In the Black Dragon Palace in the Southern Plains… James was severely lacking in sleep. The
moment he reached the Black Dragon Palace, he immediately made a beeline toward his bed and fell
fast asleep. He slept throughout the day. Growl –
His stomach rumbled.
James got up and rubbed his tummy.
He looked outside. The sky was already dark. Then, he grabbed his phone and looked at the time. It
was eight in the evening. He noticed there were quite a few missed calls and messages. They were all
from Quincy. He frowned and murmured, “What’s this woman up to?”
He ignored the messages. He simply got dressed and left. Many ordinary citizens and reporters
gathered outside the Black Dragon Palace. Some were holding bouquets, while others held banners up
high. Many fully-armed soldiers guarded the entrance of the Black Dragon Palace. With their backs
straightened, they were there to keep the crowd in check. James’ biggest worry was people causing a
fuss about him. After getting a glimpse of the crowd, he immediately turned back. “Black Dragon…”
“Dragon General, don’t leave!” Upon seeing James, the crowd bubbled with excitement. “Over here,
James!”
A woman in a red dress was waving at James. She wanted to barge into the palace but was stopped
by the guards. “James, it’s me, Quincy! Over here…” Quincy waved while shouting, However, her
shouting was drowned out by the cacophony of noises from the crowd. “I love you, Dragon General.”
“I want to have your babies!”
They were screaming fervently.
James ignored them. He entered the Black Dragon Palace and sat in the living room. Then, he pulled
his phone out,“ Get me something to eat.”
As he had just retaken Southern Plains City without a fight, he was now a national hero. The citizens
were currently whipped up in an excited frenzy. He just needed to wait until it all blows over.
Outside the palace…
Quincy was dismayed. She was keenly aware that James needed to sleep so she did not bother
contacting him in the morning. It was only in the afternoon that she give James a call.
However, no one picked up.
Now, despite her screaming at the top of her lungs, James paid no heed to her. She pulled her phone
out and sent another message to James. “James, I’m outside.” James’ phone vibrated. He pulled his
phone out and saw the message Quincy sent. He sat on the sofa and murmured silently, “What’s this
woman’s deal? Why can’t she just stay put in Cansington? Why did she have to come all the way to the
Southern Plains?”
James did not know why Quincy came to the Southern Plains, and he was not bothered to find out.
He took a nap on the sofa. Soon, his food had been served.
Levi personally brought the food to him.
“Sir, we’ve scanned the perimeter of the Southern Plains. We found no traces of the allied forces of the
twenty-eight nations.”
He stood beside James and reported. As he ate, James pointed at the sofa and said, “No need to be
so formal. Have a seat.”
Levi took his seat.
James asked, “By the way, how’s the situation with Henry?”
Leví reported everything in detail. “He brought the convoys to the twenty-eight nations and is currently
in the negotiation process. The international community is paying close attention to this, and the whole
process was broadcasted live. At the negotiating table, the representatives of the twenty-eight nations
were at a loss of words when faced against Black Shadow General’s eloquent argument.”
James grinned satisfactorily. “I knew he was the right guy for this. Instruct him to pressure the twenty-
eight nations. If they don’t comply in giving up their territory, the Black Dragon army will raze them to
the ground,”
“Understood.” Levi nodded.
“By the way, write an application and send it to the Capital.”
Levi tilted his head quizically. “What application?”
James said, “The assassins played a crucial role in the assassination of the generals of the twenty-
eight nations and the retaking of Southern Plains City. I’m planning to write an application to formally
request the higher-ups to give them all a position.”
“Understood.” Levi nodded.
