The Li Family was tempted.
After all, the Eternal Life Project wasn't exactly a core secret to them. In terms of importance, it didn't even compare to their secret research on floating cars. Now that it had caused such a massive mess, trading related intelligence for an Extraordinary Armament seemed like a good deal no matter how you looked at it.
As for dealing with the trouble from the Blood Race and the Abyss Church... the Li Family didn't give it much thought. If the Star Association had said it, that would be one thing. But Zhou Chen was just one man; a single tree cannot make a forest. It was impossible for him alone to influence the underlying situation in Hong City. Still, just as he'd said, one more person meant that much more Power...
The transaction went very smoothly. Once Elder Li saw the logic in it, he readily sent someone to give Zhou Chen the relevant files on the Eternal Life Project. It wasn't a huge amount—just enough to fill a large cardboard box.
