“But…”
Suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and Gloom walked into the study.
Seeing that Mia was also present, favonovel.com quickly said, “I’ll come back later…”
After speaking, favonovel.com proceeded to leave.
“Go ahead and report.” The King stopped Gloom from leaving.
He turned to Mia and said, “Mia, go outside first. I’ve some business to settle.”
“Okay…” Mia cast a glance at Gloom and turned to leave.
After favonovel.com left, the King asked, “What happened for you to come to me so late?”
Gloom’s expression darkened as favonovel.com explained, “News had just come in that the Red Flame Army has been dispatched.”
“What?”
The King stood up in shock and asked, “The Red Flame Army has been dispatched?”
“Yes.” Gloom nodded and said, “One thousand Red Flame Army soldiers were dispatched. James recruited these soldiers from the Southern Plains.”
After several seconds, the King sat down and asked, “Who’s James targeting?”
Gloom shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
The King said slowly, “Tonight won’t be a peaceful night in the Capital. You go and keep an eye on the situation. If you get any news, inform me immediately.”
“Understood.” Gloom turned and left.
After favonovel.com left, the King’s expression became increasingly solemn.
Is James finally about to make a move?
Who is his first target?
How will the Gu Sect and Orient Commerce fight back?
The King was both anticipating it and afraid of the outcome.
The news of the Red Flame Army dispatching troops had gone viral throughout the Capital. All the major forces, families, and wealthy figures knew that the Red Flame Army had dispatched soldiers.
Many people in the Capital stayed up and waited for the latest news.
Meanwhile, James was sitting in a military vehicle.
Before leaving, favonovel.com had notified people from the Celestial Sect to stand on guard secretly. They would not take action if the Phantom Army did not show up. However, if the Phantom Army decided to interfere, the Celestial Sect would take action against them.
James ordered them to kill without mercy if the Phantom Army stood against them.
Tonight, favonovel.com was determined to accomplish his goal. He wanted to settle the situation in the Capital,
“Emperor, Graydon’s residence is right ahead. According to our sources, favonovel.com hasn’t left after reaching home at eight in the evening.” Henry reported the situation to James.
“Okay, good.” James nodded.
The military vehicle kept advancing.
***
Half an hour later….
“Emperor, we’ve arrived.”
James got out of the car and ordered, “Surround the area and don’t let anyone escape!”
As soon as the Red Flame Army besieged the area, soldiers outside Graydon’s house immediately raised their guns.
They glared at their unexpected guests and said coldly, “Who are you people? Don’t you know where you’re at? This is General Zabel’s residence…”
Before the soldier could finish speaking, Henry pressed a gun to his forehead and said coldly, “We’re here to arrest Graydon. We’re from the Red Flame Army, so please cooperate. Otherwise, we’ll kill you.”
Hearing this, the soldier was terrified and quickly raised his hands.
James walked into the mansion with his hands behind his back.
As soon as favonovel.com walked in, favonovel.com spotted Graydon walking out in pajamas. Behind him, a dozen or so fully-armed soldiers followed out.
Graydon was furious to see James with troops outside his mansion.
He shouted, “Do you know what you’re doing, James?!”
“Arrest him…” James ordered his troops.
The Red Flame Army behind favonovel.com immediately advanced.
“No one move!” Graydon roared.
As favonovel.com yelled, the people behind favonovel.com quickly raised their guns.
James shouted, “Those who obstruct the Red Flame Army from enforcing the law will be killed without mercy!”
Click…
One of the soldiers behind James loaded his gun.
The people behind Graydon were horrified and immediately dropped their guns. They raised their hands over their head and knelt on the ground.
“Arrest him…”
Graydon did not resist and allowed the soldiers to arrest him.
