"Your Majesty, the rebellions of the princes have been mostly quelled. Now, only a few small forces remain. I believe it won't take much longer to completely pacify them," the minister of war reported with a smile, clearly in good spirits about the regional mutiny suppression.

"Good, good, good!"

The New Emperor was extremely excited as he sat there, never expecting such an outcome. Just when the regional powers seemed to be growing uncontrollably and he had no options, Peter Brown appeared like a bolt from the blue. It was due to Peter Brown's army fighting invincible battles across the regions that ultimate victory was achieved.

After another round of rewards at the imperial court, the court session ended.

Back in the study room, just as the New Emperor was feeling excited, a few trusted ministers came to see him.

After everyone sat down, the New Emperor looked at them and said, "Now that the regions are mostly pacified and tranquility restored to the empire, what should our next steps be?"

Blaire Nelson hesitated for a moment and glanced at the eunuchs. The New Emperor waved the eunuchs away with a hand gesture.

"Speak, what is on your mind?"

"Your Majesty, we feel a deep sense of concern that we must report to you."

"You are my trusted confidants; you may speak freely. I will not blame you."

"Your Majesty, currently, the main forces of the mutiny suppression army come from the Northern Region!"

At this, the New Emperor's expression changed.

The minister of war said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed the case. The generals who accomplished great feats are all from the Northern Army. Now, most of the empire's battle-ready troops belong to the Northern faction, which is an unsettling matter. His influence is too great!"

Without needing further explanation, the New Emperor naturally understood their concerns.

In fact, the New Emperor shared these concerns. The army's main force arrived from Peter Brown's Northern Army. It was Peter Brown's core troops that gave the entire army its formidable combat power.

"What are your thoughts?" After hesitating for a while, the New Emperor finally asked.

The study room fell into silence.

Everyone understood that with Peter Brown's presence, even if Peter Brown did nothing, the generals emerging from his Northern Army would obey his commands.

"Your Majesty, to speak candidly, if Peter Brown ever harbors disloyalty, it would be dangerous!" Blaire Nelson certainly hoped to prevent such a situation.

Indeed!

The New Emperor also fell silent. If such a situation did occur, the entire situation would truly become uncontrollable.

What to do?

In a moment of contemplation, the New Emperor discerned their intentions.

This!

The New Emperor truly felt unrest in his heart.

"What is Peter currently doing now?"

A minister in charge of intelligence said, "He hasn't done much; he instructs in farming every day."

Another minister said, "Your Majesty, precaution is necessary!"

The New Emperor's expression turned uncertain. The thought of letting such a person exist unsettled him, as he didn't know what might happen if...

He truly dared not imagine further.

"What would be the consequences if we did that?" the New Emperor asked.

Blaire Nelson said, "Lord Peter is deeply favored by the emperor; he surely must obey your command, Your Majesty. Moreover, all military authority now lies within the imperial court. With enough troops for suppression, no one can cause significant upheaval!"

The implication was clear; Peter Brown had to be eliminated. Only if Peter Brown died would the army not pose a problem.

"How is the control over the army now?"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. I have already made adjustments to those armies. The people in charge of each unit are trustworthy generals."

When the New Emperor looked towards the ministers, Blaire Nelson added, "Your Majesty, most of the Northern generals have already been transferred or promoted to Deputy General positions. Many have even defected."

"Yes, Your Majesty, there's no need to worry about the army. It is under your command."

"But, that family only has three members left, and they've moved to the countryside."

"Your Majesty, there are many Windsor Family members in Kingston. Only a small spark is needed, and starting from the Kingston division of the Windsor Family, it will inevitably lead to Peter Brown. This way, no one will question it!"

Blaire Nelson truly harbored murderous intent. Allowing a figure like Peter Brown, who has such significant influence over the army, to exist is detrimental to the entire empire.

"Very well, proceed as you planned then!"

The New Emperor's eyes also revealed a murderous intent. Only by eliminating Peter Brown could he truly seize control of this empire.

After receiving the New Emperor's confirmation, Blaire Nelson and the others reported their planned actions to the New Emperor.

What they didn't know was that ever since Peter Brown upgraded his cultivation, his Divine Sense had become immensely powerful. He would scan the Imperial Palace daily and had set up a warning formation at key locations within the palace. Any unusual movement within would be detected by Peter Brown.

It goes without saying that the goings and comings of Blaire Nelson and his group to the study room were also noticed.

Peter Brown heard every word of their conversation.

After retracting his Divine Sense, Peter Brown sat cross-legged, silently for a long time.

The New Emperor actually planned to make a move against him!

Peter Brown sighed softly.

"Someone, come."

When Peter Brown called out to the outside, a Genetic Being entered.

"Prepare everything; we have to leave," Peter Brown instructed.

"Yes!"

Peter Brown quickly summoned Melody Carter and Emily Williams.

"Peter, what's the matter?"

Melody Carter asked.

"I just got word that the court is plotting against me," Peter Brown said calmly.

"Ah!"

The two women were startled.

"I'm planning to send you both to the Northern Army."

"But didn't you hand over military authority?"

"Hmph, I was just waiting for the right moment. The chaos is just beginning."

After hearing about the New Emperor's plan to start with the Windsor Family in Kingston, Melody Carter worriedly asked, "What about the Windsor Family?"

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to save them at the crucial moment. However, henceforth, the Windsor Family will have little to do with us."

Peter Brown shook his head. With his current power, he could easily infiltrate the Imperial Palace, but he wanted more chaos first. Only in greater chaos would those individuals make their move.

After making arrangements, Melody Carter and her daughter were quietly escorted away by a team of Genetic Soldiers.

Because they had various preparations, the departure of Melody Carter and her daughter didn't attract much attention. The entire estate remained quiet, with Peter Brown sitting cross-legged, waiting.
