Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Our Goal is Noble
"Every time I come here, I can't help but be amazed. This... 'Druid Ability'? It's truly unbelievable."
The enormous wooden gate slowly opened as Melinda drove the Smart car inside, as if entering a forest-themed luxury hotel.
During the coldest two months in New York, the members of the Benevolence Society witnessed a natural miracle.
With the help of SHIELD's power to block information, Oaks could finally let go and let them see if this deal was worth it.
The headquarters of the Benevolence Society was a massive treehouse that seemed to have "grown" directly from the ground.
With the support of shareholder Tony, the treehouse quickly transformed into a well-planned office space.
The current Benevolence Society, as Oaks had said, was a wide-ranging environmental charity organization.
With connections to SHIELD and Melinda's personal coordination, all official procedures went smoothly.
Under Antonio's professional planning, the Benevolence Society quickly established a scientific organizational structure and deepened its cooperation with the New York Environmental Foundation.
The homeless, disabled individuals, and marginalized poor who had been discriminated against and oppressed by society, finally embraced their own spring.
As members of the Benevolence Society, they pledged to fight for nature, protect the environment, and wildlife.
Their mindset changed rapidly and completely, to the point that Melinda thought they had been brainwashed by Oaks.
But in reality, all of this was the result of the subtle influence of Little Rainforest and Blaze Clark over the past year.
It could be said that they had become utterly disillusioned with their previous lives, and the Benevolence Society was the place where they could realize their self-worth.
Of course, Oaks played a significant role in all of this—those who were rejected by society were people who didn't fit in with the mainstream.
And not fitting in with the mainstream could be due to discrimination from mainstream society or because mainstream society could no longer understand their lofty ideals.
For these pitiful individuals at the bottom of society, all they needed was a little guidance from tranquil and peaceful Nature Magic to elevate their thinking to a higher level.
It wasn't that we were unworthy of this society; it was that we had transcended this society, and that's why they rejected us.
In simple terms, the current Benevolence Society saw the protection of nature as their sacred mission.
However, this did not mean they were anti-human, anti-technology, or anti-urbanization.
This was the biggest difference between the Benevolence Society and extremist organizations.
Under Oaks's influence, they advocated for "natural balance."
The balance between humans and nature was essential for long-term global development.
As members of humanity, technology was the primary productive force and a necessary means of progress. However, in the process of development, it inevitably caused damage to nature.
Nature's backlash against humanity had been seen numerous times, but humanity had yet to truly awaken to it.
We, the Benevolence Society, are the ones who are ahead, who foresee, and who take the lead. We are not politicians; we awaken humanity's reverence for nature through action.
Our cause is just, and our goal is noble!
Taking advantage of the peak of the New York greening plan, the Benevolence Society's concept of natural balance received widespread attention—especially with Tony's support and the intentional or unintentional push from SHIELD.
The Benevolence Society and the Environmental Foundation spontaneously raised seedlings and, with astonishing efficiency, completed the municipal greening targets in the impoverished areas of Brooklyn in just one month!
For a while, there was a strong social response and widespread praise.
Even the mainstream media and the public began to reexamine the impoverished areas that had always been seen as "New York's tumors."
Oaks Woods, the president of the Benevolence Society and the genius biologist dedicated to environmental protection, once again became the focus of society.
As for resistance...
Who would oppose a charity organization that only wants to help you plant trees?
There are no parades or demonstrations, no fanatic slogans. We don't need your money, your effort, your publicity, or your participation.
They silently complete their work without wasting time or energy on idle talk.
The first New Year after the establishment of the Benevolence Society marks the beginning of a new journey.
"Blaze, the manpower we currently have barely covers our current scope of work, but in the future, we will undoubtedly face a shortage of manpower and the infiltration of people with impure motives."
In the president's office, Oaks, Vice President Blaze, and liaison officer Melinda are having a meeting.
"So, you must not slack off in terms of manpower training. It is of utmost importance to our cause. Even if we don't have new recruits with such high levels of consciousness as our existing members, it doesn't matter."
"The environmental awareness in society is awakening, and it won't be long before the green revolution sweeps the globe. And we will be the pioneers of this era!"
"Yes, President, I firmly believe in that!"
Blaze can be said to be the most steadfast believer in the Benevolence Society. He is responsible for personnel screening and ideological education. The tough and resolute mercenary doesn't preach much, but his unwavering faith allows him to have an incredibly accurate judgment of people and earns the respect of all members.
"Once Antonio returns, maintain the current scale. Take steady steps. Our reputation is already out there. Next, we need to improve our internal mechanisms. Our goal is not just the small city of New York."
Oaks pats Blaze's shoulder and gives him a reassuring smile.
"Gather all members in half an hour, and I'll show you my new invention."
"Yes, President, your inventions always leave a lasting impression."
Blaze sighs with emotion. In the past two months, they have witnessed many miraculous events.
That's the power of a top-tier scientist!
"When Antonio returns, I'll be going on a long journey. It will probably be around six months. I attach great importance to the 1KP plan. Before that, I have developed something new that can lay the foundation for our Benevolence Society to continue thriving."
"The foundation has provided some initial funding, but it's far from enough. An organization cannot rely on its members working for free to sustain long-term development."
Oaks interrupts what Blaze was about to say.
"Listen to me, after all, you're still part of human society. Today, I will distribute everyone's first-month salary—in cash! Then, join in the celebration of the New York Spring Festival. It's what you deserve."
"Yes, President!"
The man wipes away a tear from his eye and respectfully takes his leave.
"You're going away for half a year? Amazon again? You didn't tell me about it before."
Melinda glances at Oaks.
"Also, you're going to showcase your new invention today? I thought distributing the salaries would be laborious enough."
"Come on, Mel, come with me and see my masterpiece from yesterday—the Oak Bar!"
