The Johnstons were one of the families that made up the Ancient Four. These families were able to trace their lineage to the principal officials of the Prince of Orchid’s court a thousand years ago.
Since antiquity, the Johnstons were a family that revolved around Martial Arts. Every member of the family was required to practice it. Unfortunately, talent was still the determining factor in how far one could go and how well one would perform in Martial Arts. As such, not every individual is able to rise to the top. The Emperor was one such person in their family.
Despite his status and heritage as a Johnston, he did not have a mote of talent whatsoever.
Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning were major officials that had been specifically brought up by the Johnstons. Throughout the years, the Johnstons scoured the world for particularly talented orphans in hopes of nurturing their talents from a young age and inducting them into the fold.
However, only these four major officials became martial art grandmasters. They were not just highly skilled but they also managed to achieve the third rank after cultivating.
After receiving the patriarch’s orders, Kennedy immediately set out to capture James along with the four major officials.
At a military region of the Capital…
James was fast asleep.
The moment he woke up, he scrolled through various social media sites and news feeds on his phone. The Emperor’s death was currently the most searched topic on the internet. The number of popular search queries on this topic had easily exceeded 100 million.
After giving his screen a cursory glance, James got dressed and headed out.
“Sir!”
On his way out, the soldiers all greeted him respectfully, to which James nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The moment he walked out of the front gate of the military region, a black sedan stopped right in front of him.
Then, an elderly man stepped out of the car.
Also exiting the car were four people─three men and one woman. They were all around 40 years of age.
“The Johnstons’ sect elder…?”
Upon seeing the elderly man, James scowled. He had a bad feeling about this. He knew that the Johnstons were furious after he executed one of their own. It seems that they had come here to settle the score.
Normally, no one was allowed to meddle in the Johnstons’ affairs. Not even the King had the power to interfere.
