Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes, observing the sly old man before him. The old man wanted to be friends with him and assumed he had a big future ahead. However, Tang Shaoyang could tell this meant a business deal more than anything else. If the six God Alliances mentioned earlier were involved, the old man would not stick with him, which has the opposite meaning of being a friend.
The old man wanted to be friends with the future Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang, who achieved the God Rank, not the current Tang Shaoyang. That was what the old meant by no-risk investment. It was not hard to understand the old man's stand; not something he should be upset about. That was how the world worked.
"Then you have the deal, Old Man Gortham. I will help the guild within my capability, but I will not risk my life for the guild." Tang Shaoyang agreed to the friendly deal with the Karian Guild Adventurer.
