"Hmph, that damn emperor must really think he one-up me this time." Jiang Ming scoffed coldly. 

He felt like a king that got checkmated by his opponent in a chess game, and that was definitely not a good feeling.

Yuan Chunhua could only pat his shoulder lightly, hoping that he would not be affected by it.

After all, even she was surprised to hear the news that the Emperor, Zhao Tong, had already known everything regarding the Skartoom incident. 

'Truly a frightening emperor even though his usual demeanor does not match his personality.' She thought. 

"Anyway, let's not idle any longer. The Imperial Soldiers are already on standby, waiting for our command." Yuan Chunhua said calmly. 

Jiang Ming nodded his head.

Now was not the time to get revenge on Zhao Tong. 

'Just you wait for it, Zhao Tong… I'll make sure to get my revenge by snatching your most precious in front of you.' Jiang Ming sneered inwardly.
