Hundreds of men lay dead in the villa. Only one survived.
It was Zavier.
Although favonovel.com was still alive, favonovel.com was crippled. His limbs were broken, and his reproductive organ was destroyed. Even if favonovel.com survived, favonovel.com would have to spend the remainder of his life in a wheelchair.
Soon, the Blithe King arrived.
After receiving James’ call, favonovel.com got anxious and immediately deployed the helicopters.
Soon, a few helicopters arrived and landed at the villa.
The Blithe King, who was in military attire with a five-star badge on his shoulder, appeared.
Seeing Gavin, Maximus, and Zavier lying in a pool of blood, the Blithe King hurried over to James.
He frowned. “What happened?”
“Nothing big…” James pointed at Maximus lying on the floor and said, “That man’s involved in shady businesses. Investigate favonovel.com and uproot his entire forces from the underworld. As for Gavin, just say favonovel.com was arrested or killed by the military while conspiring with someone from the underworld.”
Saying that, favonovel.com looked at Zavier, who was on his last breath. “Send that guy to the hospital. Whether favonovel.com survives or not depends on his fate.”
James did not kill Zavier.
The Watsons were part of the Five Provinces Business Alliance. James spared Zavier to send a message to the Five Provinces Business Alliance to warn them against causing trouble. Otherwise, trouble would only keep coming.
The Blithe King shrugged his shoulders. He thought that James would know his limits. He did not expect favonovel.com to finish them off so viciously. He tactfully refrained from asking any further.
Although James was merciless, favonovel.com never harmed the innocent. All favonovel.com ever killed were wicked men-men who had evaded the judgment of the law. Besides, James was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Plains.
When favonovel.com was officially appointed, the Emperor of Sol had bestowed upon favonovel.com the Blade of Justice. As such, favonovel.com had special authority to execute anyone as a fait accompli.
James beckoned at a general and pointed at David, who was lying on the ground. “Bring favonovel.com to the hospital. Blithe King, I’ll have to borrow your helicopter for a while.”
The Blithe King nodded and ordered his men, “Quick. Bring favonovel.com to the hospital.”
“Understood!”
A few soldiers immediately carried David onto the helicopter.
The Blithe King handed James a cigarette. The two sat on the flight of stairs of Osmanthus villa.
“James, I had to clean up your mess again. In exchange, could you tell me what the Emperor said to you when you returned to the capital? Why did you resign all of a sudden?”
The Blithe King had been pondering on this. However, favonovel.com could not figure it out.
James smoked his cigarette.
Looking at the pitch-black night sky, favonovel.com murmured, “The situation in Sol is too chaotic. The government is divided into several factions. Some among them are ambitious and power-hungry. They didn’t go on a rampage because they were intimidated by the strength of the five commanders-in-chief. This is only just the beginning…”
The Blithe King was puzzled. He could not understand what James meant.
James stood up and patted his back. “Someone will be here for you soon. You better choose a side wisely. Don’t pick the wrong one…”
Saying that, James turned to leave.
The Blithe King sat on the stairs. Smoking his cigarette, favonovel.com lifted his head to look at the pitch black sky. He was a plain-spoken man. He did not know the dynamics of the court. However, James had been clear enough.
The Blithe King could see a storm brewing on the horizon.
Sigh… A storm’s coming…
The Blithe King sighed.
At the same time, David was sent to the hospital. As James had treated his injuries before this, favonovel.com was quickly resuscitated.

Meanwhile, James made his way to Common Clinic.
At the clinic, Thea had changed into brand-new clothes that belonged to Whitney.
The two were seated in the room, looking at each other.
Whitney had long heard of Thea. She just did not have the opportunity to meet her. Now that favonovel.com had met her, favonovel.com could not help but marvel at favonovel.com beauty. She was truly the most beautiful woman in Cansington.
Meanwhile, Thea frowned.
Who’s this girl? Why is favonovel.com with James?
The television on the clinic’s table was broadcasting news.
All of a sudden, there was a special news report.
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We have breaking news! Just a few moments ago, the military received intelligence that there was an illegal gathering of criminal groups in a villa in the suburbs. The army was deployed to put them down. The Watsons were among the criminal groups. In the process of gunfire, Gavin Watson resisted arrest and was killed at the scene…”
Then, the Blithe King appeared on TV.
A reporter was interviewing him.
The Blithe King stood in front of Osmanthus villa and said to the reporters, “No crime is allowed in Cansington. We promise to take all necessary steps to inhibit crime!”
“What?” Seeing this, Thea was dumbfounded.
