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, Thea told him about Lex’s trip to the Capital.
“You see… New Era Commerce has become one of the most influential chambers of commerce in Sol after the Cadens and the Sullivans announced their withdrawal from Orient Commerce.
Believing that the family could stand to gain from this, Grandpa brought the Callahans here to the Capital to join New Era.
In fact, they plan to participate in the meeting that will be held soon. But…”
“But what?” James asked.
Thea continued, “New Era Commerce has very high standards for businesses that wish to join.
You need to possess a certain amount of assets and powerful connections.
Although the Callahans have been developing well recently, they are still unqualified to join New Era Commerce. C-Can you think of a way to let them join?”
Upon hearing this, James fell silent.
He hated using interpersonal relationships to advance one’s interests.
Under normal circumstances, he would have rejected Thea’s plea since he was in a rather precarious position at the moment.
If word spread of his partiality, his reputation would be tarnished.
However, he was concerned about Thea, who was in a rather grave situation. He did not wish to aggravate her.
“I’ll think of something.”
In the end, he made a compromise.
“Thank you.” Thea spoke softly.
“I’ll be taking my leave.”
James wore his jacket and turned to leave. Then, he gave Quincy a call.
Quincy was currently at New Era’s headquarters.
New Era was both a chamber of commerce and a conglomerate. Quincy, meanwhile, was the person in charge.
Located in the central region of the most prosperous parts of the Capital, New Era Commerce was surrounded by skyscrapers on all sides.
Many MNCs established their headquarters here.
New Era Commerce’s headquarters was a building eighty stories tall. As it was only recently established, there was not much to do.
Now, their current priority was to investigate businesses and win them over, making them another member of New Era.
Upon his arrival, James was immediately recognized by the security guards.
They greeted him respectfully, “W-Welcome, Emperor.”
James was a renowned figure in the Capital. Besides, rumors on the street were that he would be the next King and the future leader of Sol.
