After Shen Bing hung up, he was greeted by Yun Xue's and Yuan Wei's stunned gazes.
"What's... with those looks?" Shen Bing asked in surprise.
Yun Xue swallowed. "Shen Bing, the Chief you were just talking to..."
"Yes, you guessed right." Shen Bing smiled. "There's nothing surprising about that."
"I'm not surprised that the Chief called you directly," Yun Xue said. "I'm surprised he actually agreed to let you deploy a weapons system in Kyoto with firepower on par with a nuclear bomb."
"And the key point is that he even agreed to let our company's people operate it," Yuan Wei added.
Shen Bing smiled calmly. "Actually, if you look at it from another angle, it's not that complicated. We're all citizens of Huaxia. We just aren't military personnel. The Chief once mentioned that he was considering giving me a military rank, but that was put on hold for various reasons. Both the Chief and the other senior leaders of Huaxia have their own judgment. They understand that my existence is an opportunity for Huaxia, not a threat. That's why they've given us leeway on so many policies. Add the current situation to that, and it's understandable that the Chief would allow us to deploy this weapons system."
Yun Xue and Yuan Wei thought it over briefly. Although they still felt there was probably more to it, they did not dwell on it.

Then came the nuclear-powered transport plane and the spaceship capable of reaching the moon. The people at the top were no fools. How could they fail to understand the strength behind Phantom Immortal Technology?
