Chapter 223: Shanghai Fantasy
It was evident that Shen Lin had long admired Wu Hao’s skills and strength, while also feeling deeply shocked. Wu Hao’s power seemed to go beyond Shen Lin’s understanding of what humans were capable of.
Now, hearing Wu Hao say there was a chance for him to become strong too, Shen Lin naturally felt very excited. However, he also understood that since Wu Hao was asking him such a question, and Wu Hao not only possessed great strength himself but could also bestow it on others, it implied that Wu Hao had an extraordinary identity and background.
Now, with Wu Hao calling him alone to discuss this matter, two possibilities came to mind: first, Wu Hao intended to give him an opportunity to grow stronger; second, it was Wu Hao’s indirect way of telling him that, should he agree, he would have to pay a price.
Shen Lin understood that the only thing he could offer in return was his loyalty to Wu Hao. He wasn’t a fool and easily caught on to the underlying message in Wu Hao’s words.
However, Shen Lin didn’t feel any resistance to pledging loyalty to Wu Hao. Having worked for him as a security guard for his parents for some time, Shen Lin had gained some understanding of Wu Hao’s character. Thus, he wasn’t too worried that Wu Hao would make him do something that would violate his principles, such as harming innocent people or endangering national security.
If Wu Hao were truly that kind of person, Shen Lin figured he would have known by now, after spending so much time with him. But he had never seen Wu Hao engage in such activities.
If there was one exception, it would be the time in Hong Kong when Wu Hao, through some unknown means, completely destroyed a family that had been established there for decades.
It was precisely that incident that gave Shen Lin and the other security personnel responsible for his family’s safety a rough idea of the tremendous power behind Wu Hao.
