Ghost, huh?? That old man sure hypes me up. God, you're thousands of years old, and you're hyping up a teenager like me?
Pttff… hahahah…
Well, not his fault. James Lee is a person whom everyone should admire; that's one of his core traits…
Anyway, the mind games and tricks he played were funny for sure and unexpected…
There was micro dust all around the room, perfect for taking handprints… The cameras around the room were the first thing I noticed when I entered the room as Ghostfreak…
I was right; he was ready. Thankfully, I did my preparation, but still, what an old fox using his own daughter to check my intentions. That was risky…
But desperate people do desperate things. He wanted information about me, and he could not get any, so the best thing he could do was learn my true intentions. He still does not trust me, but I don't care. He already admires me; soon he will trust me—just one or two little things—and when I bring his wife back, he will be the most loyal pawn…
Hmm, Xialing, she has potential. For sure, and more than that, how did I deal with her? Well, easy, I just pat her head. When I did that, I inputted the smallest amount of chi into her body, making her feel, well, better. This trick does pretty much nothing other than warming someone else's body a little. Some people might not even notice if I do this…
But Xialing, she was not only young, but also she had the blood of Xu and Ying, who both used Chi. Plus, the blood of Ta Lo runs through Xialing, so inputting even the smallest amounts of Chi made her body react. She was feeling very giddy, and also, when I brought her mom up, she could not hold her emotions, and that's how I pretty much destroyed Xu's plan or whatever it was…
Plus, I also threw him off a little by talking about the 'Zero Circle.' Honestly, it's just going to be a group of people who are powerful, and under me, they would die for me, pretty much…
And that's all that it is, nothing more, but I wonder if he could see my hint… James Lee is also in the Zero Circle… You see? Funny thing, I can control James Lee because I am him, haha…
That's a funny wordplay. If Xu ever learned about me and everything, he would for sure laugh or cry about this one… But also, the Zero Circle really is just a way to throw JD in there. Xu will think more about me than JD; that's why I spoke about the Zero Circle. Pretty much the Zero Circle is a distraction so JD could slip past Xu's mind…
But transforming the Ten Rings? That's not a distraction. No, I want to do that… For sure, I have big plans for the Ten Rings; it will be my stepping stone for bigger things…
But as James Lee, I only have one goal, which is 'Conquest,' really nothing else… Plus, this was the actual plan Gray Matter came up with; it was better than mine. My plan was just helping Frank and getting a favor from John Pilgrim, but, well, Gray Matter's plan is…
To use the Ten Rings to solve my problem, yeah, I won't even be doing anything other than maybe coming there for a small meeting, doing nothing much… and help Frank in a smooth way, and John Pilgrim will also owe me, but that's not all. Gray Matters' plan was even bigger…
Blackmailing Anderson Schultz not only with the photos but also with much more evidence, which I will have with the help of Ava... And, well, just like that, I have control over a billionaire philanthropist and a big company owner whose son will also become the senator…
Not only that, but by taking the photos that Amy has… Amy, be safe too. In this way, I will help Frank 2 times, but, well, I won't count this… because I will be able to get some good money…
But while James Lee does that in the USA, in China, 'JD' will open up and start dominating the gaming market there… With the help of the Ten Rings support, it will, for sure, be a hit…
And this will all take days, but I will have a lot more power… And well, Leo? What will he do? Well, just go to college, and, uh, yeah, Jessica, I see what she is up to…
I yawn and lean back on the rooftop and look down at my phone. Today was…
Saturday, huh? I should get moving and go back to my house, but should I do something else? I won't get more chances like this to come to China again unless I build a super fast plan…
Is it time? I use chi mind meld on Xu and take thousands of years of knowledge he has… I have been holding myself back from doing that. Why? Because mind meld is strong, but it has side effects too. If I am not careful, my brain might go boom! If I take in too much knowledge too fast…
Plus, I don't want Xu's useless knowledge. No, I only want the fighting and useful skills and knowledge Xu has, and it would be really hard to look through the memories of, well, a thousand-year-old man, you know? Did you know half of a human's life is spent sleeping, eating, and shitting? I don't want all the memories of Xu in the toilet for thousands of years!
It would get really hard and might take me days to actually get important information about anything, and that's if Xu himself lets me in his mind for that long…
The reason I was able to use mind meld before on Xu and learn everything about the Ten Rings is because, well, that was a core memory. The Ten Rings was something Xu only got once, and he learned about it once. It was his most powerful weapon, so it was easy to learn about the Ten Rings from Xu's mind, but anything else will take Great processing power and really fast thinking speed…
Plus, I would love if I could do this without letting Xu know about the Chi mind meld… It's one of my trump cards, honestly one of the things I want to hide because that's just how powerful this is…
Hmm, there has to be a solution, an answer for this problem, plus using chi mind meld also takes a lot of chi… So I have time limits too, plus I can't just stay in China and do this like every day. No, I have to do it once and fast…
Faster… Smarter… I have to be that… Well, wow, that answer was easy, huh, Gray Matter… Hahahaha, I found the answer with Gray Matters Brain and processing power. I could do this, but, well, now the only question is how fast can I do this? I have zero doubt that Gray Matter can't find all the useful memories from Xu. But the problem is, can gray matter do it before I run out of chi?
And before I time out…
I have to test things. I am not sure about a lot of things. I am sure I can do this, but how long will it take? Is that the real answer? If it takes more than 5 hours, then this is impossible, and there's pretty much no use doing this, but…
This is Grey Matter we are talking about, the one alien I have used the most ever since I came to this world… Yeah, I believe after testing it will be possible, but not now; it will take time…
I stand up and look down from the rooftop. I was actually right now standing on the top of the Shanghai World Financial Center, one of the tallest buildings in China. The view was, well, breathtakingly beautiful.
You know, there was a time when I did not understand words like "breathtaking," but now…
I understand them…
I let out a breath and look at the sunset…
