Chapter 1499


    “James...”N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Upon seeing James, Delh greeted him sweetly and asked, “What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?”


    “A ss of water, please.”


    James took a seat.


    Maxine simply cut to the chase and said, “Just a moment ago, Yasmine Lee, family head of the Lees, came looking for me. She


    told me that the Lee family intends to sell all of their businesses to the Cadens. Also, they n to leave the Capital and find a


    secluded spot to live off the remainder of their lives.”


    James asked puzzledly, “What? They’re going into seclusion at such a time?”


    Maxine said, “I think they’re afraid of getting involved in the power struggle. They’re a big family with hundreds of members, after


    all. If they chose the wrong side, the consequences would be disastrous. They might even be annihted. That''s why they n to


    leave the Capital.”


    James asked, “What kind of businesses do the Lees have?”


    Maxine said, “Though | don’t know the specifics, | heard that the Lees have amercial bank and many other businesses.


    Their total assets should amount to five trillion dors in value, and their annual profits are approximately three hundred billion


    dors.”


    “Are they selling them in a bundle?”


    “Yes, that’s what Yasmine told me.” Maxine straightened her back and looked James in the eye. “James, | know you''re currently


    trying to establish a Chamber of Commerce. It would greatly benefit you to control the Lees’ businesses. When that happens,


    manypanies and conglomerates will willingly submit to you.”


    James sighed and said, “But, where would | get the money to buy their businesses?”


    Maxine thought hard about it and said, “Sometimes, money isn’t the only currency. Anything is negotiable. You can simply


    exchange them for something equal in value. As the Lees are an ancient martial family, money is insignificant to them. For them,


    martial arts and secret manuals are what''s important.”


    Asmile crept up on James’ face, and he said, “Sure. I''d like to meet the family head of the Lees in person. Help me make the


    necessary arrangements.”


    “Got it.”


    Maxine nodded. Then, she pulled her phone out and called Yasmine. She ryed everything to her.


    Soon, they set up a time and ce.


    “James, you''ll meet her at 8 p.m. in the Lees’ residence.”


    James looked at the time. It was already 6 p.m.


    He immediately pulled his phone out and called Quincy.


    “Are you free, Quincy?”


    “I''m currently at a business auction.”


    “Return immediately and head to the Lees’ residence with me. We have big businessing our way.”


    “Sure.”


    Quincy immediately agreed.
