The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 717
After shutting his eyes, James fell asleep unknowingly.
However, he was soon awakened by hunger. He would then fall asleep again.
This repeated multiple times. Finally, he could hear the sound of footsteps. Fully–armed men from the Red Flame army dragged
James out of his cell. James could finally see the sunlight. Basking in its warmth, James relished the short–lived experience.
Many convoys were at the prison gates.
The Emperor, dressed in his Red Flame robe, got off one of the convoys and approached James.
Seeing the pathetic state James was in, the Emperor gloated, “Did you not have a good night‘s sleep last night?”
James glanced at the Emperor. He wanted to speak. However, he did not have the strength to do so. He would surely collapse to
the ground if not for the men supporting him. “Bring him to the courthouse.” “Understood.”
James was shoved into the convoy. The courthouse was a place of trial for high–ranking officials of Sol. It was mostly deserted
all year long.
However, there was currently a crowd outside the courthouse. Soleans from all over the country were gathered here. Even
foreign reporters were present.
There were also many familiar figures present. Thea, Quincy, Xara, Tiara, and Cynthia were all there. Some who were
acquainted with James were also there.
A convoy approached the courthouse, and all cameras were directed toward the approaching vehicle.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it‘s currently eight in the morning. This is the courthouse in the Capital. We‘re here today to witness the
trial of James, the Black Dragon, one of the most powerful figures in the nation.”
All the TV stations were broadcasting the news.
The convoy stopped in front of the courthouse‘s gates.
A column of fully–armed Red Flame army swiftly cleared a path for the convoy,

The door opened and James was dragged out of the convoy.

The cameras snapped photos non-stop.
fames’ face was pale, and his hair was disheveled. He was in a sorry state. At that moment, he was completely unlike the
majestic and commanding Black Dragon.
“What a shame.” “The guardian of Sol committed such crimes all for his personal gain.”
“National hero my *ss! He‘s the disgrace of Sol!”
The people cursed him. Some spat on him and even threw rotten eggs.
James was struck all over his body.
Seeing this, a grin crept up on the Emperor‘s face. Meanwhile, Thea burst into tears. She wanted to make her way over to
James, but she was stopped by the Red Flame army who were maintaining order. The others looked away, unwilling to witness
such a scene. Abused and insulted, James was hauled into the courthouse. In the courthouse hall, many high–ranking officials
gradually arrived. Hendrix Hudson, the Secretary–General, Leroy Tucker, the Chief Executive, the Emperor, the Blithe king, the
Centurion, and the Barbarian King were all present. There were also some mid – ranking officials. Reporters from all over Sol
and around the world gathered.
James was dragged to the defendant‘s table.
He then took his seat. Leaning against the chair, his eyes were on the verge of shutting.
The General Secretary stood up and read out loud, “Today, James, the Black Dragon will be tried in court. All crimes he
committed will be listed. He will receive the punishment he deserves. At the same time, this should serve as a reminder for all
public servants that your duty is to serve the people, not to abuse your position for your personal gain.”
