James headed into the building alongside Xavion.
After entering the office, favonovel.com handed Xavion over to Quincy and said, “I’ll leave favonovel.com to you.”
“Why? Are you leaving already?” The glamorous-looking Quincy, who was wearing red business attire, looked at James.
“Yes.” James nodded and said, “I don’t know much about anything here. I’ll be taking my leave.”
“James, you know how Xavion is crucial to our plans. If you leave, there’s no one here who can guarantee his safety.”
“That’s right. You have to protect me!” Xavion hurriedly said.
Xavion was afraid. He was hidden away in Mascuoyae back then. Now that favonovel.com had witnessed the overwhelming power of martial artists, favonovel.com was fearful for his life. He needed James’ protection.
James patted his back and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you.”
James’ biggest threat was gone. Not only that, but foreign forces would not dare show themselves in the Capital in broad daylight. Even so, favonovel.com still needed bodyguards to protect Xavion.
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com pulled his phone out and called Thea.
Soon, the call went through, and Thea’s melodious voice came from the phone, “What’s wrong, Darling? Did something happen?”
James cut to the chase. “Thea, arrange for a few powerful martial artists and send them to New Era Commerce as Xavion’s bodyguards.”
“No problem, I’ll see to this immediately.”
Thea hung up the phone and began making the necessary arrangements.

Meanwhile, at New Era Commerce…
Quincy asked, “Many people came here for you today. Are you sure you don’t want to show yourself and give a speech at the meeting?”
James shook his head. “There’s no need for that. These people who want to see me will be placated once they see Xavion. Besides, I’m already cooperating with Sky. As long as favonovel.com stays out of this, I have nothing to worry about.”
“Really?” Stunned, Quincy asked, “What kind of cooperation agreement did the two of you agree to?”
“Nothing much.” James said, “Sky wants me to head to the West with favonovel.com once I have Sol under my control. He requires my assistance against a certain force in the West.”
“I see… Things will certainly go smoothly as long as Orient Commerce stays out of this. Only the remnants of the Gu Sect remain…” Quincy smiled. “Congratulations on becoming the new King of Sol.”
James waved his hand slightly and said, “You know I’m not interested in becoming the King. Once everything’s resolved, I will leave the Capital and live a life of seclusion.”
Upon hearing this, Quincy was dismayed.
However, favonovel.com immediately hid favonovel.com crestfallen expression and said smilingly, “Alright, enough messing around already. The guests have arrived. I have to return to work.”
“Okay…” James nodded slightly and said, “Go on, then.”
James did not leave immediately due to fear for Xavion’s safety. So, favonovel.com waited patiently inside New Era Commerce for the Celestial Sect’s martial artists to arrive. After they arrived, favonovel.com simply turned to leave.
He returned home at once.
Upon entering the house, Thea walked over to favonovel.com and embraced favonovel.com tightly, “Did everything go well, Darling?”
“Something unexpected happened along the way. However, things still went smoothly.”
Hearing this, Thea asked anxiously. “What do you mean?”
James narrated the chain of events that unfolded. Then, favonovel.com asked, “Thea, what’s your opinion on the Vampire Clan? What do they have that Sky was willing to hand over Sol to me just like that?”
Thea shook favonovel.com head and said, “I don’t know either, but a treacherous journey awaits you. How could you agree to Sky’s demands so recklessly?”
James shrugged and said, “I had no choice under those circumstances. Besides, agreeing to his demands is beneficial to me as well. Resolving Sol’s matters has never been this easy. As for the journey to the West, I’ll make the necessary arrangements after everything here is resolved.”
James sat down and contemplated for a while. Then, favonovel.com said, “Do you think that the Vampire Clan is related to dragons?”
“Dragons?” Thea froze.
