Wrong.
Damien practically emptied his entire inventory, but the Golden Dragon Emperor remained unimpressed throughout the entire showing.
It didn't matter even if Damien pulled out a rare Demigod inheritance that had been unseen for a hundred thousand years, in the Emperor's eyes, it was trash!
It became clear that material trade was going nowhere. Damien needed to provide something far more substantial than just resources.
A thought came to mind.
"What if…I become Astoria's tutor?" He suddenly said.
The Golden Dragon Emperor finally showed a change of expression, raising his brow in curiosity.
"Oh? Go on." He proclaimed with interest.
Actually, Damien was rationalizing it at the same time as the Emperor, so all he did was voice his thought process.
