Resurrection Empire-Chapter 844 - 323: An Actor’s Self-Discipline
Before anyone else could express their views, Ren Zhong had already turned and returned to the airship.
Watching the luxurious vehicle worth billions slowly close its hatch, the people of Nangao Town struggled to calm their emotions.
Those who had accused Ren Zhong of helping in the wrong way silently shut their mouths, their faces flushing.
They found it hard to understand why a foreign millionaire would fight so hard for Nangao Town, which had nothing to do with him.
Even if he messed things up, he could just dust off and leave.
He wouldn't suffer any losses, it would just mean a few more locals dying in Nangao Town.
Even the local mayor and the resource recycling company owner didn't care, so why should Ren Zhong?
But Ren Zhong insisted on doing it.
Someone in the crowd said that even if Ren Zhong sympathized with the people of Nangao Town out of moral obligation, he could have simply offered a large reward to hire experts from afar.
After all, under heavy rewards, there are bound to be brave souls.
But someone immediately told him, no one knows when Yuan Qinh might come, and even if they posted a reward now, it would be too late.
Ren Zhong had only two choices, either to personally guard here or stand aside.
He chose the former.
"Boss Ren is a good person. Alas, why didn't I live in Starfire Town back then?"
"Don't joke around, if it was the old Starfire Town, with your temperament, I bet you wouldn't have survived until now."
"That's true. I heard Yang Bingzhong and Lin Wang from the old Starfire Town were very ruthless."
"Both of them fell into Boss Ren's hands."
"I heard it was a semi-professional team that brought Boss Ren back to Starfire Town."
"Alas, why didn't anyone bring him to us back then."
The locals were chatting passionately, while the Nangao Resource boss seemed restless.
He felt something was off.
He couldn't understand what crazy move this foreign millionaire Ren Zhong had made.
He considered contacting Ren Zhong to express concern but worried Ren Zhong would ask for things, like sending his professional team to assist in the battle.
Eventually, the Nangao Resource boss chose to play deaf and dumb.
Inside the airship, Ren Zhong sat upright on the sofa.
Hanyu, who had recently learned some basic medical knowledge and had a pair of skilled hands, was helping him with the injuries on his face.
Ju Qingmeng frowned and asked, "Do you really want to use these two potions? I... I always feel..."
Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "I lied to them about two things. First, the side effects of these potions aren't severe, they're just regular explosive potions, not life-threatening. Second, I don't actually need the potions to deal with Yuan Qinh. I was just deliberately acting pitiful. If I don't show some struggle, how will the people of Nangao Town appreciate my kindness. Right?"
After speaking, Ren Zhong winked at the four people.
Everyone understood the signal.
Ou Youning immediately gave a thumbs-up, "Boss, you're awesome! Boss, you're wise!"
At this moment, Sun Ai quietly stopped concealing Ren Zhong's information.
Ren Zhong's conversation with them was the content he was willing to let the "Net" see.
He wanted to be a good person in front of Nangao Town people while being a villain in the eyes of the "Net".
As days passed by, unknowingly, Ren Zhong became more familiar with the operating system of Source Star, and his disguise tactics became increasingly skilled.
No one wasted more words, and Ju Qingmeng took the armor to the repair cabin at the back of the airship to quickly replace damaged components and energy batteries.
Hanyu continued to tend to Ren Zhong's facial injuries to prevent scarring.
Ou Youning, along with Chen Meng, left the airship to make some arrangements and took the opportunity to chat with Yuan Qinh, investing in hiring some "warriors" to set up some automated monitoring devices outside the town to detect Yuan Qinh's movements ahead of time.
At twelve noon, Ren Zhong finally completed his rest, wore the new Red Blade Armor, and walked out of the airship, appearing on the town wall.
He didn't greet anyone or speak any inspiring words; he just calmly sat on the edge of the wall, looking up into the distance.
The people of Nangao Town finally understood the sentiments of Starfire Town's people.
As if just seeing the blue figure made them feel at ease.
The heartfelt words someone accidentally let slip earlier resurfaced in the hearts of many Nangao Town people.
"Why isn't Ren Zhong the boss of Nangao Resource?"
"If only..."
"But there's no if."
At this moment, Ren Zhong slowly stood up, switched on the amplifier, and shouted loudly to the people in the parking lot behind him in Nangao Town, "Yuan Qinh is indeed starting to head this way. Everyone, pay attention. I'm afraid I won't be able to control the intensity of the battle with him. Pass the word, all unrelated personnel should temporarily leave the town, including citizens."
