Chapter 1336
The King began to talk about Orient Commerce.“At the time, the country was falling behind in every way. There were still a lot of impoverished people in the country. Many were cold and hungry. Electricity was not yet available in many places.“Lance founded Orient Commerce for two purposes.“First of all, he was concerned that the ancient martial artists led by the Ancient Four would meddle in the affairs of the country. So he founded Orient Commerce, drew these families and ancient martial artists in, and led them to fortune. Furthermore, they made an agreement not to interfere with the country's major affairs.“There was another purpose, and that was to guide the people of the country toward prosperity.“The Great Four, as well as some martial artists, emerged from this and established themselves in the Capital. Over the last few decades, Sol’s economy has experienced tremendous growth. The ancient martial artists, led by the Ancient Four, gained control of Sol's economy as wel

Soon after, he arrived at the Red Flame Army military region.In the office...“According to the investigation, Mr. Caden, over two months ago, when you left the Capital for Mount Thunder Sect, someone went looking for trouble with Delilah and her mother. Delilah, however, is very smart and seemed to be aware of this. She had left with her mother before they were discovered,” said Henry.James asked, “Where are they now?”“According to information gathered from the Red Flame Army's intelligence network, she went to Eyrothia and stayed in a small town in one of the Eyrothia countries. But soon after that, she was captured. Who took her and where she is now is still being investigated,” said Henry.James' expression was grave when he heard that. He pondered for quite a while and asked, “Is there any news about Quincy's stepfather, Xavion?”“Not yet. He disappeared shortly after the company declared bankruptcy and has not been found. Many forces are searching for him right now, but

Henry had always been following James.They had been comrades and brothers for ten years. He knew a lot about James, but he had no idea that James had quietly become a martial artist.While he was at Mount Thunder Sect before the end of the year, he was injured by Thea and taken to Medical Valley to heal. His new year was spent at Medical Valley.During this time, he finally learned about ancient martial artists and how powerful they were.“Mr. Caden…”After finishing a glass, he looked at James anxiously.“You’re holding something back. This isn’t like you.” James asked, “What’s the matter? Tell me. Don’t hesitate like a wuss.”Only then did Henry ask, “What’s the rank of your strength right now, Mr. Caden?”While he was at the Medical Valley, he talked with the Medical Valley disciples who were looking after him about a variety of topics related to the world of ancient martial arts. He also discovered how the strength of martial artists was classified.In order, it was from

“I really didn’t know,” said Thea while also smiling, “Quincy and I were best friends at the time, but I had no idea she had a boyfriend.”“Ahem!”James let out a few dry coughs. He did not expect them to talk about him, much less being so upbeat and lighthearted while doing so. This was not quite like the Thea he was used to.He quickly changed the subject. “Alright, let's stop gossiping. I just received some news today.”James began to speak, repeating everything Halvor had said. Then, he recounted the King’s words in detail.“This is the current situation of the Capital. The root of everything is Orient Commerce, and the circumstances surrounding Orient Commerce are extremely complicated. This involved a large number of people and consortia. Even the Ancient Four led by the Cadens and some ancient martial artists, as well as the President, Lance.”“It’s so complicated?” Thea was also taken aback when she heard this.Quincy furrowed her brows and said, “This is far too complic

They had gathered and were talking about Orient Commerce.Maxine was talking about the current members of Orient Commerce that she was aware of.The current Orient Commerce relied heavily on the Great Four of the ancient martial arts world. However, the Great Four had been doing their own thing for years and were rarely in contact with one another.Now, Orient Commerce was just for show. Despite that, it was not dissolved, given that there were always profits to be made.“Still, I think it's necessary to establish a chamber of commerce first.” After speaking for a while, Maxine looked at James once again and continued, “Once the chamber of commerce is established, we’ll recruit some foreign companies to compete with Orient Commerce.”“It’s too late for that,” said Quincy. “The election is only six months away. In the remaining time, the chamber of commerce won't be able to grow, and James intended to resolve everything before the election.”“Recruiting the Great Four would be the

“Thea, you should follow James. He must be exhausted and probably needs someone to care for him.”Despite what she said, Maxine was well aware that Thea was an ambitious person. Even if she had not told Thea to do so, she would still use the Celestial Sect to cause a commotion.“Okay.”Everyone nodded together.Maxine said, “After the Chamber of Commerce’s establishment, I plan to have the Cadens leave the Orient Commerce to throw people for a loop. This will cause others to surely panic and worry about other problems that may crop up. This will be the best time for James to shoot.”She continued to analyze the situation. “James, you can’t hesitate. You must resolve all the problems as soon as possible. The longer you delay, it’s more likely that accidents will happen. During this period, we need to find out who the members are of Orient Commerce as well as the relationships they have with each other. It’ll be important to investigate the associated people and collect evidence so

Delilah’s whereabouts were still unknown.James needed to personally head to Eyrothia.Her stepfather was the boss of Blue Tech Corporation and played an important role in the Tuckson family incident.The few people present knew about the incident and understood why James had to go to Eyrothia.Thea looked at him with concern in her eyes and asked, “How long are you going to stay there?”James shook his head and gave a vague response, “I don’t know. If things go well, I’ll be back in a few days. Otherwise, it’ll probably take quite a long time to sort out. According to my estimations, I should be back within a month.”He looked at the few people in the room and said, “I’ll need you guys to help me manage the state of affairs in the Capital. We can’t afford for it to go haywire. Maxine, you’re the head of the Cadens and have a sizeable influence in the ancient martial world. During my absence, I need you to protect Thea and Quincy. Ensure nothing happens to them.”Maxine pouted.

Henry was stunned by James' order. “James, do you really want me to come with you? That hardly seems appropriate. My command over the Red Flame Army is not yet stable, and some of the older soldiers aren’t listening to me yet. Who’ll be in command of the Red Flame Army if I leave now?”“I already have a plan. Things in the Capital are extremely tenuous now and it’s on the verge of descending into chaos. Since it’s come to this, let’s spur things on a little more and leave together. When we get back, we can give the Red Flame Army some much-needed spring cleaning,” James said with a knowing smile.James wanted to use this as an opportunity to see who from the Red Flame Army would step out and incite conflict while he and Henry were away.He had a suspicion that someone would attempt to allow Halvor to escape during their absence.Fortunately, Halvor had outlived his usefulness.He would just be a means for James to take action against the army’s dissidents.It would mean that Jame
