1181 We’re Always The Realest and Liberated (2/2)
However, he decided to be wise and give up on the idea. Poaching Huang Tianfu would mean an end to the collaboration with Dynasty. On the other hand, he realized apart from his combat strength, he could not compare with Lin Huang in many aspects. At least, his charm was ahead of Lin Huang's.
Throughout the meeting, although Lin Huang only gave his opinion a few times, he would always strike with core questions every time he spoke. The three Grand Dukes would almost accept whatever he said and they genuinely respected him.
Even Zhou Tong and the other two clearly became quieter after spending three days in the meeting room.
On the last day of the meeting, Zhou Tong became more enthusiastic. He was more engaged in the collaboration than Sun Zhuo was.
As the three-day meeting ended, the first collaboration among Dynasty and the heretics was finally sealed. With the enthusiasm from both sides, the discussion was smooth, and they came up with many projects together.
After they had a celebratory dinner at Dynasty, Sun Zhuo dragged the three of them for steamboat in the middle of the night.
Sitting at the steamboat table, Sun Zhuo finally could not hold it any longer and asked, ”Why exactly were you guys so quiet throughout the three days?”
The three of them had their lips sealed.
Cao Yao was the first to speak after a while, ”Boss, do you think that we're useless? We can't do anything and we're always causing trouble.”
”Err… Not really.” Sun Zhuo was stunned and waved his hand later on. ”Why do you ask such a question?”
”Did you see how amazing the three Grand Dukes are? They're so competent. They can solve anything. They've taken care of everything even before the Emperor speaks,” Cao Ya said, ”If there are people like that in the heretics, we would definitely be so much better off than this.”
”We can't be envious of some things.” Sun Zhuo shook his head while grinning. ”Each organization has their own style. The heretics are the heretics because of you guys. If all of you are as serious as Huang Tianfu and the rest, I might pull out of the organization after staying for a month.”
”Really?” Cao Ya widened her eyes.
”Of course! That's who you are. You don't have to pretend when you're in the heretics. Nobody will judge you. Didn't you join the heretics because of this back then? This is also the founding motto of the heretics. No matter how the outside world is, no matter how the past is, and no matter how the future will be, as long as you're in the heretics, we're always the realest and most liberated.”
Zhou Tong and the other two had their eyes lit up when they heard that proclamation.
”How about you, little girl? Why have you been so quiet?” Sun Zhuo looked at Xia Yu.
”I think Lin Huang has changed so much. He was only a little guy on bronze-level three years ago. Within three years, he's totally transformed like he's a different person. Not only is there a change in his combat strength, but he's also different from who he was before. Moreover, he looks more like a boss than you do, Boss,” Xia Yu spoke her mind, ”I wonder if it's because I'm not working hard enough. Is that why he's so much farther ahead than me?”
”Don't belittle yourself, Xiao Yu. You've improved a lot throughout the three years. You got to immortal-level when you were 20, and your cultivation speed is considered fast. Fewer than 30 people in this entire world can do that. You're just comparing yourself to the wrong person. Comparing yourself with Lin Huang is simply creating trouble for yourself.
”The things that Lin Huang has gone through these three years might be more than what a person has ever done in his or her whole life. His terrifying talent and potential isn't the only factor of his growth. He's definitely killed many to achieve what he has today. The path that he's taken is so tough that most people can't imagine it. He's the only one who would know how many battles and kills he has experienced, how many times he was involved in life-and-death battles, and how many times he escaped death.”
What Zhou Tong said did not only make Xia Yu and Cao Ya fall into deep thoughts, but even Sun Zhou was looking at him in puzzlement.
”Hey, Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?” Sun Zhou could not help but prod. ”Let's not talk about you involving yourself in the collaboration today. You're even promoting Lin Huang now. Are you planning to join Dynasty?”
”B*tch, please, I joined the heretics before you did! You've got to be dreaming if you want to get me to pull out of the heretics,” Zhou Tong condemned mercilessly.
”Then, why…?”
”I'm just speaking what I think about Lin Huang. In reality, I've been observing him these few days. However, the more I observe him, the more I can't see through him, but now I understand why Huang Tianfu and the rest respect him like that, and I also roughly figured out how Dynasty developed so quickly.
”The terrifying thing isn't his combat strength and ability, or his talent and potential. It's that he has a different way of looking at issues compared to ordinary people. His perspective doesn't seemed to be restricted by this world.”
”Now that I think about it, you're right. The few questions that he asked in the meeting were a little strange, but they were pointing at the crux of the matters. And the solutions that he proposed were never heard of.” Sun Zhuo thought about it carefully and nodded.
”The reason I was enthusiastic about our collaboration with Dynasty is Lin Huang's performance. I think he might be the pioneer of a new era. Dynasty will go a long way with his leadership. Then, I thought about the heretics' current situation, so I have an interesting idea. Since we can't be a pioneer, why don't we butter up a pioneer and excel with him?”

However, Sun Zhuo fell into a long silence while frowning. He only lifted his head to look at Zhou Tong after a while. ”What if the path Dynasty goes on turns out to be a dead-end?”
Zhou Tong was stunned to hear that. He understood what Sun Zhuo meant. Nobody had done this before, so nobody knew if such a model Dynasty was adopting could last long. It seemed great now, but nobody could foresee what would happen in the future. Meanwhile, the heretics would be at a great loss as soon as something happened the closer they were with Dynasty.
”It's been over 200 years since the heretics have had any changes. I've no idea when we'll have a transformation if we miss this chance. Of course, you make the last call. I'm just giving my perspective and opinion. We'll support you no matter what your decision is in the end.”
Sun Zhuo fell into silence for a moment after hearing that. He chuckled out loud all of a sudden. ”I've no idea why I was concerned. We've already signed the agreement, but the fear of making the wrong decision came out of nowhere. However, now that I think about it, there's nothing to regret since the decision has been made. Let's just take the bet. Let's see where this sugar daddy Dynasty will bring us!”
