Chapter 877 - You're Not Nikolai Vetrov Anymore

"Being thorough and careful are not the same as being insane," Jin Liwei retorted. "My wealth and power may give me the ability to protect my wife, our children, and our loved ones, but that's only if I know what I'm protecting them from. I don't like being taken by surprise especially if it concerns the safety of my family. Now that I know that your actions might endanger all of us, I can't just turn a blind eye especially when there's a way to be more proactive."

He couldn't wait to see how much a highly advanced AI like his virtual cat nephew would be able to do for his group. Would Bacon be able to take Shadow Winds to the next level? The only problem was that his sister wouldn't let Bacon go without Lu Zihao agreeing to this meeting first.
