He Xu actually had little stake in Wan Hao's tourism project above the clouds.
Back then, Wan Hao had offered him ten percent in Dry Shares, but he hadn't dared accept—it was simply too much.
He had no desire to mysteriously die in some corner on a dark and stormy night.
Supremes were certainly exalted, but when profits were involved, certain capital interests would never hesitate to trample the rules.
So he had only symbolically asked for two percent in Dry Shares, telling Wan Hao, "I can handle small matters, but I don't want to get involved in major ones."
That was a reasonable request. Different benefits came with different responsibilities.
Besides, even two percent meant slow and steady income.
Wan Hao had still refused to agree. After a lengthy negotiation, they had settled on just three percent in Dry Shares.
But now, He Xu had decided to disregard those Dry Shares. He even felt a little fortunate about it—this was the benefit of not being greedy.
After that visit, Wan Hao's people had contacted him again, but He Xu had arranged for someone else to carry his Wristwatch.
The holder gave everyone the same answer: "His Excellency the Supreme is researching something and cannot spare the time."
Such situations were not uncommon among Supremes.
At that level, with their long lifespans, it was perfectly normal to cultivate personal hobbies, study Divine Script, and so on.
Of course, a large portion of them were pondering ways to improve their combat abilities and techniques, even seeking the path Above Supreme.
On the third night after meeting Paranoid, He Xu found two beautiful women to accompany him and played a "making babies" game.
What he did not know was that, at the same time, someone else had come to visit Paranoid.
