The two waited in the courtyard for a while before a chubby man hastily came running toward them.
The man appeared before James and greeted him respectfully, “You should have informed me of your arrival beforehand, Mr. Caden. And you people! How could you not invite them in after they arrived?
“Please, after you, Mr. Caden,” Zaiden, the Patriarch of the Sullivans, invited James and Quincy in.
After they entered, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zaiden had heard of what James was capable of, especially his fierce battle against Tobias at the Mount Thunder Sect. James had now become invincible. He could not afford to offend such a man.
In the Sullivans’ foyer…
Zaiden stood by the side.
James looked at him and said, “Have a seat, Zaiden.”
Only then did Zaiden take a seat before looking at James and asking him respectfully, “May I ask what business you have with the Sullivans?”
James said smilingly, “Why? Can’t I simply pay the Sullivans a visit?”
Zaiden had a rough idea of why James came, and he was prepared to make a decision. Now, he was only a step away from officially announcing it to the world.
Zaiden said, smiling, “Surely you jest, Mr. Caden. Why don’t you cut to the chase?”
James did not beat around the bush. “Mr. Sullivan, you should know that I have established a chamber of commerce and even took over the Lees’ businesses. Meanwhile, Maxine Caden of the Caden family is on my side. Not only that, but there’s also the Mount Thunder Sect, my wife Thea Callahan, and the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect…”
He immediately began boasting about his strength.
“Over the past hundred years since Orient Commerce was established, it has committed many unscrupulous deeds. So, I plan to make a move against them in the very near future. As I believe that you’re a man of upright character, I came here to notify you in advance. I also sincerely hope that you’ll leave Orient Commerce as soon as possible.”
Though James claimed to be offering Zaiden suggestions, he was in fact threatening him.
