Right, right, right!

This thing can even change a person's constitution.

Not only has the constitution changed, but after just a short period of combat, it is now confirmed that, besides constitution, strength can also emerge out of nowhere.

Such a magical thing can make people stronger; can it not save a person?

"Are there any side effects?"

Zhang Beixing seriously asked.

This thing, when used on test subjects, allows regular people to immediately possess the power of a strong Martial Artist.

Now Makely says it can even bring people back to life.

Even under specific conditions.

That's terrifying enough!

If Makely were to tell him that this elixir-like thing has no side effects whatsoever and is entirely positive,

Zhang Beixing wouldn't believe a word of it.

Makely thought carefully for a moment, "There are definitely side effects, but I really don't know the specific ones."

"Because all the possibilities I just mentioned are theoretical; I've never actually tried them in practice.

"

"But looking at the previous test subjects who became Grandmaster Martial Artists."

"It's highly likely that similar problems to those exposed before will arise."

"Among them, the most basic one, which can even be said to affect every person injected with the agent."

"About two weeks after being injected with the agent, their memories start to become a bit chaotic."

"In severe cases, they can completely forget things that happened just last month."

Memory loss?

No, this isn't memory loss; this is memory confusion.

Zhang Beixing somewhat understood.

"It's not a big deal, just memory loss. Compared to being able to survive, it's insignificant."

Makely quickly poured cold water directly onto Zhang Beixing.

"Minister Zhang, what I mentioned are the simplest and smallest side effects."

"This issue basically occurs with everyone injected with the agent. After all, the current version of the agent is still in the trial phase, and the final product hasn't been developed yet; the one I'm researching now is just closest to the final version."

"Other side effects include, but are not limited to, violent outbursts, killing anyone seen during episodes."

"Some people also experience temporary loss of pain; such situations have happened before."

"One individual chosen for injection, after becoming a Grandmaster, actually had the audacity to try to blackmail the company."

"In the end, without exception, they were all dealt with by the organization, more or less."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Beixing finally spoke.

"So, Lady Makely, can you give me a dose of the agent? Regardless of the outcome, I must go to Wu Country to bring someone back to Great Xia, as a repayment."

Zhang Beixing indeed owes Leng Bing a favor.

It was Leng Bing who carried fake Cultivation Techniques to spread within Wu Country.

To ensure the plan's success, he was schemed by Simoski and Harley Yous; he directed Simoski Organization's members to attack another organization.

All the footage was recorded; during that time, the uproar at home was intense, and he was nearly publicly shamed.

Now, when he's directing operations in Wu Country, his face has been completely captured.

For Zhang Beixing's sake.

Leng Bing truly cannot return home or the country now.

All these are caused by Zhang Beixing's plan.

Therefore, if Zhang Beixing leaves Leng Bing in Wu Country, disregarding him, waiting for him to die.

Tut-tut.

Even without anyone daring to stand before Zhang Beixing and criticize him, even Zhang Delin wouldn't dare.

But he would still have a hard time forgiving himself.

"Lady Makely, just tell me straight, what exactly do you want."

"Whatever I can do, I'll find a way to do it, as long as you have the means to rescue my friend in Wu Country."

"And you must ensure that even if there are side effects, they can't be too severe."

"We shouldn't end up rescuing him only for him to return home opposing us."

Makely's lips curled slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.

This was the sentence she was waiting for from Zhang Beixing.

"I want to accompany you to Wu Country, where I will personally intervene, minimizing risks."

"This way, not only is the issue resolved, the person you want to save is saved, and you gain a new Grandmaster-level Martial Artist; isn't it perfect?"

"..."

Seeing Makely reveal her intentions, Zhang Beixing inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought she would propose some excessive request.

Like demanding his devotion or self-sacrifice.

Yet, it turned out to be such a small matter?

"Alright, I agree. You come with me to Wu Country, and after it's all settled, I'll personally escort you back to Great Xia."

Zhang Beixing sighed, "Having been away so long, truth be told, I do feel like returning."

Makely chuckled, "Why, The Ninth Bureau's western campaign is ending?"

Makely was already that kind of mature, intelligent woman, with a hint of distance and coolness about her.
