Chapter 1481
Each faction tried to guess the other’s thoughts.
The Gu Sect decided not to take action.
Lance, the leader of Orient Commerce, also did not take action.
James’ journey with Graydon to the courthouse went very smoothly.
Graydon was pushed out of the car.
Seeing the courthouse gates, he slightly panicked and hurriedly shouted, “What’re you doing, James?What’re you doing?!”
Walking ahead of the troops, James stopped and walked toward Graydon. He said with a faint smile,What else can I bring you to the courthouse for? The courthouse is used to trial influential figures. Youshould be proud to be sentenced in the courthouse.”
“Who do you think you are to trial me? Let go of me! I want to make a phone call! Give me a phone. Ineed to make a call!”
Graydon panicked.
He knew if he did not call for help, it would be too late if he were brought into the courthouse andconvicted.
“You want to make a phone call? Who can you call to save you now?”
James smiled faintly and ordered, “Bring him inside.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Let go of me! Let go immediately!
“Do you know who’s the person behind me, James? It’s the founding King! You’ll die if you touch me!”
Graydon kept shouting.
However, James ignored him.
After Graydon was brought into the courthouse, James also walked inside.
“Emperor.”
A man in his forties stood at the entrance of the courthouse.
He was the chief justice of the courthouse, Francesco Gardner.
Nathaniel had informed Francesco of this in advance. Thus, he was already aware that James wasgoing to arrest and interrogate someone tonight.
However, seeing that it was Graydon, he was slightly nervous.
Francesco was the chief justice and considered one of Sol’s most influential figures.
In the Capital, he was considered a prominent figure.
Moreover, he was a subordinate of Lance.
Orient Commerce single-handedly promoted him.
“What’re you doing, Emperor? What crime has General Zabel committed for him to be put on trialtonight? Why don’t we lock him up and wait until dawn?”
Upon hearing this, James glared at Francesco.
“Hmm? Are you trying to buy time for Graydon? Then, how about I investigate you before him? ShouldI first dismiss your position as the chief justice if I find something off with you?”
Francesco broke out in a cold sweat and replied jokingly, “You sure know how to joke around, Emperor.I’ll go and prepare to start the trial right away.”
James looked at Franceso and smiled.
He had been in the Capital for a while..
After Mr. Gabriel handed him the information about the people of the Gu Sect, he could roughlydistinguish which side these prominent figures stood on.novelbin
There were only three factions-the Gu Sect, Orient Commerce, and the King.
Since Francesco had tried to help Graydon, he must also belong to Orient Commerce and was Lance’ssubordinate.
James rolled his eyes as he thought about whether he should use this opportunity to get rid of thecourthouse’s chief justice and arrange for one of his own subordinates to take over.
That would make it easier for him to act in the future.
He immediately took out his phone and called the King.
The King answered almost instantly.
“What’s the matter, James?”
James knew that many people were watching him. However, since no one was coming to interfere, hehad a rough guess of their thoughts.
He said smilingly, “King, I think there’s something suspicious about the courthouse’s chief justice. Getready a document to dismiss him, and I’ll arrange for someone else to take over.”
“Easy for you to say, James. How will I dismiss a chief justice so easily? Do what you want, but don’task me to officiate any documents. I’ll need several parties to approve the documents, and they’redefinitely not going to be approved.”
