The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 825 Although Gloom had been in the Capital all this while, he was well aware of everything that was happening in Cansington.

Naturally, he had heard about yesterdays events and was here to have a discussion with James.

You were too reckless.

Glooms face darkened.

Huh? James looked at him.

Gloom continued, You confronted the Emperor headon.

Although youve forced him to blow up all of his research laboratories, all evidence was destroyed in the process.

Now, it would be nearly impossible to find dirt on him.

Hes a cautious man who doesnt repeat the same mistakes.

How are we supposed to remove him from his position now? James said coldly, So what if we remove him from his position? Hes not the mastermind behind this.

Theres someone else behind the scenes manipulating everything.

Even if we remove him, a new enemy would appear to replace him.

Gloom could not conceal his shock.

He never expected James to know so much in such a short amount of time, not to mention that he had managed to cultivate True Energy and become a grandmaster of martial arts.

James looked at him and asked, Whos the one behind the Emperor? Is it the Ancient Four? Gloom shook his head.

No.

The Emperors full name is Theodore Johnston.

Hes from the side family of the Ancient Fours Johnston family.

Besides, the Ancient Four would never get themselves involved in the power struggle of the Solean court.

James was surprised.

He never expected Gloom to have heard about the Ancient Four.

It seemed that he was not merely a bodyguard.

Speak.

What business do you have with me? Gloom handed a document to James.

James asked, Whats this? Gloom replied, Since youve had a showdown with the Emperor, hell have to go.

This is evidence of the Emperors crimes all these years.

It should be enough to remove him from his position.

James flipped through the document and looked at Gloom puzzledly.

The fact that this document was being handed to him could only mean that the King knew what the Emperor had been doing all this while.

Why did he not remove the Emperor from his position but instead allowed him to do as he pleased? He even directed James to make a move on the Emperor to collect evidence.

What was the point of all this? As if aware of James thoughts, Gloom hurriedly explained, Its complicated.

The King has long wished to reshuffle the cards.

However, the dynamics in the Capital are both complex and complicated.

Each powerful figure is nothing more than a pawn.

Not only that, their interests are entangled with each others.

The Johnstons of the Ancient Four are not the only 1/2 benefactors of the Emperor.

Think of it like a row of dominoes.

A single push, and everything.

comes crashing down.

Thats why the King dared not act recklessly.

Then, why act now? James asked puzzledly.

Gloom explained, Because youre the one carrying it out.

The King wanted you to collect evidence and remove the Emperor from his position.

However, time is running short.

Besides, youve emerged as a figure that cant be underestimated.

Only you can kill the Emperor and prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

Why? James was puzzled.

Was he now a force to be reckoned with just because he cultivated True Energy? What other forces had an influence on the dynamics of the Capital and Sol apart from the Ancient Four? Who was the one behind the Emperor? Who were the ones involved in the plan a century ago? Everything was like an enigma to James.

No one told him anything.

Gloom said, Because youre a Caden, the leader of the Ancient Four.

Not only that, youre now a grandmaster in martial arts.

Even though youve just recently accomplished such a feat.

and have yet to be classified as a first rank, you demonstrate immense potential.

Your every action represents the Cadens.

No matter how strong those forces in the Capital are, theyll have to be careful not to cross the Cadens.

James took a deep breath.

Gloom had revealed the true extent of the Cadens influence in Sol.

I want to know more, James looked at Gloom and said.
