Hao Ren sat inside his study, and while he looked calm, his mind was ticking. He disliked this feeling, and he stood up from the chair and headed out. After a small tour of the palace, he came to Xiao Mei's lab. She saw him and asked, "What's gotten to you?"
Hao Ren replied, "Three top metal researchers defected to an opposing party."
Xiao Mei reacted, "Oh, that, is it really an issue that is causing you to think so much?"
Hao Ren knew this extra smart artificial intelligence assistant of his must have run through a bunch of combinations and permutations. He said, "What I am worried about is, if I go and take action against those people, who will take care of the Empire here? We have just gotten the air force to be incorporated and the people are eagerly joining forces. If any of the opportunists found out about my absence, they might try to take advantage."
