Han Sen made a silent gesture to Lan Se . Qiao picked up the phone .
Qiao answered the call at dinner because it was Hardman calling . Everyone knew what he’d be calling for . Qiao didn’t want Han Sen to get any confusion or doubts, however, so she answered the phone right there in front of him . She didn’t let Hardman know that Lan Se was there with them, too .
“President Qiao, can you talk?” Hardman was worried about Han Sen possibly being there .
He thought he had offended Han Sen, and that Han Sen wouldn’t agree to any repurchase . So, he thought to get to him through Qiao .
“Yes, you may speak,” Qiao answered .
Hardman didn’t beat around the bush . He directly told her, “Qiao, I want Han Sen back . How about I double the money you gave me, in exchange for him?”
“Manager Hard, I only have one person in my employ . Giving me money doesn’t solve the issue of having that number reduced to zero . ” Qiao looked at Han Sen and smiled .
Hardman gritted his teeth and decided to raise the price . “Okay, triple . ”

“Manager Hard, this isn’t a monetary issue . No matter how much money you give me, I will not be able to find anyone to replace Han Sen . My team needs to go on . ” Qiao’s face didn’t change, and she remained smiling .
That meant she was telling Hardman that Han Sen was not for sale . It didn’t matter how much money she was offered .
Hardman looked glum, so he decided to play his final card . “President Qiao, how about I quadruple the price you paid me . And I’ll find you another Baron to replace him, with abilities that can equal Han Sen’s . On top of that, he’ll be loaned out to you for three years . ”
Qiao and Lan Se thought this was very strange . The offer was extremely good .
Han Sen thought this was normal . He actually thought Hardman was being too cheap and still offering far too little .
Qiao said, “Manager Hard, you should know Han Sen has used a xenogeneic weapon . It does not belong to him, and if he leaves Wizard, he will have to return it . Knowing this, do you still wish to buy him?”
“Yes . ” Hardman gritted his teeth . He really had to buy Han Sen to please the third master . If he didn’t, things would go poorly . He had to buy him back through any means necessary, even if that meant dipping into his own pockets .
“I am so sorry . I can see your sincerity, but I cannot sell him,” Qiao said firmly .

Hardman looked ill, but he still went on with his plight . He said, “Qiao, don’t reject me just yet . At least sleep on the prospect . You said Han Sen relies on a xenogeneic weapon, and he can’t fight xenogeneics otherwise . If something went wrong, he’d die . He is not a Noble, and he won’t level up to slay higher tier xenogeneics . The Baron I can lend to you will be a different story entirely . Plus, with the money you’ll be given, you could assemble a great team . Even if you keep him for now, do you really think Han Sen will stay with Wizard two years down the line, when the contract is up?”
“Manager Hard, I am sorry . Han Sen is not for sale . ” Qiao spoke with seriousness .
“There is no need to answer me yet . Again, you should think about it . And if the price still isn’t enough, there is plenty more we can discuss . Think about it first . Think about it . We can talk more another time . ” Hardman’s heart was bleeding .
After the call, Qiao turned to speak to Han Sen . “You heard what he has to say . What are your plans and thoughts? I would like to keep you, but if you do want to switch, I won’t force you to stay where you do not wish to . ”
Han Sen smiled and said, “I don’t have too much to offer Black Gold . Plus, I’m lazy . I can’t be bothered moving . ”
Qiao looked very happy when she heard that . She raised up her cup for a toast and said, “Han Sen, I may not be able to promise you much right now, but the one promise I can make is that, while I live, I will strive to make Wizard the best it can be . ”
“Let us drink in the hopes of a brighter tomorrow . ” Lan Se raised up her cup as well .
“Cheers!” The glasses chinked against each other, a symbol of the promise .

Han Sen didn’t want to go to Black Gold because of his relationship with Qiao . He did admire her, but he also thought staying in Wizard meant greater freedom . Black Gold was locked down with too many rules, and since Han Sen had a lot of private stuff he wished to dive into, he thought he would be better off where he was .
Han Sen brought the ruby-looking muscle to his room for investigation .
The thing looked far prettier than any hunk of beef . It was hard, but the fat and the meat looked as soft as snow . It made people want to cook it like a good steak . Merely thinking of this, Han Sen’s mouth began to drool .
When he tried to pull it apart, he couldn’t . The Rhino Horn Dagger would only leave light marks across it And even if he could cut through it, he’d be unable to fry it .
“What is changing the mutated materials when I boil them? Surely there is more to the process than water in a pot . Something has to be affecting the materials . If I can figure out what that is, perhaps I can enjoy it like proper food . ” Han Sen was going to take a while to think it over this time instead of boiling it immediately .
Over the next few days, there was little to do . Aside from practicing, he was researching how to eat xenogeneics . As he did, he discovered something of note .
Han Sen did not find out what affected the xenogeneic genes, but he learned something quite interesting .
He tried cooking the Violent Ape’s meat in a fire . As he did, he noticed that the muscle’s texture was changing, almost as if it was thawing out
The ruby texture melted into the fire, and the gemstone-like item began to transform into normal meat .
It was the same as throwing the meat into water . The materials looked like they were frozen, but after a good boil, they began to look like fine cuts of meat .
Han Sen knew this couldn’t be a normal process for Planet Kate . If this was the way things always worked, the beings in this universe should have discovered the process before . There was no way he was the first to try cooking a xenogeneic’s material .
Han Sen still didn’t know what was causing the changes, but he wasn’t too worried about it . At least he could now enjoy it as meat and not as some lame soup .
Han Sen found a frying pan and got some seasoning . He placed the thawed meat on the pan, and cut it into a few slices of a good steak . He threw the seasoning on and started to cook it
“This is how people should live . ” Han Sen placed the cooked meat in his mouth and chewed . The juice and seasoning filled his mouth, and the tastiness almost made Han Sen moan .
