Chapter 1616

Soon, he arrived at the Red Flame Army’s headquarters.

In the Emperor’s office…

James sat on an armchair while Henry stood beside him.

“How did it go?” James asked.

Henry replied, “The investigation’s results are out. But…”

“Cut to the chase.”

Henry handed James a document and said, “Centennial Corporation’s internal situation is much more

complicated than we initially thought. Centennial has many shareholders who are all powerful figures.

The largest shareholder is called Kayden Owen, the grandson of Lucjan Owen. Fifty-four years old and

the person in charge of Centennial Corporation. Please have a look at the detailed information.”

James scrutinized the document. After some time, he put it down.

Just as Henry had described, the internal situation of Centennial Corporation was much more complex

than he initially thought. There were many shareholders who possessed enormous power and

influence. To eradicate them all in one fell swoop, they must be pulled out by the roots. Though simple

on paper, it was troublesome to execute the plans.

“I understand… You’re dismissed.”

James waved his hand slightly.

He was only trying to obtain more information. He would not act immediately. Even if he was forced to

act, it would only be after New Era Commerce’s Annual General Meeting and his visit to Divine Sword

Villa.

After learning of this information, he did not linger for long and returned home.

As James entered the house, Thea asked, “Did everything go smoothly, Darling?”

“Mhm.”

James nodded and said, “Based on the Red Flame Army’s intelligence web, the current person in

charge of Centennial Corporation is an Owen. Now that Lucjan is dead, the Owens no longer pose a

serious threat. But…”

James’ expression turned grim.

Thea asked, “But what?”

James said, “Centennial Corporation has many shareholders, and each of them has roughly one

percent of the company’s shares. However, they are all powerful figures in the Capital. One of them is

even a Provincial Governor. Making a move against Centennial would require carefully formulated

plans.”

James knew of their influence. Once Centennial Corporation fell, they would be toppled from power.

There could be a disturbance if so many powerful figures were toppled from power all at once. So, he

had to make the necessary preparations before making the next move.

“There’s no need to rush things. We still have time,” Thea reminded him.

She was worried that their plans would be ruined if James rushed things. This was serious business.

Making a move against Centennial Corporation would signal the start of a revolution. Once the

revolution was ignited, they had to resolve the matter in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, the

consequences would be dire.

“I understand. Before making a move, I’ll discuss things with the King. I’ll be in charge of the action,

while he’ll be in charge of the logistics. That way, we can guard each other’s backs.”

Hearing this, Thea nodded in agreement. “That sounds good.”

For the rest of the day, James remained at home.

However, there was a huge sensation outside. New Era Commerce’s first Annual General Meeting

would soon be held in the Capital. Every reporter in the world was paying close attention to the event.

Soon, a day passed.

Today was New Era’s first’ Annual General Meeting.

Early in the morning, countless reporters flooded the street outside New Era Commerce.

Many powerful figures gradually showed up.

At the same time, James arrived at the Cadens’ residence.
