Chapter 849
James stayed in the military region for the night.
In a room in the military region...
The table was littered with tes from dinner earlier.
James and Henry were each holding a bottle of wine in their hands.
Henry took a swig and said, "Now that the Emperor is dead, peace has finally returned to the Capital."
James shook his head to refute that statement.
"Peace? I''m afraid this is only the beginning of something terrible."
Although there were a few mishaps during the n to assassinate the Emperor, James still managed to
aplish his mission.
However, he could see a storm brewing on the horizon.
The mysterious God-King Pce had appeared.Why did they suddenly show up and assist him? No
matter how he looked at it, James could not understand.
Henry tilted his head.
"Why?"
"Forget it.Bottoms up! Tonight, we drink to our heart''s content."
James did not want to continue dwelling on something soplicated.
At the same time, in a presidential suite of a hotel in the Capital...
A woman wearing a ck dress gazed at the elderly man before her.
Thea asked doubtfully, "Why do we have to wear these masks? If we cover our faces, James won’t
know who helped him."
Thomas, who was fiddling with a cross in his palm, simply said, "To prevent others from knowing your
identity, of course.We don’t want outsiders to start looking into God-King Pce, after all."
Thea was still perplexed, "What should we do next?"
"Do as you please.However, be mindful not to reveal your identity.Otherwise, we’ll be in deep
trouble.Not only will James be involved, but you will also be implicated in whatever ends up
happening.When thates to pass, you’re on your own."
After giving his strict reminder, Thomasnguidly left the room.
Thea sat on a chair and mulled over Thomas’ words.She could not understand what Thomas intended
to do.
However, she was content as long as she was able to help James out.
All this while, she had been the subject of ridicule for dragging James down.
The ims were not exactly untrue.
However, now that she had secretly supported her beloved, she could not help but want to divulge all of
it to James.
Upon being reminded of Thomas’ words, she decided against it.
The night passed silently.
The next morning...
All TV stations were reporting on the incident where the Red me Army surrounded the pce.
Although the containment was soon lifted, it nheless created quite a sensation.
That was because the Capital was the heart of Sol.
As such, everyone paid close attention to the tiniest of details and the most insignificant of events that
urred.
Everyone knew something must have happenedst night.
The specifics, however, were still up for debate.
James was still asleep.
A knock came on the door.
James dragged his body off the bed and answered the door.
Henry, who was in military uniform, stood in front of the door.
He saluted James and announced, "Dragon King, the time hase for the press conference."

James yawned as if he could not care any less.
"I''ll leave everything to you."
Saying that, he handed Henry the documents Gloom had given him and ordered, "Go to the
courthouse after the press conference.Expose the Emperor’s crimes.Once that’s done, lour business
with him will havee to a close."
"How is that possible, sir? I need you to take control of the situation."
Henry did not bother hiding his nervousness.
"Why wouldn''t it be possible? You’re a one-star lieutenant, after all."
James returned to his bed.
Henry stubbornly followed him in and said, "You were the one who executed the Emperor with the
de of Justice.It''ll be difficult for me to exin things without your presence."
"I''d like to avoid drawing attention to myself at the moment.Henry, give yourself more credit.Besides,
the Emperor’s no longer of this world.We’re just performing a mere formality.As for the rest, the King
will make the necessary arrangements."
Henry had no choice but to head to the press conference himself.He went straight to the General
Assembly Hall.
Many high-ranking officials and reporters were already gathered there.
