Chapter 1069
Hearing this, Matthew quickly returned to his feet and stood beside James. He bowed and implored him humbly,
“Dragon King, Emperor, no, Dragon Emperor. The Hendersons have prepared a banquet to celebrate your
appointment as the Dragon Emperor. We would be extremely honored if you would grace us with your presence.”
“Matthew, are you blatantly trying to bribe me? As the Dragon King of the Southern Plains and the commander of
the Red Flame Army, my conduct must set an example for others. As a courtesy to your earnestness, I’ll treat it as
if you were drunk today and were spouting nonsense in your drunken stupor. If you ever do such a thing again, I’m
sure you’re already aware of the consequences that follow.”James narrowed his eyes as he let his warning hang
over Matthew.
Matthew’s face was dripping with sweat from the fear he felt.
James gradually made his way through the sea of rich and influential people.
The other wealthy figures enthusiastically greeted him one after another.
Some even brought their daughters to introduce them to James.

Capital University. She’s never had a boyfriend before and is definitely a virgin! ”
A middle-aged man introduced his daughter eagerly, and the young woman beside him meekly lowered her head.
James cast a glance at the woman and said derisively, “Okay. My mansion lacks a cleaner. She can sweep the floors
in the mansion from nowon.”
He did not refuse the middle-aged man’s offer and chose to respond outrageously.
Knowing that many big shots were watching, he deliberately acted vainly so that people would let their guard down.
This was his only chance to leave an impression of his personality. He wanted them to underestimate him.
“What’re you doing, Lisa? Hurry up and thank the Emperor.” The middle-aged man pulled the arm of the woman
beside him.
The woman came to her senses and immediately said, “Thank you, Emperor.” “Alright. Everyone should disperse
from here right now. I’m heading to the Red Flame Army base. I’ll be holding the succession ceremony in the
military region and I invite all of you guys to watch.”
James waved farewell with a smile and got into a military vehicle, leaving under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
“Congratulations, Mr. Grayson.” “Congratulations, the Graysons will flourish under the protection of the Emperor.”
“Congratulations, Mr. Lambert. Your daughter has been recruited into the Emperor’s Mansion, and your family will
surely benefit from this.”
Some of the wealthy figures approached those that were treated well by James.
Meanwhile, in Peace Mansion, Gloom was reporting everything that happened, “King, there was news that many
wealthy figures have gone to meet James.”
The King leaned back on the sofa, rubbed his temples, and treated it as it if were an obvious fact. “Isn’t this
expected? The Red Flame Army's commander is the capital's most powerful man. It’s normal that they’re trying to
butter him up.” “But, James' behavior...” Gloom frowned slightly.
“He’s changed a bit.”
The King parted his lips and said, “Maxine is working with James now. The two of them must’ve devised a plan to kill
Mr. Gabriel. Perhaps, they’ve already started taking action. He’s putting on a show for Mr. Gabriel and the other
major forces in the Capital, so they think he loves vanity and power. He wants them to believe that he’s just full of
hot air.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGloom asked, “Since you’re able to discern his plan so quickly, it won’t take a lot for others to catch on too. It’s
useless for him to put on such a display.”
The King smiled slyly and said, “Perhaps not. It depends on what he does next. Let’s continue to see what he does. I
want to see what kind of storm this kid can stir up in the Capital after taking over the Emperor’s position.”
The King was looking forward to it.
He had reigned over Sol for thirty years.
In the past thirty years, his primary focus was on nation-building.
His hard work in the years he served had brought about earth- shaking changes in Sol.
However, because of his position as an absolute authority, he was unable to tackle other matters.
The current situation in the Capital was a mess, and the relationship between families and those in power was
intricate and tenuous at best.
He was hoping that James could cause enough of a commotion that it would shake the foundations of sol.
“Continue surveilling James and report his every move to me,” the King ordered.
“Understood.” Gloom nodded.
Meanwhile, Mr. Gabriel was bent over respectfully in a living room with a coal fire.
