Chapter 687

James was not convinced that Floyd had actually called the Emperor. However, he knew that even if

the receiver of the call was not the Emperor, the real person must have been listening from somewhere

else. No voice came from the phone. James continued despite the lack of response. “I don’t care what

you’re after. I’ll definitely stop you.”

“Beep!”

The other party hung up the phone. “You’re not leaving here alive, Black Dragon.” Floyd looked at

James and threatened him.” There’s a hundred thousand soldiers stationed outside, not to mention the

three-million strong army garrisoned in Southern Plains City. You made it all the way here, but don’t

think you’re getting out of this alive.” “Is that so?”

James gave him a smirk. “If I was able to get all the way here, then it stands to reason that there’s

definitely a way out too. Oh, and by the way, this was the conference room of the Black Dragon army. I

know it like the back of my hand. At the moment, I’ve cut off all connections between this room with the

outside world. No one would know even if I went on a rampage here.”

When he said this, the color drained from the faces of all the generals sitting in the room.

“Black Dragon, l-I was being forced to come.” “Spare me, please. I’ll retreat at once.”

They started to beg James for mercy. “Bang!” James let out a shot. Floyd collapsed in a pool of blood.

He was no longer breathing.

The generals turned pale. “Since you’ve come all the way here, you should have been prepared to die.

Your attack on Southern Plains City has cost many of my comrades-in-arms lives. How am I supposed

to explain myself to the Black Dragon army if I return without killing you?”

James’ face darkened. He had a murderous glint in his eyes.

The aura he exuded was too overpowering and terrifying. The generals could not help but feel horrified.

Everyone was stock still and was too scared to even take a breath.

“We should open fire all at once! He’s just one guy. There’s no way…”

One of the generals tried to turn the tide. Before he could finish his words, James shot him dead, and

the general collapsed to the floor.

The generals of the twenty-eight nations were highly trained. However, they stood no chance at all

against the Black Dragon. They knew only death awaited them if they continued to do nothing. On the

other hand, they would die nonetheless if they went for their guns. “Do it yourself.”

James glanced at the remaining generals and promised, “If you choose to end your life right now, I

promise you that the Black Dragon army won’t pursue your army. We will allow them safe passage

home. If you don’t…”

Immediately, a dark shadow cast itself over James’ face. “There’ll be bloodshed. The three million-

strong army will die in a foreign place, far from home.”

Death?

End their lives?

Humans have an overwhelming fear of death. Committing suicide necessitates great courage. They

were all high-ranking generals of their respective nations. How could they be willing to die just like that?

“What? Do you need me to do it for you?”

James offered heartlessly.

Then, he opened fire. The generals dropped to the floor like flies. They had wanted to kill James before

dying. However, they were no match for his speed. In just a few short seconds, corpses lay strewn

about the conference room. Only one man was still alive. It was Pablo, the commander-in-chief of the

allied forces.

Pablo’s legs gave way and he collapsed into a chair. He could not exert even a single ounce of

strength.

He began sweating bullets when he saw James approach him. Soon, his entire military uniform was

soaked. James asked in an intimidating tone, “Do you know why I spared you?”

“N-No.”

Pablo was sweating profusely; he could not stop his teeth from chattering. James sat down and lit a

cigarette. Then, he took a deep breath. “That’s because you’re the commander-in-chief of the allied

forces. I need you to give the order to retreat. Of course, you can choose to disobey my order. In that

case, the Black Dragon army will immediately go on the offensive. Southern Plains City will descend

into chaos, and your three-million-strong army will lay dead on the streets. Besides…”
