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

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

This was evident by the events that had unfolded as of late. “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “I have an appointment with Quincy Xenos.” “Please, come in.” The security guards did not dare stop him. Meanwhile, many reporters gathered just outside of New Era Commerce. James’ arrival caused quite a stir, and a photo of him entering the building was taken. In an instant, rumors began spreading. Meanwhile, the reporters who wished to garner more attention exaggerated the minute details. In the chairman’s office on the eighteenth floor of New Era Commerce… Quincy was scrutinizing a few documents in her hands. A glamorous-looking woman in business attire stood beside her. It was Xiomara Lee, the former person in charge of the Lees’ businesses. She was now an assistant to Quincy. “Quincy, we have issued the release. In the morning of the day after tomorrow, the members of New Era will gather here for the first Annual General Meeting. Please have a look at the newly-compiled list

“By the way…” James was reminded of Thea’s request. Looking at Quincy, he asked, “What are the current requirements for joining New Era?” Quincy replied, “The requirements are rather strict. Only companies that have a market value of fifty billion dollars and above are qualified for the application process. Not only that, but we even have a professional team to audit their accounts. Only businesses with a healthy cash flow can pass the preliminary round.” James nodded and said, “Here’s the case. The Callahans wish to join New Era Commerce. Could you do something about that?” Quincy said smilingly, “The chamber of commerce belongs to you, James. I’m only a manager helping you. Your word has the final say.” Hearing this, James was relieved. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave. I’ll arrange for someone to send Xavion here in secret. However, be mindful that Xavion should be kept out of the public eye for now, or else he might be in danger.” “I see…” After thi

“You did great, Thea.” Upon entering the house, Lex began praising Thea. “You truly are a blessing to the Callahans. After all, you were the one who showed the family the path to glory! Now, we have even established a foothold in the Capital. I believe that we will reach even greater heights in the future and become one of the most powerful families in Sol.” “I’ll return to my room.” Without greeting Lex and the others, James left a single remark and returned to his room. David looked at Thea and asked, “He doesn’t look too happy, does he?” Thea smiled and said, “He must be tired. There has been so much work lately.” “Oh…” David said, “Speaking of work, James truly is influential. I came personally to New Era Commerce many times to submit the membership application. However, each time, I was rejected. After speaking to you about the problem, someone immediately contacted us and informed us of our successful application.” Thea smiled. She would not have lent a helping
