Female Novel
Chapter 1081
The Ancient Four had participated in the battle a hundred years ago.
After the victory, they also joined the fight against the Gu Sect.
After both battles, they stopped interfering with the world’s affairs.
The King of Sol could not control these four families nor restrain them.
Despite that, the three families of the Ancient Four wanted to inform him that they wanted to deal with
James.
After their discussion, the three heads decided to meet the King together.
Otherwise, one person alone might not be enough to convince him.
Soon, they arrived at Heavenly Palace.
However, the King was in a meeting and not around.
The three of them stayed and waited patiently.
After the King learned that the three family heads had come to visit him, he hurried back after his
meeting.
The King walked into Heavenly Palace’s living room, took off his coat, and casually threw it to Gloom
behind him. He approached the three family heads and said with a smile, “What’s the matter today?
This is the first time the heads of the Johnstons, Sullivans, and Lees have personally come to visit me.”
Hades went straight to the point. “We’ve come to inform you that our three families have decided to lay
our hands on James in three days.”
The King’s face immediately darkened.
However, he had been in power for so long and had dealt with countless powerful people. He quickly
recovered and looked at the three heads, saying calmly, “The Ancient Four have never interfered with
political affairs. James is the Dragon King and Commander of the Red Flame Army. By touching
James, does this mean that your families plan to involve yourselves in politics? This will mean violating
the agreement made a hundred years ago, which also means I’m allowed to take action against your
families?”
Although the King maintained a calm tone, it was full of threats.
Zaiden of the Sullivans replied coldly, “It’s not that we want to involve ourselves in politics. This is
simply a grudge between the Ancient Four and a coincidence that James holds important positions.
Thus, we came to inform you about it.”
Hades nodded and continued, “The Cadens have stolen our families’ treasure paintings. James
practiced the cultivation method hidden in them, allowing his strength to grow by leaps and bounds in a
short period. He’ll be coming after us next to get rid of the Cadens’ hurdles. We can’t sit still and do
nothing.”
“He won’t. James will never take action against your families. I can guarantee this,” the King reassured
them.
“Your assurance means nothing to us. This is related to the survival of our families. We must take
action against James. We’ll capture him and force him to tell us about the secret in the four paintings,”
Zaiden said firmly.novelbin
The three heads did not bother saying anything more to the King and left after informing him.
The King leaned on the sofa and gently massaged his temples.
“Gloom, what do you think?”
Standing behind him, Gloom replied, “Isn’t this what you wished to see happen? The Ancient Four are
the strongest in the ancient martial world. However, they’ve never participated in political affairs. You
trained James to kill the Emperor to make the Ancient Four fight against each other, right?”
The King parted his lips and said, “That was the case, but compared to dealing with the Ancient Four, I
would prefer for James to kill Mr. Gabriel so the people behind him would finally reveal themselves.
Throughout the years, I’ve been unable to find out who else is supporting Mr. Gabriel. Plus, this isn’t a
fight between the Ancient Four. It’s a three versus four.”
The King’s face filled with worry.
James was crucial, and he did not want anything to happen to James yet.
Gloom fell silent.
“By the way, do you also think James’ strength grew rapidly because he practiced the cultivation
method in the Four Great Paintings?”
Gloom thought for a while and said, “Other than that, I can’t think of another way he could become
overpowering in such a short time.”
“Alright. You’re dismissed.” The King waved his hand.
“Understood.” Gloom turned and left.
Afterward, the King took out his phone and made a call.
Soon, a person showed up before him.
The person was elderly, seemingly in his eighties, and was dressed in a frock coat. Despite his age, he
had an incredibly energetic appearance.
