Chapter 757
Originally, the Emperor wanted to kill James.
Although James was crippled, the fact that he was alive was enough to keep the Emperor at his wits’ ends.
In the past, the Emperor could not get rid of him as he still possessed the Blade of Justice. Even though he had resigned from his position, his death would still be investigated.
However, now that James was a civilian and had handed over the Blade of Justice, no one would care if he was dead or alive.
As long as the Emperor covered it up well, he would be safe.
Learning that James was looking for something, he once again had a change of mind.
James must be looking for something extraordinary. He intended to grab it before killing him off once and for all.
He hung up but was still worried. After a while, he made another phone call.
“Is the person you reached out to reliable?”
The hoarse voice sounded from the phone. “Don’t worry. He’s absolutely reliable. He was a mercenary abroad and worked with me. We’ve been through life and death together. If you give him enough money, he’ll kill even the King of Sol if he can.
The Emperor thought for a while and said, “James isn’t just anybody. Even after crippling him, I’m still worried about him being a threat. Even Floyd didn’t stand a chance against him. You should go to Cansington in person, keep an eye on him, and grab whatever he finds in the cavern.”
The person on the other end of the phone hesitated.
“Boss, there are many people with him right now, including Thea, Quincy, Daniel, and the soldiers of the Blithe army.”
“Kill them all. Don’t leave any evidence.”
“Understood.”
The Emperor hung up the phone and threw it on the table. He leaned back on the sofa and touched his face pensively.
“James, you sure are worrisome. Even while crippled, you’re not saving me any trouble,” he murmured.
On Mount Dragon Treasure, Kensington. On the riverbank of Fortune River…
Not long after James had his dinner, his stomach started grumbling again. He ate another meal and began to feel drowsy, so he left to rest in the tent.
Quincy and Thea remained in front of the campfire.
