Chen Haotian left Han Lin’s café, his heart still heavy with doubt and unease. The "more powerful forces" Han Lin had alluded to were a clear wake-up call. The power backing Tianxiao Group was far more complex than he had imagined; this was no longer mere business competition, but a struggle involving deeper power dynamics. As an innocent bystander caught in the fray, he could no longer afford to remain detached or calm.
Chen Haotian realized deeply that he needed to prepare for the coming storm. He could no longer rely on wishful thinking, nor could he depend solely on his cultivation to solve the problems at hand. With his current strength, standing alone against these forces would be difficult. While progress in his cultivation was essential, in the real world, the control of information and the maneuvering of power were equally critical.
He needed more comprehensive preparation and a broader perspective to contemplate his next moves. Everything seemed to have started with Zhao Yun’s request for help, peeling back layers of mist and leading him into an increasingly intricate world.
