Chapter 854
“Everything is unfolding just as we’d predicted. Our original plan was to manipulate James into killing the Emperor in
order to pit two of the Ancient Four against each other. However, now, something’s thrown a wrench in our plans,
and that something is the God-King Palace. I’m concerned that we’ve fallen into the God-King Palace’s trap. Their
objective could be to make us turn on each other as they reap the benefits of the potential fallout.”
Mr. Lee was concerned about the unexpected developments.
Everything had been under his control.
With the sudden appearance of the God-King Palace, he was no longer able to predict the outcome of this
situation.
The King posed his question, “Should we save James then? He’s a righteous man who’s willing to fight tooth and nail
for his nation. If we allow the
Johnstons to kill him, we’ll lose one of our strongest assets.”
Mr. Lee shook his head in disappointment. “No, we shouldn’t. In fact, we can’t. The only ones who can
save James now are the Cades. I think we can use this as an opportunity to see where the Cadens’ allegiance lies.

“Understood.” The King nodded.
Gloom walked into the room and greeted Mr. Lee and
the King respectfully.
The King turned to him. “Have you found out anything about the God-King Palace?”
Gloom gave a disappointing reply. “Not yet. No one knows anything about the God-King Palace, nor where they
come from.”
The King was troubled. “This is strange… Is the God- King Palace really not affiliated with the Cadens?”
Mr. Lee leaned on the sofa. After taking a moment to sort out his thoughts, he said, “We’ll understand once the sun
sets. If the God-King Palace is aligned with the Cadens, they’l surely come to James’ rescue.”
“All we can do is sit back and wait for someone to
make a move. To be honest, I really hope that the God -King Palace belongs to the Cadens. James is an invaluable
asset. Letting him die like a dog in the hands of the Johnstons would be a tremendous waste.”
At the same time, in the Capital…
Mr. Gabriel was warming his body in front of a bed
stove.
A young lady stood quietly behind him in the same
room.
“Melody, how’s the situation at the moment?”, Mr. Gabriel asked as he put his hands on the bed stove.
He seemed to want to avoid the cold. Though it was not winter yet, he had already begun making preparations for
it.
Melody June replied him, “It’s pandemonium out there. James executed the Emperor with the Blade of Justice. Not
only that, an organization called the God- King Palace showed up and assisted James. The situation escalated this
morning when the Johnstons attacked James adnd kidnapped him. They informed the Cadens to come for James at
their place if they wanted to save him. Otherwise, he’ll be killed by sunset.”
“The God-King Palace?” Mr. Gabriel mumbled in
confusion.
“What is this God-King Palace? Are the Cadens. behind this?”
Melody replied in the negative, “I don’t know.”
“How’s the situation over at Mr. Lee’s?”
“There’s been no news from Peace Mansion at the moment. Since Mr. Lee remains silent, I believe he’s given up on
saving James.’

Mr. Gabriel nodded slowly. “Mhm… Even if he wanted to save James, his hands are tied. Let’s continue to wait and
observe. Perhaps things will be clearer this evening.”
The death of the Emperor and James’ capture caused Sol to be thrown into a huge uproar. Many powerful figures
were eyeing one another suspiciously.
Meanwhile, some of the families like the Yates, Graysons, and Lawsons opted to remain neutral for now and were
paying close attention to the situation.
The power struggle would affect the political dynamics in the Capital.
No one was willing to hedge their bets on any side just yet. Not while the situation was still tumultuous.
At the same time, in a hotel room…
The moment Thomas returned, Thea went up to him. anxiously. “What’s going on now?”
Wearing a grim expression, Thomas said, “Things are not going well. The Johnstons have captured James. They told
the Cadens that they’ll kill him if they do not come for him before sunset.”
“What?!”
The color drained from Thea’s face. She tugged at Thomas’ wrist and pleaded, “We have to save him!”
Thomas reassured her gently. “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely save him. We just need to think of a way.”
