Lin Li grabbed the wooden box, but didn't open it immediately. Instead, he placed it on the table, and said, "Mr. William, although I said that the formula may or may not be genuine, and I don't know if the potion can be prepared according to the instructions of the formula, there is always a possibility. Since I don't have anything on now, let's assume that the formula is genuine, and talk about the cooperation that you mentioned. Do you have some ideas already?"
Lin Li was a very straightforward person. If William had been his enemy, he would have immediately killed him and snatched the formulas away without feeling a sense of guilt. However, he decided to act appropriately since William was rather polite. In order to earn the respect of others, one would first have to respect others too. Lin Li would respect whoever respected him.
