Zebert couldn't use this bargaining chip to play cards anymore.
He had no choice but to forcibly interrupt the second meeting about the Star Devouring Cosmos.
Afterwards, he called in Gu Hang, and the two held another secret discussion.
This time, he directly showed an angry attitude, questioning repeatedly.
Gu Hang responded meekly, offering explanations.
The gist was that he also didn't know what the Martian Sect was planning.
In a sense, what Gu Hang said was indeed the truth.
However, Zebert certainly didn't believe him.
Gu Hang skipped over the topic, bringing up the previously mentioned conditions again.
His attitude was humble, yet he didn't concede an inch.
Zebert told him to get lost.
Gu Hang promptly left.
Then came the third meeting a week later.
No results.
Once it ended, Zebert called Gu Hang over again, and they talked in detail for an hour.
Later, he privately conversed with various figures from the Martian Sect for a long time.
