"I sent a few brothers to test him a few times. Although this person is down and out, he has a strong backbone and hasn't dabbled in anything unclean. He's a man who sticks to his principles."
He hesitated a bit as he continued:
"He's just a bit stubborn. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to persuade him, after all, our organization isn't exactly... a legitimate... a regular company..."
Xiao Shuai observed Fang Cheng's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice:
"President, how about I find some new faces to give him a little trouble?"
"Like press him on his debts or cut off his livelihood, force him into a corner, and then we can step in..."
"No."
Fang Cheng raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone was calm yet carried a sternness that allowed no dispute:
"We, the 'Illuminati', are an organization aiming to establish a new order, not a low-level gang. Those we recruit must be like-minded individuals."
