After hearing Xiangzhi's answer, Lu Yin laughed. "Give me ten. Don't tell me you haven't developed them yet. I'd already reached an agreement with Yu Mu before: he would give me one. But you were in such a hurry to deal with him, so now the task falls to you."

"Ten? Impossible. Even if we had developed them, there's no way we'd give you ten," Xiangzhi flatly refused.

Lu Yin nodded. "Fine. Then I'll make sure everyone knows the words 'Star Source Pill' and turn Three Leaf Clover Company into the center of attention across the entire universe. And I don't mean just the Fifth Continent."

Xiangzhi's pupils contracted. "One. I can give you one at most. That's already the limit."

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and considered it. "Three."

Xiangzhi took a deep breath. "All right."

"I'm at the Giant Consortium. Send them here." With that, Lu Yin ended the call. His expression changed, no longer so casual. He had deliberately said that Three Leaf Clover Company had dealt with Yu Mu, and Xiangzhi hadn't denied it. She had admitted it instinctively. He was certain Yu Mu had died at their hands—but how had they managed it?

A sudden sense of unease gripped Lu Yin. He immediately contacted Duan Baiwang again, asking him to send over every detail about Yu Mu's death and continue investigating the cause. He had to uncover the truth behind Yu Mu's death. Otherwise, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Meanwhile, at Three Leaf Clover Company's headquarters in Headquarters Great World, Xiangzhi ended her call with Lu Yin. Her angry expression vanished at once, replaced by her usual icy look. "If you want them, I'll give them to you. But we'll see whether you live long enough to use them."
