“Boom!”
A deafening blast came. Then, the earth shook.
Carrying Tiara in his arms, James immediately leaped to safety.
The others made their escape too. As they were all highly skilled, they could leap several meters with a single jump.
After they made their escape, the entrance of the laboratory exploded into a ball of flames.
A chain of explosions soon followed. The violent explosions caused the mountain to cave in, and the whole place was in ruins.
A thousand meters away…
James and the other stood on a nearby hill and watched the mountain cave in.
His face darkened, and he said, “Looks like there were other exits in this research laboratory. After being saved, the Emperor must have activated the self-destruction mechanism to destroy all the evidence. The research data in my hands isn’t sufficient to bring him down. Even if I make an appeal, I’m not going anywhere.”
“What should we do then?” Blake looked at James.
James shook his head. “This was the perfect opportunity to kill the Emperor, but he escaped. I believe this was a true showdown between us. Once he comes to his senses, he will surely retaliate.”
He frowned.
This was the perfect opportunity. However, he allowed the Emperor to escape.
Once the Emperor returned to the Capital, it would be nigh impossible to go after his life. James could not just head to the Emperor’s Mansion and kill him. He would become wanted, making it impossible for him to move around the country.
