Lance said indifferently, “That’s your problem. Go to the courthouse as soon as possible. I need to know what’s happening in there and what James is trying to accomplish.”
Lance contemplated for a long time and decided not to get rid of James just yet.
There would be no one to keep the Gu Sect in check and maintain a balance if James was gone.
Lucjan was not a pushover.
Lance was not confident in an absolute victory against Lucjan.
Therefore, he could only use James to suppress Lucjan.
Who James targeted was not important.
He could easily promote another person in seconds. Thus, James’ actions were not of concern.
“Understood. I’ll get going right now.”
Tobias did not say anything more. He turned around and left, heading to the courthouse with the Phantom Army.
“We’ve new intel that the Phantom Army has been dispatched.”
“The commander, Tobias, is leading members of the Phantom Army to the courthouse.”
The news spread like wildfire as soon as the Phantom Army was dispatched.
It was not long before the news spread to major families in the Capital.
All the major families in the Capital had been paying attention to the situation and waiting for the latest updates regarding the courthouse, especially the Sullivans and the Lees.
They were paying extra attention to the situation because Maxine had approached them to convince them to support James.
They were curious to see what James was capable of doing. Moreover, they wanted to observe the reaction of Orient Commerce and the Gu Sect.
Everyone was waiting.
The Dark Castle, Dragon Palace, Jake’s underground intelligence network, and the Red Flame Army’s intelligence network had launched investigations on everyone working in the courthouse.
The night passed silently.
It was a restless night for many.
Everyone was waiting for the latest updates.
At dawn, the investigation results were sent to the courthouse.
It was as James suspected. In such high positions, none of them were clean, and all of them had committed a crime of some sort. Some of the crimes were not severe enough for them to deserve the death penalty, but it was sufficient to get them dismissed from their positions.
