After letting out his frustrations, the Emperor composed himself.
He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. . He devised this plot to kill James. Now, not only was he not dead, he had
even performed a great service for Sol. With greater fame and prestige, it would be even harder to kill him now.
James had to die.
Smoking his cigarette, he thought of ways to finish James off. “Looks like I need to turn to that old man for help.”
After a long while, the Emperor murmured. He stood up hastily. “Prepare the car.” The Emperor left the Capital and
headed toward a mountain in the suburbs. The mountain was called the Five Monasteries Mountain, named for the
monastery at its peak The Emperor headed to the top of the mountain.
In a room of the monastery…

“I need your help.” The Emperor stood behind the old man. His face was solemn. “The Black Dragon is getting in
the way of my plans. He has to die.”

The old man slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were devoid of all emotion as if he was no longer alive.
The old man stood up and said, “The Black Dragon is highly-trained in martial arts. His strength is unparalleled. No
one is capable of killing him. However, all men have an Achilles heel. In his case, it would be Thea Callahan. We can
begin with her.”
The Emperor nodded. “I’ll leave that to you. I cannot proceed with my plans as long as James is still alive. If the
higher-ups pursue matters further and discover our involvement, it’s all over for the both of us.”
Leaving this remark, the Emperor turned to leave, Before leaving, he quickly added. “Finish him off as soon as
possible. I can begin devising my plan once he’s dead,”
The old man looked at the Emperor and smirked. “Why did you have to resort to such an elaborate scheme just to
kill a man? The allied forces of the twenty-eight nations, huh…? You
have one hell of an imagination.” “Remember, don’t get me involved in this. If anything happens to me, there’ll be
no one to execute the plan.” The Emperor left. The old man stretched languidly. “Don’t worry. No one will have a
clue that you’re behind this. Five days… Give me five days, and I guarantee he’s dead.”
Hearing this, the Emperor felt more at ease. – He headed toward the grand hall to pay his respects before leaving.
Meanwhile, the old man disguised himself as an ordinary man and left the monastery. He then headed toward
Cansington. He had only a single objective in mind, and that was to take Thea Callahan captive and use her against
James.
Although he was located at the peak of Five Monasteries Mountain, he was aware of the situation in the outside
world.
From James’ resignation to return to Cansington, his conflict with The Great Four, and his relationship with Thea, the
old man was aware of all of it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe also knew that Thea was James’ Achilles’ heel. Even though they were divorced, James would have no choice
but to comply with his demands if he could take Thea captive. With that out of the way, killing James would be a
piece of cake. Yet, the Emperor turned such a simple thing into an elaborate scheme. From the 28-nation martial
art gurus to the current war. How utterly incompetent of him.
Soon, the old man arrived in Cansington.
“Sir.”
At a harbor in Cansington…
A worker knelt before the old man.
The old man gestured toward him. “Go take Thea Callahan prisoner.” “Understood.”
“Don’t attract unnecessary attention. Bring her to the Southern Plains in secret.”
“Understood.”
