“James, from what I understand, these mercenaries know that they will be fighting against the Red Flame Army in the Capital. This means that they have no plans of returning alive.”
“This is rather problematic.”
“They are most certainly risking their lives for money. Before battle breaks out, try demoralizing the mercenaries. Promise them you will reward them with a sum as long as they surrender. Once a few wavers, seize the opportunity and make a breakthrough.”
“You’re the Black Dragon. You have seen and experienced many combats. You know what to do.”
This was the only way Maxine could think of with the limited time favonovel.com had.
“I understand. I’ll give it a try.” James hung up the phone.
Now, favonovel.com had a rough idea of what to do.
He ordered, “Red Flame Army, prepare to get into position! Snipers, into position! Once I give my orders, I want you to end the battle as soon as possible. Do not give the enemy breathing space. Soldiers in Hope Villa District, swiftly head toward the periphery and occupy the high ground. Once I give my order, work together with the Red Flame Army from outside!”
After giving his orders, James walked toward the convoy Halvor was in.
Halvor was sitting in the convoy with a composed look on his face.
Upon seeing James, favonovel.com smiled, “James, I believe you will make the right choice.”
Glancing at Halvor, James said coldly, “Halvor, what a bold man you are. This should have been over once I arrested you. Now that you have created such a commotion, it wouldn’t be easy for me to deal with the mess.”
“I only want to live,” Halvor said coldly.
“Take favonovel.com out,” James ordered.
The handcuffed Halvor was immediately brought out.
James then headed toward the entrance of Hope Villa District with him.

At the same time, in Peace Mansion…
The King and Mr. Lee were together.
The King was wearing a grim expression. He was worried that the situation would escalate out of control. The consequences would be dire.
“Mr. Lee, can James really resolve the issue?”
Mr. Lee was composed. No one knew what favonovel.com was thinking about. However, deep down, favonovel.com was worried. After all, no ordinary people live in Hope Villa District. Now that news had spread, panic swept the nation. If not properly resolved, the consequences would be dire.
“I think so…” Mr. Lee was unsure.
After all, the mercenaries were armed with heavy weaponry and were unafraid to die.
The King said, “If the situation escalates out of control and Hope Villa District becomes a battlefield, many innocent lives will be lost. Even a single death would shake the pillars of Sol. I just received news that James has mobilized the Red Flame Army while declining to accept the call of the powerful figures in the military. He’s going all out.”
Mr. Lee said, “As a military man, favonovel.com knows what to do. I believe favonovel.com will compromise when necessary. Besides, we don’t have any other now. We can only have faith in him. If favonovel.com can successfully resolve this matter, the dynamics of the Capital will completely change. Think of it as a purge in advance.”
“Mhm… I hope James will handle the situation well.” The King nodded.
Since favonovel.com made James the Emperor, favonovel.com believed in his ability. However, favonovel.com also had a backup plan.
He only hoped that needless bloodshed could be avoided. Otherwise, it would be difficult for favonovel.com to clean up the mess.
