Roar of the Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 848

The King replied doubtfully, “I have no idea what the God-King Palace is, nor have I ever heard of it.”

This strange development had James in a quandary.

If the God-King Palace had not been ordered by the King to assist him, then why did they interfere and turn the situation in James’ favor? Why would they allow him to execute the Emperor?

The King looked at Gloom quizically and raised his eyebrows. “You’re extremely well-read. Have you ever come across any mentions of the God-King Palace?”

Gloom still had a look of uncertainty on his face. “No, this is the first time I’ve heard of them.”

James took a sharp breath.

He came to see the King specifically to learn more about the God-King Palace. However, even the King was not aware of their existence or their purpose.

Who’s side did the God-King Palace stand on? Were they truly allies?

The King did not dwell too long on the subject. “Since the Emperor is now dead, there will be a lot of work for us to do. You should return and get all the rest you need. Tomorrow morning, we’ll disclose the events that took place last night and reveal the Emperor’s innumerable sins to the world. While we’re on the topic, due to the Emperor’s death, the Red Flame Army now lacks a leader. Would you be interested in overseeing them as well?”

James politely declined the offer. “No, thank you. I don’t even want the title of Dragon King nor do I want to still be the commander of the Black Dragon Army any longer. All I want at this point is to live a carefree life. Once the dust has settled, I plan to retire for good.”

The King stared at him with a somber expression. “Not only is this a lofty position, but this kind of opportunity doesn’t come knocking twice. You should consider it carefully before outright declining.”

“Great power begets an immense amount of responsibility. I’ve had my fill of political intrigue for ten lifetimes. Thank you very much.” James shot down the offer once again. He really had no intention or desire to become the head of the five commanders-in-chief.

“Alright then. Moving forward, you’ll have to be on your guard. Not only did you kill the Emperor, but you also made an enemy out of the Johnstons. People aren’t going to take this lying down.”

The King warned James.

James stopped. The King had suddenly reminded him of something. “By the way, the Johnstons interfered with the mission last night and their actions can be considered as their willful obstruction of justice. Can I arrest them on these grounds?”

The King and Gloom were taken aback by James’ lackadaisical statement.

He wanted to… Arrest the Johnstons?

The King burst out in amused laughter after staying silent for a few seconds. “James, you’re the first and probably the last person that has the guts to make such a ludicrous suggestion. You should consider yourself lucky if the Johnstons choose not to pursue matters further. I can't believe you just said you wanted to arrest them… Let’s hope they don’t choose to escalate the situation any further..”

James shrugged in slight disappointment.
