Chapter 740 - 727 Breakthrough (1)_1
However, Situ Xin’s view on this changed unexpectedly one day.
The change in Situ Xin’s perspective happened after the child of Mei and Xiang Yang was born, when she visited Mei and the baby. Watching the heartwarming scene of Mei and Xiang Yang holding and playing with the baby, Situ Xin suddenly felt that some aspects of The Dark Division needed to be improved.
For The Dark Division to rely solely on the funds allocated by the nation and the rewards earned from missions wasn’t a wise choice. The former meant they would always be dependent on the nation, and continuously put their lives on the line for the country without conditions. Although this was The Dark Division’s original mission upon its establishment, Situ Xin did not want The Dark Division to become a tool of the state, a machine that unconditionally and endlessly carried out tasks for the country.
Taking on missions was also dangerous, with the risk of losing one’s life in a single misstep. It wasn’t a big deal in the past when they were all solitary individuals, but now, starting with Xiang Yang and Mei, the members of The Dark Division were changing. They were getting married or marrying off, having children, and with family, everyone would have concerns and things they hold dear. So, a life of earning rewards through missions was not a good choice.
Originally, Situ Xin was worried about how to change the status quo, unable to find a breakthrough. This time, The Dark Division’s handling of the matter with the Gu Family sparked an idea. Since she had never planned to let the Gu Family off the hook, why not transfer the ownership of the Gu Family’s company directly to The Dark Division’s name? With elites from all walks of life within The Dark Division, handling the modest Gu Food was not difficult at all. Wouldn’t this resolve the issue of The Dark Division’s funding source?
The members of The Dark Division wouldn’t have to keep taking on missions constantly. Of course, Situ Xin wouldn’t let them slack off in their training. Although they wouldn’t have to constantly take on missions to earn rewards, nor become the nation’s tools, The Dark Division still had their own principles and loyalties.
They had their duties to perform, such as investigating and eliminating spies from other nations within Country H, tasks meant for The Dark Division.
As for those collateral members of the Xiao Family, there was even less need for Situ Xin to intervene—this was Xiao Muli’s responsibility. It was up to him to deal with it, and he was the only one who could.
