Chapter 80 - 80: Negotiation
"Are you looking for me?"
Just when Ron was carefully
Ron was bewildered by Ian's violent behavior, which left almost no room for compromise.
He hurriedly distanced himself, using what little mana he had left to stop the blade from piercing his abdomen.
"Then what do you think we should do? Don't try to talk it out. I don't believe a word Wizards say."
Ian understood that killing Ron here would be a bad choice; otherwise, why would he talk with him so much rather than beheading him just like Ethos?
Since he had read Arcane Passage, he knew Wizard organizations were very protective of their members. So, if there was a method, he didn't mind sparing him for now. As for later—who knew?
Seeing that Ian's blade was still following him relentlessly, hovering near his abdomen, Ron's forehead was drenched in sweat.
"What about a contract? I have a contract with me."
Now that Ian had made his stance clear, Ron couldn't afford to hesitate. If Ian killed him in haste, it would be an unjust death.
"Oh? A contract?"
Ian raised an eyebrow, his blue vertical pupils shrinking inward with intrigue.
He drew his blade back and asked what kind of contract it was.
As far as Ian knew, a contract in the Wizard world was a binding tool used by the strong to control their weaker subordinates.
Depending on its power and applicability, a contract could be strong or weak.
Ron looked at the cold, emotionless gaze in front of him, thought for a while, and replied in a distressed tone,
"I have a Magical Contract with me. We can present our terms, and it will come into effect immediately."
After saying that, he waited for Ian's reply nervously. If possible, Ron didn't want to sign any contract, as it would directly impact his path at the very least.
However, he had no choice now. His life was more important than his path.
Ian heard Ron's words but said nothing. He just looked at Ron's nervous figure with cold eyes, as if staring at a fool.
"Umm, what do you think?"
Ron didn't know why, but those cold eyes gave him a creepy feeling as if he were being suppressed on a fundamental level of life. This was strange, as he had never felt this way with other Bloodline Wizards.
"If you don't have a Soul Contract, you can just die."
