"Yang Ke?"

Chen Heng listened to the woman in front of him explain, and he frowned. He didn't know what to say.

He had no idea what they had talked about that day that caused the other party to make such a decision. However, it didn't matter.

This prize wasn't a huge amount for the other party's status, so it shouldn't be a big deal for her.

'At most, he would find an opportunity to return it later.'

This thought flashed through his mind, but his face remained calm. He looked at the woman, nodded to her, and said softly, "Please thank Miss Yang for me. I'm very grateful for her gift."

After a while, there were more people in the surroundings. One by one, they entered the hall and walked into the hall. Among them were some of his old acquaintances and previous opponents.

Chen Heng glanced at them, then silently turned around, wanting to leave this area. He only came to collect his prize and had nothing else to do here.

Thus, he turned around slightly and prepared to leave this area. But at this moment, someone called out to him from behind.

"Hello."

A young man strode forward and said loudly, "Are you Lu Kong?"

"Yes, I am."

Chen Heng nodded and confirmed his identity, and then, he looked at the young man behind him.

"It's you."

Looking at Chen Heng and hearing his answer, the young man heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he said, "Our manager wants to see you. May I know if you have time now? If it's possible, please wait a little longer."

"Your manager wants to see me?"

Hearing this, Chen Heng was a little surprised, but he still nodded after thinking for a while. "Sure."

He had no reason to reject. Since the manager wanted to see him, he would just go. It was not a big deal.

He turned around and walked forward, following the young man into a very spacious area. There were gorgeous and complicated buildings everywhere, with all kinds of exquisite instruments in them, which looked very expensive at a glance.

Chen Heng looked at the decorations around him and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"This is the base of our Black Dream Group, our territory within Dragon City Academy."

The young man seemed to sense Chen Heng's doubt, so he turned around as he spoke softly. A smile appeared on his face, as he seemed very proud of all of this.

However, it was also true. The energy required was beyond simple to possess such a large territory within Dragon City Academy. At least, an ordinary company couldn't do so.

Looking at the area in front of him, Chen Heng seemed deep in thought. At this time, he thought of many things and began to guess.

His manager suddenly wanted to meet him. There must be some reason behind this.

Chen Heng usually didn't have any enemies, and he had only been in this world for a short time. So, he wouldn't be a mortal enemy. He should not be seeking revenge then.

If that was not the case, it was more likely that he wanted to invest in the sponsorship, which was very normal.

After all, many people had seen Chen Heng's previous performance. Although he had lost to Yang Ke, he proved his strength and was obviously not inferior to others. Rui Te was clear proof. He lost to him previously and was still lying in the hospital.

According to the rules of this world, it seemed normal for someone to be willing to invest in a person with such an outstanding performance, especially since the other party was the organizer of this competition. That made it even more likely. It was just that he did not know what form of sponsorship the other party would offer.

Chen Heng's expression was calm as all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.

The area was very spacious, but they didn't walk for too long. Soon, they arrived at a large hall.

A woman wearing a black uniform appeared. She looked delicate and pretty.

She was sitting there, looking at Chen Heng and the young man as they walked in. Then, a smile appeared on her face.

"Welcome."

A smile quickly appeared on her face, and she said, "I was wondering if I should send someone to invite you over. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come at this time."

"It was a coincidence."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Liu Rou, the general manager of the Black Dream Group, Dragon City Academy branch."

"Hello."

Chen Heng nodded and then extended his hand. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Lu Kong."

"Student Lu."

Liu Rou smiled and nodded, looking very genial, as if she hoped to dispel the Chen Heng's nervousness.

"Frankly, before this competition, we didn't expect that there would be someone like you, Student Lu, appearing this time. Your appearance was a surprise to us."

She smiled and turned on the device beside her. On the screen, a video was displayed. It was a video recording of Chen Heng's previous battles.

The focus point was the battle with Yang Ke. Around the video, many data analyzed the power data that Chen Heng had used throughout that battle. It was highly detailed and shocking.

Chen Heng stood where he was and looked at the scene. His expression was calm, and he wasn't surprised.

In his opinion, secretly recording the data of the contestants was very normal in this world. In other words, it would be a strange thing if the organizer didn't do this. He was not surprised at all.

However, Liu Rou was observing Chen Heng's reaction. After seeing that he was not shocked, she was a little surprised. Usually, when people see such a situation, they would more or less express their surprise.

However, when she recalled Chen Heng's previous performance, she felt relieved. She smiled and continued, "As you can see, your performance is all in our eyes."

"To us, you are a genius worthy of our attention without a doubt."

