And just then Xu pressed a button on the table, and then a man wearing a suit opened the study room and walked in with a respectful bow, but then the man looked at Xu and then at me in shock…
Why was his boss sitting on the guest chair while this—who even is that kid? Sitting on the boss's chair?!
'That's probably what he is thinking… ha.'
"Take this USB and find the people in it, and I want all 3 of them with zero casualties. Bring them to safety and do it as quickly as possible." Xu spoke in a commanding tone, and the man in the suit bowed and, without question, walked out of the room and closed the door…
I smile at Xu and speak, "Wow, is that the aura of a king??" I spoke in a teasing tone, and Xu was not amused at all, so I spoke again, this time talking about the important stuff…
"Yes, you're right, old man. I have 2 more tasks for you. The first one is simple: I want you to start transforming the Ten Rings… into something new, something better. It will be more like 95% would change, but 5% would still be here acting like the Ten Rings." I speak in a calm tone as I smile at him, and Xu's face changes when he hears my words…
'Oh, I see he understands if he changes the 10 Rings fully, the world itself will feel the change… So he's only changing the insides… The outer layer still will look like the 10 Rings… a mask. I don't even know what he has in mind for this transformation, but by only changing the 95% from the inside, he has already put a mask on the secretive 10 rings…' Xu's mind moves fast, analyzing every word James said with speed almost inhuman…
"Ha, you seem to like to hide like a ghost, hmm? What will the true name of our organization be?" Xu spoke in an amused tone as he grabbed the cup of tea on the table and sipped it with a smile on his face…
"'The Zero Circle'—that will be the name of my new organization. Only the most important, and only those at the top of this organization, will know 'The Zero Circle.' People who are in this circle right now are, well, you and me. What do you think of the name, old man?" I speak in a calm tone as I match his smile with my own…
"The Zero Circle? Hmm, the way you're making it sound like my Ten Rings will just be an army, the king and generals will be in 'The Zero Circle,' right? Smart; the most important part of a kingdom is their brains. If the enemy knows where the general is and just kills the general, the army is of no use… You speak like you have been in war…" Xu speaks in a calm tone as he looks James right in his eyes…
And I smile at him and speak, "What? Really? Oh, come on, I just wanted to hide myself from the world. Plus, if there will be people joining the Zero Circle, they will be powerful people, and those people will also want to keep their faces hidden. I am not building a kingdom for war, old man…" and I shake my head as I speak…
And Xu lets out a laugh, and then he speaks: "Ha, yeah, sure, the same young man who broke into my kingdom is now claiming he is a peacekeeper? Oh, my kids nowadays grow fast, huh? What is the second task?" Xu spoke in an amused tone; he did not believe any word I said…
"Yeah, the second task is even easier. You just have to let the company owner named 'JD' into China's market to make some little calls so 'JD' can start his company and expand it in this country." I speak in a calm tone as I look around the room. Honestly, it was boring, like a plain study room…
"JD? Is that someone you know? Or will he be in the Zero Circle?"
Xu questions in an unsure way because Xu did not know who 'JD' was… But the reason Xu was questioning was actually deeper because, so far, Xu has no clue about who James Lee is and where he comes from, so he can only assume that James has other people working for him… But this was bad for Xu because this means James Lee has more power than Xu thought he had…
"No, JD will not be joining the Zero Circle. In fact, keep everything away from JD. Just support him and make it easier for him to enter the Chinese gaming market. You know the Chinese government has a bad habit of controlling the companies that work in their country, so I just want some freedom for 'JD,' since he is not well known in China, for no other reason…"
I speak in a calm tone as I smile at him, and Xu blinks, and he takes a deep breath.
"Ok, supporting JD is done, and I will start changing the Ten Rings... but for now I will work on bringing the 3 people… anything else?" Xu speaks in a cold tone. He had maybe thought about something…
