The document was very long and displayed on the virtual screen of Chu Nan's personal terminal for dozens of pages before it ended.

This was because, from the title on the first page, he could tell that this document was an evaluation report of the destruction of the stargate. Chu Nan patiently and seriously read it page by page.

In the end, he quickly summarized it in his mind.

The most important thing in this report was actually the final conclusion.

The conclusion was completely beyond Chu Nan's expectations.

In the report, there was a clear judgment that the stargate had been destroyed by Chu Nan's punch.

However, after a series of dazzling and dizzy analyses in the report, the final conclusion was that Chu Nan was acting in self-defense to save his compatriots. Although it was a fact that the stargate was damaged, there was no need to admit any responsibility!

Seeing this conclusion, Chu Nan was immediately stunned.

In the past few days, while waiting for the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to send someone over, Chu Nan had thought of how to properly resolve this matter many times. He had even thought of escaping, but in the end, he did not have a perfect solution and could only wait obediently.

This was because it was obvious that the stargate had been shattered by his punch. This was recorded in detailed data and information, so he could not deny it.

Therefore, he had only thought of how to minimize his responsibility and avoid completely bearing the compensation needed for the destruction of the stargate, because it was impossible for him to bear it.

Although only 1% was not something he could afford now, it was good to reduce it a little…

However, he did not expect that the report given by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce would completely exempt him from responsibility!

In other words, according to this evaluation report, he did not even need to pay a single cent!

"This…" Chu Nan raised his head to look at the patiently waiting Rubes and frowned, "Why?"

"Why?" Rubes smiled lightly, "I just said that you're the target of our Chamber of Commerce's special attention, so we naturally won't let you fall into an unnecessary dilemma. Of course, through the Chamber of Commerce's special attention to you, we discovered that you have more research value. Although the Earth Federation Branch did well in this aspect previously, it's still not enough. Therefore, I've brought you some other new cooperation agreements this time. You can take a look."

After saying that, Rubes sent a few more contract texts to Chu Nan through his personal terminal.

Chu Nan did not read it too seriously this time. He only roughly glanced at it and discovered that these contracts were all related to his cooperation with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to do some research.

The contract looked very formal. Not only was the content, time, location, and so on clearly marked, it even clearly marked the reward Chu Nan could obtain from participating in these research cooperations—and it was really not low.

Just from these contracts, there was no problem. However, combined with the damage assessment report given by Rubes, it looked very strange…

Chu Nan flipped back and glanced at the final responsibility of the evaluation report before looking at the remaining contracts. Then, he raised his head and asked Rubes, "What if I reject these contracts?"

The smile on Rubes's face immediately became meaningful.

"This evaluation report is only the first draft that I've discussed with Lazakdo. In fact, it should be modified when it's finally reported to the Chamber of Commerce. The final review results made by the Chamber of Commerce might also change, so this is not the final result."

Chu Nan could not help but smile bitterly.

Although Rubes did not say it explicitly, no matter how stupid he was, he could tell what he meant.

Clearly, this was a deal forced by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to use him to cooperate with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to do a few experiments to offset the losses brought about by destroying the stargate.

If Chu Nan rejected the contract, he could forget about not bearing the responsibility of destroying the stargate.

After figuring this out, Chu Nan was not unhappy. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, the conditions proposed by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce were not overboard. What Chu Nan needed to do was only to cooperate with them to do some research. Moreover, from the contract, it was not life-threatening research and did not affect him much.

Moreover, there was a considerable reward for participating in this research. It would not do Chu Nan any harm.

To put it bluntly, although he had been forced to destroy the stargate in order to save Tiago and the others, the truth was the truth and could not be denied.

Not to mention that the Noctem Chamber of Commerce would still reward him, even if he was asked to do free labor, Chu Nan would have nothing to say.

"Alright, I agree to these contracts, but I have a request," Chu Nan said seriously.

"Oh? What request?" Rubes seemed surprised.

"Those guys who caused me to destroy the stargate have been captured by the Kasha Kingdom now. I want to know what the Kasha Kingdom did to them in the end."

Looking at Chu Nan's serious expression, Rubes frowned slightly.

"This… this is the internal affairs of the Kasha Kingdom. Our Chamber of Commerce can't interfere."

"I'm not asking you to interfere. I only want you to tell me what the Kasha Kingdom will do with them in the end." Chu Nan shook his head, "It's impossible for me to stay here forever. After I return to the Orion Arm, it'll be very difficult to obtain any news here, so I hope you can tell me."

Rubes and Lazakdo looked at each other in silence. Rubes nodded slowly.

"Alright, I promise you."

The atmosphere became relaxed after the two sides actually reached an agreement.

Rubes introduced the Elkart he had mentioned to Chu Nan and expressed that he had said that he had to see him when he had the chance.

Chu Nan was also very curious about this guy.

This was because he had heard from Rubes that Elkart had special attention and an extremely high evaluation of the Earth Federation. He felt that it was very likely that the Earth Federation would develop into an important country on the Orion Arm in the future.

At the same time, although Elkart was not a very powerful martial artist, he had always thought very highly of Chu Nan's future. As early as last year, he was very certain that Chu Nan would definitely become a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist in the future.

Chu Nan could not imagine why a person like Elkart who had never seen him before would have such a high evaluation of him and the Earth Federation. Therefore, he looked forward to talking to him face to face.

Therefore, Rubes expressed that after the matter here was settled and Chu Nan fulfilled the contract to cooperate with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce for research, he would try his best to arrange an opportunity for Elkart and Chu Nan to meet.

In short, this meeting finally ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere after both sides obtained results that satisfied them.

After watching Rubes and Lazakdo leave, Chu Nan heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, this matter had finally come to an end. He could finally relax for the time being and return to his familiar place.

As for whether he would have the chance to come to the Perseus Arm in the future…

Who knew what would happen in the future?
