The Black Dragon Army obeyed only the Black Dragon.
After the previous Black Dragon died, the Black Dragon Army remained without a commander until James’ achievements allowed him to rise and claim the position as the new commander.
The Emperor approached, sat on the sofa, and crossed his legs. He glanced at the Blithe King with a dim expression but said with a smile, “Why not? Does the Blithe King not welcome me?”
“Not at all…”
The Blithe King’s expression softened, and he asked with a smile, “You’re in charge of countless things and must be busy. I was curious why you would leave the Capital and come to Cansington.”
The Emperor replied with a smile, “Well, Cansington’s medical conference is happening very soon, and since the borders are peaceful now, I’ve given myself a two-week vacation. I wanted to visit Cansington and see Sol’s grand annual event. Also, I wanted to meet a few old friends while I’m here.”
Although the Emperor said so, the Blithe King knew he was not in Cansington for fun.
He remained silent on the sofa.
The Emperor continued to speak, “By the way, I heard that the Black Dragon didn’t die and appeared in Cansington as the son-in-law of the Callahans. Last night, he called you to privately sent troops to help him solve some trouble?”
“I didn’t send troops to help him solve personal problems. I received a report that there was a criminal gang gathering.” The Blithe King corrected him.
“You’re overstepping your boundaries. You’re the commander-in-chief of the five armies. These are matters of the local police forces. I hope you remain within your jurisdiction and don’t act recklessly. Otherwise, it’ll be a serious crime that might even threaten your position.”
The Blithe King understood that the Emperor was here to criticize his actions.
It was because he helped James.
Faced with the Emperor’s questioning, the Blithe King replied calmly, “Police forces? Do they dare to get involved in the Five Provinces Business Alliance’s affairs? The alliance has almost absolute authority throughout the five provinces. I didn’t investigate thoroughly and had already given those bigwigs enough face.”
“Blithe King, the situation has changed now. I hope you’re smart enough to recognize the best side to be on right now.”
The Emperor did not say anything more. He picked up his hat on the table, stood up, and left after giving a warning.
After the Emperor left, the Blithe King took out his phone and called James.
“Where are you?”
“Just left the military hospital. What’s wrong?”
“Wait there. I’ll come to see you right away.”
The Blithe King hung up the phone, dressed in casual clothes, and headed out.
James waited at the entrance of the military hospital.
About 20 minutes later, an ordinary vehicle appeared in front of James. The window rolled down, and the Blithe King waved to him.
“Get in.”
James got into the car.
