“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

In the volcanic crater of Divine Sword Villa… Callan was standing beside Waylon Giovanni, the owner of Divine Sword Villa. He said anxiously, “Waylon, your decision is too reckless. This is a divine sword. Yet, you invited the world’s martial artists to come and witness its creation. This will surely attract the attention of wicked men. By then, there could be a fierce and bloody battle for the sword.” Waylon shrugged and said, “I don’t have a choice. For Dragonslayer to be truly born, the blood of the Giovanni family and many powerful martial artists are needed. I do not wish for death or destruction, but some sacrifices must be made.” “Why then do we allow such an evil sword to be created?” Callan’s expression darkened, and he said coldly, “I might as well destroy it now.” After saying that, he leaped to the sky and lunged toward Dragonslayer. Powerful True Energy gathered in his palm, which created a shapeless tornado that struck Dragonslayer which was levitating on the fu

Maxine was the caller. He answered the call and asked, “What’s wrong?” Maxine’s voice came from the phone, “James, Divine Sword Villa is inviting the world’s martial artists to gather at Divine Sword Villa to witness the creation of a divine sword. Have you received the invitation letter?” “What the hell? I’ve never heard of this.” James froze. He knew about what had happened in Divine Sword Villa and the creation of Dragonslayer. However, he did not expect Waylon to invite everyone there to witness its creation. At that moment, Thea woke from her slumber. Covering her delicate figure with the blanket, she rubbed her eyes and asked, “What’s wrong Darling?” James hung up the phone and said, “Maxine called to tell me that Divine Sword Villa is sending out invitation letters to the world’s martial artists, inviting them to witness the creation of Dragonslayer.” “That’s great! I would love to see it with my own eyes.” Thea looked at James in anticipation. “Darling, why don’

Soon, he arrived at the Red Flame Army’s headquarters. In the Emperor’s office… James sat on an armchair while Henry stood beside him. “How did it go?” James asked. Henry replied, “The investigation’s results are out. But…” “Cut to the chase.” Henry handed James a document and said, “Centennial Corporation’s internal situation is much more complicated than we initially thought. Centennial has many shareholders who are all powerful figures. The largest shareholder is called Kayden Owen, the grandson of Lucjan Owen. Fifty-four years old and the person in charge of Centennial Corporation. Please have a look at the detailed information.” James scrutinized the document. After some time, he put it down. Just as Henry had described, the internal situation of Centennial Corporation was much more complex than he initially thought. There were many shareholders who possessed enormous power and influence. To eradicate them all in one fell swoop, they must be pulled out by the roots

He looked at Xavion and asked, “Did Quincy brief you about the situation?” “Yes,” Xavion said with fire in his eyes, “Quincy told me that we will establish a brand-new telecommunications company with an upfront investment of approximately one trillion dollars. Once the research yields results, I will receive an additional ten trillion dollars in funds. We will soon begin establishing Z network cell towers all across Sol. I estimate that the Z network signal will have national coverage within five years. “In ten years, I will expand the Z network to encompass the globe.” … Xavion began babbling non-stop. James knew little about this. He looked at Xavion and asked, “So, in essence, how long do you need to research the Z network after we provide you with sufficient capital and the world’s best scientists?” Xavion said, “The Z network is just a general term that is divided into many stages. If it’s telecommunications technology you’re talking about, I have already completely ma

Many convoys appeared before them. However, they all belonged to the Phantom Army. Fully-armed soldiers swiftly got off the convoys and pointed their firearms in the direction of James’ convoy. James looked at the soldiers of the Phantom Army. His face darkened, and he asked coldly, “What do you think you are doing? Do you know who I am?” “Of course I know.” A middle-aged man stepped forward. He was wearing an ancient-looking costume. James fixed his gaze on the man. He could not recall the individual standing before him. “Who are you?” “You may address me as Sky.” Upon hearing this, James’ face darkened. Sky… How would he not have heard of Sky? He was one of the Elite Four who served under Lance a hundred years ago. Based on his current appearance, his strength must have increased by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, he would not have such a youthful look. James looked at Sky and smiled coldly, “So it’s you… What’s the meaning of this, may I ask?” Sky looked at Jame

James froze. Lance was dead? The news came as a shock to him. “Yes, he died by Tobias’ hand,” Sky said. As he said that, he exuded a terrifying aura that shattered the windows of the convoys behind him. Even the Phantom Army was sent flying and collapsed to the ground. James deflected the aura in time and prevented the convoy behind him from destruction. Staring at Sky in disbelief, a chill ran down his spine. He had never fought against Sky. He had only heard of him. Sky was a member of Lance’s Elite Four a hundred years ago. As the leader of the Elite Four, it was only because of him that Lance managed to secure his position as the King. Sky exuded a powerful aura that suppressed even James’. Slowly, he staggered backward. Although the two had yet to come to blows, it seemed that Sky’s True Energy was even greater than that of James’. This could only mean that he was more powerful than him. Since James was on the verge of ascending the Sixth Stair, this would mean Sky w
