Chapter 1482

Sol was a country with strict laws and regulations.

It would be troublesome to dismiss a chief justice by following the formal procedures.

As for Graydon, James also did not go through the proper procedures.

Otherwise, he would have to apply for a trial through the King. The King would issue a document and

request several parties to approve it. James would only be able to arrest him after these parties had

signed the document.

The King hung up the phone.

James pondered about it for a while.

He thought controlling the courthouse was necessary to achieve his plans.

In the future, the courthouse was going to be an important place.

Thus, he did not want other factions to control the courthouse.

After thinking about it, he called Maxine and said, “Maxine, I need you to investigate someone.”

Maxine’s voice sounded from the phone. “Who?”

“The chief justice of the courthouse, Francesco.”

“Okay, no problem.”

“Do it as soon as possible. Try to get me a result before dawn.”

“Alright.”

Maxine had not gone to bed.

She knew James was about to take action and had dispatched one thousand soldiers from the Red

Flame Army to capture a high-ranking general. Therefore, she was also keeping up with the latest

updates.

“Blake, use the power of the Dark Castle to investigate a person named Francesco Gardner.”

“Jake, look into someone for me. He’s the chief justice of the courthouse. I need all information on him

and evidence of any criminal records by dawn.”

“May, use the Dragon Palace’s intelligence networks to investigate Francesco Gardner, the chief justice

of the courthouse.”

James made several phone calls.

From the current information he had, there was no evidence of Francesco committing any crimes.

However, as the chief justice, it was impossible that he was completely innocent. As long as James

could get hold of a little bit of evidence, it would be enough to make Francesco step down.

After a series of phone calls, he called the King again.

“Is there anything else, James?”

James went straight to the point. “I’ve already started investigations on the chief justice of the

courthouse, Francesco Gardner. Several forces of mine are looking into his background. If there’s

anything wrong with him, I’ll get him to step down before dawn. When the time comes, I’ll use the Blade

of Justice to take care of these problems. I don’t need you to issue any documents, but I’ll need a new

chief justice to take office, which will need your approval. I’m calling to inform you in advance.”

Hearing this, the King fell into deep thought.

After a while, he replied, “James, you’re causing a huge scene. Be careful not to burn yourself.”

James replied calmly, “Things have already come to this point. I have no way out and must resolve

everything. I need to disintegrate the Gu Sect and Orient Commerce.”

“Alright. After you send me the document, I’ll sign it. However, my approval alone is useless. All three

parties will have to sign the document for it to take effect.”

“It’s fine with just you signing it. I can’t be bothered with such details right now.”

James finished speaking and hung up the phone.

He walked into the courthouse.

At that moment, the interrogation was ready to take place.

The chief justice and some juries were already in place.

Graydon was handcuffed to the defendant’s stand.

“Francesco, do you know what you’re doing? Do you know who you’re interrogating? Hurry up and call

him!”

Until now, Graydon had not given up.

James overheard the conversation when he walked into the courtroom. James pulled out the Blade of

Justice and said calmly, “Graydon, no one can save you today.”

At that moment, someone handed over the solid evidence of Graydon’s crimes over the years.

After the jury looked at it, their expressions became solemn.

“Graydon, a commercial city was built in the Capital ten years ago, and you used your position to make

a profit of one billion dollars. We’ve gotten hold of the transfer records and have solid evidence.”
