Chapter 697 697: The Path Ahead Laid Out
"Hehe, I didn't expect that joining this organization would bring so many benefits. Alright, I will certainly cherish this opportunity and, at the same time, keep everything a secret from outsiders."
"Good, that's settled then. Today, we've already gone through the task assignments, and there's nothing too important. Mostly, the tasks involve delivering messages, so there's no need to repeat them. I look forward to our next meeting. Farewell, everyone."
After the conversation, the small windows on the screen suddenly disappeared, and the original desktop reappeared.
After ending the meeting, Ye Chen took a long breath, surprised that such a mysterious organization had always been lurking around him.
However, after being brought into the organization today, he felt that it was somewhat different from what he had imagined. If that was the case, he was willing to continue cooperating with them.
"How is it? Isn't it all as I described to you? Rest assured, I have never deceived you. If there's anything, I will tell you the truth."
"Yeah, it's indeed good. If I had known this, I would have joined this organization sooner. Plus, they said they could provide unlimited assistance."
"Right, don't think that we are just a simple group of around 20 people. But let me tell you, each one of us possesses incredible abilities. Besides our strong capabilities, every one of us holds a high social status in a country and has a public identity. So, whether it's a need for money or any other help, a simple gesture from these people should elicit a quick response."
"So that means, even if an ordinary person is very capable, they might not necessarily reach this level, right?"
"No, if you have a strong foundation, like how I was selected by them in the past, they take you step by step to the side of Master Liu and promote you."
"Are you saying that the organization has paved the way for you?"
"Yes, if I were just an obscure figure in society, it would be utterly meaningless for them. So, they understand the importance of all this."
"What about me? What will happen to me in the future?"
"You are a special case and when I was communicating with them through email, we discussed this matter. Regarding paving the path for the future, they will not interfere with you. They want you to develop freely. If they really set strict boundaries for you, I think it would be completely unsuitable for your personality."
Having listened to Li Fu's explanations, Ye Chen actually understood very well. If they really laid out such a path for him, he probably wouldn't be willing to accept it deep down.
To put it plainly, Ye Chen was used to freedom; apart from following Li Fu's orders, he would not allow anyone to meddle in his business.
"How do you feel? Overwhelmed by finding out so much today, or is it a bit hard to accept?"
Li Fu seemed to understand Ye Chen well and knew what was on Ye Chen's mind at this moment.
"By the way, they also specifically mentioned this before, the room is specially prepared for you, isn't it?"
"That's right, it was apparently prepared at a high cost. But to my surprise, it turned out to be worthless in my hands and has never been of any use. I've always felt very guilty towards the organization for this."
"But over the years, haven't you managed everything very well without relying on this equipment? Sometimes machines may be convenient, but manual work is still the most reliable."
"No, you're mistaken. Compared to other members of the organization, the country I'm in is very secure, much more fortunate than those turbulent countries. Most of my time is spent looking for a suitable heir and investing time to properly train them, so I can naturally retire from the Martial Arts World, right?"
Ye Chen just smiled slightly when he heard this.
He knew that the heir Li Fu was talking about was probably himself, as over the years, no matter the task, he was always the only one by Li Fu's side.
"So, I can only say I've been lucky. For example, other members sometimes discuss how special their tasks are. Without these professional devices, they really couldn't complete them properly, so you must get a handle on these devices."
"Alright, no problem. I'm quite interested in these gadgets, and I can familiarize myself with them tonight."
"Does that mean you're not planning on resting tonight?"
"I'm not sleepy. Besides, I have to report to the old master tomorrow and then it's going to get very busy, leaving no time to learn about these devices. So tonight is very important for me."
"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't stop you. There are rooms inside for you to rest. I'll go to sleep—wake me up when you leave, and I'll join you in meeting the old master."
"Alright, go get some rest."
After that, Li Fu walked towards the inner suite.
Over the years, Ye Chen had conducted research on some modern machines, so getting the hang of them should not be difficult and he expected to quickly master them.
Ye Chen spent the entire night familiarizing himself with all the machines. Although some devices were rarely used in the normal course of events, they could be life-saving in critical moments.
Some machines were used for everyday communication, but Ye Chen felt that with Anying by his side, these devices would probably not be of much use to him.
