Wayne Goldsmith's face purposefully took on a troubled look, "The share of Time Stones produced in the Celestial Dungeon is limited, and almost all must be put into various research institutes for project research. Being able to spare thirty stones is already quite difficult."
David Jones glanced at the neatly arranged Time Stones on the table.
He knew in his heart that any talk of limited shares was just an excuse.
The Goldsmiths could send twenty Time Stones just to make an apology, and, simply put, it was because he was unwilling to cooperate with the Goldsmiths that they chose to suppress the supply of Time resources at the source, using it to knock him down a peg.
"Fifty Time Stones plus one Cosmos Stone should be enough!" After a moment of hesitation, David Jones chose not to bring up the matter of cooperation again.
