“Hahaha!” Reign laughed.
“Your Holiness, these are James‘ belongings…”
A man walked over to Reign and showed favonovel.com the silver needles and the tiny steel wire which were found on James.
Reign glanced at the items.
Though favonovel.com was skilled at parasitic venoms, favonovel.com knew nothing about the art of medicine. He felt that favonovel.com had no use for these items. He was unaware of what the Crucifier was capable of.
He simply tossed the items beside James and said coldly, “Return favonovel.com his belongings.”
His henchman asked, “Why don‘t we kill favonovel.com straight away?”
“I wanted to.” Reign sighed. “He‘s still a Caden, after all. Caden‘s blood runs through his veins. Besides, I promised someone I‘d spare his life. Now that he‘s no longer a threat, it should be fine. Just leave favonovel.com to his own devices.”
Then, Reign turned to leave. Thea no longer had a headache. She knew that Reign had fed favonovel.com another poison. However, favonovel.com was still fine at the moment.
With disheveled hair, favonovel.com stood up and staggered favonovel.com way toward James. She wanted to help James up. However, favonovel.com could not exert any strength herself.
“Sob… James, you‘re not dying on me.” She was tearful. “It‘s all my fault for getting you involved…”
James was lying on the floor.
At that moment, favonovel.com could not exert a single ounce of strength. He was a doctor highly skilled in the art of medicine. However, favonovel.com could not figure out his current condition.
Though favonovel.com wanted to stand, favonovel.com could not.
“D–Don‘t touch me… Let me rest for a bit.” James could feel something buzzing in his ears.
Thea‘s sniveling agitated him.
Upon hearing this, Thea shut favonovel.com mouth.
James lay on the floor and rested.
After ten minutes, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com had regained some of his strength. However, favonovel.com could only barely stand. He stood up and tried taking a few steps. Though favonovel.com could still walk, every step seemed to take a toll on him.
“D*mn it! What kind of poison is this?” James sat on the chair and cursed.

At the same time…
Reign had left Mt. Thunder. He gave the Emperor a call. “James is now crippled. He will no longer be a threat to you.”
“I want favonovel.com dead. He’s a threat to me as long as he‘s alive.”
Reign said calmly, “He‘s no different from a dead man.”
“But he‘s still the Dragon King, one of the most powerful men in Sol. I can’t be at ease knowing he‘s still alive.”
“In that case, think of a way to remove favonovel.com from his position. You‘re a master of intrigue. I believe this should be a piece of cake for you.”
“Got it.”
The Emperor hung up the phone impatiently. He thought James would be dead once Reign made his move. Now, however, Reign had spared James’ life.
After hanging up the phone, favonovel.com stroked his chin, contemplating how to best remove the Black Dragon from his lofty position.
James had performed great meritorious service for Sol on the battlefield. Not only that, favonovel.com was made the Dragon King. Removing Sol‘s hero and guardian from his position was no easy feat.
After some thinking, a grin crept up on his face. “James, it’s all over for you…”
