After James visited the Prosperous Dynasty, he went to Common Clinic. He didn't immediately see Thea, knowing Yoel wouldn't dare trouble her again and expecting her to summon him shortly.

Meanwhile, the Blithe King, having received James' call, was furious. As Blithe King and commander-in-chief of the Five Armies, he refused to clean up James' messes.

"Send troops to the Prosperous Dynasty immediately! Also, find out who owns the place and its background!" he roared, his fury causing a tremor throughout the military region.

Hundreds of military vehicles were dispatched instantly; the intelligence team sprang into action. Xander, a well-known figure in Cansington with a shady past, was easily investigated. Within ten minutes, information on the Prosperous Dynasty reached the Blithe King. He read the report, exploded in rage, and roared, "Seal up the Prosperous Dynasty and detain everyone involved. Leave no one behind. This is a military operation!"

"Understood!"

The military region acted swiftly that afternoon. Hundreds of vehicles surged through the streets, causing a public commotion.

"What's happening?"

"Another drill?"

Seeing the vehicles outside the Prosperous Dynasty, citizens speculated.

"I heard the Prosperous Dynasty isn't a legitimate business."

"Yeah, Xander's the boss. He's done a lot of dirty work, but lately he's been keeping a low profile."

"They say new officials are zealous. I guess the Blithe King is going after Xander."

At the Prosperous Dynasty, Daniel, a one-star lieutenant general under the Blithe King, led his troops inside. The floor was littered with security guards and gangsters, screaming in pain. Daniel's face paled slightly.

"This…"

"How did Xander cross James?"

In the basement, he found over twenty of Xander's unconscious subordinates, including David and the injured Yoel. Xander himself lay dead nearby.

"Deal with the corpse and detain everyone," Daniel ordered.

Yoel frantically protested, "General! Don't detain me! I didn't do anything. I'm Yoel Smith…"

Daniel stopped, glanced at Yoel contemptuously, and kicked him. "Who cares about the Smiths? You offended James and caused our commander trouble. You won't be spared!"

Yoel, after being kicked to the ground, scrambled up and pleaded, "No! James…James told me to bring his brother home!" He pointed to the unconscious David. "This is James' wife's younger brother. He asked me to bring him back safely."

Daniel, understanding the situation—Xander had harmed Thea's brother—said, "Then what are you still doing here? Get out!" He kicked Yoel again. These people provoked others and now the Blithe King had to clean up their mess.

Yoel, desperate to leave but injured, wept. Then, a soldier entered, "General, someone outside claims to be York Smith. His son is inside. Should I let him in?"

Daniel gestured towards Yoel. "Let him in and tell him to take this trash away."

"Alright."
