Chapter 024
This statement was directed at Devitt. Hearing it, Devitt frowned and seriously examined Chen Xiong, whom he was meeting for the first time despite hearing about him many times before.
"Old Chen can be trusted," Elder Lin said immediately upon seeing Devitt's expression. "He is an absolute expert in the field of contracted beasts. Many of my research endeavors over the years have relied on his understanding and experience with contracted beasts."
Arch, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.
Looking at the rugged face of the middle-aged man, Devitt fell silent for a moment. He lowered his head and patted Wen Jin's head, asking, "What do you think?"
Wen Jin squinted his eyes, and his gaze fell on the man named Chen Xiong. He thought to himself that this man had many thoughts. However, this was just an exchange of information; the words were more for Chen Xiong than Devitt. Accepting the inspection meant, by default, revealing a part of his own information, which the other party would use as a basis for the exchange. As for how much to exchange, it depended on their capabilities.
Looking at the man with deep, slightly persistent eyes, Wen Jin chuckled softly in his heart. He had never been a demon who couldn't afford to gamble, but this black bear demon was somewhat interesting. After hearing his roar using spiritual power, he could still restrain his instinctive yearning when facing him.
Not simple.
"Awu." Wen Jin extended his soft claws and stepped on Devitt's body. His shiny eyes stared at Devitt for a while, then he extended his pink tongue to lick his nose, nodding gently.
Wen Jin was in a good mood now. This little tail thought about him everywhere, and its one-word promises made him pleased. So, he wanted to be a bit gentler to express his satisfaction with the other's attitude. However, what he didn't know was that his appearance was just too cute, and Devitt, looking at him, felt like his heart was about to melt.
He understood Wen Jin's intention, but he still didn't plan to accept it. The situation in Assyria, the appearance of the little fox, and what its abilities meant—Devitt understood all of this better than anyone. Such a contracted beast would undoubtedly cause a huge stir. It might not know these things, or perhaps it just wanted to express its trust in him. However, Devitt couldn't help but think about it and couldn't take advantage of the creature's simplicity and lack of understanding to overstep boundaries.
He repeatedly touched the soft head of the little fox, raised his head, and once again rejected Chen Xiong. His words were firm and left no room for retreat.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiong didn't insist. Not only did he not insist, but when Devitt uttered the three words of refusal, a hint of appreciation even flashed in his eyes.
Wen Jin seemed a bit stunned. He didn't expect this big, silly guy to go to such lengths for him. After a little consideration of the deeper meaning behind the two refusals, he couldn't help but feel a bit itchy in his heart.

"This contracted beast is very special." Devitt's examination proceeded as usual. After the examination ended, Chen Xiong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke seriously, "Sincerely hope you treat him well."
Devitt glanced at Chen Xiong, his expression calm. "I will."
"Professor Lin, don't you plan to have a contracted beast?" Arch's attention wasn't on them; instead, he was watching Professor Lin, who, since obtaining Devitt's blood sample, had been emotionally charged and even buried himself in the laboratory. "He always works day and night like this and doesn't like people following him. I'm really worried that something might happen."
