The truck had just delivered the mutated gazelle’s corpse back to the temporary camp, and instantly, a surging crowd had surrounded it.
Rushing to the forefront were still Professor Liu Zhi and his team of researchers.
“My goodness, such a large mutated gazelle, and it’s a specimen not present at the research institute, we’ve hit the jackpot!”
He exclaimed excitedly, but almost immediately, his eyebrows furrowed, “Wait a minute, there shouldn’t be any wild gazelles in our area, right?”
“Did these gazelles escape from a zoo, or have they migrated here?”
If it was the former, that wouldn’t be a big problem, but if it was the latter, then the situation would become troublesome.
It meant that after mutating, these creatures could travel to farther areas, and humans would face even more complex challenges in the future.
While Liu Zhi pondered these issues, higher-ups from the Mutant Management Bureau and the military had also arrived.
Although Zhang Ji didn’t praise openly, the look he gave Chen Dalong was more satisfied.
This time, because the transportation of the mutated gazelle had taken a little longer, the military’s four units had already returned ahead of time, and all the unit commanders had also gathered around, full of exclamations of astonishment.
Although they had heard that Mad Dragon Security Company had killed a large number of mutated beings, by the time they returned, those mutated beings had been carted away.
Seeing it with their own eyes this time had a decidedly greater impact on them.
Even setting aside the mutated gazelle, just the sight of each member carrying mutated beings, and the bags of mutated insects in their hands, was proof of the team’s strength.
What’s more important was that they had killed so many mutated beings, yet there were no seriously wounded in the team, and even the lightly wounded weren’t that numerous.
This made some of the unit commanders’ faces redden with embarrassment, and after looking twice, they immediately went back, planning to give their subordinates a good talking-to.
As more and more people gathered, representatives from other security companies were naturally drawn over.
The expressions on Wu Kun, Liu Guang, and Song Yuanlin’s faces were worse than before.
The previous time, they could console themselves by thinking that the other party had just gotten lucky.
But one time might be luck, the coincidence of it happening twice was almost zero.
This made them increasingly wary of Mad Dragon Security Company.
“Let’s go! With the strength that the other party has shown, we can’t possibly engage in any tricks during this mission,” Wu Kun sighed lightly after just a glance.
Some minor schemes might work when both parties were evenly matched, but when there’s too great a disparity in strength, it was just asking for trouble.
The other two didn’t say much, but as they were about to leave, they spotted Sha Weiping, the representative from Red Star Tech, hurrying over towards them.

This made their expressions turn even uglier.
The clearance mission had only just started, but the other party seemed to be about to make a decision!
In fact, it was exactly as the three had guessed, Sha Weiping had the data of all the security companies in his hands.
Previously, Mad Dragon Security Company had brought back so many mutated beings’ corpses that he became a bit restless, but since it was only the beginning, he held back.
But now, after their second clearance operation turned out to be such an overwhelming success, he didn’t want to wait any longer. Such a security company was worth courting ahead of time.
“Hello! My name is Sha Weiping, I’m a representative from Red Star Tech.” Arriving in front of Chen Dalong, Sha Weiping extended his palm with a smile.
“Hello! I’ve heard so much about you.” Hearing the introduction, Chen Dalong quickly reached out, warmly shaking his hand.
“Haha, I won’t dwell on pleasantries. Your Mad Dragon Security Company is very impressive. I was wondering if you’d be interested in discussing a long-term cooperation agreement with Red Star Tech.” Sha Weiping got straight to the point.
Chen Dalong had not expected such candor from the other side; he immediately replied, “It would be my honor.”
Soon, the two took a brief leave from there and got into the company car provided by Red Star Tech.
Their conversation proceeded very smoothly; the terms set by Red Star Tech had already been prepared in advance. Now, the choice of which company to select was the only issue.
Chen Dalong only glanced at the conditions and compensation before agreeing outright.
It was nearly identical to what he had gathered from Qin Yaowen; this was indeed a long-term contract worth hundreds of millions of Huaxia Currency.
The compensation was even better than he had anticipated, since the one hundred million Huaxia Currency was just the base salary, with bonus compensation on top.
If Mad Dragon Security Company could transport the goods without any damage over the next month, Red Star Tech was willing to offer a bonus of another one hundred million Huaxia Currency, bringing the total to two hundred million.
Of course, this was challenging, as any number of unforeseen incidents could occur over the span of a month.
The second condition was what Chen Dalong was interested in: if the damage to the goods stayed below 5% over the month, there was a reward of fifty million Huaxia Currency.
This reward seemed far more achievable, and Chen Dalong felt very confident that he could secure it.
That would bring the total to one hundred and fifty million.
Naturally, with rewards, there were also penalties: if the goods were damaged beyond 10%, Red Star Tech would unilaterally terminate the collaboration and demand compensation at 10% of the value of the damaged goods from Mad Dragon Security Company.
Other security companies would have carefully considered this, as even a 10% penalty could represent tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Huaxia Currency—a significant sum indeed.
But Chen Dalong accepted the terms without hesitation, reassured by the support of Lord Parrot, he had the confidence to do so.
He even saw the potential for some shrewder maneuvers, such as personally handling the initial few shipments before passing the subsequent tasks over to Heiyao Security Company, then simply waiting to collect their dues.
This way, he could free up time to take on other tasks, rather than being tied down to Red Star Tech indefinitely.
The two reached a preliminary consensus; the specifics of the contract would be finalized after returning to the Security Association to make it effective.
As Chen Dalong left the company car, his face was flush with a triumphant air.
Upon exiting, he saw Qin Yaowen standing nearby.
“Chen, how did it go? Did the talk go smoothly?” Qin Yaowen quickly approached him and asked eagerly.
To the uninformed, it might have seemed as though it was his security company negotiating a partnership with Red Star Tech.
“Rest assured, everything’s settled,” said Chen Dalong.
“Then, Chen, about our earlier discussed partnership…” Qin Yaowen sounded somewhat anxious.
His company hadn’t contributed yet, and Mad Dragon Security Company had already successfully negotiated with Red Star Tech; they could kick him to the curb at any moment!
“Don’t worry, it’s all good. We’ll still need your help at Heiyao Company with the upcoming Red Star Tech escort mission,” said Chen Dalong, clapping him on the shoulder.
“Haha, you must be joking, Chen. Your Mad Dragon Security Company is so strong that…”
Qin Yaowen’s words were cut off halfway by Chen Dalong, “I’m serious…”
Chen Dalong proceeded to explain his plan, leaving Qin Yaowen speechless.
“How does that sound? You know that in a regular partnership, if I can give your company twenty to thirty percent of the profits, that’s already quite generous. But if you escort the goods, I can directly give you a fifty percent share. I’m more than fair, wouldn’t you agree?” Chen Dalong said with a grin.
Qin Yaowen was at a loss for words, having never met someone so brazenly shameless.
