The Black Dragon Army obeyed only the Black Dragon.
After the previous Black Dragon died, the Black Dragon Army remained without a commander until James’ achievements allowed favonovel.com to rise and claim the position as the new commander.
The Emperor approached, sat on the sofa, and crossed his legs.
He glanced at the Blithe King with a dim expression but said with a smile, “Why not? Does the Blithe King not welcome me?”
“Not at all…” The Blithe King’s expression softened, and favonovel.com asked with a smile, “You’re in charge of countless things and must be busy. I was curious why you would leave the Capital and come to Cansington.”
The Emperor replied with a smile, “Well, Cansington’s medical conference is happening very soon, and since the borders are peaceful now, I’ve given myself a two-week vacation. I wanted to visit Cansington and see Sol’s grand annual event. Also, I wanted to meet a few old friends while I’m here.”
Although the Emperor said so, the Blithe King knew favonovel.com was not in Cansington for fun.
He remained silent on the sofa.
The Emperor continued to speak, “By the way, I heard that the Black Dragon didn’t die and appeared in Cansington as the son-in-law of the Callahans. Last night, favonovel.com called you to privately sent troops to help favonovel.com solve some trouble?”
“I didn’t send troops to help favonovel.com solve personal problems. I received a report that there was a criminal gang gathering.” The Blithe King corrected him.
“You’re overstepping your boundaries. You’re the commander-in-chief of the five armies. These are matters of the local police forces. I hope you remain within your jurisdiction and don’t act recklessly. Otherwise, it’ll be a serious crime that might even threaten your position.”
The Blithe King understood that the Emperor was here to criticize his actions. It was because favonovel.com helped James.
Faced with the Emperor’s questioning, the Blithe King replied calmly, “Police forces? Do they dare to get involved in the Five Provinces Business Alliance’s affairs? The alliance has almost absolute authority throughout the five provinces. I didn’t investigate thoroughly and had already given those bigwigs enough face.”
“Blithe king, the situation has changed now. I hope you’re smart enough to recognize the best side to be on right now.” The Emperor did not say anything more.
He picked up his hat on the table, stood up, and left after giving a warning.
After the Emperor left, the Blithe King took out his phone and called James.
“Where are you?”
“Just left the military hospital. What’s wrong?”
“Wait there. I’ll come to see you right away.” The Blithe King hung up the phone, dressed in casual clothes, and headed out.
James waited at the entrance of the military hospital.
About 20 minutes later, an ordinary vehicle appeared in front of James. The window rolled down, and the Blithe King waved to him.
“Get in…”
James got into the car.
The Blithe King took out a cigarette and passed it to James.
James took it and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
The Blithe King said solemnly, “Some people came knocking on my door today.”
“Oh? Who was it?” James was intrigued and immediately asked.
“Chief Executive Leroy and the Emperor.”
Hearing this, James smiled. This was exactly what favonovel.com predicted would happen.
The Blithe King continued, “These two people are representatives from the military and government. They both warned me not to interfere with your affairs.”
“Yeah… It’s expected. From now on, you shouldn’t get involved with me anymore,” said James.
“I’m just puzzled. Why didn’t they take action against you before your resignation? Now that you’ve resigned, they’re coming after you relentlessly.” The Blithe King could not understand.
James glanced at the Blithe King and said, “I really don’t know how you became one of the Five Commanders. You can’t even grasp such simple truth. You should slowly try to digest it and you’ll eventually understand,” James replied.
Then, favonovel.com opened the door and got out of the car.
The Blithe King sat in the back seat and smoked his cigarette. He pondered upon James, Leroy, and the Emperor’s words.
He was a soldier and was full of fighting spirit. Thus, favonovel.com was not used to wheels and deals, nor had favonovel.com thought about political affairs. He had always completed his duties and contributed to the country’s development.
However, favonovel.com was not stupid. He could figure it out if favonovel.com thought about it thoroughly. He thought about the special nature of the Black Dragon Army.
The Black Dragon Army was established thirty years ago. It was an independent army outside the jurisdiction of any military region. It had great authority, and all the Black Dragons would inherit the Blade of Justice.
The Blithe King thought about the death of the previous Black Dragon.
It happened ten years ago. The first commander of the Black Dragon Army was killed during a battle ten years ago, and all the forces within Sol were quickly reshuffled.
Upon remembering this matter, the Blithe King immediately understood.
James was right. It was essential to stand on the right side. He also understood which sides James was referring to previously.
