When he heard that he would have to pay more, Gong Hai actually breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, a problem that money could solve was better than one with no room for negotiation. An opportunity like the Heavenly Venerable Inheritance was not something any amount of purple pearls could buy.
Gong Hai nodded lightly.
