“Sigh…” Callan sighed deeply. He was slightly crestfallen upon hearing news of Lucjan’s demise. Callan was once the Sect Leader of the Gu Sect, and he swore to avenge his fallen comrades during the battle against the Gu Sect. Even now, deep down, he still held a grudge. Sometimes, he thought about continuing his revenge. However, his resolve had wavered. He thought of Lucjan as a confidant. Although he betrayed him in the end, he understood his reason for doing so. “What’s wrong?” Upon seeing Callan’s melancholic expression, James asked. “It’s nothing.” Callan shook his head slightly and said, “By the way, what do you plan to do next?” James said, “Now that I have regained control of Crucifier, I should return at once to save Thea. Maxine’s injuries are grave too. They need my help.” “Mhm.” Callan nodded and said, “In that case, you should return at once. I will remain at Divine Sword Villa for a few more days. After all, the First Blood Emperor and Ezekiel managed to s

Once its true abilities were realized, anyone, no matter how grave their injuries were, could be brought back to life. “I’ll return in a few days. I have to return home and have a look at Thea.” James was concerned about Thea. So, after Maxine regained consciousness, he left. Soon, he was home. Upon arriving home, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in. However, Thea was not in the living room. He went upstairs and opened the door to his room. There, Thea was sitting in a lotus position on the bed. At the moment, she exuded a terrifying aura, and her pupils were completely red. Upon seeing the state she was in, even James could not help but feel a shiver running down his spine. “Thea…” He called out. Only then did Thea recollect herself. Her terrifying aura subsided, and her eyes returned to normal. Standing up, she looked at James and flashed him a bright smile. “You’re back, Darling. Did everything go well?” “Yeah, things went fairly smoothly. What were you

Now that Lucjan was dead, this was the perfect opportunity to make a move against the Gu Sect. “I’ll discuss the specifics with Maxine before formulating a plan,” James looked at Thea and said. Although Thea might be displeased upon hearing him bringing up Maxine, Maxine was now in control of the Cadens and possessed great authority in the Capital and even in Orient Commerce. James knew nothing about the situation in the Capital. So, he had to be fully prepared for everything. “Get going, then.” Thea said smilingly, “You know, Maxine’s a pretty nice girl. You should better acquaint yourself with her.” James looked at Thea. At that moment, he could not understand what she was trying to say. Thea stood up and adjusted James’ shirt before saying with a serious look on her face, “With my condition, I won’t live for long. After I’m gone, you’ll need someone by your side…” Then, she fell silent. She knew that James would understand what she was hinting at. James did not say a

Maxine spoke feebly, “I-I’m alright… I have to go to headquarters and organize a meeting to announce the Cadens’ pullout from Orient Commerce, as well as the participation of James’ New Era Commerce.” “In the state you’re in?” Bennett furrowed his eyebrows. “J-Just send a few people along…” “I think I should take you there personally,” Bennett said. How would he be at ease letting Maxine go by herself with the condition she was in? Before Maxine headed to headquarters, James had already met up with Quincy. Quincy was dressed in red business attire and a pair of red high heels. Even her flowy hair was dyed red. She seemed to like the color. “James,” she greeted him sweetly as she got in the car. “To the Sullivans,” James ordered the driver. Then, he looked at Quincy and asked, “What’s the situation with New Era Commerce?” “Not bad,” Quincy said. “Ever since we took over the Lees’ businesses, New Era has grown by leaps and bounds. Over the period of time when you were

The two waited in the courtyard for a while before a chubby man hastily came running toward them. The man appeared before James and greeted him respectfully, “You should have informed me of your arrival beforehand, Mr. Caden. And you people! How could you not invite them in after they arrived? “Please, after you, Mr. Caden,” Zaiden, the Patriarch of the Sullivans, invited James and Quincy in. After they entered, he breathed a sigh of relief. Zaiden had heard of what James was capable of, especially his fierce battle against Tobias at the Mount Thunder Sect. James had now become invincible. He could not afford to offend such a man. In the Sullivans’ foyer… Zaiden stood by the side. James looked at him and said, “Have a seat, Zaiden.” Only then did Zaiden take a seat before looking at James and asking him respectfully, “May I ask what business you have with the Sullivans?” James said smilingly, “Why? Can’t I simply pay the Sullivans a visit?” Zaiden had a rough idea o
Chapter 1603
Upon leaving, James also breathed a sigh of relief. He said while smiling, “I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly with the Sullivans.” Quincy nodded and said, “Now, only the Johnstons of the Ancient Four remain. If we can win over the Johnstons, New Era will reach even greater heights.” “I’m afraid not.” James shook his head slightly and said, “There’s bad blood between me and the Johnstons. There’s no way I can convince them. In fact, I’d be grateful if they don’t get in my way.” James had never considered allying with the Johnstons. After all, he killed the previous Emperor and Yaakov Johnston, the Patriarch of the Johnstons. Thea, too, killed Kennedy Johnston. Their grudge against the Johnstons ran too deep. Quincy asked, “What should we do next?” “I’ll find the King and meet Xavion Zachary.” “What about me?” James thought about it and said, “How about this? You should organize a gathering and invite the members of New Era Commerce. Then, I’ll show up with Xavion an
Chapter 1604
These were turbulent times in the Capital. Before, James had only targeted the military. Now, even the commercial world was involved. From today onwards, Sol would descend into disarray. Some long-established families would be toppled from power, while some emerging families would seize the opportunity and rise to power. With the upcoming coronation of the new King, they would gain tremendously from this. At that moment, in the Callahans’ residence in Cansington… All this while, the Callahans had been thriving in Cansington. With their connection with James, they immediately emerged as the rising star in Cansington. Even families from the Capital had to show their respect toward them. Meanwhile, the Callahans paid close attention to the situation in the Capital. As the Cadens and the Sullivans announced their withdrawal from Orient Commerce and joined New Era Commerce, the Callahans could no longer suppress their desire. “Father, this is the perfect opportunity.” The Callahan
Chapter 1605
Although there were many legends surrounding James lately, the King had no idea just how strong he currently was. James smiled and said, “I have reached the Sixth Stair. Becoming a ninth-rank grandmaster is just a matter of time.” Upon hearing this, Gloom, who was behind the King, exclaimed, “What? The Sixth Stair?” Since he was a martial artist, he knew exactly what those words meant. By reaching the Sixth Stair, one would have surpassed many powerful figures in the past thousand years. He could not believe his ears. He found it hard to believe that James, an ordinary man, could become such a terrifying existence in such a short period of time. This was unbelievable. How on earth did he cultivate? James smiled and said, “Can you leave this to me now?” “Yes.” After thinking for a moment, the King said, “I’ll be abdicating soon, but I still have a family to feed. I only ask that you offer me some benefits once you become the new King.” “Sure.” James smiled and said, “That’
