Chapter 716
James glanced at the Emperor and spoke in a frail voice, “Thank you for your concern. I’m doing well, for now.”
The Emperor smiled. “You’ll be on public trial tomorrow. All of your crimes will be listed. Say … Do you think you’ll be executed?”
James looked at the Emperor and said nothing.
Even though he was furious, he remained composed. After all, he did not wish to waste his strength.
The Emperor continued, “You’ll be on trial in another eight hours. Since your position is simply too high, considering that you’re the commander-in-chief of the Southern Plains and the Dragon King, your trial will be judged by the remaining four commanders-in-chief, the General – Secretary, and the Chief Executive. Do you wish to die or spend the remainder of your life in this dark and damp cell?”
James took a deep breath and asked, “I have never crossed you or the big shots in the Capital. I’m just minding my own business in the Southern Plains. Why are you so fixated on removing me?”
James was curious to know.
“Is that so?”
The Emperor smiled coldly and ordered, “Bring me a chair.”
Soon, the chair was here.
The Emperor sat and lit a cigarette. Then, he looked at James and said smilingly, “It’s precisely because you’re the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon army. Do you know how your predecessor died thirty years ago?”
James stared at the Emperor.
The Emperor continued, “That’s because the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon army had veto power during the great reformation thirty years ago. The National Election is around the corner. If anyone obtains a higher approval rating than the previous King, then he will be the new King. However, if the Black Dragon General chooses to exercise his veto power, the new King won’t be able to assume his position.
“The current King was able to assume his position only because the previous Black Dragon died.”
James asked calmly, “Are you saying that the previous Black Dragon died in a power struggle?”
“You could say that.”
“But I’ve resigned from my position. I’m no longer the Black Dragon or the Black Dragon army’s commander-in-chief. Why are you still after me?” James looked at the Emperor.
He knew that the Emperor must have a hidden agenda. If he could make him spill the beans, it would be advantageous for his plans.
