"They have merely copied our products and possess no real research and development capabilities. Our second-grade automatic pill cauldron will be on the market soon. As for which side has greater prospects for development, I am sure Young Master He knows the answer perfectly well." Wei Zhao spoke with confidence.
"Heh. That is only your side of the story. The Xuandan Sect is an old-established alchemical sect. How do you know they lack the ability to innovate? A man does not stop eating pork simply because the butcher is gone." He Tianzu remained composed. "Still, if Mr. Lin wants to redeem himself, that can be arranged. All you need to do is help Miss Xu Shilan sign with my company. Then we can consider ourselves business partners, and our past grievances will be wiped clean. How does that sound?"
"Could I go back and think it over?" Wei Zhao asked after a moment's consideration.
"Think it over? If you give me your assent, I will take Xu Shilan away, and our deal will be settled. Otherwise..." He Tianzu gave him a threatening look. "Consider this conversation over." In truth, He Tantou's instructions had been perfectly clear. If Wei Zhao was willing to offer greater benefits, cooperation was possible. After all, Elder Chen's life was not more important than the overall interests of the Overseas Cultivators Association.
Of course, if Wei Zhao refused to cooperate, they could simply eliminate him and turn to the Xuandan Sect. It was not as if they would have nowhere else to purchase automatic pill cauldrons.
Thus, Wei Zhao's ambiguous answer gave He Tianzu an opening, allowing him to seize the chance to take Xu Shilan away.
Wei Zhao had not expected this spoiled heir to be so shrewd. He knew enough to take Xu Shilan back first. It seemed his delaying tactic would not work. With that thought, Wei Zhao sighed softly and said, "He Tianzu, have you really thought this through? Do you truly intend to make an enemy of me?"
"Wei Zhao, what exactly do you mean? I am kindly helping Miss Xu Shilan get in touch with a film and television company. How does that amount to making an enemy of you?" He Tianzu asked with an impassive expression.
"Heh. What you are really thinking is something you know better than anyone, is it not?" Wei Zhao smiled and offered no direct answer.
"Fine. Whatever I may be thinking is none of your concern. This is my demand. If you agree, we will sit down and discuss matters properly. If you refuse, then we go our separate ways." He Tianzu looked at Wei Zhao as though he had the entire situation under control, leaving Wei Zhao no room to choose.
"Is that so..." Wei Zhao drew a deep breath. "Let me think about it. Is that acceptable?"
"Of course." He Tianzu nodded indifferently. In his view, Wei Zhao's desire to think it over was nothing more than an attempt to save face. A man beneath another's roof had no choice but to bow his head, and He Tianzu did not believe Wei Zhao possessed the courage to resist to the bitter end.
Wei Zhao pretended to lower his head in thought. In reality, he had begun silently reciting the formula of his cultivation art. Then, without warning, he struck.
"Raging Fire Bagua Palm, tenth form!" Wei Zhao roared as he slammed his palm toward He Tianzu.
