“Okay.” Scarlett nodded obediently.
Then, favonovel.com asked, “By the way, have you found Quincy? I’m swamped with the company’s affairs. If favonovel.com doesn’t come back to head the overall situation, I’m afraid it might be too much for me to handle alone.”
Scarlett had no confidence that favonovel.com could handle the situation properly.
Business was not favonovel.com strong suit, and it was starting to be too much for favonovel.com to manage.
Hearing this, James knit his brows as a complicated expression flickered over his face.
After a momentary silence, favonovel.com replied, “I’ll try my best to find her.”
Thea was the only clue favonovel.com had to find Quincy. If favonovel.com was correct, Thea knew Quincy’s whereabouts but refused to tell favonovel.com because favonovel.com was worried about favonovel.com looking at another woman.
“Are there any other things you need me to handle? If not, I’ll go ahead and hold the meeting first.”
“No, it’s fine. You may leave…” James waved favonovel.com away.
Suddenly, favonovel.com remembered something and stopped her.
“Wait! Don’t hold the meeting just yet. I suspect that Centennial Corporation has planted a mole in our company. We can’t expose our plan to them yet. Otherwise, we’ll be stuck having to defend against their attacks. Give me a list of the company’s upper management employees. I’ll get someone to look into their backgrounds. After confirming everyone’s clean, only then will we proceed with our plan.”
“Alright. I’ll immediately arrange for someone to print out the list.”
Scarlett hurried off to carry out his orders.
James did not leave instantly but remained inside the office. He was extremely concerned about money.
James thought for a long time and the only person favonovel.com could think of that possibly had the money and would be willing to help favonovel.com was Zane Dawn.
After a brief hesitation, favonovel.com took out his phone and called Zane.
“Is something the matter, James?”
“M-Mr. Dawn, I… I would like to borrow some more money from you,” James swallowed his pride and asked reservedly.
The voice on the other end of the phone went silent for a few seconds.
Moments later, Zane asked, “How much do you need this time?”
“As much as you’re able to spare.”
“James, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I’ve already given you all the cash I have on hand. I don’t have much left to give you. The most I can manage is ten billion dollars. Any more and I’ll have to resort to selling my property. It’ll take time for me to gather the amount that you need.”
“Forget it, then… I’ll come up with something else.” James hung up the phone despondently.
He understood that it was not an easy thing to ask Zane. A huge corporation like his would require a huge flow of funds. Even if Zane gave favonovel.com the last ten billion, favonovel.com could face bankruptcy.
“Money… Where in the world can I get money from?” James anxiously paced back and forth in the office.
He thought about returning to the Southern Plains to get some money. However, after going through the public trial last time, favonovel.com had to tread more cautiously and did not want to resort to any illegal means.
“Hold on, how could I forget about him?!” James suddenly sprang up and exclaimed.
A certain someone appeared in his mind.
Blake!
Dark Castle’s founder, the Assassin King, Blake!
Before the Black Snake died, favonovel.com had mentioned that Blake had hidden his life’s fortune and treasures. His wealth was rumored to be comparable to an entire country’s. James’ problems would be solved if favonovel.com could acquire Blake’s wealth.
He quickly took out his phone and called Blake.
“Haha! My brother, James! You’ve finally called. I thought you forgot about me!” Blake laughed heartily through the phone.
James chuckled at his cheerful response and asked, “Bro, where are you right now? Are you in Cansington?”
“Nope…”
“Come to Cansington immediately. I have something important to discuss with you.”
“Sure, no problem.” Blake agreed without any hesitation.
Although Blake had reached the peak of External Martial Arts, favonovel.com did not have an Internal Martial Art cultivation method to cultivate True Energy. As such, James was his only hope of becoming a grandmaster.
A few moments later, Scarlett returned to the office with a list.
James immediately sent it to Jay.
“Jay, use your intelligence network to investigate these people’s backgrounds. I need to know if they’re clean.”
