To Be Celestial's Emperor II
The Equal Exchange
“I can explain it in detail to you, but of course the price of the information is a little more expensive it might even have to be exchanged for more valuable” Commander Starry Night smiled thinly. His gaze then turned to the group of the Origin faction led by Zhen Yuan.
Or rather the view of the Starry Night commander fell on Baisheng and the other young geniuses.
“I want to know how the alliance of the Heaven Group can find these talented young geniuses. Mastering the depth at such a young age is very rarely seen even outside the wasted islands”
“Uhuk! Commander Starry Night, this is the personal secret of the alliance of the Heaven Group. In addition I may not be entitled to explain it to you and the main island therefore please forgive us” The Island Leader said.
He realized the arrival of the four was no coincidence, they might suspect some things from the alliance and come to find out. But as the leader of the island and the leader of the alliance, he has the right to speak here.
Moreover, given his relationship between the Origin faction, he did not want to lose the respect and good looks of the former. The Rosy Down pill had made the island leader and the elders who had once eaten him addicted, even though it was not, they couldn't break away from being dependent on the Rosy Down Pill after feeling for themselves its efficacy.
The commander's face slightly changed hearing the subtle rejection from the island leader yet he quickly neutralized the mimic of his face and said with a faint smile. “Alright then, I'm not forcing. We're here anyway because we want to invite the island leader to meet the captain! There are a few things he wants to ask you”
Without waiting for the island leader's reply, the commander of Starry Night flew away leaving them at full speed. Meanwhile the three vice commanders also left after saying some things to the island leader.
“You shouldn't be too hard on the commander of Starry Night. He had never gotten a rejection even the island leader had never rejected it. You must have offended him. But the rice has become porridge, there is no regret that changes the situation. You should behave as you used to when meeting with the Captain, we just want to ask a few things and there is no compulsion if you are not stubborn” said the third vice captain.
“Son, you should not show full strength when tournament elder” third vice-captain also glanced at Zhen Yuan and advised him.
“It also if anyone can make me use full power” Zhen Yuan laughs in his heart.
They immediately rested after arriving at the prepared surroundings, Zhen Yuan actually wanted to walk-around but a senior executive came and said if the island leader was waiting for him.
“Alright lead the way” Zhen Yuan did not have the slightest bit of nervousness, he followed the senior executive towards the largest residence where the island leader lived. The senior executive who escorted Zhen Yuan was quite new and did not know the relationship between the two therefore he felt shocked by Zhen Yuan's composure, as if the boy had only gone to meet someone of little importance.
In a large residence, the island leader only occupied a small tenement room. It was filled by a teak mattress with some white curtains and also a round tea table in the middle complete with a teapot that was still steaming.
He was currently at a loss to think about whether to accept a banquet from the island captain or not. If it had been in the past perhaps the island leader would have agreed to it without hesitation. But now he has to consider some very important things.
“While they won't force me to tell you what's going on then they might see me with something new. Disobedience and obedience is the root of betrayal, even if I have no such intention they will still conclude it.”
What the island leader did not know was that the main island was currently getting stronger leaving the other island because of something like this. Any thing that could benefit them, the main island would call them and ask to tell them so that they could also use them.
That was why he summoned Zhen Yuan for some matters. He could not allow the status of the Heaven Group island to no longer be neutral in the eyes of the main island. If Zhen Yuan agreed then he could give some good things without revealing them to the public.
