After leaving the conference room, Lin Qi got into Mr. Wo Delike's car. He had also attended the meeting, but had not said a word throughout because there had been no need.
Now that they were in a relatively private and secure place, he asked, "Do you think they're difficult to deal with?"
Lin Qi nodded once. "Very difficult."
"What makes them difficult?" Mr. Wo Delike was extremely curious. "More advanced weapons, or some outstanding tactics? Or is there something special about them?"
Lin Qi gave him a very direct answer—one he had not expected. "Spirit!"
