Female Novel
Chapter 704
“Hahaha!”
Reign laughed.
“Your Holiness, these are James’ belongings.”
A man walked over to Reign and showed him the silver needles and the tiny steel wire which were
found on James.
Reign glanced at the items.
Though he was skilled at parasitic venoms, he knew nothing about the art of medicine. He felt that he
had no use for these items. He was unaware of what the Crucifier was capable of.
He simply tossed the items beside James and said coldly, “Return him his belongings.”
His henchman asked, “Why don’t we kill him straight away?”
“I wanted to.”
Reign sighed. “He’s still a Caden, after all. Caden’s blood runs through his veins. Besides, I promised
someone I’d spare his life. Now that he’s no longer a threat, it should be fine. Just leave him to his own
devices.”
Then, Reign turned to leave.
Thea no longer had a headache. She knew that Reign had fed her another poison. However, she was
still fine at the moment.
With disheveled hair, she stood up and staggered her way toward James. She wanted to help Jamesnovelbin
up. However, she could not exert any strength herself.
“Sob…
“James, you’re not dying on me.”
She was tearful.
“It’s all my fault for getting you involved.”
James was lying on the floor.
At that moment, he could not exert a single ounce of strength.
He was a doctor highly skilled in the art of medicine. However, he could not figure out his current
condition.
Though he wanted to stand, he could not.
“D-Don’t touch me… Let me rest for a bit.”
James could feel something buzzing in his ears.
Thea’s sniveling agitated him.
Upon hearing this, Thea shut her mouth.
James lay on the floor and rested.
After ten minutes, he felt he had regained some of his strength. However, he could only barely stand.
He stood up and tried taking a few steps.
Though he could still walk, every step seemed to take a toll on him.
“D*mn it! What kind of poison is this?”
James sat on the chair and cursed.
At the same time…
Reign had left Mt. Thunder. He gave the Emperor a call. “James is now crippled. He will no longer be a
threat to you.”
“I want him dead. He’s a threat to me as long as he’s alive.”
Reign said calmly, “He’s no different from a dead man.”
“But he’s still the Dragon King, one of the most powerful men in Sol. I can’t be at ease knowing he’s still
alive.”
“In that case, think of a way to remove him from his position. You’re a master of intrigue. I believe this
should be a piece of cake for you.”
“Got it.”
The Emperor hung up the phone impatiently.
He thought James would be dead once Reign made his move. Now, however, Reign had spared
James’ life.
After hanging up the phone, he stroked his chin, contemplating how to best remove the Black Dragon
from his lofty position.
James had performed great meritorious service for Sol on the battlefield. Not only that, he was made
the Dragon King. Removing Sol’s hero and guardian from his position was no easy feat.
After some thinking, a grin crept up on his face.
“James, it’s all over for you.”
