Chapter 1617
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
telmunicationspany with an upfront investment of approximately one trillion dors. Once the
research yields results, I will receive an additional ten trillion dors in funds. We will soon begin
establishing Zwork cell towers all across Sol. I estimate that the Zwork signal will have national
coverage within five years.
“In ten years, I will expand the Zwork to epass 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 Zwork after we provide you with sufficient capital and the world’s best scientists?”
Xavion said, “The Zwork is just a general term that is divided into many stages. If it’s
telmunications technology you’re talking about, I have alreadypletely mastered them. In fact,
we can begin construction of the cell towers anytime.
“However, the Zwork is connected to many other fields that involve virtual technology. I still need
time to digitalize everything. I wouldn’t dare make guarantees, but there should be some preliminary
research findings within ten years.”
This was simply tooplicated for someone like James who only had a high school diploma. He only
understood that everyone could stand to gain from Xavion’s technology. All he needed to do was to
ensure the Zwork’s national coverage in Sol. As for the rest, he would leave everything to Xavion,
Quincy, and the others.
“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to New Era’s first Annual General Meeting.”
At that moment, in a courtyard in the Capital.
This was where Sky resided.
Sky had also received the invitation letter from Divine Sword Vi. However, his time was limited. A
storm was brewing on the horizon in the Capital, and he could not leave..
“Sir, the situation is turning from bad to worse. James’ First Era Commerce’s first Annual General
Meeting will be held today. Besides, there are rumors that he has already found Xavion and is nning
to bring. him to the AGM.
“Not only that, there are rumors from within New Era Commerce that James is nning to establish a
new telmunicationspany. Every member of New Era will each have a slice of the pie. If they
seed, the consequences would be disastrous to Orient Commerce.”
Sky’s expression darkened as he listened intently.
“James… Give him an inch and he’ll ask for a mile. I should have taken action against him a long time
ago.”
“Sir, Xavion is currently at the Cadens’ residence. In my opinion, we should head over there
immediately and abduct Xavion. Without him, James cannot proceed with his n.”
Sky stood up and ordered, “I’ll head over to the Cadens’ residence personally and stop James from
leaving. You, on the other hand, should mobilize the Phantom Army and arrest everyone at New Era
Commerce for uwful assembly. We’ll keep them temporarily locked up for now.”

“Understood.”
Sky’s subordinates immediately turned to leave.
At the same time, James was heading to New Era Commerce along with Xavion. As James departed
from the suburbs, he needed to travel for two hours.
In the car…
James shut his eyes and meditated. Meanwhile, Xavion was a little nervous. He had been waiting for
this. day toe for decades. Finally, his wish was about toe true.
Screech!
The driver of the convoy mmed on the brakes.
James lunged forward and Xavion almost smashed against the front window. Fortunately, James
managed to grab him in time.
“What happened?” James questioned.
“Emperor, someone’s in the way.”
Some vehicles and fully-armed soldiers were blocking their path. Upon seeing their attire, James
furrowed his eyebrows, “The Phantom Army?”
He was puzzled.
Tobias, the Leader of the Phantom Army, was dead. Why would the Phantom Army emerge now?
“What’s wrong?” Xavion asked anxiously.
James nced at him and said, “Everything’s fine. Just stay put in here. I’ll go have a look.”
As he said that, he opened the door and leaped off the convoy.
