Hao Ren and Hao i returned to the courtyard. It had been fifteen days since they left and the people heaved a sigh of relief when they saw him return. The children were very reliable on him. Little Si trotted over and said, "Jian, Peng, and Ding bullied , they did not let eat drumsticks, and..."
Hao Ren had just landed on the ground when he heard the little one complaining. He chuckled and scooped her up in his arms. He asked dotingly, "Why did they bully you?"
Si replied, "They call little fatty. Boohoo, they are bad.."
As she said this, she buried her head in Hao Ren's shoulder and cried. Hao i saw this and was surprised to see how much these children trusted her brother. They did not have any barriers with him as if he was their friends. Specially the girls, they all saw him as the reliable elder brother. She could see the affection and respect they held for him in their hearts brimming through their eyes.
The young man coaxed Little Si before he looked at Reni and asked, "Sister Reni, can you tell what is going on?"
Reni nodded and replied, "Little Si has been tasting the drumsticks cooked by the girls these days, and she likes them. The boys do not want her to gain too much weight and beco unfit before she starts her training."
Hao Ren nodded and looked at the guys before he said, "I understand that you an well, but understand the fact that Xiao Si is the youngest and there is still so ti left before she starts training. Let her be, if she gains weight, she will work harder. Gaining weight is not a problem. Look at her, she looks like a cute little dumpling and I cannot wait to pinch her cheeks. She is so adorable."
Xiao Si was indeed so adorable but when she heard Hao Ren wanted to pinch her cheeks, the little girl moved like a loach and escaped his arms running around the courtyard, "Big brother Ren is a baddie."
Her antics caused everyone to erupt in laughter. After a few minutes, Hao i called the young man to the living room with Reni, Yan, and Xi.
She said, "So, why did you do it?"
Hao Ren smiled at her and said, "Because they are linked with the royal family. Wonder what will happen when a royal relative is no longer invincible or protected?"
Hao i frowned and Hao Ren replied, "Once you manage to kill soone that may appear to be invincible, other people will follow the example."
Xi was surprised and then she said, "If you kill soone invincible, you make them look mortal and the people who harbor resentnt against these so called invincibles, they take up arms."
Hao i frowned and said, "Do you think just killing one person would be enough?"
Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "It won't be, and I know but I do not plan to stop. I want to ask you a few things."
The lady nodded, and Hao Ren asked, "Ma told that you are a disciple of the Tang Sect?"
Hao i nodded, and said, "Yes, I am one of the three direct disciples of the Tang Sect. However, my identity is hidden from the normal world. I work in the shadows and also if the sect faces a situation like the past, I will be responsible for reestablishing the sect."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "What about this force that you have, is it under the Tang Sect as well?"
Hao i raised her brows and asked, "You want to make use of my forces?"
Hao Ren did not hide his intentions and nodded. He said, "I need a lot of people to expand the business. This way you will also get a legitimate thod of acquiring information."
Hao i leaned back in the chair, just because he was her brother did not an she would give him all that he wanted with a say so. She has worked hard for what she had and the people under her were not simply her subordinates, they have been through life and death situations. She would not put them at risk for anyone.
Hao Ren did not continue to speak when he saw that she was thinking about the issue. He understood the fact that he was not simply asking her for money but her people. If she was to ask him the sa, he would hesitate as well.
Hao i said, "I have sixty people in the tower of light, they were all children that I ca upon on my way and then lent then a hand to grow strong. They have already done more that what they should have."
Hao Ren noticed the change in expression of the three girls. It was the expression of a disagreent. Hao i said, "The tower of light operates in the shadows and we are not know to anyone. However, in the past fifty years, ever since I first set up the hall with five people, we have co a long way.
In the south there are twenty people gathering information, due to the chaotic situation between the four kingdoms.
You say that your operation will make us co to the light and have a rather legitimate identity, why so?"
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "The senior operatives would assu the role of the restaurant manager. I do not want to go over to every city and have a shop there. I wish to target the capitals, the ports, and the borders. The information hubs where the rich and the powerful et and gather.
The information will then be used by a force which is in reality your Tower of Light, but we will rebadge it for the public eyes, Thunder Group. This world has a lot of cultivators that dwell around in search of dicinal herbs and also spirit beasts materials. They will train, and they will grow stronger under public eye. They will infiltrate the royal households, and win favor from the people.
Do you understand what I an?"
Xi stood up abruptly and said, "Young Master, can you allow to follow you closely? I wish to learn these tactics."

Everyone was surprised, but Hao i chuckled and burst out in loud laughter. Hao Ren was unsure of what was going on and asked, "What is going on?"
Hao i said, "Xi is the strategist, usually she is the one who is making plans for us to focus, but your words probably won her over. Well, I will let her follow you as you will need soone to co up with exact plans. I will go back."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Countering Evil?"
Hao i shook her head and said, "I have to visit the Sect as Master's birthday is near. Please prepare a good dish for her."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Fine, tonight we celebrate my realm promotion."
*Ding: Congratulations on the promotion, you are rewarded with...*
