Chapter 1601


    Maxine spoke feebly, “I-I’m alright… I have to go to headquarters and organize a meeting to announce


    the Cadens’ pullout from Orient Commerce, as well as the participation of James’ New Era Commerce.”


    “In the state you’re in?” Bet furrowed his eyebrows.


    “J-Just send a few people along…”


    “I think I should take you there personally,” Bet said.


    How would he be at ease letting Maxine go by herself with the condition she was in?


    Before Maxine headed to headquarters, James had already met up with Quincy.


    Quincy was dressed in red business attire and a pair of red high heels. Even her flowy hair was dyed


    red. She seemed to like the color.

    “James,” she greeted him sweetly as she got in the car.


    “To the Sullivans,” James ordered the driver.


    Then, he looked at Quincy and asked, “What’s the situation with New Era Commerce?”


    “Not bad,” Quincy said. “Ever since we took over the Lees’ businesses, New Era has grown by leaps and


    bounds.


    Over the period of time when you were gone, I managed to win over a few other businesses.


    However, we are still a distance away from Orient Commerce which was established a century ago.


    Besides, as I have said time and again, we need amon interest to tie businesses to us.”


    “We have found Xavion Zachary. Once I’ve persuaded the Sullivans, I’ll get my hands on the information


    Xavion has.


    By then, the brand-new technology will be the pir of New Era Commerce once we set up the Z


    network,” James said.


    “That’s great!” Quincy eximed.


    She had been worried about the matter ofmon interests. Although she worked hard to pull


    businesses into New Era Commerce, it would only be a matter of time before they left in search of


    greener pastures.


    Orient Commerce, on the other hand, was an extremely reliable business partner that was established a


    century ago.


    After the matter was resolved, Quincy was in a rather good mood.


    “By the way, how’s Thea?” Quincy asked.


    Upon hearing this, James fell silent.


    Quincy said gently, “Can has already told me that Thea doesn’t have long to live. James, I’m willing to


    wait for you.”


    James remained silent. How would he not know of her thoughts? However, there was no space for any


    other women in his heart.


    Quincy fell silent as well, and the atmosphere inside the car became awkward.


    After some time, the driver broke the awkward silence. “Emperor, we have arrived.”


    “Oh.”


    James said and got off the car with Quincy following close behind.


    After getting off the car, James looked at the manor before him.


    There were two lion statues by the gate, while guards were patrolling the area in the distance.


    “Who’s there?”


    One of the guards walked over to them.


    Upon seeing James, he greeted him respectfully.


    “So it’s the Emperor! I will inform the higher-ups of your arrival.”


    James waited patiently by the door.


    Quincy asked, “James, are you here at the Sullivans to convince them to join New Era?”


    “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “Maxine told me that she paid a few visits to the Sullivans.


    She told me that they have begun wavering and asked me to try and convince them.”
