Chapter 1566: Chapter 587: A Warrior Dies for His Confidant

Looking at Han Zhixin’s confident demeanor, Ren Zhong momentarily felt slightly dazed.

Ancient memories slowly surfaced in his mind, and Ren Zhong always felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar.

He thought carefully, then unearthed that strand of memory.

Soon, a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Ren Zhong’s mouth.

He patted Han Zhixin’s shoulder again, "Confidence is all you need."

After speaking, Ren Zhong again pulled up Han Zhixin’s resume.

Pointing to one of the entries, he said: "Eight years ago, you served as the Planet Governor of Planet K117. This was a planet that had just been acquired, once belonging to a bankrupt earl who could be termed as garbage. The people on the whole planet were heavily infiltrated by the Nanxiang Marquis, with low intelligence and extremely irritable temperament, difficult to tame. Originally, the Administrative Department from this side of the Earl Mansion proposed a development plan to gradually complete population replacement through reproductive oppression. By conducting field investigations and deeply interacting with the lower-class civilians on Planet K117, you managed to find shining points in this group of victims of flawed genetic modification techniques. Now Planet K117 is the best single-soldier combat machinery performance testing base under the Earl Mansion, and it also provides a large number of elite soldiers who can follow orders without question and fight to the death."

"Thirteen years ago, you concurrently held the position of Minister of the Sixth Limb Production Management Department of the Shattered Star Ring. During your tenure as Minister, the production efficiency of thousands of star bodies within the Sixth Limb tripled, advancing from a marginal star limb that was on the verge of being cut to a key production base."

"Eighteen years ago..."

Finally, Ren Zhong said again: "These are all achievements you created within the system of the Red Peak Earl Mansion. But what truly astonished me were the things you did before joining the Red Blade Clan. When you just inherited the baronial title, you were still just a child. You and your family were also almost completely bankrupt. Many of your relatives were clamoring for division of family property and going their separate ways. Yet you managed to quickly unite everyone and actually found a breakthrough. At that time, you took risks to run trades outside using invisible coatings, constantly living under threats of extinction, yet your numerous decisions never missed. If it weren’t for that accident, the Han family would actually have already risen."

"So, I fully understand your capability. Jin Simin intends to promote you as his successor, and I agree. When the time comes, you may boldly take action. I give you full trust."

Han Zhixin did not expect that Ren Zhong would be so familiar with all his past, and with great emotion, he said: "Alright, I’ll go apply for a psychological evaluation now."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "There’s no need. If you suspect someone, don’t use them; if you use someone, don’t suspect them. Didn’t you say before, the biggest difference between the Red Blade Clan and other Empire forces is humanity. So, no psychological evaluation is needed."

Ren Zhong’s words seemed casual, but Han Zhixin was greatly startled, his mind buzzing, and he instinctively said, "This... this is not following the rules."

Ren Zhong shook his head slightly, and looking straight into Han Zhixin’s eyes, said: "You’ve been with the Red Blade Clan for so long, haven’t you noticed yet?"

Han Zhixin: "Noticed what?"

Ren Zhong grinned: "Within the Red Blade Clan, there are Red Blade’s own rules. Even if they are different from the Empire."

In that instant, being stared at by Ren Zhong, Han Zhixin’s heart started to pound.

He was very smart, even able to combine his own experiences to understand the subtext of Ren Zhong’s words.

The other layer of meaning in Ren Zhong’s words was precisely that his Red Blade Clan wanted to shake the rules within the Mechanical Empire, those same "various bad habits" that Han Zhixin criticized.

"Alright, that’s enough for now. Prepare to hand over work with Jin Simin. In the next sixteen years, the focus of the whole clan will shift to the Liao Yuan Star System. I won’t return to the Southern Nine Star System, so there’s no need for you to relocate to the Southern Nine Star System for work, just stay here. As for the relocation work of the Earl Mansion’s administrative hub, it will be Jin Simin’s last major task to handle personally."

Ren Zhong didn’t wait for Han Zhixin to respond further, he casually issued the order to leave.

After stepping out the door, Han Zhixin looked back every few steps, his mind thundering loudly.

To die for a bosom friend.

This was an emotion impossible for anyone in any other faction within the Empire to have.

Han Zhixin and his family had once been members of the Empire, and they grew up and formed their worldviews in this environment, but after many years with the Red Blade Clan, his heart finally started to beat for others.
