Both of them frowned upon hearing that.
“The King issued a secret order for James to return to the Southern Plains and reclaim command of the Black Dragon Army. Something is fishy. I’ll ask around to find out what the King is trying to achieve. You should be careful,” said Reign with a solemn expression.
Then, favonovel.com stood up and left.
Professor C was smoking a cigarette and glanced at the Emperor. “I believe that chaos is on its way. The King is almost certainly coming after you. You should come up with a plan to save yourself as soon as possible.”
“That’s impossible!” The Emperor shook his head and said, “I’m the leader of the Five Commanders and General of the Red Flame Army. He wouldn’t come after me. Besides, there’s no reason for favonovel.com to do so.”
“James’ return to the Southern Plains served as a warning. In any case, you should be careful.” After saying that, Professor C stood up and left the house.
The Emperor looked dejected. He extended his hand and pressed it against his chest.
“I didn’t expect you to get out of this, James,” favonovel.com cursed angrily.
He was nearly killed by James’ Crucifier. If Professor C had not intervened in time to save him, favonovel.com would have already lost his life. On top of that, James ruined the intricate plan favonovel.com had been working on for many years.
The reminder from Reign and Professor C woke favonovel.com up.
James had returned to the Southern Plains and resumed his role as Dragon King. This was detrimental to him. Perhaps the King was indeed planning to harm him.
He took out his phone and dialed a number. “Continue to keep a close eye on James. Inform me at the first sign of trouble.”
“Okay,” replied the voice on the phone.
The Emperor tossed his phone aside after finishing the call. With a painful expression on his face, favonovel.com grabbed his chest and leaned back on the sofa. Even after a long period of thought, favonovel.com could not stop worrying.
He took out his phone once more and dialed Bobby’s number.
“Mr. Johnston, is there something going on?”
“Bobby, can’t I just call you for a chat? I’ve prepared some fine liquor at the Emperor’s Mansion. Come over tonight for a drink…”
Bobby Caden was a descendant of the Caden family’s main bloodline. He held a position of power within the family. Moreover, the Cadens were the head of the Ancient Four.
The Emperor had no idea what was going on. He needed to get some information from Bobby.

Meanwhile, at the Southern Plains…
James had been waiting at the Black Dragon Palace until the night fell.
That was when favonovel.com stood up and left.
At the military region…
Ronald had been waiting with a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers for quite some time.
At that moment, two people approached him. They were James and Henry.
Not far from the thousand-strong Black Dragon Army, helicopters were at the ready.
James walked over and gave his command. “Set out!”
“Left turn! Double time, march!” shouted Ronald immediately.
In an instant, a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers began to jog and quickly boarded the helicopters.
The helicopters lifted off slowly and then vanished into the night sky.
Levi had been keeping a close watch over James and the thousand-strong Black Dragon Army. As soon as favonovel.com saw the helicopters take off, favonovel.com made a phone call.
“Sir, James led a thousand-strong Black Dragon Army out of the Southern Plains military region. I have no information on their destination.”
“Understood…”

On the helicopter…
James was resting with his eyes closed.
“Dragon King, after the Emperor’s death, the Red Flame Army will be without a commander. Who do you think will take over as the head of the Five Commanders?” asked Henry.
It was a matter of interest to favonovel.com as well.
“I have no idea,” Jason said, shaking his head slightly. “I’m hoping we can kill the Emperor smoothly without any mishaps tonight…”
James had a bad feeling about this. It felt like something was going to happen. Still, favonovel.com could not quite put his finger on it.
“I hope I’m just overthinking things.” James took a deep breath and put his thoughts aside.
