Chapter 720 “He‘s wearing a black robe... He‘s a general of the Southern Plains! What is he trying to accomplish by
appearing with the Blade of Justice at James‘ trial? Is he trying to exonerate James with the sword?”
The crowd was heatedly in a discussion.
Meanwhile, James sat at the defendant‘s stand and smiled.
Seeing the Blade of Justice, the Emperor‘s face darkened.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Henry announced, “Though Sol is a country with a rule of law, many are able
to escape justice by finding loopholes. The Blade of Justice serves to execute these wicked criminals and give them
what they deserve.”
Henry said with great confidence, “The Black Dragon, commander–in–chief of the Black Dragon army, has upheld
Solean law by executing all those who escaped justice. The former heads of the Great Four of Cansington were
executed due to a massacre ten years ago. “Ten years ago, the Cadens, the most powerful and influential family in
Cansington, were burned alive. The masterminds of this fire were from the Great Four. The Black Dragon did not let
a single guilty person escape. Likewise, he did not kill a single innocent man, woman, or child.”

The crowd was in an uproar. “I– Is that true?”
“Impossible.”
“James must have abused the Blade of Justice to kill the innocent! We can‘t let him off the hook that easily.”
Hendrix, the Secretary–General, asked, “Black Shadow General, we can‘t just take your word for it. Do you have any
evidence?”
“Yes.” Henry nodded. “The evidence, please.”
James had ordered Henry to call Jay in advance. Through Jay‘s underground intelligence network, Henry managed
to collect evidence and found much from Cansington‘s underworld.
They were present at the Cadens‘cemetery that fateful day. They saw with their own eyes how James executed
those who were behind the destruction of the Cadens ten years ago with the Blade of Justice
“I can testify that James killed many people with the Blade of Justice that day. They were all behind the destruction
of the Cadens ten years ago. They admitted to their crimes before their death.”
“One of my men recorded the moment they admitted to their crimes.”
The evidence was presented.
Allegations against James for killing the innocent were debunked.
Seeing this, the crowd was once again in a heated discussion. However, someone brought up the allegations that
James accepted bribes and misappropriated the war reparations.
James did not provide an excuse for this.
After all, the allegations were indeed true.
Henry cried out, “He has fought for Sol and performed major meritorious services to the country. Even if he has
accepted bribes, I think he should be acquitted.”
He continued, “They say that he misappropriated a total of 10 trillion dollars. But did you know that he captured the
enemy commander–in–chief despite being pursued by the 28 nation martial art gurus and the 100 thousand–strong
enemy forces at Mt. Thunder? “The Black Dragon army swept across the battlefield and annihilated the twenty–
eight–nation alliance. In accordance with international law, the twenty–eight nations were supposed to pay the
ransom for the prisoners of war. However, James demanded that they pay ten times the amount.
“Why? Because of the million–strong Black Dragon army. “The ransom paid was equally divided among the army.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Black Dragon army guards the Southern border of Sol. We could be killed anytime. Is it such a wrong thing to
do to distribute some of the war reparations to us?
“We have families too. But with the meager salary we receive, we can‘t feed them. Though we fight against the
enemies on the battlefield, our families are being neglected. Have any of you thought about this?
“Why did James establish the Transgenerational Group? He hopes for peace at the border. He hopes that everyone
can lead comfortable lives. “As you may know, James married into the Callahans upon arriving at Cansington. Has
he ever splurged on anything? He has the Black Dragon card. The country pays in his stead. Why then, do you think
that he lacks money?”
Henry’s voice grew louder and louder.
The crowd was speechless. They could not find anything to retort.
Wielding the Blade of Justice, Henry walked over to James and knelt. He presented the sword to James and cried
out, “Dragon King, please accept the Blade of Justice. Exercise its authority and rid Sol of its treacherous subjects.”
James stood up.
However, as he was enfeebled, he almost collapsed to the floor.
He lifted the blade of Justice with great difficulty.
Whish!
He pulled the sword out and examined it.
