Although Li Chen couldn't completely trust Zi Zhao, he still trusted him more than those guys in the conference room.
In Li Chen's eyes, Zi Zhao was simply a pure businessman.
Such a pure businessman, having invested so much with him, couldn't possibly give it up.
One could say that Zi Zhao's blatant collaboration with the Palace of the Nether King this time was essentially him going all in with his investments.
Would a businessman who has gone all in just watch his investment lose value before his eyes?
So Li Chen was relatively trusting of Zi Zhao. Moreover, after hearing from Catherine that Zi Zhao had indeed provided considerable help to the Palace of the Nether King lately, he felt even more at ease.
The stance he had just taken in the conference room was merely a performance for others to see.
Who would have thought that the Market Master Zi Zhao, known for his smooth dealings, would actually choose to place his bets on such a nascent martial artist power?
