Chapter 224: Chapter 224 – Faction

The Dean looked at Shang.

"What do you want in exchange? This book is worth far more than I have invested in you," the Dean said.

"Is it?" Shang asked in an uncertain voice. "Without your help, I wouldn't have gotten that many points regardless."

"Sure," the Dean said, "but without my help, you would have still made about eight or nine points, and these eight or nine points have nothing to do with me. By gaining about eleven points or so, you would have already repaid everything I invested in you."

"But you gained 22."

"So, what do you want?" 

After hearing the Dean put it like that, Shang agreed.

Yes, the Dean had helped him a lot, but Shang would have also gotten a lot of points without his help.

"There is something I want, but I don't know if you can help me get it."

"Tell me," the Dean said.

"Do you know about the Old King's Trial in the Wild Forest?" Shang asked.
