Floating Furnace hesitated to speak. He didn't know what to say because, technically, he wasn't instructed to give the dragon some time to make the decision to join the sect.
The sect had actually given a week's time to track and hunt the dragon. So he could give the dragon some of that time to think. He just didn't know if this was allowed, so he was hesitating to give a reply.
But Forced Exchange had no such qualms and was quick to answer. The sleezy rank 6 money cultivator smiled and said, "Of course. It is only right that you have time to think about it. Take all of the time you want."
He said that as if he were a generous person. Meanwhile, he was also frantically calling for reinforcements from his alliance.
There was a smile on his face, but inwardly, he was urging the people of the Thorn House of Commerce, saying, "It is a true dragon. I can swear it on my life. Come quickly before it joins the sect or gets taken by other people."
