Chapter 1582 - 1582 Someone Wants to Kill You

1582 Someone Wants to Kill You

The agreement seemed to be very good on the surface.

Chu Nan participated in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s research project on the teleportation door. The Noctem Chamber of Commerce paid Chu Nan the corresponding reward. Moreover, these rewards were very generous. Apart from the direct monetary reward, they would also give Chu Nan a series of preferential policies in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, allowing him to obtain the top-notch services in any industry under the Noctem Chamber of Commerce in the Milky Way in the future.

In fact, the agreement even indicated that Chu Nan could obtain an important researcher position in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s Earth Federation Branch. Moreover, it was clear that this position was similar to the president and chief researcher of the Earth Federation Branch in the Chamber of Commerce. Like a special guest, it was extremely special and enjoyed the corresponding special treatment.

From the looks of it, this agreement was naturally very good for Chu Nan.

He could rely on this to become an important researcher of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention becoming an important figure in the Earth Federation from now on, he would also become a relatively important member in the entire Noctem Chamber of Commerce.

However, the key problem with this agreement was this “becoming a member of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce”.

The agreement stipulated that from the day he participated in the research project, Chu Nan would become an official employee of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. Apart from enjoying the special treatment of an employee, he had to consider the interests of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and not have an excessive relationship with any other faction.

This “other faction” did not only refer to the Declan Empire, but also the Earth Federation.

Most importantly, there was no clear time on this agreement. It only indicated that the agreement would end “until the teleportation door research project ends”.

However, who knew when this research project would end? It was even more likely that even if the research was successful, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce would not clearly say that it was successful.

As long as they continued to use this excuse, Chu Nan would still be a member of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and still have to work for them.

After seriously reading the agreements, Chu Nan could not help but shake his head.

The Declan Empire had used him to secretly learn the Exterminating Heart Technique and force him to admit his engagement to Princess Viennelle to tie him to the carriage of the Declan royal family. The Noctem Chamber of Commerce had used a huge benefit temptation to restrict him.

The methods of these two factions in the Milky Way were different, but their goal was the same. They both wanted to monopolize him.

From this point, these two factions had clearly spent a lot of effort in his competition. They might even have fought with each other in private a few times. However, the Declan Empire attacked faster and because Prince Lekas had interacted with Chu Nan for a longer time and understood him relatively better, the direction of his attack was more accurate.

“I won’t sign this agreement.” Chu Nan retracted his gaze from the virtual screen and shook his head at Elkart, “I don’t like to become anyone’s tool. It’s not a problem for me to help study the teleportation door, but I don’t want to sell myself to you.”

Elkart smiled as if he was not surprised by Chu Nan’s rejection.

He directly closed his personal terminal and smiled, “Heh, Chu Nan, you don’t have to show so much hostility to me. I’m only representing the headquarters to propose such an agreement to you. I’ve already severely criticized their thoughts in the headquarters meeting, but those old men ignored my opinion.”

Chu Nan was silent. He had already clearly expressed his attitude. In front of a person like Elkart, there was naturally no need to waste any time.

“Alright, I’ll tell the headquarters your words word for word. Unfortunately…” Elkart sighed, “If you’re willing to sign this agreement, we’ll become true colleagues and companions in the future. We can have a lot of time to communicate and share beautiful thoughts about our special brain. However, since you don’t agree, I won’t persuade you, because it’s meaningless.”

Elkart pointed at his head again.

“Protect yourself. Although I’m certain that the Declan Empire doesn’t really want to kill you, those royal Declan Clansmen who came to challenge you might not think so. If you’re really killed by them, it’ll be a huge loss to our Chamber of Commerce, or even to all the humans in the entire Milky Way.”

Chu Nan could not help but laugh, “You’re exaggerating.”

“No, no, it’s not exaggerated at all. The research of the teleportation door can be said to be the most important research that concerns the entire human race after the spatial jump research. You’re the key figure in this research, so your death is naturally the most serious loss. Unfortunately, these barbaric fellows from the Declan Empire can’t recognize this key. They’re still trying to take your life for their ancient but laughable tradition and honor. It’s really sad.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t die so easily.” Chu Nan shrugged.

“Of course, I believe in your strength.” Elkart patted Chu Nan’s shoulder and his expression suddenly became serious, “However, you have to be careful. The royal family of Declan is not united. Many people want to see Prince Lekas make a fool of himself and also want to grab every opportunity to attack His Majesty Gremayne. Therefore, they will definitely choose their strongest opponent to challenge you and try to kill you.”

Chu Nan grinned, “Is that so? I welcome it very much.”

Seeing the expression on Chu Nan’s face, Elkart smiled and did not say anything else before turning to leave.

He came quickly and left quickly. A moment later, he disappeared into the distance with the low-altitude floating shuttle that belonged to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.

Looking in the direction he disappeared, Chu Nan touched his chin and could not help but laugh.

Elkart seemed to be wasting time coming to find him this time, but it answered many of Chu Nan’s questions.

The reason why he was captured by the Declan Empire this time and caused such a bunch of inexplicable trouble was indeed unrelated to his personal strength. The teleportation door was the key.

The Declan Empire and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce clearly realized the importance of the teleportation door. Or perhaps, they had long realized this problem. It was only Chu Nan’s appearance that gave them a chance to study it further.

Prince Lekas had always been with Chu Nan in the Endless Abyss and knew this the best. Therefore, as soon as Chu Nan arrived on Planet Lantis, he immediately attacked and even used Princess Viennelle to try and firmly control him.

The reaction of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce was a little slow. Now, they could only passively think of other ways to deal with Chu Nan.

If Chu Nan had signed that agreement earlier, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce could have a very unyielding reason to interfere. However, he rejected it. When Elkart returned, they would probably have a headache.

“Heh, I didn’t expect me to unexpectedly have such a powerful value.” Chu Nan lowered his head to look at his palm. With a thought, a small spatial energy gathered. A moment later, it turned into the same spatial structure as the teleportation door in the Endless Abyss.

In the few days he was locked in, he studied tirelessly every day and could easily simulate a teleportation door.

This was his greatest magic treasure now. If necessary, he could completely break through the space and escape according to the simulated teleportation door.

He believed that this technology was unique. Even surrounded by Star-Grade Martial Artists, he was absolutely confident in escaping.

This was also his greatest reliance after being obediently locked in prison these few days and not thinking of escaping. Instead, he used an even more laborious method to prove himself.
