Graydon did not resist because he knew he might get killed if he did.
James possessed the Blade of Justice and had the power to enforce the law without having to justify it first.
Therefore, he chose to compromise.
He believed the news would spread and someone would come to rescue him soon.
The people who were standing behind him would not allow James to break the balance in the Capital.
After James arrested Graydon, he did not choose to return to the military region. Instead, he headed straight to the courthouse. He planned to interrogate Graydon through the night and convict him. Then, James could kill him if he were to get the death sentence.
James wanted to know what would happen after Graydon was killed.
He would kill anyone who stepped up to interfere.
While James was bringing Graydon to the courthouse, Lucjan sat on a sofa in his residence in the Capital.
It was a courtyard house in the suburbs.
Several fully-armed soldiers guarded the outside of the courtyard house.
Other people were also gathered in the living room.
At that moment, people from the Gu Sect reported the situation to Lucjan.
“Sir, there’s news that James led troops to arrest Graydon, a three-star general promoted to the Red Flame Army.”
After hearing that Graydon was arrested, Lucjan smiled and said, “Don’t interfere. Let him struggle. He should wipe out all the people from Orient Commerce so I can sit back and reap the benefits.”
“I’m afraid that won’t be a good idea, Sir.”
An old man sat opposite Lucjan.
The old man looked to be in his seventies. He was dressed in a gray robe with long hair and a beard.
He gently stroked his beard and wore an unreadable expression. He explained, “You can’t let James do as he pleases and deal this first blow. If he were to take action right now, his next move would be a big one. He must be stopped.”
Lucjan looked at the old man and asked, “What do you think we should do?”
The old man with long hair in the gray robe was Lucjan’s advisor.
