Hao Ren was sitting in his cabin after handling the meetings. He was talking to Xiao Mei about planning an trip plan, when his door was knocked, he said, "Coming." The door was pushed and Carter Deng came inside and Hao Ren gestured him to sit down. The old man sat down, and Hao Ren noticed a trace of hesitation on his face. He asked, "What happened to you, Old Chief? This hesitation is so unlike you." Carter Deng smiled wryly and said, "Chairman, I drank the prescription you told me, and I can already sense that my lungs have grown stronger. The stiff feeling in my chest has vanished. I am grateful to you and do want to agree to your proposal, but their are so many people in the forces who have internal injuries and diseases that cannot be cured by the best doctors in the world. So, I..." Hao Ren nodded and cut him off, "You don't have to push yourself too hard on this. Your doubt is genuine. How about this? After work, you can ask all the people from the security department to gather inside the reception lobby. I will treat you all." Carter Deng was surprised but Hao Ren said, "I will show you that it is not big talk." Carter Deng was a veteran and he could see that Hao Ren was truly confident in his words. Thinking about it, this young man had developed the potion for the military and it was really a miraculous medicine. The old chief nodded and said, "As you wish, Sir." Then he left the cabin, and Hao Ren texted Han Lingshi to bring over Maya Okudera to his office in the evening so that she could witness his treatment methods. Han Lingshi was surprised too but she understood what he wanted to do. She was not a fool, and vaguely could tell Hao Ren's motive behind all this. Time was a fleeting element, it passed in a bit. It was evening and most of the staff had left the office. June was sitting behind the reception counter when Heath asked her, "Miss June, are you not leaving for home yet?" June smiled politely and replied, "Boss is still in his office, how can I leave?" Heath said, "Young Master will be working late on some project. He told that you can leave, don't worry, we will handle the affairs." June found it odd, but then she heard the elevator ding, and Hao Ren came out. He stopped for a second when he saw her and then said, "June, you can go home. I have just having a meeting with the security team and observe a few drills. It might take long you don't have to wait." June took his word and smiled before she picked up her bag and said, "Have a good evening, President. See you, Mister Heath." Heath smiled and June left the building. Shortly after, Han Lingshi came over with Maya Okudera. They were riding in a minivan that was specially designed with a folding ramp for the latter to conveniently get down the vehicle. Han Lingshi led her in and found thirty guards standing around Hao Ren, and Carter Deng was sitting on a stool with his shirt taken off. The young man smiled at Han Lingshi and, Heath pulled over a chair for her to sit down, and Hao Ren said, "So, Old Chief, Carter Deng suffered a shrapnel blast during his service, and although the doctors managed to save him and take out all the shards from his lungs, the damage had been severe and till this day it has not healed completely." The people nodded and Hao Ren said, "I will extract the blood that has clotted inside his lungs. Then with a prescription, in seven days he will be back to the peak of his health." After saying that, Hao Ren suddenly released a cold aura and said, "What you are going to see here should stay buried inside your hearts. If I found a single leak, I will come after you all. Do you understand?" His aura did scare the people and they all knew that he was a skilled fighter and did not hesitate when it came to killing his enemy. They were all military men and valued trust as well, so they replied to him in unison, "We understand, President!" He pinched the arm in some places before he began to channel a trace of spiritual energy from his body to the nerves. The damage was not much and it healed quickly under the nourishment of the spiritual energy. Hao Ren then went on to talk to all the guards. Each one of them had even brought their reports, and case files, but Hao Ren could tell them exactly what was their ailment and how it could be cured. He did not use heavenly means all the time, sometimes he only gave a verbal solution and the relief followed. Heath gulped a mouthful when he saw this. He did not expect Hao Ren to be such a genius doctor. Heath could see the awe in the eyes of the guards was increasing exponentially and he smiled as he said, "Old Chief, young master is a good bet." Carter Deng nodded and then he saw Hao Ren walking up to Maya Okudera. He asked, "Miss Okudera, what do you think? Do I have some skills?" Maya Okudera took a deep breath and asked, "Chairman Hao, I don't intend to disrespect you, but can you tell me what is your motive to cure me?" Hao Ren smiled and nodded as he said, "Well, since you have asked me upfront, I will not hide anything. It is your loyalty. I intend to create a force of my own. The people who answer to me and protect the people close to me. The military contracts are good money, but I hate it when someone tries to bully me even when they are incompetent. You all might be aware of what happened a few days ago regarding the Spirit Rejuvenation Potion Contract. My sister-in-law, was kidnapped by NSA, the intelligence agency of the Hawk Nation. I had to spill blood to get her back. All of this happened because someone from the military leaked the news. This is why, I do not trust them to guard the Research Center as well. What would I do if they were to just unilaterally stand up and seize control of the place? This is why I wish to teach you all how to cultivate. You all we become strong, and capable of doing what I can. What do you think of this reason, Miss Okudera?" Maya Okudera was surprised by all this. She looked at Han Lingshi and then at Hao Ren. She said, "Miss Han was the person who saved me from a despairing life. She is my school senior. It is because of her benevolence that today I am even breathing. I owe her a lot, and I am willing to take this risk, Chairman Hao." Hao Ren smiled and nodded as he said, "Even I owe my life to her. We are all in the same boat." Then he turned to look at the big men and asked, "What do you think about it, Old Chief Deng?" Carter Deng looked at the men around him and said, "I will follow what these men want to do, Chairmen. Forgive me but it is too big of a decision for me to make. My men are all young and brave, but even then I will not ask them to commit mutiny." Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Did I ask them to kill people without reason? I am asking you all to protect me and my interests, for the same thing I hired you all in the first place." One of the guards stepped out of the group and said, "Sir, old chief is worried you will send us to fight with those from the DEHB." Everyone looked at him and nodded, while Carter Deng sighed, and Hao Ren laughed out loudly, and he said, "Your job is to guard and protect. If there is a fight, you can just tell me, and I will handle it. Is that enough? If not, then forget what happened here. I can kill those DEHB people when I am strong enough so it does not matter to me." As soon as he said this, the people sensed his aura shift again. Carter Deng stood up and said, "Young Master, as look as you don't as us to do something that harms the nation or disrespect us, we will defend you and your interests to the last breath in our body." The guards nodded and said, "Till the last breath!" The voice was akin to a tide of power that washed over Hao Ren's heart and he nodded.
