Chapter 1112
James got into the backseat.
Beside him was a fifty-year-old-looking man in a big black jacket. He was wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses. As
he lowered his head, James could not discern his appearance.
Madelyn was in the driver’s seat. She turned around, removed her sunglasses, and looked at James with a smile.
“We meet again, James.”
James glanced at her. This was the woman who lured him into a trap.
Then, he looked at the man beside him and said, “Reveal your identity.”
Yaroslav removed his sunglasses, and James could finally see what he looked like.
He was an ordinary-looking man-so ordinary, in fact, one could never imagine him being a figure at the top of the
power pyramid.
“James,” wearing a smile on his face, Yaroslav said, “your reputation precedes you. I’m honored to have finally met
you.” “Are you Yaroslav Gabriel, the one behind the previous Emperor?” James asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes,” Yaroslav said.
James asked, “You’re someone affiliated with the Gu Sect. What business do you have with me? As you may know,
we’re from different worlds. If you have nothing important to say, I’ll be leaving.”
Though James knew that Yaroslav was seeking to cooperate with him, he feigned ignorance.
Yaroslav said smilingly, “No one has permanent enemies. I came here today to make known my wish to cooperate
with you.”
He cut to the chase.
“Oh? Cooperation?” James smiled. “But how?” “James, let’s just cut to the chase.” Madelyn said, “The King made
you the Emperor to get rid of Mr. Gabriel. Now that you have acquired such strength, killing him would be an easy
feat. Mr.
Gabriel understands this. He knows that he has to cooperate with you in order to survive. However, he has a
condition. You have to let him go.”
James asked, “Putting the question of cooperation aside, allow me to ask you this. Was it my grandfather who told
you about my strength?” “Yes.” Yaroslav did not deny it. He said, “However, it was also thanks to his reminder that I
thought about cooperating with you.” “Oh?”
Puzzled, James asked, “What do you mean?”
Yaroslav said, “Thomas told me that I’d surely die. Once I’m dead, the Capital will return to peace. He told me that
I’ll surely die in your hands. However, he also reminded me that I can survive once I think of a way. The only way
for me to survive is to cooperate with you.”
Upon hearing this, James was puzzled.
What kind of person was his grandfather?
Why would he create trouble for him while assisting him in the dark?
Now, he even hinted at Yaroslav to cooperate with him. James could not figure anything out.
After brief contemplation, he asked, “How do we cooperate?”
Before coming, Yaroslav had already discussed matters with Madelyn.
“James... No, wait... Emperor, I wish to put on a show.”
“What do you mean?” “I’ll order a subordinate of mine to impersonate me. After executing him, I’ll go into hiding
and spend the rest of my lifetime in seclusion. You, on the other hand, will promise not to pursue me. As a reward,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’ll give you whatever information you need.”
A smile crept up on James’ face. He had planned to cooperate with Yaroslav anyway. Now that Yaroslav was the one
who proposed things, he could take a backseat.
After thinking for some time, James said, “It’s certainly possible. My condition is simple. I want all information about
every one of the Gu Sect.”
Yaroslav nodded. “Sure thing, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
James asked, “Who is your master? Is it Callan Maverick?” “I don’t know.” Yaroslav said, “I only know that my
master was called the Gu Devil. He never removed his mask, so no one has ever seen his true appearance. I also
know that wielded great authority inside the Gu Sect. He’s probably only beneath the Leader.” “Who’s the Leader?”
“I don’t know either. He’s a very mysterious person. Every time we met, I could only see his back figure. He’s
currently the one who calls the shots in the Gu Sect. Even my master answers to him.” “What relationship does my
grandfather have with the Gu Sect?” “They are in a cooperative relationship.” Yaroslav continued, “I don’t know
what agreement they made, but Thomas is the one who strategizes for the Leader.” “Since when?”
After thinking for a moment, Yaroslav said, “About ten years ago, I’d say. After the Cadens’ residence was burned to
the ground.”
