    “Hahaha…”


    Seeing this, the Emperor cackled.


    The others rxed. They could finally rest at ease.

    Warriors by himself.

    The Emperorughed and tossed the unconscious Tiara aside, while the others looked at each other


    with delighted smiles.


    At that moment, James reached for his back. Grabbing a handful of silver needles, he flicked his wrist.


    The silver needles struck its targets. Some were dead, while others were immobilized.


    Even the Emperor’s chest was pierced by a silver needle. Wearing a horrified expression, he pointed at


    James with his eyes bulging. “Y–You…”


    James immediately leaped toward the Emperor and gave him a powerful kick which sent him. flying.


    Then, he hurriedly reached for Tiara.


    At that moment, however, Professor C, who was lying on the ground immediately leaped to his feet and


    grabbed the Emperor. Then, dragging the Emperor, he swiftly retreated deep into the research


    laboratory.


    James picked Tiara up.


    By the time he realized that the Emperor was gone, Professor C had dragged the Emperor deep into


    theboratory. He tried to pursue them, but a door immediately blocked the passageway.


    “Damn it!” James cursed.


    However, he chose not to pursue them. Instead, she grabbed Tiara’s hand and took her pulse.


    After diagnosing her situation, James breathed a sigh of relief.


    Although Tiara was badly tortured and her pulse was weak, she was not in mortal danger.


    James walked over to the sealed iron door and pushed it, but it did not budge.


    He frowned and murmured, “The Emperor was struck in the chest. Even if he escapes, he can’t live for


    long. Plus, ke told me that this ce only has a single exit.”


    Once he remembered this, James did not pursue the Emperor further. Instead, carrying Tiara in his


    arms, he headed toward the exit.


    Soon, they were out of the researchboratory.


    Outside…


    ke and the Elite Eight were waiting anxiously. Seeing that James was carrying a bloodied woman in


    his arms, they breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Is everything alright, James?”


    “How is Tiara?”


    James shook her head and said, “She’s fine for now. Are you sure that theboratory only has a single


    exit?”


    ke nodded. “After exploring the area, this is the only exit we could find. Maybe there are some


    others that we didn’t manage to discover. What happened inside?”


    James said, “I almost killed the Emperor, but he was saved by someone. That guy must have activated


    some mechanism that blocked my path. I couldn’t pursue them further. The Emperor was struck in the


    chest by my silver needle, but he’s surrounded by weird people. I’m worried that they might be able to


    save him.”


    He pulled out his phone and called the Blithe King. “You can mobilize now.”


    “James, I wish I could. However, theboratory was approved by the state. If I mobilize, and things go


    way out of proportion, I could lose my position as themander–in–chief.”


    James said, “The Emperor is gravely injured. He might even die. However, he was saved by someone


    who dragged him further into theboratory. Besides, I already got my hands on theboratory’s


    research data. It should be enough to make him lose his position.”


    Hearing this, the Blithe King was relieved.


    “Alright then, I will mobilize at once.”


    James and the others did not leave. Instead, they guarded the exit.


    Ten minutester…


    Rumble!


    An explosion could be heard from inside theboratory.


    Then, the earth shook.


    James‘ face darkened. He cried out, “Retreat! We have an explosion iing!”
