Chapter 1618
Many convoys appeared before them. However, they all belonged to the Phantom Army. Fully-armed soldiers swiftly
got off the convoys and pointed their firearms in the direction of James’ convoy.
James looked at the soldiers of the Phantom Army. His face darkened, and he asked coldly, “What do you think you
are doing? Do you know who I am?”
“Of course I know.”
A middle-aged man stepped forward. He was wearing an ancient-looking costume.
James fixed his gaze on the man. He could not recall the individual standing before him.
“Who are you?”
“You may address me as Sky.”
Upon hearing this, James’ face darkened.
Sky…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow would he not have heard of Sky?
He was one of the Elite Four who served under Lance a hundred years ago. Based on his current appearance, his
strength must have increased by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, he would not have such at youthful look.
James looked at Sky and smiled coldly. “So it’s you… What’s the meaning of this, may I ask?”
Sky looked at James’ convoy and said smilingly, “Oh, nothing much. I just need someone.”
As he said that, he pointed at the convoy behind James and uttered word by word, “Hand the man in your convoy
over to me, and I’ll leave right this instant. Or else…”
“Or else what?” James said coldly. “This is the Capital. What can you hope to accomplish here? If you insist on
resorting to violence, I’ll fight to the bitter end.”
“I can stall for time,” Sky said coldly. “The rest of the Phantom Army is heading toward New Era Commerce as we
speak. All members of New Era will be arrested for unlawful assembly. Although there’s nothing much I can do to
them, I can detain them for twenty-four hours no problem,” he said nonchalantly.
James clenched the Blade of Justice in his hand.
If not for the safety of the Capital’s residents, James would have brandished his sword. However, he knew he could
not resort to violence. If even the slightest bit of an energy wave struck a neighborhood, the consequences would
be disastrous.
“Don’t make me.” James clenched the Blade of Justice. A vein popped out in his neck, and he exuded a killing intent.
“I only need Xavion. Don’t worry, I promise I won’t harm him. He’s the key to Sol’s prosperity and dominance on the
world stage. Why would I bring him harm? My objective is the same as yours. I wish only for Sol to prosper.”
“No way.”
James did not compromise. Xavion was too important for his plans. He could not hand him over under any
circumstances.
“It’s fine even if you don’t hand him over.” Sky looked at James, and a grin crept up on his face. “Why
1/2
don’t we make a deal, James?”
James looked at Sky with suspicion. What was he up to? “What do you mean?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSky smiled and said, “Actually, I couldn’t care less about who controls Sol. I have no wish to rule over a country. All I
want is to become the most powerful individual in the world. Meanwhile, in my understanding, the most powerful
family in this world is the Vampire Clan of the West.”
James listened to his words intently.
Sky uttered word by word, “I plan to head to the West in search of the Vampire Clan in the very near future. I
require your assistance. If you agree to my demands, I give you everything you need. From today onward, Orient
Commerce will no longer exist, and I will never be engaged in another power struggle with you.”
James asked puzzledly, “Why do you want to search for the Vampire Clan?”
“To kill them, of course,” Sky said nonchalantly.
“Aren’t you a little too ambitious? The Vampire Clan is a terrifying existence. There’s even someone who has lived
for 500 years and crossed into the ninth rank. You don’t stand a chance against them.”
“Besides, you’re just an errand runner. You don’t call the shots in Orient Commerce.”
James did not trust Sky’s words, nor would he cooperate with him.
“No, no, no…” Sky shook his head. “Lance is already dead. I now call the shots in Orient Commerce. I only need you
to agree to my demands. If you turn down my offer, there will surely be a bloodbath.”
“What do you mean he’s dead?”
