Chapter 740: Chapter 740 – Transaction
Facing Chen Heng, the old man did not conceal his admiration for him and even directly invited him, while Kana beside him seemed a little surprised.
Before this, the old man expressed his admiration for Mr. Kling and even wanted to recruit him into the organization. However, the old man’s current reaction was still too attentive. Kana had never seen the elder behave like this in the past.
“Hmm…” Chen Heng’s face revealed some hesitation in the face of the old man’s invitation as if he was also slightly surprised by the old man’s invitation, “What exactly do you want to do?”
The old man was not surprised by Chen Heng’s hesitation, as it was normal for a young man to face a sudden opportunity to hesitate. However, nonetheless, he was confident that he could make Chen Heng choose to agree.
“What we want to do is another matter. The important thing is what you can do and get out of it.” Then, the old man said, looking at Chen Heng with an amiable smile, “What do you get in the end by following Prince Alan? A noble position? Powerful strength? Or a powerful weapon? How can he give them to you when he doesn’t even have these things?”
The old man shook his head, “You won’t get anything from Prince Alan. It’s just a waste of your talent.”
“So what if I join you? Can I get these things easily?” Chen Heng was very disdainful and doubted the old man’s words.
“Of course.” The old man smiled and solemnly replied, “Our power is beyond your imagination. You can use your ability to get what you want here, as long as you want. A noble identity, powerful power, and weapons or even…” At the end of his speech, he paused and then said with a smile, “Even if it’s a more powerful bloodline, we can also give it to you.”
“A more powerful bloodline?” Chen Heng paused as if puzzled and said, “How are you going to help me with that?”
“Although bloodlines are born, they are not fixed.” The old man maintained his smile as he looked at Chen Heng and said softly, “In this world, there are many ways to change a person’s acquired bloodline.
For example, improving the bloodline in the body by bathing in the bloodline of a powerful lifeform or with the help of the ancestors’ baptism. The King’s Council is an absolute expert in this regard. Therefore, if you are willing to join, I can guarantee you will immediately have a chance to improve.
The Sun’s bloodline in your body will improve even further when the time comes. So you can re-establish the former Sun Royal Family and let your ancestors’ prestige return to this world. Isn’t this what you want?” He looked at Chen Heng and said in a low and seductive tone.
The old man said what the noble families of this world yearned for the most— to elevate the bloodline in their bodies and reinvigorate their ancestors’ reputation. Countless noble families in the past have used various methods to achieve this goal, thinking of ways to strengthen their descendants’ bloodline so they could obtain greater power.
As expected, Chen Heng was a little shaken. He stood silently for a long time, thinking about this proposal’s pros and cons. Kana smiled, looking at this scene. As expected, no one could reject such a temptation.
How could the King’s Council recruit so many talents? Other than their strength, it was also because they had the best talent cultivation mechanism, which could provide the greatest improvement for these selected geniuses. It was precisely why the King’s Council could grow and maintain such great strength in the long run.
In the past, many geniuses took the initiative to join because of the opportunity in the King’s Council. Therefore, it was expected that Kling would do the same.
However, the final situation surprised Kana.
“I’m sorry.” Chen Heng took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I’m one of Prince Alan’s men.” He sounded like he was going to refuse.
Kana was a little surprised. However, the old man looked calm and instead praised Chen Heng. The old man had lived for a long time and had seen many geniuses. Therefore, it would not be surprising if Chen Heng had directly agreed to it. Therefore, Chen Heng’s refusal made the old man look at him differently.
After all, to persevere under such a great temptation undoubtedly meant that Chen Heng was a person of good character. Therefore, even if the old man had to use Chen Heng in the future, he could be at ease when using such a person.
“You can slowly think about this when you go back. Just come and look for me at any time if you change your mind.” The old man said with a smile, like a kind elder, “As for now, let’s get back to the main topic.
Last time, we hoped to obtain information about Prince Aili. I wonder if you have brought it this time, Mr. Kling? As far as I know, Prince Alan has already accepted the three royal corpses as remuneration. I hope you won’t disappoint us.”
“Of course.” Chen Heng nodded, then silently stepped forward and took out an item.
It was a jade-colored crystal. It looked extremely translucent and had a unique beauty to it. It instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
