The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 837

Chapter 837

At the Capital, in the Emperor’s Mansion…

It was a luxurious living room. On the table was a dizzying array of delicacies. Expensive drinks and alcohol were also available.

The Emperor was sitting on the sofa. With a brilliant smile on his face, he raised a wine glass. Here’s to you, Bobby.”

Sitting across the Emperor was a man just a little over twenty. He was dressed in an all-white suit and had a fair complexion and a dashing appearance. His presence was impressive. Bobby held up a wine glass and took a gentle sip. “I’m sure you have a request for me, Mr. Johnston. Whatever it is, just tell me,” he said nonchalantly.

The Emperor set his glass down and pointed to the delicacies on the table. “First, let’s eat,” he said with a smile.

Bobby still did not touch his plate.

As a member of the Caden family, he was aware of the current situation in the Capital. The main players in the game of political chess were supported by various sects. Only the Ancient Four could choose to stay above the fray.

One could even argue that some of the Ancient Four got involved as well.

“I don’t feel like eating, Mr. Johnston. Like I said, whatever it is, just tell me.”

The Emperor’s face became solemn. He lit a cigarette that he had taken from the table. As he inhaled deeply from the cigarette, smoke filled the air.

“To be honest, Bobby, the King is after me. I couldn’t get in touch with Mr. Lee and I have no knowledge of his stance on this matter. The Cadens have always been close to Mr. Lee. So, can you help me figure out whether it’s his or the King’s intention to assassinate me?”

The Emperor invited Bobby to dinner because he wanted to know what was going on behind the scenes.

Mr. Lee was a very powerful man. Thirty years ago, the King was able to advance to the throne because Mr. Lee was assisting him in the dark.

The man behind the King was indeed Mr. Lee.

The Emperor knew Mr. Lee and had met him a few times, but they were not close. Besides, the man behind him was at odds with Mr. Lee.

However, the Emperor believed that his actions were well-hidden from the King and Mr. Gabriel.

Bobby had to do a double take at the Emperor. He tapped his finger on the table and said nonchalantly, “Mr. Johnston, I’m afraid I can’t help you. I believe you’re aware of Mr. Lee’s status. I’m from the Caden family’s younger generation, so I’m not qualified to ask him for information.”

“Bobby, please help me out.”

“Right, Mr. Johnston. Aren’t you doing Mr. Gabriel’s bidding? Why are you seeking information from your opponent, Mr. Lee, instead of approaching him when there’s trouble now?”
