Chapter 44

Li She looked at the four people's recovery and estimated that it would take another one or two months for them to fully recover. Everyone greeted Li She respectfully, "Boss!"

"Um! Come to my study," Li She said.

The four people came to Li She's study and stood awkwardly. Li She's unintentionally revealed strength during this period had indeed shocked them. Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo's skills also made the four people tremble with fear. Li She and these three people could take their lives with just a wave of their hand. With the favor of saving their lives, the four people adjusted their attitudes and honestly served as Li She's subordinates.

Li She took out a cigar, and Xiao Bing quickly lit it for him. Li She's habit of being a superior, cultivated over ten years in the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," was once again displayed.

After exhaling a smoke ring, Li She threw cigars to Lao Mao and Xiao Bing and said, "Although we are in America where the sky is high and the emperor is far, we cannot be complacent. To resist such a powerful force, we must have our own strength, and this is also for us to stand firm in America!"

The four people all nodded in agreement with Li She's words. After all, they were in a weak position in America, living in the shadows and relying on fake passports. Before they met Li She, they were even afraid of being pursued from their home country.

"Boss, you're right. But apart from our skills in breaking and entering and stealing, we are not very good at running businesses. Moreover, it's not practical for us to go into the underworld. There are more gangs here than cow hairs, and a dozen people can form a gang," the cunning Lao Mao said.

"Boss, why don't we stick to our old trade? With our golden combination, what can't we get our hands on?" Xiao Si said eagerly.

"Um, I know some former mercenaries. How about we recruit them?" Xiao Bing said.

The steady Sanzhi Shou said, "That's right. Our current situation is all expenses and no income. We need a way to make money in the future!"

Everyone looked at Li She, waiting for their boss's opinion. Li She said solemnly, "I don't oppose sticking to our old trade! But do we still have to rely on intermediaries like the God of Wealth to share part of the profits? Hmph! Intermediaries are never reliable. The underworld? These are too low-level and can easily be suppressed by various forces. I want to establish an organization! An organization that penetrates every industry, like roots buried deep in the ground, covering all industries!"

"Covering all industries? Penetrating?" Everyone was shocked by Li She's grand vision. If such an organization were really established as Li She described, not only the Liu family but even the government would fear it. Everyone's eyes burned with excitement.

Li She suddenly realized that he was the current successor of the Divine Thief Sect, and the words "penetration" and "thief" sounded similar. He smiled and said, "Our organization will be called 'Penetration'! Penetrating all industries, penetrating all profits."

Decades later, the 'Penetration' organization, which controlled the U.S. elections and had a hand in any profitable industry worldwide, was born in Li She's study.

In the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," Li She ran the famous 'Heavenly World.' Thus, he began to assign roles to each person. Although the organization was just starting, clear division of labor was necessary.

Li She, the boss of the 'Penetration' organization, was naturally the 'Leader.' Nicknames like Xiao Bing, Lao Mao, Sanzhi Shou, and Sijiao She could no longer be used.

Xiao Bing, being a former soldier, was given the code name 'Warrior,' in charge of the organization's combat and recruitment of special forces. This fit Xiao Bing's background well.

The cunning Lao Mao was given the new code name 'Strategist.' After all, having an experienced person was like having a treasure. Lao Mao, skilled in disguise, was assigned the task of gathering intelligence and investigating.

Sanzhi Shou and Sijiao She, the two sisters, were proficient in hacking and had strong hands-on skills. Making bombs and explosives were child's play for them. Therefore, Li She assigned them to logistics, and they were known as 'Scholars.'

The casual names 'Scholars,' 'Warrior,' and 'Strategist' that Li She gave would later become figures that other major forces would look at with envy. Years later, people would say, "The Scholars are unparalleled, the Warrior is ruthless, the Strategist is cunning, and Penetration is unmatched!"

With the overall goal set, Li She, the hands-off boss, naturally let the four people operate on their own. He gave each of them ten kilograms of gold bars as startup capital. The four people were top experts in their fields, and Li She's delegation of power, combined with the favor of saving their lives, made them start using the ten kilograms of gold to operate.

This was the time to test the four people's abilities. They were all stunned when they saw the gold bars Li She took out, not expecting him to trust them so much.

Xiao Bing, holding a cigarette, sighed, "Leader, I'm convinced! Rest assured, within three years, I will definitely bring you a special forces battalion."

Lao Mao, weighing the heavy gold bars, said, "Within three years, I guarantee that all of North America will be filled with our informants!"

"With these gold bars as startup capital, all the company databases will be our backyards," Sanzhi Shou said calmly.

Li She nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to your results."

On another note, the cultivation of the Slaughter Intent required constant killing to integrate one's innate intent, reaching the level of a true innate expert.

Li She had not communicated with the spirit of the artifact for three months. He silently communicated with it, "Big Brother Spirit, every time I travel through countless worlds, staying for ten to twenty years, only a month or two passes in the real world. If I go a few times, won't I become an old man? Is there any way around this?"

The spirit, which had been silent for a long time, said, "There really isn't. Although the time ratio is different, the traces of time on the body cannot be eliminated!"

"Really? Now, to unlock one level of the seal, I need to steal most of a world's luck. This requires a long-term plan. Even if I can live over a hundred years as an innate expert, I can't unlock many levels!" Li She complained.

"How can you be so stupid? With the Divine Thief Order, you can travel through countless worlds. Just find a way to become immortal!" the spirit said disdainfully.

"Right! How could I not think of that? There are countless worlds, including movies and novels with plots about immortality. Damn! How could I not think of that?" Li She said, slapping his head.

"Then which world do you plan to go to now?" the spirit asked.

"Um, I'll still focus on cultivating the Slaughter Intent. I can't stay at the half-step innate level. I need to reach the level of a true innate expert. I'll talk to Yuyan and the others first." Li She said and got up to leave the study.

Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo, with their excellent genetic heritage from Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui, had already dismissed their private tutors last week. Now, Li Yunluo was reading books about stocks, while Wang Yuyan was browsing various martial arts videos on the internet.

Li Yunluo, seeing Li She come, smiled sweetly and said, "Li Lang, have you arranged everything?"

"Yes, I've given them the gold bars! The rest is up to them. How are you finding these books?" Li She asked, looking at the thick "Stocks for Beginners" in Li Yunluo's hands.

"It's not difficult. It's like buying big or small, buying low and selling high! It's the same as stockpiling goods! I just haven't actually operated it, so I don't know the specifics," Li Yunluo said elegantly.

Wang Yuyan, not looking away from the computer, said angrily, "Husband, the martial arts in this world have really declined. Even the famous Shaolin Temple has become a tourist attraction. How could it decline so much? The Shaolin kung fu has become an entertainment program to attract tourists!"

"There's nothing wrong with that. For survival, it's inevitable. In this world, it's survival of the fittest. What Shaolin did is understandable. I heard from my late master that during the political turmoil in the 1980s, Shaolin
