The Emperor was finally dead.
James chose to simply put an end to things with the Blade of Justice as he wanted to avoid providing an opportunity for the Emperor to escape. He knew that had the Emperor been put on trial beforehand, the man would have used one of the tricks up his sleeve to evade the justice of the law.
Not only was he a powerful man with connections at every level of society, but the Emperor also had the Johnstons supporting him from behind the scenes.
Every turn of his mission to kill the Emperor was full of obstacles.
He never expected that the Johnstons would have the audacity to bar his path and go so far as to even attack the Black Dragon Army. These were serious offenses against the law.
The Emperor’s body was brought back to the military region.
In a military region of the Capital…
The Black Dragon Army returned after carrying out their mission successfully.
James personally saw to their injuries.
Their internal injuries were minor at most and their lives were not at risk.
After treating their injuries, James chose to immediately head toward Peace Mansion.
At Peace Mansion…
The night crept by at a slow and agonizing pace for the King. He had lost sleep and was kept up by the anticipation of receiving good news from James.
Gloom stood by his side stonily. “I’ve just received word that James had successfully carried out the Emperor’s execution. The Black Dragon Army has returned with his body.”
Upon hearing the fortuitous news, the King’s eyes lit up. “The Johnstons had taken the Emperor back to their place in an attempt to cover for him. How did James manage to kill the Emperor who even had the sect elder’s direct protection?”
Gloom shook his head in uncertainty. “The specifics are still unclear. We’ll need to wait for James to arrive and debrief us. He should be here soon.”
“I see. Let us wait then”
Half an hour later, James finally arrived at Peace Mansion.
