The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 124 The underground stone building in the Peoples Repair Shop.

A dozen or so mercenaries were kneeling on the floor.

Jake Graham, the so-called Boss and King of the Underworld, too was kneeling on the floor, shivering.

To secure his current position and title, he had to be acquainted with influential men.

Otherwise, he would have been long gone.

However, the imposing and awe-inspiring Boss of the Underworld was now kneeling on the floor like an obedient dog.

Soon, the man in the black vest returned with a handful of information.

Upon seeing his boss on the floor shivering, he staggered and fell.

The documents in his hands were scattered everywhere.

James glanced at Henry.

Henry took the hint.

He walked toward the man and retrieved the documents scattered across the floor.

Then, he handed it to James.

James read through them conscientiously.

As expected of Jake Graham and his underground intelligence network, even information that had been kept from official channels was recorded clearly.

Ten years ago, the Cadens was the most powerful family in Cansington.

They migrated from the Capital.

Thirty years ago, Thomas Caden arrived in Cansington and established the Cadens.

James frowned upon reading this.

The Cadens came from the Capital? What was going on? How had he not heard about this from his grandfather? He looked at Henry.

Upon reading the information in James hands and catching his gaze, Henry immediately tensed up and knelt on the floor.

Scarlett panicked upon seeing him kneel and proceeded to do the same.

Henry, how could you have missed something so simple? J-James… Henrys forehead was beaded with sweat.

He hurriedly explained, I-I dont know.

I looked for information through official channels.

If I couldnt find it, someone mustve erased the data.

James lightly waved.

Rise.

Dont ever kneel.

Youre like a brother to me.

Yes.

Henry got up and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Although James treated him as a brother, he knew his place.

He was only a subordinate to him.

James continued reading the information at hand.

The Cadens have a treasured scrollthe Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge.

The scroll was passed down thousands of years ago.

It was rumored to have hidden a terrific secret and was worth a great fortune.

Some powerful men had the scroll in their minds.

Thus, a conspiracy against the Cadens began to unfold.

Trent Xavier of The Great Four in Cansington convinced his sister, Rowena Xavier, to approach Nicholas Caden, son of Thomas, and marry him.

A year later, Rowena found her opportunity.

She appeared on Thomas bed and framed him.

The incident ruined Thomas and destroyed his relationship with his son, Nicholas.

Following that, she reported Nicholas for dereliction of his duties and corruption among other charges.

Nicholas got a heart attack out of frustration.

Rowena then pushed him down from the third floor, and he fell to his death.

On that night, all those involved gathered outside the Cadens residence.

Twenty-five men from The Great Four gathered by Flora Lakeside of the Cadens residences villa.

They took dozens of the Caden family captive and interrogated them on the whereabouts of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge.

The underworld forces stood guard outside the villa and met with The Great Four.

The underworld forces involved in this operation include Dawson, Black Wind Xander, Nine Fingers, and a few other unknowns.

The mastermind was unknown.

The whereabouts of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffsides Edge was unknown.

James continued flipping through the information.

Ten years later, Warren Xavier, the head of one of the Great Four, was dead.

Trent Xavier was dead.

All the leaders of the other three of The Great Four were dead.

Xander Lawrence was dead.

There were speculations that the Caden who had been rescued by Thea Callahan from that fire ten years ago was now back for vengeance.

The identity of the ghost-masked man was unknown.

The ghost-masked man was publicly executed by the Blithe King.

Upon reading this, James sighed deeply.

The information was rather detailed.

He learned of things he previously was unaware of.

For example, how the Cadens had migrated from the Capital His grandfather had not revealed any of that to him, and it was also not found in Henrys search.
