Chapter 540: Chapter 534: To Bow or Not to Bow (Part 1)

What’s the advantage of a planet? Although a planet has a huge number of factories, employees, and sales channels spread all over the world, if Finn Lewis wanted to build these, wouldn’t he do so without any worry?

However, Hanson Lee probably had no idea that Finn was not at all focused on these areas. Money was no longer the primary pursuit for Finn. What Finn pursued now was very simple: points, a huge number of points! Because a huge number of points means that Finn would have a long lifespan! This was something Finn only recently found out about!

“You’re welcome. Finally, I have something else to tell Chairman Hanson Lee.” Finn pondered for a moment. The truth was, Finn only got this information after he had his first genetic adjustment which significantly increased his lifespan to about 150 years. For anyone, lifespan is the most tantalizing thing! Who wouldn’t want to live a few more years? Finn was no exception!

However, Finn knew from Zero that each genetic adjustment could increase lifespan only to a certain extent, but the points required for each genetic adjustment kept increasing! What Finn knew now was that he could adjust his lifespan up to 500 years, but this was the limit within a certain time frame! Did you hear that? Within a certain time frame, which means this timeframe can still be extended!

And Finn was not just thinking about himself. He had family, Kay Lee, parents, relatives, so the points needed were definitely huge. There were various ways to increase lifespan, but direct genetic adjustment was free from side effects, although it was costly. There were other ways too, such as the cloud mist tea.

Hanson Lee was only 73 years old this year. Although the cloud mist tea had stabilized his condition, his lifespan was estimated to be over eighty years at most. If Finn were to tell Hanson Lee that he could extend his life to at least 100 years, would Hanson Lee side with Finn?

“What do you want to say?” Hanson Lee asked, looking somewhat puzzled at Finn.

Finn laughed and stood up, pulling Kay Lee to her feet as well. He walked towards the door and when he reached Hanson Lee, he placed his hand on Hanson’s shoulder and said softly, “If our cooperation goes well, how about I invite Chairman Hanson Lee to attend the Flame Nation’s Centennial Military Review?” Having said that, Finn turned and walked out the door, leaving the two people in the room stunned.

Hanson Lee was also stunned, and didn’t react immediately. He didn’t know what Finn’s words meant, but Finn certainly wouldn’t say something meaningless. After a few minutes, Hanson Lee seemed to grasp something. His eyes lit up instantly and his breathing quickened. Startled, Graceful Lee quickly asked, “Father, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Hanson Lee composed himself, knowing his body couldn’t handle such excitement anymore, and that was even with the help of the cloud mist tea. Otherwise, he would have met his maker long ago.

After several deep breaths, Hanson Lee managed to compose himself. At this moment, it seemed Graceful Lee also understood that her father had grasped something. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Father, did you figure out what he meant by that?”

Hanson Lee drew in a deep breath, then said solemnly, “Tell me, Graceful, do you think someone like Finn would be the kind to waste words?”

“No,” Graceful Lee replied immediately. Even though she initially thought little of Finn, she now understood that Finn’s success was not unearned. One thing was obvious, Finn was no fluke. No one becomes successful by accident.

“Then it’s simple. Think about how I regained my health and then think about what he just said.” Hanson Lee spoke quietly, keeping his voice down.

Graceful Lee hesitated for a moment, then began to think. After a while, a look of surprise crossed her face, and with a shocked expression, she said, “Father… Father, you mean… he has the technology to extend… extend life?”

“I know my own body. I trust you’re clear about it too. I’m 74 years old this year. If I hadn’t found that tea in Moon of West Lake, I might’ve been gone by now. But even with the tea, I can’t live for several more decades. I’d be lucky to live another 10 years. But Finn invited me to Flame Nation’s centenary military review, which is more than thirty years from now. Let alone someone like me who’s had cancer, even a healthy person can’t guarantee that they will live that long,” Hanson Lee said, his voice tinged with excitement.

“Since he has a tea like the cloud mist tea, and he’s conducting further research in the genetic field, it is likely that he might have made some breakthroughs, isn’t it?” Although Hanson Lee seemed to be asking Graceful Lee, the tone in his words was one of utter certainty.

It’s hard to understand the potential an individual can unleash when they learn that their lifespan can be extended, especially if that person has been close to death. Indeed, they would do anything in order to achieve this. Money lost can be earned again, but once life is lost, everything is lost.

Graceful Lee’s eyes also began to glaze over with fanaticism. If her father could extend his life to over 100 years, didn’t that mean she could live even longer? Although this might mean she could not control the family due to her father’s existence, but when it came to lifespan, even Graceful Lee, who was just over fifty, had an indescribable desire.

“No matter what, our cooperation with Finn can’t be terminated,” Hanson Lee stated resolutely.

“Yes, Father,” Graceful Lee bowed slightly in agreement. Although Hanson Lee’s influence may have impacted her perspective, Graceful Lee’s insight was not poor either, having served as the chairman of the Planet Corporation for many years. She had the vision. Even if she didn’t have this life-extending chance, Graceful Lee would still have long-term cooperation with Finn.
