From the very beginning, Chen Changan had felt that something was wrong with the Outsider Alliance's way of doing things.
They were all outsiders, yet the Alliance had acted high and mighty from the start, throwing its weight around.
Even after learning about his abilities and strength, they hadn't changed their attitude at all.
They claimed they wanted to recruit him, but in truth, they still didn't take Chen Changan seriously.

"Uh... no."
"Then are you staying here until I invite you to dinner?"
"Would you invite me?"
"I'll invite you to leave."
"I'm off, then."
"Don't let me stop you!"

"Big brother, everyone else has something to do. What about us?"
"The Heavenly Pride Ranking won't open for nearly two years, will it?"
"Are we just going to sit here staring at each other?"
"How about we go out and... look around?"
Look around?
Chen Changan himself wasn't sure what
