“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

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

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

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 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
