Alas, when Zhou Tian had mentioned the possibility of defecting to the opposition, it was only a ploy; even if Zhou Tian was to be killed, there was no chance he would actually switch sides. Thus, the inquiry from that powerful individual was doomed from the start to yield no results.
"I'm not saying I can't join you, but you've got to give me some time to think, right? After all, this isn't a trivial matter. If I don't consider it carefully, what if I end up regretting it later?"

Zhou Tian had employed this tactic before to gain precious time from that strong individual. However, this time around when he tried to employ the same old trick, the response from the strong one emphatically informed Zhou Tian that his plans were unlikely to come to fruition at this moment.
