Chapter 1600
Now that Lucjan was dead, this was the perfect opportunity to make a move against the Gu Sect.
“I''ll discuss the specifics with Maxine before formting a n,” James looked at Thea and said.
Although Thea might be displeased upon hearing him bringing up Maxine, Maxine was now in control of the Cadens and
possessed great authority in the Capital and even in Orient Commerce. James knew nothing about the situation in the Capital.
So, he had to be fully prepared for everything.
“Get going, then.”
Thea said smilingly, “You know, Maxine’s a pretty nice girl. You should better acquaint yourself with her.”
James looked at Thea. At that moment, he could not understand what she was trying to say.
Thea stood up and adjusted James’ shirt before saying with a serious look on her face, “With my condition, | won''t live for long.
After I’m gone, you''ll need someone by your side...”
Then, she fell silent. She knew that James would understand what she was hinting at.
James did not say anything and instead held her in his embrace.
“Go on. You have more important matters to attend to. Two monthster, we''ll leave the Capital together.”
As she said that, she pushed James away. Silent, James turned to leave.
After leaving, James could not help but feel mncholic. Thea had undergone so many tribtions along the way. He could not
let her down.
Then, he headed to the Cadens’ residence.
Maxine was in a much better condition now. Although she was still feeble, her injuries were no longer life-threatening.
“James...”
Upon seeing James, she tried to get up.
James hurriedly walked over to her and stopped her. “You''re still recovering. You should rest well for now. I’m here today to ask
you a few questions.”
“I''ll be taking my leave, then.”
Bet turned to leave. He had been taking care of Maxine while James was not around. Now that James had returned, his job
was done.
After Bet left, Maxine asked, “What do you want to know?”
James asked, “What’s the situation of themercial world in the Capital?”
Maxine said, “It’s somewhatplicated. The interest of Orient Commerce is tied to the interests of many. This includes the
Ancient Four and many other families established a century ago, like the Tucksons.
“Upon establishing New Era Commerce, Quincy immediately received the support of the Dawns of the North. With their support,
many other businesses began flocking over to our side. Then, after she took over the Lees’ businesses, New Era grew further in

“However, this is far from enough. We stillck amon interest with the other businesses of New Era Commerce to tie them
together with us. Besides, even if we do, we still won''t be able to fight against Orient Commerce.”
As she said that, she looked at James and asked, “Why? Are you going to make a move soon?”
“Mhm.”
James nodded and said, “Now that
Lucjan of the Gu seis Tabias \\
pei Pinter rmy, are |
dead, this is the perfect opportunity
to strike.” Please read the original

After brief contemtion, Maxine
said, “I''ve paid many visits to the
Sullivans. After the yants that’
unigldedttately, heir resolve could
have begun wavering. However, you
still have to go there and meet Zaiden
Sullivan, Patriarch of the Sullivans,
personally. Please read the original

“Meanwhile, the Cadens can leave Orient Commerce anytime and join New Era Commerce.
“Once the Sullivans join our side, New
Era will further aya sizeByl\

Maxine offered James her advice. Before making a move, he should bolster New Era Commerce''s strength to intimidate Orient
Commerce.
“Mhm.”
After discussion, James nodded and said, “I''ll bring Quincy along to the Sullivans’.”
As he said that, he stood up and left.
After he left, he gave Quincy a call.
Meanwhile, Maxine got up with great difficulty. Just as she got up, Bet walked in and said, “What are you doing, Maxine?
You should rest well.”
