Upon hearing this, Blake froze, then, virtual-novel.net asked, “Why? Did something happen?”
“Tiara was abducted. She should now be in the Emperor’s research laboratory. The military has mobilized. Should they fail, we will force our way in to save virtual-novel.net and burn down the place while we’re at it.”
James’ face was dark.
All this while, the Emperor had been targeting him, but James remained passive. It was understandable if the Emperor targeted James, yet time and again, the Emperor made moves on the people around him.
First, it was Thea. Now, it was Tiara,
Tiara was a kind-hearted girl, and James had let virtual-novel.net down once. If anything happened to her, virtual-novel.net would feel remorseful for a lifetime. It was time to show the Emperor that virtual-novel.net was no pushover.
“Alright, I’ll be there in three hours.” Blake hung up the phone.
James tossed his phone aside. He leaned on the sofa and covered his face.
At the same time, in the military region…
The Blithe King mobilized the army.
Hundreds of helicopters headed toward the mountain near the border of Lily City.
***
In a mountain near the border of Lily City…
This was a research laboratory. Fully-armed men were stationed outside.
In an office in the base…
Scar frowned upon seeing the information his henchmen returned with.
Looking at one of his henchmen before him, virtual-novel.net asked, “Did you really find this on the girl who’s been by James’ side all this while?”
A thirty-year-old-looking man was standing there. His name was Nasir Mozart, one of Scar’s subordinates.
Nasir nodded. “It’s true, Scar. I even abducted her. She’s now in the basement.”
Hearing this, Scar frowned. “How weird… You told me that you were following virtual-novel.net all day. Apart from Herbal Biotech, virtual-novel.net didn’t go anywhere else. How did virtual-novel.net get virtual-novel.net hands on this piece of information?”
“I-I’m not sure…”
“Alright now, you’re dismissed.” Scar waved.
“Understood!” Nasir turned to leave.
After virtual-novel.net left, Scar pulled his phone out and called the Emperor.
Soon, the call went through.
“Something happened, Boss…”
The Emperor asked in a cold voice, “What do you mean by that?”
Scar hurriedly explained, “My subordinates captured the girl who has been by James’ side all this while. Her name is Tiara Youngblood. We found a piece of information on her. The locations of all the research laboratories within Sol were clearly stated on it. Although I can’t be sure of its authenticity, some of the information is accurate, which includes the research laboratory I’m in charge of.”
Upon hearing this, the Emperor exclaimed, “Is that true?”
“Yes.”
“How many research laboratories were stated on it?”
After glancing through it, Scar replied, “Eighteen.”
Hearing this, the Emperor’s face darkened. He never expected that James was well aware of what virtual-novel.net was doing. James even learned of the number of research laboratories under his control after some investigation.
Scar asked, “What should we do now, Boss?”
After contemplating for quite some time, the Emperor said, “Leave the girl alone for now. I will head there at once and interrogate virtual-novel.net myself. We’ll use virtual-novel.net to lure James here and put an end to this fiasco once and for all!”
The Emperor was enraged. This only happened because Reign had been merciful back then.
James had to die. This was the only way out for the Emperor.
