The Ice Owl, old and cunning, saw a slight change in the Dragon-man youth's expression and took the opportunity to present another scroll.
This was a Contract Scroll.
"As long as you, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps leader, sign this contract, then all the assets listed will be yours!"
The Dragon-man youth set the asset list in his hand down and resumed a calm expression.
He didn't take the Contract Scroll but instead looked at the Ice Owl, "Let me guess, the content of the contract isn't to have me give up the heroic duel, is it?"
"That's not the case," the Ice Owl smiled. "My side has fully considered your circumstances, Long Fu squad leader."
"The heroic duel was initiated by you."
"If, under the current circumstances, you were to suddenly give up on challenging our Gang Leader Teng Donglang, how would the outside world view you?"
"You would be misunderstood as cowardly and weak, a loser who dares to speak but not act."
"That would be too damaging to your reputation!"
