Chapter 1604

These were turbulent times in the Capital. Before, James had only targeted the military.

Now, even the commercial world was involved. From today onwards, Sol would descend into disarray.

Some long- established families would be toppled from power, while some emerging families would seize

the opportunity-and rise to power.

With the upcoming coronation of the new King, they would gain tremendously from this.

At that moment, in the Callahans’ residence in Cansington…

All this while, the Callahans had been thriving in Cansington.

With their connection with James, they immediately emerged as the rising star in Cansington.

Even families from the Capital had to show their respect toward them.

Meanwhile, the Callahans paid close attention to the situation in the Capital.

As the Cadens and the Sullivans announced their withdrawal from Orient Commerce and joined New Era

Commerce, the Callahans could no longer suppress their desire.

“Father, this is the perfect opportunity.”

The Callahans gathered.

Howard said, “Those who stood on the right side thrived over the past century.

Now, we just need to seize the opportunity and do so.

The Callahans are no longer an influential family in Cansington but one of the most powerful in the

Capital.”

“Yes, Grandpa. This is the perfect opportunity.”

“Give the order to head to the Capital.”

They offered their suggestions.

Lex said anxiously, “Although I want to, James warned me against heading to the Capital prematurely.

He told me that the water runs deep there. If we go, we might…”

“There’s nothing to worry about at all. We still have Thea, after all. With her on our side, we can

accomplish anything!”

“That’s right! Rather than giving away our cut of the meat, why don’t we have it all for ourselves? I

believe that James is still on our side.”

Upon hearing this, Lex looked at Benjamin and asked, “What do you think?”

“Father, you should decide this yourself,” Benjamin said.

“What do you think, Gladys?” Lex turned to look at Gladys.

After a brief moment of thought, she said, “I think everyone’s opinion is valid. This is the perfect

opportunity.

If James becomes the new King, he will show favoritism to the Callahans.

Besides, I believe that James can win this power struggle. That’s what I hear on the streets.”

“Alright.” Lex immediately stood up and announced, “Since everyone’s in agreement, we will head over

to the Capital at once.

This time, I’ll be bringing Howard, Benjamin, and David along. The rest of you will stay put here.

Remember, Cansington is our core. You have to put the family’s interest above all else.”

“Grandpa, I want to go too!” Tommy immediately stood up and pleaded, “Please bring me along!”

Howard chimed in, “Father, just bring him along.”

“Alright then, you’ll come along with us.”

The Callahans were prepared to head to the Capital.

They were no longer content being stuck in an insignificant place like Cansington. In Cansington, their

space for growth was limited.

Only by cooperating with stronger and more influential families and businesses can they reach even

greater heights.

At the same time, in the Capital…

At Peace Mansion…

James met the King. He simply cut to the chase. “Where’s Xavion Zachary?”

The King replied, “He’s no longer in the Capital. In fact, he’s currently overseas.”

James said, “I need him now. I have to bring him back at once.”

“No way! Do you have any idea how many people have set their sights on him? He’ll be in danger if he

shows up now,” the King rebuffed James’ idea.

James smiled faintly and said, “Not confident in me, are you? Who on earth can harm him with me by his

side?”

James was not arrogant. He was simply strong enough to say that with confidence.

Now that Lucjan was dead, only Lance and Sky remained in Orient Commerce. James had full

confidence he could ensure Xavion’s safety.

“What do you mean?” The King looked at James.
