Qian Tong hadn't expected Lin Zhen to be so heartless.
Yes, he offended Lin Zhen, but in his view, disputes among martial artists are commonplace. It's somewhat of an overreaction for Lin Zhen to want to kill him just because his two sons are missing.
Although Qian Tong believed that even if it came to blows, Lin Zhen may not be his match, he himself was a Saint Level Alchemist. As long as he lived, he had a lofty status and a steady stream of money. He could enjoy many things and would not easily put himself at risk.
Thus, he believed this matter could still be negotiated, and he was quite confident.
Standing up from his seat, Qian Tong solemnly declared, "Lin Zhen, as for my previous actions, I don't want to make excuses, but I hope you would listen to my terms."
Before Lin Zhen could agree or disagree, Qian Tong pulled out a piece of parchment.
