragon army. With a single word, they’d go through hell and


    high water for him.


    Levi stood up and reported, “Commander-in-chief, the envoys of the twenty-eight nations have arrived


    in the Southern ins. They are now gathered in front of Pallet’s Town conste general, demanding


    we release the captives.” “Release them?”


    James narrowed his eyes. “Not a chance in hell. In ordance with international practice, demand


    them to pay their ransom for us to release them-A million for amon soldier; 10 billion for a general;


    and 5 billion for a lieutenant. In addition to that, increase the sum tenfold. Pay up, and we’ll release


    them. If not, we’ll execute them all.” “Understood.”


    Levi nodded.


    James instructed, “Levi, as I’ve resigned from my post, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to show


    myself. I’ll leave the negotiations to you. Bring along Henry and the generals and lieutenants of the


    twenty-eight nations to Pallet Town’s conste general. If they don’t pay the ransom, execute the


    captives.”


    “Yes, sir!”


    “Oh, by the way…” Levi was reminded of something. He said, “Rumors are spreading on the inte


    that you’ve died on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder Pass.”


    “Oh?”


    James cocked his eyebrows.


    He had been conducting an operation on Henry the moment he got back. He had only woken up just


    now. As such, he was unaware of the rumors being spread.


    After a moment’s silence, he said, “Since the news has gotten out, order the ck Dragon army to


    officially announce that the ck Dragon had died a heroic death on the battlefield at Mt. Thunder


    Pass in the Southern ins after being pursued by an army of a hundred thousand men.”


    Levi froze, “What do you mean?” James gestured casually at him, “Just do as I say.” “Understood.” Levi


    did not linger in the conference room for long. He quickly turned to leave. After leaving, he immediately


    gave the order, “Bring all enemy generals and lieutenants out of their cells and escort them to the


    conste general at Pallet Town. At the same time, bring the ck Shadow General. Remember, his


    condition is currently unstable. So be mindful of that.” After giving the orders, Levi headed toward Pallet


    Town.
