"A part-time coach?"
Tao Yu let out a light laugh.
Although he only needed to come back once a month and spend five days for targeted guidance, Tao Yu was unimpressed by the salary they offered.
Didn’t they know that, after he helped Treya complete the beginner level of "The Compassionate Sword Scripture", he could cancel out two million in debt?
The price of ten thousand Yuan Force per hour when on duty, though considered pretty good, didn’t pique Tao Yu’s interest.
"You can also gain the friendship of the Dikaron Family, and the other shareholders in the dojo."
Feng Te Dikaron said confidently.
"You know, even if you set up a base in the State Capital, you can only set up in places like this. If Mr. Tao is willing to teach, gaining our friendship, then perhaps in the future you might be able to take root here."
It sounded tempting and seemed to align with the Suns’ interests.
But Tao Yu just scoffed inwardly.
Dangling a carrot, who doesn’t know how to do that?
Once he’d finished teaching and their own coaching system was up and running, wouldn’t they just toss him aside?
Helping the Suns take root here?
Impossible...
If it were that easy to take root, Starshine Company wouldn’t be unable to settle in the State Capital even now.
After all, if the other party reneged later, without any foundation, he would just have to suffer the loss in silence.
"That’s a nice proposal, but sorry, I’m too busy for that."
"As I’ve said before, we know your main effort is on the Development Zone, so we only need..."
Before Feng Te could finish, Tao Yu interrupted him with a laugh.
"I work hard at the Development Zone and then I should work hard again when I come back for a few days of rest? Have you gone mad?"
Tao Yu’s words left Feng Te bewildered, at a loss for a comeback.
Yeah, what’s wrong with someone resting and enjoying themselves?
Ah, this...
Isn’t that something to consider only after reaching the limits of one’s talent and finding no further path for advancement?
You’ve awakened for less than two years, the time when you should be pushing yourself to the limit.
Having said this, Tao Yu was ready to close the window, which made Feng Te hastily speak up in a deep voice,
"Mr. Tao should reconsider more carefully, this is after all the State Capital!"
The window Tao Yu was about to close paused, and then he looked through the gap that remained at Feng Te outside and smiled,
"Mr. Feng Te, are you representing the Dikaron Family in threatening me personally, or threatening the Suns?"
"It’s merely a friendly suggestion from me, based on my personal strength and status,"
Feng Te frowned but continued in a firm tone.
The Dikaron Family is strong, but are the Suns weak?
He couldn’t possibly represent his family in burning bridges over such a minor issue, that would be madness.
However, as a World Breaker, banking on his personal strength was an entirely different matter!
It reminded him of the recent rumors that the head of the Beast Tamer family might have been assassinated by the ever-vindictive Mr. Tao.
Wow~
So, Feng Te came over, found out he couldn’t win, bowed his head, paid compensation, and left. It seemed like the normal thing to do.
Otherwise, he might get knocked off with a club by this spiteful guy at night.
"I can only pass it on. Please do as you see fit, Mr. Feng Te."
"Thank you."
Feng Te of the Dikaron Family also felt somewhat speechless at this point. He came over all high and mighty, only for things to end like this.
The strike he had just received seemed mixed with a psychic attack and might have caused some backlash to the opponent, but the attack was too fast. It even directly broke through the Domain, and using it in a stealth attack would be overwhelmingly advantageous.
Well, just take the loss...
"But the potential of the Inner Power System is indeed significant... sigh, I should find a way to arrange for some people to go learn it. This thing is not easy to deal with..."
Rubbing his still throbbing temples, Feng Te left in a disheveled state, his clothes looking like rags...
...
"Stingy."
Tao Yu accepted the thirty thousand Yuan Force and curled his lip.
But he wouldn’t really go around clubbing people at night. He mainly needed to keep a low profile in the State Capital.
He took action just as a warning not to bother him for no reason. The degree still had to be managed well.
Now it could all be considered over. Both sides had found a way to step down.
And it was at this moment that Treya finally came back.
After all, she had to manage the RDA base, which definitely required some arrangements.
Looking at the intelligence from the new Development Zone, Starshine City was doing the best, already expanding its influence into the surrounding areas.
Unlike the State Capital, if it weren’t for the teleportation devices bringing in some powerful figures, the Goblins would have nearly wiped them out.
Every time Tao Yu thought of this intelligence, he found it rather amusing.
"Phew, you finally found some time. Otherwise, I would have thought my money was wasted."
Treya came back and took off her outer jacket, tossing it aside, revealing a white open-collar shirt that outlined a rather impressive figure.
"Having you spend an extra month getting familiar with the flow of Inner Strength will be beneficial for what comes next."
Treya didn’t contest Tao Yu’s words but began to undo her tie while asking,
"What’s your method, anyway?"
"You’ll know soon enough. Go take a shower first,"
Stay tuned with novelhall.Co?m
Tao Yu said, looking at the tie and speaking with a subtly odd expression.
"Huh?"
"Go on, don’t ask. Lie down later and I’ll press on you a bit, guiding with True Qi. Keep the tie on, you’ll need to hang it up later..."
Tao Yu’s words made Treya pause with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? Why keep the tie on?"
"Forget it, just go take that bath. You’ll sweat anyway. Come on, lie down and brace yourself..."
