Chapter 728

She looked at the groggy James, pointed at the wheelchair, and said, “Get on.”

James was amused and laughed. “Seriously? You’re exaggerating my condition. I can still walk.”

Quincy said sternly, “Don’t be stubborn. Get on right now. The doctor said that your condition is annovelbin

unprecedented one. You shouldn’t move around unless absolutely necessary. The virus in your body is

constantly absorbing your energy. Thus, the more you move, the more active the virus cells.”

James nodded. The doctor’s statement was similar to his conjecture.

He sat up from the bed.

Quincy quickly walked over and supported him onto the wheelchair. Then, she pushed James out of

the hospital.

Outside the hospital…

Quincy asked, “Where are you off to?”

James scanned the bustling city. He was perplexed.

He felt that the city had no place for him, despite how large it was.

James sighed and replied, “Let’s find a hotel for now, and we’ll return to Cansington after a few days.”

“Alright.”

Quincy knew that James had plans in the Capital. However, she was not in on it and was not in a

position to pry into his business.

Although clueless, she could sense that it was important.

She pushed James toward a car, propped him into the seat, and put away the wheelchair into the trunk.

Then, she drove off.

Quincy booked them a presidential suite in a five-star hotel.

After checking in at the hotel, James did not leave. He patiently waited for Gloom’s reply.

The day passed by.

At night, Gloom finally showed up.

On the hotel room balcony…

James looked at Gloom and asked, “What’s his reply?”

Gloom said, “The King has agreed. He has given me the order to fully assist in your affairs.”

Hearing this, James was relieved.

“We’ve also created an opportunity for you. In three days, the King will be leaving the Capital for

Livergh. The secretary general, chief executive, Red Flame army’s commander, and most officials will

be heading together to discuss cooperation between the two countries. This will be your chance to act.”

“Alright.” James nodded pensively.

Although the Emperor would be leaving, the prison was still heavily guarded. If not careful, the news of

the prison break would spread, and countless soldiers from the Red Flame Army would besiege his

accomplices.

After thinking about it for a while, James said, “I’ll come up with a prison break plan. When the time

comes, I’ll need you to assist me.”

Gloom took out a note and handed it to him. “My number. Call me if you need anything.”

James took the note, glanced at it, and shredded it.

“See you.”

Gloom walked to the edge of the balcony and jumped off.

James’ gaze followed him downward.

Gloom swiftly slid down the pipes like gushing water, descending the building rapidly. He jumped from

the eighth floor but landed on the ground almost instantly. Soon, his figure blended into the dark alleys.

“Impressive skills.”

James took a deep breath in amazement.

Gloom was the King’s personal bodyguard, after all. It was only natural for him to have extraordinary

skills.

James was confident in his strength but knew he had no hope of winning against the mysterious

Gloom. He would have to use his ultimate weapon, Crucifier, to stand a chance against him.

James returned to the hotel room and took out the Crucifier.

It was in the form of a wire.

He tapped on the wire, which instantly scattered, turning into countless silver needles.

Then, he picked up the silver needles and gently squeezed them together. The scattered needles

quickly combined and turned into a steel wire again.

“The Crucifier does not conform to modern physics. What are the secrets behind this weapon?”

James played around with the Crucifier and mumbled to himself.

He had acquired the Crucifier from a cave. His medical book briefly explained the methods to transform

the weapons but did not mention the specific function of it.

James had been researching it over the years but had not found anything conclusive.
