Once enthusiastic, he decided to give this loyal subordinate some \"ideological enlightenment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We come from the darkness, yet transcend the darkness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is illusion, everything is permitted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We walk in the dark, yet serve the light. In this world, you won’t find our traces, but we are everywhere...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission-filled declaration resonated like a heavy hammer, striking Xiao Shuai’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trembled with excitement, his cheeks flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although some words seemed obscure, he could clearly feel the grand ideals and broad vision contained within this organization!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was full of prestige!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It certainly wasn’t something low-class entities like the Red Tiger Gang or Noah Organization could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the excitement, he suddenly recalled that the president had previously taught him a Cultivation Technique called the \"Great Sun Burning Body Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be... that it’s related to this organization’s symbol?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai carefully remembered the visions that appeared in his mind during meditation. Wasn’t it a red-gold light emerging from the darkness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That light seemed like a lighthouse guiding the way, or like a rising sun illuminating the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was all connected from the beginning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you need to understand something clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng watched his look of sudden realization and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our organization recruits ’Cleaners,’ not just simple assassins. During operations, do not kill the innocent, only target those heinous criminals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai didn’t fully understand the distinction between \"Cleaners\" and assassins, but it didn’t prevent him from resolutely following orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, President! I will firmly remember the organization’s mission!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt a bit thirsty after speaking, so he poured himself a glass of tea and drank it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xiao Shuai, who seemed like he was about to burst with excitement, he nodded in satisfaction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been practicing the Cultivation Technique I taught you last time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, President, I’ve been practicing it daily and have never dared to slack off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai answered carefully, given the instruction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just... sometimes I feel a bit dizzy, like something is spinning in my head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a normal phenomenon of spiritual power being overexerted, don’t worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng eased his worries: \"Practice as often as you can, once in the morning and once in the evening. It will be beneficial for your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, he patiently guided Xiao Shuai on specific issues arising during spiritual cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he gave a few special reminders:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, when meditating, you must be focused without distraction, only thinking about my image in your mind, as clearly as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you see the vision of the sun or lighthouse, you’ll be considered an entry-level. The clearer and brighter this vision becomes, the more profound your cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng held onto a thread of hope, eager to see Xiao Shuai continue cultivating with himself as the \"Meditation Target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to enhancing the phenomenon of \"Spiritual Resonance,\" and providing him with purer Spiritual Energy, he wondered if there would be any other changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially concerning potential unique benefits or negative effects on Xiao Shuai’s own spirit and body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were engaged in discussing spiritual cultivation issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden commotion of noise and screams erupted outside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng heard it clearly; it came from downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Robbery! Don’t f***ing move, hand over everything valuable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, kneel if you don’t want to die; the gun in my hand doesn’t have eyes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a woman’s scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black Bull, what the hell are you doing to that waitress?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, boss, just a moment, I want to snatch some color too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F***! Stop wasting time, hurry up and find the rich targets upstairs, we’ll be done if the cops come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crude cursing drifted from downstairs into the room with clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng frowned slightly; someone dared to rob a place like a teahouse in broad daylight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai’s face momentarily flashed with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Fang Cheng still sitting there calmly, his anxious heart quickly settled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a master like the president here, what was there to fear about mere robbers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room door was suddenly kicked open violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly, dark-faced bald man burst in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the room, landing on Xiao Shuai and the two large suitcases in front of him, his eyes immediately filled with greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, come quick!
