Chapter 841


    A cornered beast clinging desperately to life willsh 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 nted bombs everywhere.


    The Emperor stood up and roared defiantly, "I refuse to die like a dog! I’m going 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 yed out.


    The King said, "Mr.Gabriel has gone too far.It was unwise of him to revive the n 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


    themander-in-chief of the Red me 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 nothing left to lose.He red venomously at the King.


    "Bring Mr.Lee here now.I want to speak to him."


    The Emperor was still clinging to thest threads of hope he had.


    "Mr.Lee is currently not on these premises."


    "Impossible! Do you take me for a fool?! Stop ying 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 -inmand


    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 nce 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-inmand 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 oue 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 wait for James to rise."


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    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 andnded.


    The ck 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 de 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 thew


    to avoid his charges.Our priority should be to execute him using the de of Justice before he’s tried in


    public."
