Youwin did not give Gu Hang a direct response, claiming he needed to return and discuss the matter with his battle brothers.
In reality, that wasn't the case.
Youwin's prestige within the battle group was significant, and Blood Shark didn't have things like a Council of Elders, veteran groups, secret gatherings, or inner circles—what he said went.
However, in this particular matter, there were many things he hadn't yet figured out. He needed the opinions of some veterans and squad leaders for reference, and additional time to fully understand Gu Hang's proposal.
His extensive experiences over his prolonged lifespan had taught him that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
The conditions proposed by Gu Hang, even including elements that challenged the traditions of the battle group, were undeniably generous.
He also believed that the strength demonstrated by the Alliance was capable of fulfilling Gu Hang's promises.
