"Why?"
Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment and then said without hesitation, "I certainly know this, Mr. Ye gave me these so that I could successfully join the Star Alliance."
"Hmm."
His mother first nodded calmly and then posed another question.
"And after joining the Star Alliance, you will still need the Dragon Sleep Stone and the herbs, won't you? Then why would they give it to you at that time?"
"Uh… Mr. Ye said today that he wanted to make contributions to the Star Alliance…"
Zhang Xiaoman started to explain but couldn't continue.
His lips moved slightly as he began to recall the events of the day. The whole process seemed flawless, but under his mother's questioning, he felt something was off, yet couldn't quite put his finger on it.
