Jiang Chen’s hesitation didn’t surprise Sir Xiao Rather than continuing, the youth reat patience in waiting for an answer
Jiang Chen“I can’t come to a decision on that yet To be honest, I don’t know nearly as much about the Southsky Alliance as I’d like It should be the same for you You only know me superficially”
His response didn't surprise Sir Xiao either
“Haha, real geniuses are hard to recruit I was prepared for your refusal from the outset Still, I do feel a bit better with your explanation Plus, your wines have given me a rather nice impression”
“You co Chen cupped his fist
“May I ask your surna Chen was as curt as could be
