James read through the messages. He rested his fingers on his nose pensively.
Thea had not discussed the name change with favonovel.com and only informed favonovel.com about it in the morning. Yet, here favonovel.com was asking for the opinion of Mr. Caden of the Majestic Corporation.
Despite the two having a happy marriage at home, treating each other with respect, and living harmoniously, Thea had never told favonovel.com about anything regarding work.
James casually threw the phone on the table.
Newton stood aside and inquired, “Will you be going, Mr. Caden? You’ve resigned as the Black Dragon, but everyone already knows your identity as the chairman of Majestic Corporation. It’s also public knowledge that you’re the person helping Thea from behind the scenes. Not to mention the rumors about you…”
Newton hesitated.
“Go ahead if you’ve got something to say,” snapped James.
Newton hesitated for a moment before explaining himself, “Various companies have been putting pressure on the Majestic Corporation in the past few days. I’ve even received news that the Great Four are no longer afraid of you since you’ve resigned and they are in the midst of planning for a forceful takeover of the corporation…”
“Oh, is that so?” James squinted his eyes in irritation.
Do the Great Four think they can get away with this just because favonovel.com resigned?
Newton nodded and continued hesitantly, “Also, I’ve one more thing to tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
“I’ve heard rumors that several big families in the Capital have united in order to build a new city outside of Cansington. They are planning to create a new city that will surpass Transgenerational New City,” said Newton.
“Several big families want to build a new city?” James furrowed his brows.
“Yes, this information was released after your resignation. Rumors are that each major family will be investing five hundred billion, and they will have a capital of two trillion dollars to build a new city within the shortest possible timeframe. Their purpose is to exceed the Transgenerational New City.”
“Which families are involved?” asked James in a steely tone.
“I don’t know yet. There has been no further news on any specifics of this plan.” Newton shook his head.
James tapped his fingers on the table lightly.
So many things happened as soon as favonovel.com resigned. It seemed that many forces were mobilizing in Cansington. Surprisingly favonovel.com was not concerned.
The more chaotic things got, the better.
It would be best for all those influential and prominent figures to show themselves…
It was the perfect bait to draw out all the prominent and influential people behind the scenes.
“Prepare the car. We’re going to attend the opening ceremony of Thea’s Century Group.”
“Alright.”
Newton immediately made preparations.

Concurrently, at the Callahans.
All the Callahan members were gathering.
Tommy glanced at Lex smoking his tobacco and asked, “Grandpa, should we go to Century Group?”
Lex remained silent.
Howard immediately butted in. “Dad, the Black Dragon has resigned, and as a result, Thea now has no benefactor. Now that favonovel.com has resigned, people will definitely seek favonovel.com out for vengeance. We shouldn’t get involved in this mess.”
Tommy nodded in agreement, “That’s right. Thea had offended plenty of huge families in the past. Three of the Great Four have more power than the Majestic Corporation. Any one of them could easily get rid of his Majestic Corporation and completely annihilate the Cadens once and for all.”
Lex continued to smoke his tobacco and inquired languidly, “How is the collaboration between Longevity Pharmaceuticals and Celestial Group?”
John, the current person in charge of Eternality, replied, “The partnership originally ran smoothly. However, as of late, the two of them are seemingly trying to distance themselves from Eternality. Our current stock should last a few months, but the two major clients are no longer fulfilling any more orders.”
“These major corporations think that the Black Dragon has lost his power after his resignation,” Lex murmured.
“Even so, we’ll still have to go. After all, Thea is a Callahan. Even if we can’t curry favor with other major groups, we can still rely on favonovel.com relationships with the Majestic Corporation to help Eternality…” said Lex.
Tommy then posed a question, “Grandpa, I heard Thea invited many influential people. Since the Black Dragon has resigned, would these people still come to the establishment ceremony in respect to him?”
“We’ll find out when we get there. Cansington is slowly descending into further chaos. We’ll have to seize the opportunity and choose our side carefully. The right people will help us rise to the top. If we choose wrongly, we’ll be done for,” said Lex
