1082 What If I Don’t Accept It?
When he reached the door of the separate residence prepared for him, Chu Nan could not help but hesitate.
Up until now, he still could not understand why Cardale would deliberately set a trap to attack him.
It was obvious that he did not know the other party and had never interacted with him. Then, it was even more impossible for there to be any conflict or even hatred.
However, it was really strange that Cardale had put on such a huge show to deal with him.
What puzzled him even more was that since Cardale wanted to deal with him, why did she have to pretend to be infatuated with him in the beginning? Wasn’t this unnecessary?
However, these were not the most important problems. The most important problem for Chu Nan now was whether to continue staying here.
That Cardale was actually able to mobilize six high-level Void Break Martial Artists and a powerful Heaven Control Martial Artist to ambush him at once. This proved that her background was definitely not weak. She might even be from a large family on Planet Princess Anna or even the Declan Empire.
It would be fine if it was only Cardale who wanted to deal with Chu Nan for some reason, but if the large family behind her wanted to deal with him for some reason, it would be a huge problem.
After putting his hand on the door and thinking for a moment, Chu Nan shook his head and rejected the latter guess.
If a large family behind Cardale wanted to deal with him, they should clearly be more prepared. They should investigate his strength more clearly and not think that they could deal with him just by sending a Heaven Control Martial Artist and six high-level Void Break Martial Artists.
Therefore, there was a high chance that this was completely Cardale’s personal actions.
However, this made Chu Nan even more puzzled.
Was this Cardale crazy? Why did she want to deal with him like this for no reason?
When he recalled that Cardale had directly expressed that she was obsessed with him when she first saw him, Chu Nan could not help but reveal a mocking and self-deprecating smile.
If she really felt that it was too embarrassing because Chu Nan had rejected her confession and her love turned into hatred, it made sense.
However, Chu Nan was 100% certain that this guy did not have any special feelings for him.
No matter how confident Chu Nan was, he did not think that he could charm thousands of girls as soon as he appeared. Just his performance in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition could make the young ladies from large families in the Declan Empire tens of thousands of light-years away infatuated with him.
Moreover, speaking of his performance in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition… other than being captured by Supremacy Quediro, he did not seem to have any special performance.
After that, he was directly judged to have lost because of the time limit and left the competition. How could he have any special performance?
“Forget it, Ignore it. In any case, I’ll deal with whatever comes my way. Let’s see what they can do.”
Chu Nan shook his head and pushed open the door to walk in.
Although being suddenly ambushed made him wary, Chu Nan did not think there was anything to be afraid of.
As long as the other party did not mobilize a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he could easily escape and was not afraid.
If the other party could even mobilize a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he could not escape even if he wanted to. It was meaningless to dodge.
In that case, it was better to wait and see.
Of course, it was impossible for Chu Nan to wait here. After entering the house, he opened his personal terminal and activated a program that he had asked Dong Fang to implant for him before he left.
A moment later, extremely weak spatial energy fluctuations emitted from his personal terminal and enveloped the entire room.
After a symbol representing completion appeared on his personal terminal, Chu Nan heaved a sigh of relief. He connected his personal terminal to the Milky Way Network and transmitted some data.
As soon as he transmitted the data and was about to contact Supremacy Quediro again to ask him about the situation on Planet Princess Anna, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Nan was stunned.
If it was a service robot, it should have directly sent the voice in and not knocked like this.
He thought for a moment and stood up to open the door, only to discover that a thin middle-aged man who did not have many characteristics of the Declan Empire had appeared outside.
When his gaze landed on him, Chu Nan immediately narrowed his eyes.
This middle-aged man looked ordinary on the surface, but from the fact that Chu Nan did not discover him when he arrived outside the door and could not even accurately sense his aura while standing face to face, it could be seen that this guy was definitely not simple.
After seeing Chu Nan, the middle-aged man sized him up with a scrutinizing gaze. His expression changed slightly and he revealed a trace of surprise. Then, he quickly disappeared and coldly said, “Mr. Chu Nan, I’m here for what happened previously.”
“What happened previously?” Chu Nan looked at him in surprise before sneering, “What? Miss Cardale is still unwilling to let me go?”
“No, I guarantee you that Miss Cardale won’t find trouble with you in the future, but I hope you can completely forget this matter and pretend that it never happened.”
At this point, the middle-aged man paused and looked at Chu Nan with a warning gaze.
“I hope you can accept this kindness and not bring trouble to Miss Cardale.”
“Ha, not bring her trouble?” Chu Nan could not help but sneer loudly, “She clearly set up a trap to attack me for no reason, but now, you want me to pretend that this did not happen? You even said that you don’t want me to bring her trouble? Don’t you think this is very funny?”
“No, this is not funny at all.” The middle-aged man still shook his head expressionlessly, “I’m ordered to give you a piece of advice. If you’re willing to accept this advice, I’ll give you some compensation on behalf of Miss Cardale. I believe you’ll be satisfied with this compensation.”
“Oh? Tell me, what compensation can there be?”
That person did not seem to see the undisguised mockery in Chu Nan’s smile. He still had an expressionless expression. His hand moved and he took out a card from nowhere.
“This is the universal unmarked gold card of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. There’s a million Denars inside and it can be used anywhere in the Milky Way. If you accept this advice, it’s yours.”
“A million Denars?” Although he was still dissatisfied, Chu Nan could not help but be slightly moved.
The so-called Denars was the common currency of the Declan Empire. According to the current exchange rate, it was equivalent to more than 8 million Earth Federation coins!
Without a doubt, this could already be considered a huge sum of money.
“Come, let me see. I’ve never seen so much money.” Chu Nan smiled and waved at him.
That person frowned and glanced at Chu Nan. Without any hesitation, he handed the card to him.
Chu Nan took the card and flipped it in his hand a few times before asking, “In other words, you plan to use this million Denars to bribe me not to tell anyone what happened tonight?”
“Yes.”
“Then…” Chu Nan spread the card in his palm and suddenly sighed with a regretful expression. Then, his palm curled up. When he opened it again, the card had already turned into pieces, “What if I don’t accept it?”
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze toward Chu Nan instantly became extremely sharp. The aura on his body suddenly erupted with killing intent.
“Young man, if you don’t know how to accept the kindness given by others, that’s not a good moral. You…”
Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.
Chu Nan had already raised his hand and slapped him.
