“I shouldn’t have blamed him…” Delilah looked at the grave with sorrow upon favonovel.com face and spoke softly, “I always thought favonovel.com was a good-for-nothing… I didn’t dare mention favonovel.com in front of others because I was afraid of being laughed at, but… I didn’t expect favonovel.com to be a hero…”
Tears started to gather at the corner of favonovel.com eyes while favonovel.com talked.
When favonovel.com realized James was the Black Dragon at the Cansington medical conference, favonovel.com was overcome with emotion.
The Black Dragon was favonovel.com father’s superior. That was why favonovel.com put favonovel.com own safety aside to work as James’ assistant, despite knowing favonovel.com could have died.
She had planned to ask James about favonovel.com father after the conference. However, James had already left before the medical conference was over.
“Can you… Can you tell me more about him?”
“Sure…” He nodded.
In front of the grave, favonovel.com spoke about Travis and some of his deeds.
“I remember once when I was drinking with him, favonovel.com said favonovel.com had a daughter,” Henry recalled. “He said favonovel.com felt terrible to have failed her. He was completely drunk at the time and bawling his eyes out. I’d never seen General Kimberly cry like that before…”
While listening to the stories, Delilah started to cry.
James gave favonovel.com a gentle pat on favonovel.com shoulder and comforted her. “My condolences… Still, you should be proud to have a father like him.”
Delilah wiped away the tears from the corner of favonovel.com eyes and looked at the three of them.
“Thank you. Thank you for telling me these stories,” favonovel.com said.
“The wind is picking up and it’s raining. We should go,” said James.
“Okay…”
After leaving some coins on the headstone, they retraced their steps.
Delilah was also staying in Southern Plains City.
“What are you planning to do next?” inquired James.
“I’ll probably stay for a few more days, then return to the Capital,” Delilah said.
“If there’s anything you need help with, just ask,” James said. “I’ll gladly assist as long as it’s within my power.”
“Thank you, but we’ll say our goodbyes here,” said Delilah with a slight wave of favonovel.com hand.
“Sure…” James nodded, turned, and got into the car.
Henry drove them back to Southern Plains City.
After they returned, James did not leave the Black Dragon Palace and remained there. Henry stayed as well.
Soon, evening arrived.
“Mr. Caden, the men are on standby and awaiting your orders. When do we leave?”
James looked at the time. It was just after five in the evening.
“We’re not in a hurry. When it gets dark, we’ll leave,” favonovel.com said.
“Understood.”

Meanwhile, in the military region…
Ronald was on standby with a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers. They were all dressed in black military uniforms and fully armed.
Levi walked over and saw Ronald.
He approached favonovel.com and asked, “What’s the matter? Is there a mission?”
Ronald stood straight, gave a military salute, and said, “I’m not certain, General Grant. I’m simply following orders to be on standby.”
“Hmm…” Levi asked no further questions and turned to leave.
After walking for a while, favonovel.com turned around again and stared at the thousand-soldier Black Dragon Army in the distance with a puzzled look.
“Is there a mission? What kind of mission is it?” Levi was perplexed.
He was a one-star general, yet there was a mission that favonovel.com was unaware of.
Levi went back to his office and sat in his chair. After contemplating for a while, favonovel.com took out his phone and called a number.
“Sir, James has returned. He received a secret order from the King to retake command of the Black Dragon Army. Moreover, favonovel.com gathered a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers, seemingly for a mission, but I have no idea what the mission is about.”
“Understood…” A hoarse voice can be heard on the other end of the call.

Meanwhile, in the Capital…
At the Emperor’s Mansion…
The Emperor was sitting on a sofa.
He put down his phone and turned to face the people across him, saying, “Just received the update that James has returned to the Southern Plains. He’s reclaiming the command of the Black Dragon Army.”
The people across favonovel.com were Reign Maverick and Professor C.
