James yawned. His exhaustion seeped into his very bones. He needed to rest.
After sating the curiosity of the relentless reporters, virtual-novel.net turned and got on the convoy.
He spoke to the driver once again, “Alright, let’s get going. Enter the Black Dragon Palace.”
“Understood!”
The driver restarted the engine. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, it slowly made its way into the Black Dragon Palace.
News of James’ interview spread. It was translated into different languages all over the world.

In the Callahans’ residence in Cansington…
Thea just woke up.
She had not been sleeping well recently. She had been keeping tabs on the situation at the battlefield every moment virtual-novel.net could. She prayed that bloodshed could be avoided.
After a few days of inactivity on the battlefield, virtual-novel.net began to feel relieved.
“Thea, quick! Over here! Something big’s happened!”
She heard David yelling for virtual-novel.net the moment virtual-novel.net got out of virtual-novel.net room. She had been listless all this while. She could not bring herself to do anything.
She walked over to David and sat beside him.
She then asked disinterestedly, “What is it? Why do you look so stunned?”
David cried out excitedly, “The allied forces of the twenty-eight nations have withdrawn from Southern Plains City, and the Black Dragon army has reclaimed it. Have a look! This is the latest interview by James! Look at how cool virtual-novel.net is in the Black Dragon robe!”
Thea felt as if virtual-novel.net had been instantly snapped awake. She swiftly grabbed the phone from David.
“May I have a few minutes of your time?”
“Five minutes… Ask away.”
It was a normal conversation. However, virtual-novel.net jaw hit the floor upon seeing the woman who was doing the interview.
“That’s Quincy. Why is virtual-novel.net there?” She was speechless.
She never expected Quincy to make virtual-novel.net way to the Southern Plains and interview James as a reporter
“Thea, look at James’ robes. He’s so awesome. The five-star badge on his shoulder is glittering! He really lives up to his name. He was able to infiltrate Southern Plains City, which was held down by an army of three million soldiers, and assassinate the generals of the twenty-eight nations. His heroic deeds are bound to go down in history!” David chittered like a monkey with a banana.
How cool!
How majestic!
Thea, however, was lost in virtual-novel.net thoughts.
She was fixated on a single thought.
Have the both of them gotten together?
She recalled the events that occurred before virtual-novel.net divorced James. She saw with virtual-novel.net own eyes Quincy and James making out in the office at Majestic Corporation. If virtual-novel.net had been there any later, they would have taken it further.
Reminded of this, virtual-novel.net eyes brimmed with tears.
“You said you loved me and that you cared for me. You liar! You’ve been fooling around with virtual-novel.net all this while. You must have been glad I divorced you!” She sobbed.
“Thea, what are you muttering about?”
“N-Nothing.” Thea wiped away virtual-novel.net tears.
Then, virtual-novel.net stood up and ran back into virtual-novel.net room.
In virtual-novel.net room, virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net phone out and rewatched James’ interview. Her eyes were fixated on James in his Black Dragon robe.
“He’s so handsome…” Thea was infatuated with him.
She had never thought of James as a handsome-looking man. Now, things were different. He exuded a masculine aura. His every action seemed to make virtual-novel.net fall harder for him. However, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had lost virtual-novel.net forever, There was no more possibility of virtual-novel.net being with virtual-novel.net ever again.

At the same time, at the Emperor’s Mansion in the Capital…
The Emperor was enraged. “Worthless garbage! All of them!”
He was lashing out in the room. He had warned Floyd to be vigilant. However, the man paid no heed to his warnings.
“How did virtual-novel.net manage to sneak into a city protected by a three-million-strong army and take out all the generals? Are they all trash?!”
