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

James believed that he would have to ask Thomas to learn more about Sky’s insistence on conquering the Vampire Clan. After all, Thomas was comparatively more knowledgeable than he was. He put his thoughts aside and got on the convoy. In the convoy… Xavion was dumbfounded. Although he knew that Legend was a martial artist during his time in Mascuoyae, he had never seen a battle unfold before his very eyes. Now that he witnessed the whole scene, he could not help but be stunned. In an instant, vehicles, and humans alike were sent flying. What sorcery was this? “E-Emperor…” Xavion stammered. James smiled and said, “Everything’s fine.” He did not explain anything and instead gave an order to the driver. “Continue, please.” “Understood.” As soldiers of the Red Flame Army had tougher psychological qualities, the driver’s expression remained unchanged even though he was shocked. James continued on his way to New Era Commerce. At the same time, Sky had already left. After lea

James headed into the building alongside Xavion. After entering the office, he handed Xavion over to Quincy and said, “I’ll leave him to you.” “Why? Are you leaving already?” The glamorous-looking Quincy, who was wearing red business attire, looked at James. “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “I don’t know much about anything here. I’ll be taking my leave.” “James, you know how Xavion is crucial to our plans. If you leave, there’s no one here who can guarantee his safety.” “That’s right. You have to protect me!” Xavion hurriedly said. Xavion was afraid. He was hidden away in Mascuoyae back then. Now that he had witnessed the overwhelming power of martial artists, he was fearful for his life. He needed James’ protection. James patted his back and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you.” James’ biggest threat was gone. Not only that, but foreign forces would not dare show themselves in the Capital in broad daylight. Even so, James still needed bodyguards to

Not many had heard of dragons, and James only learned of their existence from Thomas. As the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader, even Thea had never heard of them. After all, this happened close to 1300 years ago. Not to mention there was a void in the history pages. Even within Sol, only a select few had information about the matter. Thea looked at James puzzledly and asked, “What dragons?” James narrated about dragons to her. “Meanwhile, the Vampire Clan’s Grand Patriarch─a Dragon Slayer─ was contaminated by dragon blood while he was slaying the dragon. This gave rise to the Vampire Clan of today.” As he said that, he looked at Thea. “Thea, Callan said that only by performing an exchange transfusion can you be saved. However, ordinary blood won’t do the trick. The opposite, I think, is true for dragon blood. That’s the main reason why I accepted Sky’s demands. The Vampire Clan is only closely related to one thing─dragons. I agreed to Sky’s conditions because I wanted to learn mor

Thea was curious to see who was stronger ─ Her or James? James, on the other hand, had no interest in competing whatsoever. “Of course you’re going to be the stronger one. You’re the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader!” James said smilingly. “Boring…” Thea was instantly disinterested. As they ascended the mountain, they happily chit-chatted away. Soon, they arrived at the gates of Divine Sword Villa. As many invitation letters were sent, Divine Sword Villa was crowded with people outside. Meanwhile, Divine Sword Villa’s disciples were inspecting the letters. Only those with a valid invitation letter would be allowed passage. Upon arriving, James and Thea immediately became the star of the show. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on them, especially Thea. Wearing a black dress, her delicate figure, her curvaceous figure, and her long silver hair, only accentuated her beauty. “Thea Callahan, Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect…” “James Caden…” “I didn’t expect them to be here. If they
