Chapter 1605
Although there were many legends surrounding James lately, the King had no idea just how strong he currently
was.
James smiled and said, “I have reached the Sixth Stair. Becoming a ninth-rank grandmaster is just a matter of
time.”
Upon hearing this, Gloom, who was behind the King, exclaimed, “What? The Sixth Stair?”
Since he was a martial artist, he knew exactly what those words meant. By reaching the Sixth Stair, one would have
surpassed many powerful figures in the past thousand years.
He could not believe his ears. He found it hard to believe that James, an ordinary man, could become such a
terrifying existence in such a short period of time. This was unbelievable. How on earth did he cultivate?

“Yes.” After thinking for a moment, the King said, “I’ll be abdicating soon, but I still have a family to feed. I only ask
that you offer me some benefits once you become the new King.”
“Sure.” James smiled and said, “That’s not a big deal. However, there won’t be a second Orient
Commerce in the future. New Era will be a fair and just chamber of commerce where everyone can thrive if they
work hard.”
Upon hearing this, the King smiled. “But of course.”
As he said that, he turned to look at Gloom and ordered, “Follow James to Mascuoyae and bring Xavion back.”
“Understood.” Gloom nodded.
James stood up and said, “I have to bring Xavion back in three days. Let us make haste and depart at once.”
The King waved slightly and said, “Get going then.”
James turned to leave, while Gloom followed close behind.
After they left, the smile on the King’s face froze. His face darkened, and he silently muttered under his breath,
“The Sixth Stair… How terrifying… How did he manage to cultivate to such a level?”
Outside…
Gloom asked, “James, have you really ascended the Sixth Stair?”
James smiled and said, “Well, not really. I’m still a step away from ascending it.”
“How did you cultivate?”
James did not answer his question. On his road of cultivation, he had come across too many indescribable
experiences.
Instead, he changed the subject, “Xavion is in Mascuoyae?”
“Mhm”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGloom nodded and said, “Before the incident at Blue Tech Corporation, the King had secretly arranged for Xavion to
be sent away. Based on the King’s initial plans, he planned to eradicate all the ancient martial artists in the Mount
Thunder Sect before moving on to his next plan. However, you came out of nowhere
and decided to save them. You’re the cause for all the trouble we’re experiencing.”
James smiled and said, “However, the matter has been resolved. Now that Lucjan of the Gu Sect is dead, they are
now leaderless. Only Orient Commerce stands in our way.
“Meanwhile, Orient Commerce will soon fall. The old era is coming to an end.”
Gloom sighed. “Let us hope that nothing unexpected happens.”
James gave his assurances. “Don’t worry, everything will go just as planned.”
Gloom nodded. “I hope so… Alright, it’s time to move out.”
After leaving Peace Mansion, they headed to the military region and boarded a plane headed to Mascuoyae.
Soon, they arrived.
Xavion was residing in a villa in a small town in Mascuoyae. All this while, he could not even leave
through the front door. He had no idea what was going on outside since he did not have a phone. That was because
he was currently under house arrest.
