Lu Yuan glanced at the other person but didn't speak, while the other person took a light puff of their cigar.

"I've finished speaking. Do you have anything to say?"

Lu Yuan smiled gently.

"General, I think the first method is more suitable. My family has a group of brothers who are never afraid of future challenges, especially when it comes to opponents like Iron Fist Corporation, we are more than willing to take them on!"

A look of astonishment crossed Howard's face.

When he arrived, he had indeed heard about the unfair treatment that Lu Yuan and his group had suffered.

The reason was actually a problem between them and a thug named Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun once said on the island that they had received many reports about criminal activities.

They had wanted to deal with Zhao Kun for a long time, but because he had many connections and channels behind him, taking action against him would inevitably offend those energy companies.

So in the end they still couldn't bring themselves to do it, which led to their military and police being labeled as incompetent and harboring criminals, making these bigwigs lose face but powerless to do anything about it.

"You mean you want to get revenge on Iron Fist Corporation? That company is quite powerful, and it won't be easy to deal with them in a short time. Plus, you'll be facing a lot of danger!"

A slight smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.

"What I'm afraid of is that they won't retaliate against us, because then I won't be able to take the initiative to attack them. Since they want to retaliate against me, then I have a legitimate reason to take action. So don't worry about me, I'm capable of handling this matter!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Huo Wei's face showed a slight expression of shock, but in an instant he understood that if the other party's methods were so powerful, then dealing with a mere Zhao Kun would definitely be a piece of cake.

"Do you need our support in the background?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

"That's right! I need your support! I don't want you to buy this technology, because I don't intend to release it!"

After hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Howard's face.

He hadn't initially planned to bring up this condition, but the other party was insisting on it, which put him in a difficult position. After all, he didn't want to drive away the wolves only to be greeted by a tiger.

However, expelling those energy company employees is now urgent. If a period of unrest could effectively drive them out, that might not be a bad idea.

Even if Lu Yuan were to become a fierce tiger in the future, as long as they take precautions, they might be able to suppress his strength.

After thinking about this for a moment, he nodded gently.

"In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation. I agree to your condition!"

After hearing the other party's reply, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The two sides then discussed the requirements for cooperation. Lu Yuan's requirements were not many; he needed a site for building the house and support from various connections.

He needs the other party's support for anything that requires his full effort, but Lu Yuan can handle things like money and technology on his own.

The conditions proposed by Huo Wei were very simple: Lu Yuan's side could not establish a joint company or engage in business monopolies after entering the Hope Continent.

Once a price is set, it must be discussed with them, and the sales channels must be jointly controlled by the military and the police, among other conditions.

These things posed no threat to Lu Yuan, so he naturally chose to agree.

In this way, the two sides can be considered to be working together, and Lu Yuan has a new identity: the military's backup.

The two stood up and gently shook hands.

Lu Yuan and Huo Wei entered the living room together with smiles on their faces.

When Lu Yuan stood in front of the door and shook hands with the other party, this scene was secretly photographed by a reporter nearby.

The military quickly helped Lu Yuan resolve the issue of the island.

When they arrived at the dock this time, Lu Yuan brought a group of people with him, just like before.

However, his status is somewhat different today, because he is now a designated officer in the military's resource department, and his rank is not low, he can be considered a major general.

This was a power that Huo Wei granted to Lu Yuan in order to stabilize public sentiment.

Although this military rank is nominal and has no real power, it is still very useful outside the military.

Especially when faced with provocations from minor, unruly departments, he can directly reveal his military background, which may be able to restrain the other party.

When they arrived at the same place again, the two guards who had blocked their way before were still there.

When his two soldiers saw Lu Yuan and his group, they both had a smile on their faces, as if there was going to be a good show today.

One of the guards approached with a slight smile on his face.

"Sorry, it's Saturday today. If you want to come, you'll have to wait until Monday!"

Lu Yuan sneered.

"Why are you still here if you don't work on Saturdays and Sundays?"

"What? What business is it of yours that we're here on Saturday and Sunday? I've told you, get out of here!"
