Chapter 1339


    “I really didn’t know,” said Thea while also smiling, “Quincy and I were best friends at the time, but I had


    no idea she had a boyfriend.”


    “Ahem!”


    James let out a few dry coughs. He did not expect them to talk about him, much less being so upbeat


    and lighthearted while doing so. This was not quite like the Thea he was used to.


    He quickly changed the subject. “Alright, let''s stop gossiping. I just received some news today.”


    James began to speak, repeating everything Halvor had said. Then, he recounted the King’s words in


    detail.


    “This is the current situation of the Capital. The root of everything is Orient Commerce, and the


    circumstances surrounding Orient Commerce are extremelyplicated. This involved arge number


    of people and consortia. Even the Ancient Four led by the Cadens and some ancient martial artists, as


    well as the President, Lance.”


    “It’s soplicated?” Thea was also taken aback when she heard this.


    Quincy furrowed her brows and said, “This is far tooplicated. The King from a century ago, the


    Ancient Four led by the Cadens, some high-ranking officials over the past century and a few consortia.


    Trying to clean this up is too difficult. It would be the same as removing all of these people, but


    removing them would cause chaos in the Capital and Sol.”


    “That’s right.”


    James said with a face filled with worry, “That’s something I’m concerned about as well. Besides, I think


    the current King is unreliable. He, too, uses his privileges to coborate with some families and


    consortia. The Tuckson family was responsible for starting the recent incident with Blue Tech


    Corporation, but it involved not only the Tucksons'' profit, but also the King''s.”


    James was rubbing his temple.


    The situation was extremelyplex. Trying to find a solution to this would be a bit tricky.


    Thea asked, “What are your ns now? How will you start?”


    James shook his head softly. “It''s simply impossible to start taking action. Once you strike one of them,


    they’ll all be affected. There will be no stopping once it begins. We must be thoroughly prepared.”


    Thea thought for a moment and said, “Let’s call Maxine over to discuss this. She’s the head of the


    Caden family. She’s definitely heard of Orient Commerce and knows a lot about it.”


    James took a nce at Thea.


    In the morning, Thea was still sulking. Now, she was actively inviting Maxine over.


    “I’m going to call her.” Thea could tell what was going through James'' mind by the hesitation on his


    face. She immediately took out her phone and called Maxine.


    During the call, she gave a brief exnation of the situation.


    “Alright. I''ll be there right away.” After learning about the incident, Maxine dropped what she was doing


    and immediately rushed over to Thea''s residence.


    James, Thea, and Quincy, on the other hand, continued their conversation and analyzed the situation.


    They were analyzing the problems that could arise once they began to take action, as well as how they


    nned to resolve these problems.


    Maxine arrived rather quickly.


    In less than an hour, she appeared at Thea’s residence.

    She entered the house and sat down.


    James felt a little awkward when Maxine rushed over.


    However, Maxine and Thea started chatting right away as if nothing had happened.


    Thea took the initiative and asked, “Maxine, what do you think we should do next?”


    She did not bother to learn about it either.


    James did not understand anything about this.


    If you let him lead an army into battle and seize control of a city, he would excel. Making him present


    business strategies and ideas, on the other hand, would leave himpletely clueless.
