Chapter 400 The nation observed ten minutes of silence to honor the Black Dragon, the God of War. After informing
the press of the circumstances surrounding the Black Dragon’s death, Levi chased the reporters away. After all,
what he was about to do next was not suitable for television broadcasts.
Levi entered the consulate general.
Envoys of the twenty-eight nations were here for the negotiations. After Levi walked in, a few soldiers carried the
still unconscious, badly injured Henry in.
Levi cut to the chase and spoke in a firm voice, “In accordance with international practices, you’ll have to pay a
ransom for every prisoner-of-war. A million for each common soldier, 10 billion for a general, and 5 billion for a
lieutenant, and since you’ve killed our commander-in chief, we’ll increase the price tenfold. We request that you
pay up immediately. Otherwise, they will be executed this instant.”
Levi revealed their demands.
Enraged, the envoys stood up. “No way.” “Levi, you’re taking it too far.” “Hell no!”
Levi stared at them with ruthless eyes. “In that case, I’ll give the order to execute all the captives immediately.”
As he said that, he turned to leave.
“G-General Levi, let’s talk it over.”

“Tenfold is too much. We can’t accept this.”
The envoys wheedled.
“Too much?”
Levi pointed at the unconscious Henry and said coldly, “The Black Shadow General is on the verge of death. Our
commander-in-chief was killed. You better pray that the Black Shadow General makes it out alive. If he doesn’t, the
Black Dragon army will have our revenge.”
The envoys were appalled by his words. “Fine, I accept your conditions.” One of the twenty-eight nations gave in.
“Me too.”
One-by-one the envoys folded. Soon, all twenty-eight envoys agreed to pay the ransom.
They made the bank transfer immediately. After that, Levi kept his word and released the captives.
At a military base in the Southern Plains…
Levi told James everything in detail. “Commander-in-chief, the nation now knows of your demise on the battlefield
and observed ten minutes of silence. All envoys had paid the ransom. This incident has been brought to a close.”
“Yes.” James gently nodded. Levi continued, “The total compensation from the twenty-eight nations stands at 8.9
trillion dollars. The money is currently in the bank account of the Black Dragon army.” “Say what?”
James balked at the insanely high figure.
In the past, the losers paid compensation directly to him, the victor. He had never concerned himself with the
numbers.
He did not understand the concept of money.
After arriving in Cansington, he finally grasped the usefulness of money. Thus, he understood what 8.9 trillion was
worth.
“Yes.”
Levi nodded and continued, “The twenty-eight nations have been bled dry. After this incident, their nations incurred
huge losses. It’s estimated that their economies will not recover to pre-war conditions for the next three years.”
James thought for a moment and instructed, “Notify the National Treasury and transfer 2 trillion to the Finance
department. Transfer 1 trillion to my bank account, and use 1 trillion for the Black Dragon army’s military spending.
Divide the rest among our men.”
James knew that each of his men had their own family.
The Black Dragon army guarded the border. They could only return to their hometowns after many years.
They were responsible for defending the border and exterminating their enemies. It would be disheartening if they
had to worry about their family’s livelihoods on top of everything.
590 million dollars divided among the one million soldiers truly was not much.
It was a token of his appreciation.

our hardworking men. I hope I won’t have to punish anyone for misappropriating the funds.” “Definitely.” “Alright
now, you’re dismissed.” “Understood.”
Levi turned to leave.
James visited the military hospital.
He assessed Henry’s condition and prescribed medicine for him. Then, he ordered his men to prepare the
medicine. While they did that, he continued to treat Henry’s injuries with his silver needles.
