The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 774 Outside the door… Quincy propped James up and looked at him with concern.

James, you already know that hes dangerous, so why do you still insist on getting him to collaborate with you? James halted his steps for a while and said, Hes Dark Castles founder, one of the deadliest assassins guilds in the world.

He has huge sway in the underworld, and itll be easier for me to get things done with his help.

Quincy asked worriedly, What if he just pretends to agree and disappears after getting the antidote from you? James thought for a moment and said, That probably wont happen.

Although Blake was a ruthless and vicious man that had no qualms about killing, he was still a martial artist.

James was familiar with a martial artists core tenants.

They always stayed true to their word.

This was only applicable to those who had dedicated years to training, though.

Most that have yet to reach a certain level in martial arts would often go back on their word.

Blake was someone who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts and as such, would never go back.

on his word once he agreed.

James… Suddenly, he heard the click of a door opening behind him and the sound of someone calling for him.

James turned around and saw Blake opening the door.

Immediately, a smile crept on James face.

Hmm? Whats the matter? Have you already thought it through? asked James, cocking his head innocently.

Lets talk inside.

Blake turned around and went back inside the apartment.

James followed him inside.

James saw the broken living room table and could not help remarking, Your strength is outstanding.

Blake ignored his statement and asked, What do you want out of this deal? James said, Since I became the Black Dragon, I could sense that someone has constantly been targeting me.

I handed in my resignation and came to Cansington but still faced a lot of trouble.

After my resignation was approved, there was a conspiracy to assassinate me, and these schemes to bring me down have only gotten more devious as time assed.

The person behind all these machinations… is the Emperor.

At first, I couldnt understand his objectives.

After getting poisoned with Gu, I have a general sense of what hes trying to accomplish.

If Im guessing correctly, its exactly as you said before.

Hes re-attempting the plan that failed a hundred years ago.

He wants to use Gu to bring the world to its knees.

Moreover, hes not working alone.

There is someone much stronger backing him In addition, the election is coming up soon, and the Capitals political parties are at each others throats.

The Kings position is highly coveted, and countless people have their eyes on it.

The presiding King has a candidate in mind and is trying to pave the way for him.

The Capital is bound for a political shake-up.

This isnt an easy task to deal with.

The Emperor alone is already going to be a huge pain in the *ss.

Blake looked at James and asked, Im not interested in political affairs.

Lets cut to the chase, what exactly do you need me to do? James returned his stare head-on and said, I want you to take charge of the Dark Castle again.

I need your influence in the underworld to help me with some affairs, including providing me with information and dispatching killers to dispose of people when necessary.

Thats it? Blake doubtfully retorted.

Thats it.

James nodded.

Blake contemplated for a while.

Then, he nodded, saying, Alright.

I agree to help you, but Ive got one condition.

What is it? James cocked his eyebrow.

I want you to teach me the cultivation method.

That wont be a problem.

However, Ive just only acquired the knowledge and have yet to put it into practice.

Ill teach you after successfully cultivating True Energy and becoming a grandmaster.

I trust that the Dragon King will keep his promises.

I also believe the Dark Castles master wont resort to underhanded tactics.

The two smiled in unison and have each other a firm handshake.

James stood up and turned around before he left.

Alright, get some good rest.

I wont intrude any further for today.

Ill come back to see you in a few more days.

After walking out of Blakes temporary residence, he finally felt relief from the earlier tense atmosphere.

Finally, I managed to persuade him.

This marks the beginning of the fight between the Emperor and me.
