Chapter 421: Negotiations 3!

After Lyra Talon left the room, Zarek Talon spoke "Well, let's continue our discussion... MrTian. we were talking about how this will drain your star."

"A fair concern, Mr.Tian. But rest assured, the resources we require are a small price to pay for the safety and prosperity we offer in return."

"Ebon Luohe has overseen the rise of many worlds like yours, guiding them to greatness. We do not seek to strip your star bare, but to cultivate it—to help it realize its full potential as a high star."

"But it will all be done in the name of Ebon Luohe, just like an Emperor having many kingdoms under him."

"We will take good care of that and protect it, but you just have to pay tax to the Emperor."

Zhao Tian frowned slightly and he was really pleased by the offer, and... he has no reason to refuse it.

But right now, he is just trying to milk if he can get any other generous offers from this star.

He knows that he is asking for too much and Zarek Talon, who is obviously a powerhouse doesn't have to listen to him, who has not even stepped into the Emyreal realm.

However, Zarek Talon is still calm and respects his decisions and Zhao Tian doesn't even respect him properly...

This left him wonder, is the Ebon Luohe Emperor too generous and kind-hearted for letting a weak man like him speak against him or...

Is he afraid of this woman beside him?

He was sure it was the latter...

Sorion Kalen was increasingly getting frustrated seeing Zhao Tian's reluctance and his Emperor had to sit and talk this out.

With a thoughtful look, Zhao Tian spoke "The situation in the star is quite complicated."

Zarek Talon gave a nod "Hm, I am all ears."

Zhao Tian began to explain, how normal humans were not aware of this thing called 'cultivation' till now.

And because of the sudden astral beasts' wave, the star evolved into a High star and of course, he hid about the barriers sucking astral energy till now.

Artoria Evelyne knows, that though a star meets all requirements for ascension... at the end, it is decided by the heavens if it wants to ascend or not.

'And this time the heavens have ascended the star where the Honoured One was residing...'

After hearing the explanation, Zhao Tian nodded his head and glanced at Zarek Talon "So Mr.Zarek, you might have already guessed... people in the star are awakening as cultivators."

"But there are very less cultivators, so we need people from your star to aid the new cultivators... and we also need resources like cultivation scrolls, pills, weapons and many other things."

"And want you to teach about your technology to the people of my star."

Hearing the demands, Sorion Kalen's jaw almost dropped 'T-This... This guy is just asking too much. What the hell?'

'We are already providing protection from other stars and from space pirates. And this brat is asking too much... greedy bastard.'

Zarek Talon felt a cold stare on him and he already knew who it was.

With a 'warm' smile he spoke "Haha, sure... Mr.Tian, after all, your star is special and speaking with you... I already consider you as my friend."

"So of course we can do that for your star..."

Seeing his face, Zhao Tian laughed in his heart, and both of them stood from their seats as they shook their hands, sealing the deal.

Keeping his smile, Zhao Tian spoke "If there are any other requests, I will tell Mr.Zalek in the future...."

Again feeling the cold stare, Zalek Talon sighed in his heart 'We are not the ones exploiting him. he is the one exploiting us...'

"Yeah, sure.. Mr.Tian, it was a pleasure meeting you..."

Zhao Tian retracted his hand and spoke "Then I am taking my leave Mr.Zalek for now. I need to convey the good news to other people in the star."

However at this time, Artoria Evelyne intervened "Wait, Mr.Zhao Tian... I still have some things to talk with you."
