Edward's thoughts were indeed aligned with this; he truly admired Chu Meng. As an opponent, he wanted to use honorable means to destroy Chu Meng's commercial empire. Before that, he disdained resorting to underhanded tactics. That's why Edward offered this condition; if it were someone else, he wouldn't bother with so many words and would directly take action.
"I'm not interested in seeking your help. You should solve your own problems first. Producing the RT Energy Box without resolving various issues is something only a madman like you would do. Don't tell me you're unaware of these problems. Heaven sees what people do; you'll soon reap what you sow." Upon hearing what Edward said, Chu Meng shook her head and immediately replied. She had nothing more to say to a hero like Edward. Confidence is good, but too much of it becomes arrogance, and Edward was exactly like that.
