Hao Ren and Hao Mei 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 me, they did not let me 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 me little fatty. Boohoo, they are bad.."
As she said this, she buried her head in Hao Ren's shoulder and cried. Hao Mei 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 me 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 become unfit before she starts her training."
Hao Ren nodded and looked at the guys before he said, "I understand that you mean well, but understand the fact that Xiao Si is the youngest and there is still some time 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."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
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 Mei 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 Mei frowned and Hao Ren replied, "Once you manage to kill someone that may appear to be invincible, other people will follow the example."
You say that your operation will make us come to the light and have a rather legitimate identity, why so?"
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "The senior operatives would assume 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 meet 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 medicinal 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 mean?"
Xi stood up abruptly and said, "Young Master, can you allow me to follow you closely? I wish to learn these tactics."

Everyone was surprised, but Hao Mei chuckled and burst out in loud laughter. Hao Ren was unsure of what was going on and asked, "What is going on?"
Hao Mei 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 someone to come up with exact plans. I will go back."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Countering Evil?"
Hao Mei 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...*
