Chapter 720


    “He‘s wearing a ck robe... He‘s a general of the Southern ins! What is he trying to aplish by


    appearing with the de of Justice at James‘ trial? Is he trying to exonerate James with the sword?”


    The crowd was heatedly in a discussion.


    Meanwhile, James sat at the defendant‘s stand and smiled.


    Seeing the de of Justice, the Emperor‘s face darkened.


    Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Henry announced, “Though Sol is a country with a rule ofw,


    many are able to escape justice by finding loopholes. The de of Justice serves to execute these


    wicked criminals and give them what they deserve.”


    Henry said with great confidence, “The ck Dragon,mander–in–chief of the ck Dragon army,


    has upheld Soleanw by executing all those who escaped justice. The former heads of the Great Four


    of Cansington were executed due to a massacre ten years ago. “Ten years ago, the Cadens, the most


    powerful and influential family in Cansington, were burned alive. The masterminds of this fire were from


    the Great Four. The ck Dragon did not let a single guilty person escape. Likewise, he did not kill a


    single innocent man, woman, or child.”

    Henry revealed some of the secrets.


    The crowd was in an uproar. “I– Is that true?”


    “Impossible.”


    “James must have abused the de of Justice to kill the innocent! We can‘t let him off the hook that


    easily.”


    Hendrix, the Secretary–General, asked, “ck Shadow General, we can‘t just take your word for it. Do


    you have any evidence?”


    “Yes.” Henry nodded. “The evidence, please.”


    James had ordered Henry to call Jay in advance. Through Jay‘s underground intelligencework,


    Henry managed to collect evidence and found much from Cansington‘s underworld.


    They were present at the Cadens‘cemetery that fateful day. They saw with their own eyes how James


    executed those who were behind the destruction of the Cadens ten years ago with the de of Justice


    “I can testify that James killed many people with the de of Justice that day. They were all behind the


    destruction of the Cadens ten years ago. They admitted to their crimes before their death.”


    “One of my men recorded the moment they admitted to their crimes.”


    The evidence was presented.


    Allegations against James for killing the innocent were debunked.


    Seeing this, the crowd was once again in a heated discussion. However, someone brought up the


    allegations that James epted bribes and misappropriated the war reparations.


    James did not provide an excuse for this.


    After all, the allegations were indeed true.


    Henry cried out, “He has fought for Sol and performed major meritorious services to the country. Even if


    he has epted bribes, I think he should be acquitted.”


    He continued, “They say that he misappropriated a total of 10 trillion dors. But did you know that he


    captured the enemymander–in–chief despite being pursued by the 28 nation martial art gurus and


    the 100 thousand–strong enemy forces at Mt. Thunder? “The ck Dragon army swept across the


    battlefield and annihted the twenty–eight–nation alliance. In ordance with internationalw, the


    twenty–eight nations were supposed to pay the ransom for the prisoners of war. However, James


    demanded that they pay ten times the amount.


    “Why? Because of the million–strong ck Dragon army. “The ransom paid was equally divided among


    the army. The ck Dragon army guards the Southern border of Sol. We could be killed anytime. Is it


    such a wrong thing to do to distribute some of the war reparations to us?


    “We have families too. But with the meager sry we receive, we can‘t feed them. Though we fight


    against the enemies on the battlefield, our families are being neglected. Have any of you thought about


    this?


    “Why did James establish the Transgenerational Group? He hopes for peace at the border. He hopes


    that everyone can leadfortable lives. “As you may know, James married into the Cahans upon


    arriving at Cansington. Has he ever splurged on anything? He has the ck Dragon card. The country


    pays in his stead. Why then, do you think that hecks money?”


    Henry’s voice grew louder and louder.


    The crowd was speechless. They could not find anything to retort.


    Wielding the de of Justice, Henry walked over to James and knelt. He presented the sword to


    James and cried out, “Dragon King, please ept the de of Justice. Exercise its authority and rid


    Sol of its treacherous subjects.”


    James stood up.


    However, as he was enfeebled, he almost copsed to the floor.


    He lifted the de of Justice with great difficulty.


    Whish!


    He pulled the sword out and examined it.
