The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1485
Lance said indifferently, “That’s your problem. Go to the courthouse as soon as possible. I need to know what’s happening in
there and what James is trying to accomplish.”
Lance contemplated for a long time and decided not to get rid of James just yet.
There would be no one to keep the Gu Sect in check and maintain a balance if James was gone.
Lucjan was not a pushover.
Lance was not confident in an absolute victory against Lucjan.
Therefore, he could only use James to suppress Lucjan.
Who James targeted was not important.
He could easily promote another person in seconds. Thus, James’ actions were not of concern.
“Understood. I’ll get going right now.”
Tobias did not say anything more. He turned around and left, heading to the courthouse with the Phantom Army.
“We’ve new intel that the Phantom Army has been dispatched.”
“The commander, Tobias, is leading members of the Phantom Army to the courthouse.”
The news spread like wildfire as soon as the Phantom Army was dispatched.
It was not long before the news spread to major families in the Capital.
All the major families in the Capital had been paying attention to the situation and waiting for the latest. updates regarding the
courthouse, especially the Sullivans and the Lees.
They were paying extra attention to the situation because Maxine had approached them to convince them to support James.
They were curious to see what James was capable of doing. Moreover, they wanted to observe the reaction of Orient Commerce
and the Gu Sect.

Everyone was waiting.
The Dark Castle, Dragon Palace, Jake’s underground intelligence network, and the Red Flame Army’s intelligence network had
launched investigations on everyone working in the courthouse.
The night passed silently.
It was a restless night for many.
Everyone was waiting for the latest updates.
At dawn, the investigation results were sent to the courthouse.
It was as James suspected. In such high positions, none of them were clean, and all of them had committed a crime of some
sort. Some of the crimes were not severe enough for them to deserve the death penalty, but it was sufficient to get them
dismissed from their positions.
Meanwhile, Tobias had departed for the courthouse at night. However, whether it was deliberate or not, he only appeared at the
courthouse gates at dawn.
James walked into the main hall of the courthouse with the investigation materials from his various intelligence networks.
“W-What exactly are you trying to do, James?”
Seeing James suddenly appearing again, Francesco could not help asking.
He had been trapped in the courthouse all night and was anxious, unsure of what James was planning.
James handed the information to him.
Francesco took a look, and his expression immediately changed.
James said indifferently, “Chief Justice, you’ve been dismissed. From now onward, you’re no longer the chief justice of the
courthouse.”
“You don’t have the right to dismiss me, James. I’m the highest law enforcer of Sol. To dismiss me, you’ll need the approval of
the King himself...”

“You’re dismissed if I say so.”
James parted his lip and ordered, “Come arrest these people. Take them into custody for the time being and wait for the new
chief justice to take office. Then, we’ll put them on trial and convict them.”
Immediately, a few Red Flame Army soldiers walked inside.
Francesco roared, “James, this is the Capital! This isn’t your territory! Do you really think you can do as you please...”
However, James ignored him.
“James.”
At that moment, Henry approached and said solemnly, “The Phantom Army has shown up.”
“Oh? They finally showed up?”
James smiled and said, “I thought the Phantom Army would show up and try to stop me as soon as I took action. I didn’t expect
them to wait the whole night. Let’s go meet the Phantom Army and Tobias.”
He turned around and walked out of the courthouse.
Many people were gathered outside the courthouse.
The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a robe.
It was none other than Tobias.
Tobias no longer looked like an old man. Instead, he looked to be in his fifties.
Upon seeing Tobias’ youthful appearance, James knew he had reached the eighth rank.
