“Greetings and welcome to the midday news, viewers… This afternoon, the Red Flame Army of the Capital had conducted a combat drill. During this drill, three thousand fully armed Red Flame Army soldiers acted as the enemy and surrounded the Hope Villa District in the Capital… It was a live fire drill. During the drill, the entire Red Flame Army was deployed. They completed the rescue mission in a very short period of time.”
“Please stay tuned to our follow-up report on the details of the drill.” A news story spread throughout the Capital and even the entire country.
Today, the Red Flame Army was dispatched. Convoys and tanks were everywhere in the streets, and the entire city was also sealed off. In the sky were countless helicopters. Even combat aircraft were deployed.
This caused panic, but immediately after, the news came out.
The public then realized that it was a drill.
The Red Flame Army quickly cleaned up the battlefield. They dragged away the three thousand corpses and cleaned up Hope Villa District.
Meanwhile, James had brought Halvor back to the city and locked favonovel.com up.
After that, favonovel.com attended the press conference for the combat drill.
At the conference, favonovel.com announced, “The Capital is the safest city in Sol. The Red Flame Army is the strongest of the Sol armies in terms of combat power. Through this drill, the Red Flame Army has demonstrated its terrifying combat prowess. I hereby declare that this drill has been successfully completed.”
James simply said a few words and left.
The rest would be handled by people from other departments.
In one way or another, the general public must be convinced that it was indeed only a drill.

At Peace Mansion…
Mr. Lee never left.
The news came through.
The King said with a smile, “I must say that James is quite capable. He wiped out these mercenaries without harming anyone and even brought back the head of the Tuckson family.”
“Indeed…” Mr. Lee sighed.
“The Capital will no longer be peaceful after this. The year is coming to an end. I really don’t want any mishaps to occur at this time. However, if these thorny issues can be resolved before the new year, the election next year will be relatively peaceful.”
At this point, a guard entered and said respectfully, “King, Mr. Lee… James is here.”
“I’ll be leaving, then.” Mr. Lee quickly stood up with the intention of leaving through the back door.
However, James had already entered when favonovel.com got to his feet.
“Mr. Lee, are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Hearing James’ voice, Mr. Lee sat back down.
James walked over and looked at the old man opposite the King.
This person looked about sixty years old. He wore a frock coat as if favonovel.com was an old man who had traveled from a bygone age.
James was aware that this was the person behind the King, Mr. Lee.
“You’re here… Sit.” The King pointed to the sofa on the side.
James sat down. His gaze remained fixed on Mr. Lee.
“This is Mr. Lee,” the King said as favonovel.com introduced him.
James smiled and said, “I’ve known about Mr. Lee for quite some time, and I finally got to meet favonovel.com today.”
The King smiled and asked, “What can I do for you this time?”
“It’s nothing major. It’s just that I’ve attacked the Tuckson family this time, and there will undoubtedly be a large number of people involved. Besides that, mercenaries appeared in the Capital and were even using military weapons. There’s something fishy about that. I’m afraid there will be a major upheaval in the military region, so I specifically stopped by to give prior notice,” said James.
The King nodded and said, “Well, that’s to be expected. Go ahead… Abide by the rules regardless of who is involved. It’s time for a clean-up and for a significant replacement of personnel. In fact, I’ve been wanting to take action for a while now, but there haven’t been any opportunities. In addition, I was also concerned that if 1 took action against these people, the Capital would descend into chaos.”
