Chapter 687


    James was not convinced that Floyd had actually called the Emperor.


    However, he knew that even if the receiver of the call was not the Emperor, the real person must have


    been listening from somewhere else.


    No voice came from the phone.


    James continued despite theck of response. “I don’t care what you’re after. I’ll definitely stop you.”


    “Beep!”


    The other party hung up the phone.


    “You’re not leaving here alive, ck Dragon.” Floyd looked at James and threatened him. “There’s a


    hundred thousand soldiers stationed outside, not to mention the three-million strong army garrisoned in


    Southern ins City. You made it all the way here, but don’t think you’re getting out of this alive.”


    “Is that so?”


    James gave him a smirk. “If I was able to get all the way here, then it stands to reason that there’s


    definitely a way out too. Oh, and by the way, this was the conference room of the ck Dragon army. I


    know it like the back of my hand. At the moment, I’ve cut off all connections between this room with the


    outside world. No one would know even if I went on a rampage here.”


    When he said this, the color drained from the faces of all the generals sitting in the room.


    “ck Dragon, I-I was being forced toe.”


    “Spare me, please. I’ll retreat at once.”


    They started to beg James for mercy.


    “Bang!”


    James let out a shot.


    Floyd copsed in a pool of blood. He was no longer breathing.


    The generals turned pale.


    “Since you’vee all the way here, you should have been prepared to die. Your attack on Southern


    ins City has cost many of myrades-in-arms lives. How am I supposed to exin myself to the


    ck Dragon army if I return without killing you?”


    James’ face darkened. He had a murderous glint in his eyes.


    The aura he exuded was too overpowering and terrifying. The generals could not help but feel horrified.


    Everyone was stock still and was too scared to even take a breath.


    “We should open fire all at once! He’s just one guy. There’s no way…”


    One of the generals tried to turn the tide.


    Before he could finish his words, James shot him dead, and the general copsed to the floor.


    The generals of the twenty-eight nations were highly trained. However, they stood no chance at all


    against the ck Dragon.


    They knew only death awaited them if they continued to do nothing.


    On the other hand, they would die nheless if they went for their guns.


    “Do it yourself.”


    James nced at the remaining generals and promised, “If you choose to end your life right now, I


    promise you that the ck Dragon army won’t pursue your army. We will allow them safe passage


    home. If you don’t…”


    Immediately, a dark shadow cast itself over James’ face. “There’ll be bloodshed. The three-million-


    strong army will die in a foreign ce, far from home.”


    Death?


    End their lives?


    Humans have an overwhelming fear of death. Committing suicide necessitates great courage. They


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    were all high-ranking generals of their respective nations. How could they be willing to die just like that?


    “What? Do you need me to do it for you?”


    James offered heartlessly.


    Then, he opened fire.


    The generals dropped to the floor like flies.


    They had wanted to kill James before dying.


    However, they were no match for his speed.


    In just a few short seconds, corpsesy strewn about the conference room.


    Only one man was still alive.


    It was Pablo, themander-in-chief of the allied forces.


    Pablo’s legs gave way and he copsed into a chair. He could not exert even a single ounce of


    strength.


    He began sweating bullets when he saw James approach him. Soon, his entire military uniform was


    soaked.


    James asked in an intimidating tone, “Do you know why I spared you?”


    “N-No.”


    Pablo was sweating profusely; he could not stop his teeth from chattering.


    James sat down and lit a cigarette. Then, he took a deep breath.


    “That’s because you’re themander-in-chief of the allied forces. I need you to give the order to


    retreat. Of course, you can choose to disobey my order. In that case, the ck Dragon army will


    immediately go on the offensive. Southern ins City will descend into chaos, and your three-million-


    strong army willy dead on the streets. Besides…”
