Chapter 1119

Jeanne believed that the Emperor is capable of pulling this off.

After all, he was the most powerful man in Sol.

However, she was puzzled.

Why would the Emperor help an ordinary woman like her out? Wearing a surly expression, James

looked at the men kneeling on the ground and asked, “What's your name?” “M-My name’s Forrest

Long.

The Tucksons put the word out that we’ll be rewarded if we find these two women.

My subordinates happened to bump into them nearby, so I brought them here.” “1 didn’t do anything,

Emperor.

Please spare me!” Wearing a grim expression, James said, “Bring them to the Tucksons and ask them

for the reward.” “I wouldn’t dare! Please, let us go!” “Shut up, this is an order!” James kicked him,

“Weren’t you pretty bold just now? What happened? I’m ordering you to bring them to the Tucksons.

I’m interested to see what they plan to do to them.” After recollecting himself, Forrest asked, “A-Are you

saying that we're only putting on an act?” “what else?” James asked, “Do you really intend to sell them

off?” “N-No...

lunderstand.” As if pardoned, Forrest hurriedly said, “ Emperor, can I redeem myself?” James ignored

him.

Looking at Delilah and her mother, he said, “ Please follow them to the Tucksons.

I’ll be there shortly.” “Mihm.” Delilah nodded.

James looked at the men kmeeling on the ground and said, “You may rise.” Forrest and his

subordinates stood up.

Under James’ orders, they took Delilah and her mother away.

James got downstairs and looked at the leaving van.

Then, he got in his car and headed to the military region.

Along the way, he contemplated the current dynamics in the Capital.

The relationships between various families, military men, and politicians were intricate and convoluted.

If he made a move on a single one of them, the Capital could descend into chaos.

Besides, there could be spies inside the Red Flame Army.

He pulled out his phone and called Henry, who was at the Southern Plains.

“Congratulations, James.” Henry’s voice came, “I apologize for being absent at your coronation

ceremony.” “Alright now, save the formalities for later.

How’s it going in the Southern Plains?” “Not bad, I’d say.

Things are peaceful here and developing fast.” “How did the investigation go?” “Yes, I've found a few

clues.

However, General Levi has his reasons.

I haven’t yet had time to report to you.” “Bring a thousand of our most loyal men to the Capital and join

the Red Flame Army.” “Should I come personally, James?” “Yes,” “Got it.” “Depart at once.

I want you at the Red Flame Army’s Capital in three hours.” “Understood.” After receiving James’ order,

Henry immediately made preparations.

James, on the other hand, immediately headed toward the Red Flame Army’s headquarters after

hanging up the phone.

After arriving at headquarters, he remained inside the office.

He was not in a hurry to visit the Tucksons and waited patiently for Henry’s arrival.

James was not worried about Delilah and her mother’s safety.

The Tucksons’ objective was to force Xavion, who was currently in hiding, to show himself and obtain

the technology in his hand.

Based on their recent actions, James believed that Xavion was still alive.

The Tucksons had yet to obtain the technology in his hands.

After a moment of thought, James pulled out his phone and called Maxine.

Soon, the call went through.

Maxine'’s voice came, “Is something the matter, James?”
