บท 2533: I’m Only Short of the Initial Funding!

"Li Linghai had never really trusted me, no more than she ever trusted you. It was just a deal. I made her an offer that she could not refuse."

Holding his arms, Li Yao licked his lips and said with an enticing voice, "Money, glittering coins, astronomical resources, immeasurable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures… The government-in-exile of the Star Ocean Republic is short of many things, but money is certainly not among them!

"However Li Linghai hated the Cultivators, she did not hate the Cultivators' money. It required money either to overthrow the four families or to reestablish order in the Imperium. In the new order of the new Imperium, it would still take money for her to fight for the supreme power with the 'allies' like you. Was there any reason for her not to cooperate with me?"

"Fair enough."
