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

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’
Chapter 1606
Xavion was under house arrest as the information in his hand was closely related to the next generation of communications technology. Whoever obtained the information would gain an edge over their competitors. Although he was confined to a restricted space, his safety was guaranteed. Besides, he lived a rather comfortable life inside the villa. “This is the place.” Gloom pointed to the villa before them and said, “Xavion is isolated from the rest of the world here. Besides, he was sent here secretly by the King and has no interactions whatsoever with the outside world. Even if there’s an apocalypse outside, there’s no way he’d know.” “Mhm, I’ll go have a look.” James nodded and headed in the direction of the villa. As the villa seemed to be unguarded, he simply pushed the door open and walked right in. Upon entering the villa, the tip of a sword was immediately pressed against his. As the sword wielder moved at lightning speed, James did not manage to dodge in time. “Lege

His Six Streams Blade was invincible. Gloom was curious to see how the Yada’s Six Streams Blade compared to the Cadens’ Thirteen Heavenly Swords. He observed the situation in anticipation. James stood on a branch of a tree and looked at Legend not too far away from him. Then, he made a welcoming gesture and said, “Come on, you should strike while you have the opportunity to do so.” “Hmph! How impudent!” Though Legend had seen arrogant people before, this was the first time he met someone as haughty as James. He smiled coldly. Then, in the blink of an eye, he appeared before James and slashed with his sword. James remained there, unmoving. At the moment Legend slashed, he pulled out the Blade of Justice. In that instant, a golden light glimmered. He raised his hand and easily blocked Legend’s attack. However, as Legend’s attack carried great force, the branch James was on was shattered by the terrifying Sword Energy. In that instant, Legend disappeared only to reappear sev

Tyrus had utterly defeated James. After reflection, James realized that his level of martial arts was abysmal. Unwilling to waste his breath on this subject, he simply cut to the chase, “Where’s Xavion? I’d like to see him.” Legend pointed at the stairs and said, “He’s upstairs. Here, follow me.” Saying that, he stood up and said, “Please.” James stood up and followed him upstairs. Upon arriving on the second floor, James noticed there was much research equipment one could only find in a research laboratory. Meanwhile, a man was busy smashing his fingers on the computer. “Xavion, someone’s here to meet you,” Legend said. “Hold on a second, will you?” Xavion did not even lift his head. Legend said smilingly, “He’s been this way ever since he came here. Sometimes, he’d even skip his meals because of work.” James walked toward Xavion and had a glimpse at the monitor screen. However, as there was only unrecognizable data on it, James could not understand anything at all
Chapter 1609
Although he could not interact with the outside world without a phone, he had a computer that he used to check the news. Besides, Legend would occasionally talk to him about the events that took place in the world. He looked at James and asked, “Are you here on behalf of the nation or you as an individual?” “The nation.” James looked him in the eye and said, “If not for Sol, I’d have no interest in the technology in your hands whatsoever.” Xavion asked, “How do you plan to cooperate?” James said, “You’re both a scientist and a businessman, so you shouldn’t know much about the situation in the Capital. How about I tell you more about it?” James narrated the chain of events that unfolded─starting from Orient Commerce, which was established a century ago, to the current convoluted web of relationships. After that, he reiterated once more, “I established New Era Commerce to fight against Orient Commerce. Now, though it has reached a rather large scale, we need a commo

Xavion acted quickly. He made a backup of the data, destroyed the computer system of the research laboratory on the second floor, and also smashed the monitor and the hard drive to pieces. Then, James boarded the plane headed to Sol alongside Xavion and left Mascuoyae. Soon, they arrived at Sol. Since Xavion was crucial to his plans, James brought him to the Cadens’ residence straight away so that he could reunite with his stepdaughter. Although Delilah was an adopted child, he nonetheless treated her well. After sending Xavion to the Cadens’ residence, James returned home and checked Thea’s condition. Fortunately, it had not deteriorated. “I’m fine, Darling,” Thea said smilingly. “By the way, didn’t you go to Mascuoyae? Did you bring the guy back?” “Yes, I did. I have to go find Quincy at once and discuss our next course of action.” “By the way, I have something I need to tell you,” Thea said hesitantly. James said, “I’m all ears.” “G-Grandpa…” After briefly hesitating
