Since Aster said he had two reasons to pay them a visit and the first one was social, it was safe to assume the second wasn't.
And Tanner's assumption was confirmed after Aster continued with his explanation.
"The second reason I came here was to invite the Barbarian Heart sect to enter in an alliance with the Terranova sect, nothing too complicate, I want to open a distribution channel for materials from the Veluri star cluster to be exported to the Rodia star cluster…".
"Bullshit!", before Aster could continue, Simon smacked his hand on the table and then stood up.
"What can the Rodia star cluster offer our Barbarian Heart sect in exchange for the materials we risk our lives for, everything there must be even worse than the star tribulation realm, do you think we are going to let you take advantage of our sect!", he shouted as he directed his pressure at Aster.
