"Well done!"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xu Wannian's eyes lit up, showing a trace of admiration.

Jiang Chen turned his head to Shen Xiangtian, "Old Shen, please make a copy of the training cultivation technique I gave you later for Old Xu!"

"Okay!" Shen Xiangtian nodded.

Xu Wannian was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "You, you already gave it to Little Shen?"

"The complete version of that training cultivation technique was intended to be given to you guys after the battle between Long Ya and Flying Eagle anyway!" Jiang Chen said with a mischievous smile.

"This…" Xu Wannian started with a wry smile, "You mean... we used a condition unecessarily?"

"It's you guys who insisted I must have some condition; then I just made one! A free condition is not to be refused!" Jiang Chen said with a laugh.

Xu Wannian looked resigned, turned his head, and glared at Shen Xiangtian, "Little Shen, why didn't you say something earlier!"

Shen Xiangtian looked innocent, "Instructor Jiang told me to hand it over after the battle between Long Ya and Flying Eagle ended. It's someone else's stuff, of course I followed their instruction!"

"I…" Xu Wannian was at a loss for words, feeling as if he had offered a condition in vain, not to mention in exchange for something he would have gotten in a few days anyway, which depressed him to the extreme!

However, after glancing at Jiang Chen, Xu Wannian felt it was worth it.

Although the condition was given out for free, Xu Wannian believed that having established a relationship of protecting each other's families, and winning over someone like Jiang Chen who was an absolute potential stock, it was worth it. He certainly hadn't forgotten that Jiang Chen was an Innate Grandmaster, and although Long Jianfei didn't specifically say out of moral obligation, he had also implied that his breakthrough was related to Jiang Chen!

"Alright, the condition still stands, and don't worry, this set of training cultivation techniques will definitely not be disclosed to the folks from Flying Eagle before the battle between Long Ya and Flying Eagle ends," Xu Wannian assured.

Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter. The requirements of that cultivation technique are not so easy to meet. I have already written what conditions are necessary to practice it, and without my personal training, anyone practicing this technique will definitely not reach the standard of Long Ya's elite squad."

"This…" Xu Wannian was taken aback, and then said with hope, "What if… Instructor Jiang, you…"

"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Chen interrupted Xu Wannian's words, "Don't think of making me train your people. I don't have that much free time!"

"Alright then…" Xu Wannian did not insist. First, he did not yet understand the combat power of Long Ya's elite squad, and second, he did not believe that without Jiang Chen's personal training, others would not be able to achieve the best training outcomes.

Little did he know that Jiang Chen's personal training involved using elixirs to assist the brothers of Long Ya. Deciding what type of elixir to use at what time, and what dosage of elixir to use at which level, were all deduced by Jiang Chen and Elder Yao together.

Two Innate Grandmasters, and one of them an alchemist who had inherited ancient medical practices, and the other a renowned Medicine Saint. It would be impossible to find another such pair to train for anyone else in the world!

After Shen Xiangtian made a copy of the training cultivation technique and handed it to Xu Wannian, both Xu Wannian and Long Jianfei took their leave.

"Young Jiang, you said you had something to discuss with me?" After Xu Wannian and his companion left, Zhang Zijian looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

Jiang Chen glanced at the doorway, where Shen Xiangtian had gone to send off Xu Wannian and hadn't come back yet. His face darkened as he said seriously, "Old Zhang, tell me honestly, do you have any plans for the future of the Dragon Soul members?"

"This…" Zhang Zijian did not expect Jiang Chen to ask this question, and his expression became grim.

"I guess they no longer have military status, which means they cannot return to the army. In other words, even if they die out there, they can only die as nameless heroes. And when they get old, they won't be able to receive any pension, and they might even be unable to return to the country to avoid suspicion, right?" Jiang Chen asked gravely.

"Sigh!"

Zhang Zijian sighed deeply, his eyes heavy with guilt, "Young Jiang, we really had no other choice. Do you know? There are ten top security corps in the world, and if we didn't do this, our international influence would really... Sigh! I won't go into details, just know that I have let down these passionate warriors!"

Jiang Chen instantly understood and for a while, the office fell silent.

"Here's what we'll do!" Jiang Chen broke the silence, "I have already promised Blood Kylin and the others that when they no longer work as mercenaries, I am willing to hire them in my newly established security company. I hope that when the time comes, we won't face any obstacles from your side."

"You, you're willing to do that?" Zhang Zijian looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, realizing that Jiang Chen's gesture was tantamount to providing for Blood Kylin and the others in their old age!

"They are all men of honor, fighting for Flame Dragon; they have even become stateless, unable to erect grave markers in their homeland. Since I have the capability, I'm willing to do what I can!" Jiang Chen said solemnly.

Thump!

Zhang Zijian stood up abruptly and gave Jiang Chen a solemn military salute, "Young Jiang, thank you! Thank you!"

"Old Zhang, no need to be polite!" Jiang Chen stood up and returned the salute, half-joking, "Just don't wait until they're all old and decrepit before you hand them over to me!"

In this remark, Jiang Chen used the word 'utilize,' clearly showing some dissatisfaction with the situation of Blood Kylin and the others.

But he also understood that it was a necessary evil.

In this world, where there is light, there is darkness—a truth that remains unchanged through the ages.

"Rest assured, they… will be handed over to you soon!" Zhang Zijian hesitated for a moment before his eyes revealed a determined look.

Jiang Chen was taken aback and looked at Zhang Zijian in surprise.

Zhang Zijian let out a sigh, "We've already wronged them enough; how could we let them fight until old age? After what you've shown this time, and Blood Kylin has reported to me, in addition to what we've investigated about you, I'm confident to entrust them to you. Moreover, I'm sure they will be better off under your command than mine, after all… Sigh!"

Zhang Zijian sighed once again, conveying that sometimes, from their positions, many things were regrettably inevitable.

"I understand!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, "Old Zhang, rest assured, once they're under my care, they will be treated much better, and moreover, they will still fulfill their duties!"

"Good, I'll handle this matter, but it's not something that can be accomplished quickly!" Zhang Zijian nodded firmly and simultaneously cautioned Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "No rush, I can wait!"
