Chapter 1609


    Although he could not interact with the outside world without a phone, he had aputer that he used to check the news.


    Besides, Legend would asionally talk to him about the events that took ce in the world.


    He looked at James and asked, “Are you here on behalf of the nation or you as an individual?”


    “The nation.” James looked him in the eye and said, “If not for Sol, I’d have no interest in the technology in your hands


    whatsoever.”


    Xavion asked, “How do you n to cooperate?”


    James said, “You''re both a scientist and a businessman, so you shouldn’t know much about the situation in the Capital. How


    about | tell you more about it?”


    James narrated the chain of events that unfolded—starting from Orient Commerce, which was established a century ago, to the


    current convoluted web of rtionships.


    After that, he reiterated once more, “I established New Era Commerce to fight against Orient Commerce. Now, though it has


    reached a ratherrge scale, we need amon interest to tie everyone together.”


    “What does that have to do with me?” Xavion looked at James.


    James said, “I need the technology you have. Feel free to speak up if there’s anything you need.”


    After thinking for a moment, Xavion said, “How about this? The chamber ofmerce will be responsible for securing the funds.


    Meanwhile, | will provide you with the technology in exchange for fifty percent of thepany’s shares.”


    “No way.” James shook his head.


    Although he knew little about business management, he knew what 50% of thepany’s shares entailed.


    There were too many businesses in New Era Commerce. Besides, a huge amount of funds would be needed to continue


    research. This was the dawn of amunications technological breakthrough. If they seeded, they would stand to profit


    immensely from this. So, he had to ensure that every member business in New Era would gain something from their cooperation.


    If Xavion alone controlled 50% of the shares, what would the others stand to gain?


    “What can you offer me then?” Xavion looked at James.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    After some contemtion, James said, “How about this? We will establish a brand-new telmunicationspany to which


    you will be entitled to five percent of its shares. Besides, there will be no need for you to spend a single cent on your future


    research. Not only that, but | can also promise you that you will hold five percent of thepany’s shares no matter how much


    the situation changes.”


    Xavion shook his head and said, “Five percent is too little, James. Do you know what the technology in my hands is capable of? |


    can earn a fortune by cooperating with anyone.”


    James smiled faintly and said, “I am the best cooperation partner there is. By cooperating with anyone else, | assure you that


    your interests would only be trampled upon. Your wife is already dead, and | went to great lengths to save your daughter. Do you


    wish to be confined here for the rest of your life?”


    He stood up and continued, “Reflect on what | said, Xavion. If you agree to cooperate with me, return to Sol at once. If not, |


    won''t concern myself with your affairs ever again.”


    Upon hearing this, Xavion was lost in thought. After some time, he spoke, “It''s a deal, then.”


    He had thought long and hard about this. Only by cooperating with Sol could he further his research and have the Zwork


    poprized. Entering into a partnership with a conglomerate would not guarantee him the widespread poprity of the Z


    network all across Sol and even the world. Besides, although he had made a research breakthrough, he was still quite a ways


    from seeding. Furthering his research required a huge fortune that no business could afford to pay.


    “Sure.” Hearing this, James smiled and said, “Pack your bags. We''re returning to Sol this instant.”


    “Got it. Give me a minute.”


    Xavion immediately headed upstairs.


    Meanwhile, Gloom and Legend


    remained silent. After Xavion left


    Gloom asked, “JameseXtvion

    “Of course.” James nodded.


    Gloom said anxiously, “I know you’re invincible, but can you stay by his side at all times?”
