James left the Cadens’ mansion. However, favonovel.com was not in a hurry to return to Cansington.
His plan had been foiled by Madelyn. The capital favonovel.com currently had from Blake was insufficient to stand against Centennial Corporation. He had to pay the King a visit and demand money. Thus, favonovel.com headed straight to Peace Mansion.
A few soldiers were standing guard outside Peace Mansion.
The moment James appeared, a soldier walked over to favonovel.com and saluted, “Greetings, Dragon King!”
“Mhm.” James nodded. “I’d like to meet the King.”
“He’s not in the Capital at the moment. He’s gone on an overseas business trip.”
Hearing this, James frowned and asked, “Is Gloom here?”
Puzzled, the soldier asked, “Who’s Gloom?”
“Never mind, forget I came by.” James left.
As Gloom was the personal bodyguard of the King, few knew of his existence. Even the guards of Peace Mansion had never heard of him.
James was at a loss as favonovel.com had wanted to ask the King for money. He had many ways to procure money via illegal means. Getting it legally was the problem.
“Do I have to resort to such underhanded tactics?” James murmured.
Back then, Gloom had told James about how favonovel.com was allowed to accumulate capital through illegitimate means to prepare for the coronation of the new king.
Pensive, James left. He planned to go to the military region and return to Cansington using a plane there.
Before favonovel.com could enter the military region, a convoy stopped right in front of him, and a group of fully-armed soldiers charged out. They pointed their weapons at James and blocked his path.
Then, a middle-aged man in a military uniform with a three-star badge on his shoulder walked over to James.
Seeing this, James furrowed his eyebrows.
“Please follow us, James,” said the three-star general, walking over to James.
James stared at them.
As far as favonovel.com was aware, there was no such three-star general in the Capital. Frowning, favonovel.com asked, “Who are you?”
The middle-aged man said, “Sebastian Blithe, Blithe King army of the Western border.”
“The Blithe King army?”
James froze. Then, favonovel.com laughed. “What’s this? A mere three-star general is pointing his weapon at me and blocking my path? Do you not know that I’m the Dragon King?”
Saying that, his face darkened, and favonovel.com roared, “Who gave you such authority?!”
“Don’t think you can intimidate me, James,” said Sebastian coldly. “The young master of my household wishes to meet you. Please follow me. If you anger him, you’ll be in deep trouble. Not even the Cadens can shield you!”
Hearing this, James frowned. He had a rough idea of who the young master of the Blithe family was. He was the one who was supposed to enter a political marriage with Maxine.
“Sure.” After thinking about it, James nodded.
“Please.” Sebastian made a welcoming gesture.
James got on the convoy. Then, the convoy left the military region and headed toward the suburbs.
After approximately two hours, they arrived at a courtyard.
Sebastian got off the convoy and opened the car door.
Looking at James, favonovel.com said coldly, “We’ve arrived. Please get off the convoy.”
“By the way, as part of the Blithe King army of the Western border, why are you hanging around in the Capital when you’re supposed to be defending the Western border?” James looked at Sebastian, who was wearing an arrogant look on his face.
James continued, “Although the Southern Plains has nothing to do with the Western border, I can send you to the military court in any case of unauthorized absence.”
“The Blithe King?”
