There was no question as to the validity of what the Bureau Chief had said. He had no reason to lie. It seemed that Hong Dali was like a porcupine now, untouchable!

They were not afraid that they would meet with some misfortune and died. But if they were to be completely humiliated like Itra and Salon, they were better off dead!

"What do we do, then?" asked An Yangxu anxiously. "Do we just stare at the treasure trove in front of our eyes without doing anything? It's a real treasure trove! A mountain of gold! A mountain of gold! How can we possibly enter a Gold Mountain and return empty-handed?"

"At the moment, that looks like all we can do." The Bureau Chief spread his hands helplessly. "To put it simply, we cannot hit or scold the little brat. All we can do is to pacify, spoil him, and make sure he doesn't get pressured. What I know is that he would be welcomed by the heads of whatever state he wishes to go to now. If there was a worldwide popularity chart, he might be first."

"It's a good thing he has been very satisfied with our State up till now and has been having fun." The mysterious man smiled. Toward Hong Dali, he was very satisfied. At least the little brat seemed to be rather considerate and it could be observed that he was patriotic. It was obvious from the fact that he had not rejected the request to borrow the Mechanical Holy Garments when he heard that it was for the military parade.

This was, however, not the most important thing now. What was important was how they could attract and hold on to Hong Dali's attention. "The crux of the matter lies in how to let Hong Dali better... yes, better squander. Does anyone have a good idea?"

"What other ideas can we have for someone whom we can neither hit nor scold?" An Yangxu sulked. "If only the little brat was interested in military weaponry. We could at least get some soup if he eats meat, gain something from his research." It was not easy to make An Yangxu say something like that.

The one speaking had no other intentions, but the one listening had his own ideas. As An Yangxu continued grumbling, the Bureau Chief had an idea. "Wait. Old An, what you said gave me an idea. Why don't we collude with Hong Dali and have him research military weaponry?"

Upon hearing what the Bureau Chief said, everyone paled. An Yangxu shouted, shocked, "What? You mean, ask Hong Dali to dabble in military weaponry? The State will support him?!"

It was unheard of for the State to support an individual in dabbling in military weaponry. Who did that? Were you not afraid of the little brat leveling the entire Tianjing City with an atomic bomb or something?!

"I think that will work." The mysterious man thought the idea was worth considering. "He might not cause any major problems If Hong Dali researches military firepower. After all, he's just having fun. Yes, we can let him have the one hundred and forty kilometers of desert to the north of Tianjing City. He can test whatever weaponry he invents there. It will be okay as long as he doesn't make an atomic bomb."

The Bureau Chief had been working with him for many years and knew immediately what he was thinking. He winked and said, "Boss, we can pull him into the army. Give him an army rank and show him some military set-ups whenever. With his fun-loving character, he's bound to like it! Once he likes it, he will have the urge to develop things. If we add Lin Chuyin to that..."

As they listened to the two, everyone else looked at one another and started laughing sinisterly.

They looked nothing like high ranking officials at that moment. Their grins were sly like old foxes. "That's settled, then. Later, when everyone goes back, remember to embellish things it to seem more fun. Let's pull him in slowly. I think military set-ups are infinitely more fun than civilian set-ups.""Right, right, right. We can do this, too. Didn't he buy two aircraft carriers? Let's set up the military gear and equipment in them. I don't believe he won't be swayed.""Hahahaha. We'll do just that."
