James stood up and said smilingly, “I’ll be taking my leave. Call me if there’s anything.”
Callan stood up and sent James off.
After James left Callan’s residence, favonovel.com headed straight to the Cadens‘ residence.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived at the gates of the Cadens.
Upon seeing James, the guards froze before recollecting themselves and greeted favonovel.com respectfully,” Emperor!”
Back then, the Cadens, including the servants, guards, and others, looked down on James. Ever since the Mount Thunder Conference, James‘ name and prestige had spread far and wide in the ancient martial world. No one dared dismiss favonovel.com as an insignificant nobody anymore.
“Is Maxine here?”
“The family head is currently outside…”
“Alright then, I’ll wait inside.”
James walked straight into the Cadens‘ courtyard. At the same time, favonovel.com pulled his phone out and called Maxine.
At that moment, Maxine was at a business conference in the Capital.
Seeing that James called her, favonovel.com smiled brightly and answered the call, “Hello, James!”
“Congratulations on becoming the family head, Maxine,” James said while smiling.
“It’s all thanks to the Grand Patriarch.” Maxine smiled sweetly.
Then, favonovel.com asked, “Have you left closed- door meditation?”
“Yes, I’m now at the Cadens‘ household in the Capital. I have something I wish to discuss with you.”
“Alright, I’ll return at once.”
Hearing that James was in the Cadens‘ household in the Capital, Maxine left the business conference immediately and returned home.
In just half an hour, Maxine was back. She was wearing a black overcoat and a white tight sweater inside. Her long hair was tied up which revealed favonovel.com forehead.
Upon seeing Maxine, James froze.
Although Maxine was always intelligent and shrewd, favonovel.com gave favonovel.com the impression of a pitiful figure. Now, favonovel.com exuded the charisma of a queen.
“James…” A smile crept up on Maxine’s face.
“Maxine,” James nodded.
Maxine walked over to favonovel.com and took a seat. A servant immediately served them tea.
Looking at James, Maxine asked, “James, have your injuries recovered?”
“Yes, they have.” James nodded and said, “Maxine, I have something I wish to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
James asked, “How are the businesses of the Cadens doing in the outside world?”
He knew little about the business dealings of the Cadens with the outside world. He only heard that the Ancient Four was insanely rich.
“They are doing fine, I guess,” Maxine said. “The Cadens are effectively a mega-conglomerate. We have many subsidiary companies involved in all sectors of society.”
Upon hearing this, James was relieved.
He said, “Next, I plan to make a move against some powerful figures and families of Sol. Many businesses will have to close down. I don’t want the national economy to be affected by this. And so, I need someone to properly deal with the situation. The Cadens are the only ones that came to mind. As the family head of the Cadens, it’s only natural that I consult with you.”
“Sure thing!” Maxine flashed a bright smile.
After becoming the family head, favonovel.com had announced that the Cadens would now be involved with the outside world.
She recollected herself. She knew that James‘ future actions would implicate many rich and powerful people. The Cadens alone would not be able to deal with the situation effectively.
“James, although the Cadens are formidable, I don’t think we can completely stabilize the situation. We have to work with conglomerates with a clean background. Otherwise, should something unexpected happen during the implementation, all hell will break loose. Many people will be unemployed and shouldered with heavy debts. I think we should review the situation calmly and refrain from acting recklessly.”
“What’s your opinion on the matter?” James asked.
