“Got it.”
Holding the Blade of Justice in his hand, he hurriedly left. He immediately headed over to the militaryregion.
“Emperor.”
As he entered the military region, many soldiers greeted him respectfully upon seeing him. Jamesnodded and went straight for the office.
Smack!
Before he could enter Henry’s office, he heard a commotion coming from inside.
“I’m warning you, Black Shadow. Release him now, or else you’ll face the consequences.”
James could hear rebukes coming from inside.
Opening the door, he could see an elderly man in a military uniform pointing his finger at Henry. “This isthe Capital, not the Southern Plains. You don’t call the shots around here.”
Henry, who did not dare utter a single word in retaliation, stood up and greeted James respectfullyupon noticing his arrival.
“Emperor.”
“I don’t care if James is here. Release him now,” the elderly man said coldly.novelbin
“Is that so?” James said nonchalantly.
The elderly man turned his head. Upon seeing James, he yelled, “You came at just the right time.Release Halvor Tuckson at once.”
Halvor Tuckson was the Patriarch of the Tucksons. A while ago, James came across the Tucksonfamily because of Delilah Kimberley’s matter and abducted Halvor. Though he wanted to make a moveagainst him, the chain of events that followed prevented him from doing so. As such, he could onlytemporarily imprison Halvor in a dungeon.
James looked at the elderly man before him. He was wearing a military uniform and a five–star badgeon his shoulder.
James recognized him. The elderly man was a former Emperor and commander–in–chief of the RedFlame Army who assumed the position before Theodore Johnston. He had long retired after reachingold age. However, even though he was no longer in position, he was still a renowned figure in themilitary.
“Yasir Parker, what are you doing here?” Looking at him, James said coldly, “If I’m not mistaken, youshould be almost ninety years old. What are you doing out here when you’re supposed to enjoy yourretirement?”
Henry was standing by the side. Though he wanted to laugh, he had to hold it in. Yasir was a formercommander, so Henry did not dare utter a single word when faced with rebuke. All this while, Yasir hadbeen applying pressure on him. Henry had no choice but to avoid him at all costs. Now that James hadreturned, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“James, release Halvor immediately. There are some people you can’t mess with,” Yasir threatenedcoldly. “You don’t call the shots around here,” James said nonchalantly. “Halvor Tuckson committedmany crimes. I’ll never release him before the investigation is completed. Mr. Parker, please return atonce.
Once I’ve finished investigating the matter, I’ll visit you personally and inform you of the outcome.”
“James…” Yasir gritted his teeth.
“Men, send the commander back,” James yelled.
Immediately, two soldiers walked in. However, the moment they saw Yasir, they froze and looked atone another, unsure of what to do.
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and escort Mr. Parker back. If anything happens to himwhile he’s in the military region, you will be held responsible for this,” James reprimanded them.
“Understood.”
“Please follow us, Mr. Parker.”
Yasir glared at James and said coldly, “You will regret this, James. Just wait.”
Then, he turned to leave.
“Pfft!”
The moment he left, Henry burst into a peal of laughter.
“You’re finally back, James. Yasir has been pressuring me all this while. I couldn’t stand it any longer.Only you have the audacity and the authority to rebuff him. Damn, that feels good.”
