'Here we go.'

Sekiro stood up after him, his head lowered under his hat, and sighed his frustration away, feeling like an idiot for expecting a different result.

Lady Iris looked at Felix, disbelief etched across her face. She was not accustomed to being turned down.

There was a moment of stunned silence before Madam Arabella broke it, her voice quite enticing, "What if I told you we can remove the blacklist order on you and provide resources you could only dream of?"

"What do I have to give in return?" Felix asked, giving them a chance.In his eyes, if he could get rid of this irritating blacklist order from his back and also receive the support of the big lords in the city, why not? As long as the payment was something he could live with.

"I speak for myself when I say that I want you to win the tournament or at least qualify for the heavenly plane's tournament." Lady Iris shared, "This is the minimum requirement. If you managed to win this tournament, I will be getting 40% of the winnings in addition to having you promote my company's name and products in each opportunity presented to you."

Felix shook his head and looked at the other two, seemingly leading them to propose their counteroffers.

"20% of the winnings, but a ten years ambassador contract to my company." Boss Gideon said.

"35% of the winnings, but a ten-year-long committed partnership in all tournaments." Madam Arabella offered.

All of those offers might sound a bit too steep or harsh, but Sekiro wanted nothing more but for Felix to bite on any one of them.

After all, his master would be getting the support of an authoritative figure in the city, which ensured that he wouldn't get blacklisted again.

The payments were nothing in comparison to the rewards.

Alas, Felix wasn't interested in such a low-quality subordinate partnership, especially when he was confident in his capabilities to break new heights in the tournaments.
