The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 709
Tonight would be a sleepless night for James.
James, the commander–in–chief of the Southern Plains and one of the five commanders–in–chief of Sol, was a man who stood
at the peak of the power
pyramid.
Not only was he the guardian of Sol, but he was also a national hero.
He had just retaken Southern Plains City from the enemy without bloodshed. The citizens of Sol showered him with adulation.
However, with a single accusation letter, he instantly became a pariah.
The internet was in an uproar.
Describing James as the cancer of the nation, he was severely reprehended.
“Down with the Black Dragon!”
At the Heavenly Palace of the Capital...
This was the residence of the King of Sol, the Supreme Commander of the nation.
In the courtyard of the residence, the Supreme Commander was wearing a gray suit. Though he was around fifty years of age
and slightly chubby, he was
energetic. He exuded a distinct aura.
At the moment, he was sitting in a gazebo sipping his tea.
Before him was a middle–aged man.
His name was Hendrix Hudson.
He was the secretary of the King of Sol. His distinct position made him one of the most powerful men in the nation.
“Hendrix, what do you think of this?”

“Hmm?”
Hendrix momentarily froze. Then, he asked, “What do you mean, may I ask?”
Glancing at Hendrix, the King of Sol sipped his tea. “You know what I’m talking
about.”
“Sir, do you mean the allegations against James Caden, the Dragon King? News has spread like wildfire on the Internet. It’s far
too late to censor it now.”
what do you think of it?” The Supreme Commander looked at
“In that case, Hendrix.
At that moment, however, a man walked over to them in a hurry.
Wearing a black suit, he looked spirited. However, he was wearing an anxious expression. He walked over to them and hurriedly
said, “Something bad happened, sir! The Dragon King has been reported. The Procuratorate is now filled with anonymous
accusation letters against him. Not only that, thousands upon thousands of Solean civilians are now demanding we investigate
the matter. If the allegations turn out to be true, they want the Dragon King severely punished.”
It was the Emperor.
“How did this happen? He was only recently made the Dragon King. I never expected him to abuse his power and commit so
many crimes while he was the Dragon General! How audacious of him!” the Emperor exclaimed.
The King of Sol sipped his tea. Devoid of all emotions on his face, it was hard to figure out what he was thinking.
“In that case, what do you think we should do?”
The King of Sol looked at the Emperor and said calmly.
The Emperor replied, “We can’t let this slide. James‘ crimes have already generated public discontent. If we do not act decisively,
the people won’t be satisfied. If everyone follows in the Dragon King’s footsteps, Sol will be thrown into disarray.”
The King of Sol said calmly, “In that case, I’ll leave the investigation to you. Form a special task force with you as the captain.
You will be given special authority to investigate the matter. No one’s allowed to interfere in your investigation. Of course, as the

commander–in–chief of the Red Flame army, I don’t think anyone would dare interfere in the first place.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll thoroughly investigate the matter. I’ll bring my men to Cansington immediately to investigate and collect
evidence. We’ll start with the Transgenerational Group. If James truly is the behind–the–scenes owner of the corporation, I’ll
immediately seal it off. No related personnel shall escape.”
After giving his assurance, the Emperor turned to leave.
Once he left, Hendrix asked, “Are we really conducting an investigation into the Dragon King?”
The King of Sol said calmly, “The innocent have nothing to be afraid of. If the allegations against him are true, he’ll be promptly
arrested and executed. If he was being framed, this would be the perfect opportunity to clear his good name.”
“How wise of you, sir.”
The King of Sol lightly waved. “You’re dismissed. Hold a press conference this evening and announce that we’ve established a
special task force to investigate the matter. We should first provide an explanation to the people.”
“I’ll see to it immediately.”
Hendrix turned to leave.
Whew!
The King of Sol took a deep breath.
Thirty years ago, the demise of the previous Black Dragon caused a reshuffling of cards in the dynamics of Sol’s royal court.
He was made King of Sol thirty years ago and remained in his position to this day.
Now, the same problem had arisen.
If he could not handle the situation well, it would be the end for him.
