"The cultivation chamber and resources needed for your breakthrough have been prepared." Grand Elder Rowan said. "You can go and begin right now if you want."
"I'll do that. Thank you, Grand Elder." Max gratefully nodded.
"No need for thanks." Grand Elder Rowan said, taking a sip from his wine cup, "You are not getting them for free. If you accept them, you'll have to enter the top three Silver Rankings within a month. Otherwise, I'll have you pay double or triple the amount by doing my bidding."
"..."
Max's grateful smile froze on his face.
Tch!
He inwardly clicked his tongue, 'And here I thought he was doing this because he was impressed by my genius or perhaps because of my Valiant Ancestor.'
"Take your time. There is no hurry to decide." Grand Elder Rowan said, seeing him fall silent, indirectly urging him.
"I accept, Grand Elder." said Max without thinking.
