Going back a few minutes, when Johan and Simon left the Heavenly Palace and got into their carriage. The silence inside the carriage lasted only a few minutes until they had driven away from the Heavenly Palace, then Simon said, "Master, wasn't making that proposal arousing their mistrust of us?"
Johan did not answer immediately. He was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Honestly, I didn't want to get on their bad side, so I decided that, if they accepted my proposal, I would just go along with it, but if they refused then I could just snatch the formulas for those products from them."
"And what was the decision?" asked Simon again, although he already knew the answer. Johan was aware that his butler knew the answer, but still replied, "Although they compromised to some extent, they already see us as enemies, so send some spies to see if they can infiltrate."
