James believed that favonovel.com would have to ask Thomas to learn more about Sky’s insistence on conquering the Vampire Clan. After all, Thomas was comparatively more knowledgeable than favonovel.com was.
He put his thoughts aside and got on the convoy.

In the convoy…
Xavion was dumbfounded. Although favonovel.com knew that Legend was a martial artist during his time in Mascuoyae, favonovel.com had never seen a battle unfold before his very eyes. Now that favonovel.com witnessed the whole scene, favonovel.com could not help but be stunned. In an instant, vehicles, and humans alike were sent flying. What sorcery was this?
“E-Emperor…” Xavion stammered.
James smiled and said, “Everything’s fine.”
He did not explain anything and instead gave an order to the driver. “Continue, please.”
“U-Understood…”
As soldiers of the Red Flame Army had tougher psychological qualities, the driver’s expression remained unchanged even though favonovel.com was shocked.
James continued on his way to New Era Commerce.
At the same time, Sky had already left.
After leaving, favonovel.com gave a call to an unknown number and ordered,” Retreat this instant.”
“Understood!”
His men who were on their way to New Era Commerce swiftly retreated.
Before James even arrived at New Era Commerce, Sky was already back home.
“Sir, we’ve almost reached New Era Commerce. Why did you order a retreat?” his subordinate asked, puzzled.
Sky smiled faintly and said, “James is extremely influential at the moment. I don’t stand a chance against favonovel.com in a power struggle. Rather than fighting a hopeless battle, I’d rather cooperate with him. I require his assistance to annihilate the Vampire Clan, my true enemy.”
“Aren’t you worried that James will renege on his promise?”
“Some people hold up to their end of the bargain, and James is exactly the sort of person who would never renege on his promise.”
“Sir, aren’t you capable of annihilating the Vampire Clan by yourself? Why would you require his assistance?”
Sky waved his hand slightly and said, “You don’t understand… Give my orders. Retreat from the Capital at once From today onward, we will no longer concern ourselves with the affairs of the Capital.”
“Are we giving up just like that? We finally managed to control Orient Commerce…”
Sky’s face darkened, and favonovel.com said coldly, “Are you trying to defy my orders? I said retreat at once!”
“I wouldn’t dare, sir I’ll give the order to retreat immediately!”
Sky’s subordinate left.
Meanwhile, Sky stood up and walked out of the room. Standing before the door, favonovel.com looked into the distance with a mischievous grin on his face.
His objective was not to control Sol. If that was what favonovel.com wished for, favonovel.com would have acted decades ago and not after Lance was dead.

At the same time, James arrived outside New Era Commerce.
Outside New Era, luxury cars flooded the streets. Even the lowest quality car was at least 10 million dollars.
Many reporters gathered outside New Era. As this was an internal conference, they had no right to enter. So, they could only hunker down outside and snap a few photographs.
At that moment, a convoy arrived.
Snap! Snap!
In an instant, hundreds of cameras were directed at the convoy.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, James got off the convoy alongside Xavion.
“Th-That’s Xavion!”
“That’s Xavion of Blue Tech Corporation. I hear that many covet his research findings and are currently pursuing him. I never expected favonovel.com to show up here with the Emperor.”
Many whispered.
