Chapter 1338
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

James had been running around the whole day.It was already night when he returned to the courtyard house that Thea had bought.Due to how busy he was, he had not had dinner.When he arrived home, he plopped onto the sofa and felt like staying there forever.Thea walked over, sat beside him, and held his arm, saying, “You’ve worked hard today.”“It wasn’t anything particularly strenuous. I’ve been meditating in seclusion in my room for two months, so I haven’t gotten used to running around again. By the way, where’s Quincy?”James had not seen Quincy after returning home.Thea immediately explained, “I didn’t chase her away. I asked her to stay here with us for the time being, but she insisted it was inconvenient and said that she’d get her own place.”James frowned.The situation in the Capital was volatile, and Quincy was essential to their plans.“Honey, please believe me. I truly didn’t chase her away. Should I call her to ask her to come back right now?” Thea felt wronge

James picked Thea up in his arms and walked toward their bedroom.Thea wrapped her arms around James’ neck.The night passed by silently.Early the next morning, James was awoken by the sound of his phone ringing.He turned around and got out of bed. As he was about to reach out for his phone, Thea handed it to him.James looked at the caller and saw that the call had come from the King.He answered the phone. “Has the trip to Durandal been finalized?”“Yes.”The King laughed heartily as he spoke, “I spoke to the queen of Durandal last night and mentioned your request. She is pleased and welcomes the elite soldiers of Sol to her country. I’ve already ironed out the details of this collaboration. It’s set to take place in five days’ time. The entire meeting will be held for a week. I’ve arranged for someone to contact you and apprise you of the detailed itinerary later.”“Alright.”James hung up the call and set his phone aside.Beside him, Thea asked, “When are you leaving,