She said thoughtfully, "Therefore, we hope to cooperate with you and reach a consensus. What do you think?"

"Cooperate?"

Listening to Liu Rou's words, Chen Heng frowned and then said, "Which aspect were you referring to?"

"I can try every aspect."

Liu Rou looked at Chen Heng and listened to his words, and a confident smile appeared on her face. Then, she continued, "Our group has the most comprehensive strength. We have dabbled in every field. As long as you are willing to accept our sponsorship, we can help you in every aspect and let you improve further."

"And if you are willing, we can hire the best teacher for you at any time and provide you the best service. We can also provide you with all kinds of evolution fluid and other precious materials for free."

She said with a smile, "Of course, in return, you will also need to accept our conditions and serve us for an appropriate period, in which the conditions can be negotiated."

"However, I guarantee that the conditions we offer you are the most generous as compared to others. Apart from us, it's difficult for you to find similar conditions elsewhere."

She said softly, then looked behind her. A young man strode over and took some things over behind Chen Heng.

Chen Heng looked and noticed that there were documents full of words. He looked at them and read through the clauses one by one.

During this process, Liu Rou did not disturb him and just looked at Chen Heng with a smile on her face, as if she was very confident with her conditions.

After a long while, Chen Heng raised his head, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. What Liu Rou said was right.

Indeed, based on Chen Heng's understanding, the conditions they offered were more favorable than others, and the terms offered were great in many aspects.

The primary condition was that the Black Dream Group would sponsor Chen Heng's studies at Dragon City Academy. In addition, they would also provide a fixed amount of stipend to support his daily expenses coupled with a fixed amount of reimbursement, which was quite a lot.

In other words, as long as Chen Heng was willing to sign the contract, he would no longer have to worry about the resources he needed for his practice.

Before he reached a certain level of growth, they would even send the items over to him directly. In addition, they had also offered the necessary supplements in various other aspects. It was pretty perfect.

Of course, they would not be opening the charity hall for free after giving so much, so they had also stated their conditions.

The first condition was that Chen Heng had to cooperate with them at any specific time.

For example, when the Black Dream Group wanted Chen Heng to participate in some activities, Chen Heng could not refuse without a valid reason. In addition, he also had an obligation to cooperate with them on publicity in the outside world.

These were just small parts. What made Chen Heng most concerned was a special declaration on it.

When the Black Dream Group had a special mission request, Chen Heng would have to cooperate.

"A special mission?"

Chen Heng frowned and looked at Liu Rou. "What does this mean?"

"This is a confidentiality clause."

Liu Rou listened to Chen Heng's words and explained softly, "In fact, it's not just our group, other groups also have various missions, and most of these missions involve the core secrets of the groups. Some even involve extraterrestrial forces. These missions are also why we choose to train our own Beastmasters and let them serve us.

"We can't refuse these missions?"

Chen Heng frowned and continued to ask.

Liu Rou explained, "It's not that we can't refuse. It's just that within a year, you will have to accept a few missions. Although you can't refuse some missions, you can choose not to go if there's a legitimate reason. This will be written in the terms. In addition, although you are carrying out missions, in reality, these missions are also well rewarded."

She paused, then winked at Chen Heng and said, "Maybe when you see the rewards of those missions, you'll be tempted. The rewards are not only all kinds of high-level evolution fluid, but also treasures produced in the depths of the universe, and even..."

She paused, then a smile suddenly appeared on her face. "Even Imperial Beasts are possible..."

As soon as she said that, Chen Heng paused as he was a little surprised.

Anyway, it wasn't too surprising...

In this world, although a cub was precious, it wasn't something that a large group like the Black Dream Group couldn't afford.

Based on Chen Heng's understanding, most of these large groups had already developed their businesses on other planets. Besides, many even had grasped the means to obtain a cub.

A cub was a treasure that was almost impossible to get, but it wasn't as precious to these people.

In other words, they were indeed powerful, to the extent that even such a precious thing didn't seem to value that much.

"Then..."

Chen Heng pondered for a moment, then continued to ask.

In the face of his question, Liu Rou didn't seem impatient, but she kept smiling the whole time and patiently replying.

After a long while, Chen Heng and Liu Rou walked out. The two of them had finally reached an agreement.

Chen Heng finally agreed to their conditions, which wasn't strange. Since some time ago, Chen Heng had already decided to find a place to rely on.

In this world, if there was no one to support, it was destined that one would not be able to go far. Since he had already decided to find an investor, then it naturally depended on the conditions they offered.

In other words, as long as the conditions were good enough, then it did not matter who.. He would just agree to it.
