At that point, even if you have SSS level talent, what use is it if you can’t contract a spirit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, better apologize now and contract with me, or my godfather will blacklist you!\" Xiao Mei echoed, backing her godfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the disgusting faces of the ’father and daughter’ duo fomenting together, Han Zhan felt all the more disgusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just like the world he came from, still the same familiar tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sorry, weighing 130 pounds and with 310 pounds worth of rebelliousness, rebelliousness is my forte!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan remained fixated on Xiao Mei, uttering three words: \"Are you worthy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\" Xiao Mei was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Hu’s eyes bulged with fury, and he was about to order his men to teach Han Zhan a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guangpu stepped forward to shield Han Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deputy Zhao, please calm down. He has an SSS level talent. I have reported it to higher authorities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you proceed, what will you say when Captain Yi returns from the frontlines?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guangpu subtly reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you threatening me?\" Zhao Hu glared at Chen Guangpu with eyes that could kill. \"Fine, I promise not to touch him, but he must contract with this E level spirit, and no one else!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t he look down on my goddaughter? Fine, then let him contract with this useless spirit. Even if the higher-ups blame someone, it won’t be me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Hu said, sneering repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An SSS level spirit contract master only contracting an E level spirit is no different than being crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Hu’s intentions were clear to both Han Zhan and Chen Guangpu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guangpu moved his lips, looking troubled under Zhao Hu’s stern gaze, unable to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had done the utmost within his ability to protect Han Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan mimicked Zhao Hu with a cold laugh, boldly declaring, \"Fine, I’ll contract with Xia Youwei. Today, no one can change my decision!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan’s resolute words made the school beauty Xia Youwei lift her head abruptly and gaze at him with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, fine.\" Zhao Hu laughed in anger, saying \"fine\" thrice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow is the spirit contract master’s assessment. If I remember correctly, those who fail the assessment are forcibly exiled to the Lower City District!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal Chen, I’ll personally be there tomorrow. Hope you can still protect him then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving those words behind, Zhao Hu left with the disgruntled Xiao Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guangpu looked at Han Zhan, then at Xia Youwei, ultimately sighed deeply and left shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Youwei had not yet reacted when her hand was suddenly held by another warm hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, Xia University Beauty, let’s sign the contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan’s voice whispered in her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Youwei’s eyes instantly welled up, as if all the grievances endured these past days erupted at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Zhan, I’m sorry...\" she said with a slight sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No apologies needed, because you’re worth it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-10T05:31:12.900Z",1,"novelbin.me","a549f2592c4f0e968fe24b7a41c4fe38cb965da37897a8cea113c6e746ed8fee","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-4","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-2",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
