Chapter 1605


    Although there were many legends surrounding Jamestely, the King had no idea just how strong he


    currently was.


    James smiled and said, “I have reached the Sixth Stair. Bing a ninth-rank grandmaster is just a


    matter of time.”


    Upon hearing this, Gloom, who was behind the King, eximed, “What? The Sixth Stair?”


    Since he was a martial artist, he knew exactly what those words meant.


    By reaching the Sixth Stair, one would have surpassed many powerful figures in the past thousand


    years.


    He could not believe his ears. He found it hard to believe that James, an ordinary man, could be


    such a terrifying existence in such a short period of time.


    This was unbelievable. How on earth did he cultivate?


    James smiled and said, “Can you leave this to me now?”


    “Yes.” After thinking for a moment, the King said, “I’ll be abdicating soon, but I still have a family to feed. I


    only ask that you offer me some benefits once you be the new King.”


    “Sure.” James smiled and said, “That’s not a big deal. However, there won’t be a second Orient


    Commerce in the future. New Era will be a fair and just chamber ofmerce where everyone can thrive


    if they work hard.”

    Upon hearing this, the King smiled. “But of course.”


    As he said that, he turned to look at Gloom and ordered, “Follow James to Mascuoyae and bring Xavion


    back.”


    “Understood.” Gloom nodded.


    James stood up and said, “I have to bring Xavion back in three days. Let us make haste and depart at


    once.”


    The King waved slightly and said, “Get going then.”


    James turned to leave, while Gloom followed close behind.


    After they left, the smile on the King’s face froze. His face darkened, and he silently muttered under his


    breath, “The Sixth Stair… How terrifying… How did he manage to cultivate to such a level?”


    Outside…


    Gloom asked, “James, have you really ascended the Sixth Stair?”


    James smiled and said, “Well, not really. I’m still a step away from ascending it.”


    “How did you cultivate?”


    James did not answer his question. On his road of cultivation, he hade across too many


    indescribable experiences.


    Instead, he changed the subject, “Xavion is in Mascuoyae?”


    “Mhm”


    Gloom nodded and said, “Before the incident at Blue Tech Corporation, the King had secretly arranged


    for Xavion to be sent away. Based on the King’s initial ns, he nned to eradicate all the ancient


    martial artists in the Mount Thunder Sect before moving on to his next n. However, you came out of


    nowhere


    and decided to save them. You’re the cause for all the trouble we’re experiencing.”


    James smiled and said, “However, the matter has been resolved.


    Now that Lucjan of the Gu Sect is dead, they are now leaderless. Only Orient Commerce stands in our


    way.


    “Meanwhile, Orient Commerce will soon fall. The old era ising to an end.”


    Gloom sighed. “Let us hope that nothing unexpected happens.”


    James gave his assurances. “Don’t worry, everything will go just as nned.”


    Gloom nodded. “I hope so… Alright, it’s time to move out.”


    After leaving Peace Mansion, they headed to the military region and boarded a ne headed to


    Mascuoyae.


    Soon, they arrived.


    Xavion was residing in a vi in a small town in Mascuoyae. All this while, he could not even leave


    through the front door. He had no idea what was going on outside since he did not have a phone. That


    was because he was currently under house arrest.
