After a moment, the dazzling golden light became dim, and the majestic atmosphere gradually dissipated. Just as the solemn scene of drafting a law ended, Georgina handed a contract with several lines of clauses to Angel's hands, and said at the same time:

"You can look through it and sign your name at the end.

"Of course, if you are not satisfied with the terms, you can choose not to sign."

If I were really Sequence 6's Demoness, I would have completely succumbed to this kind of pressure. How dare I not sign... Angel cursed and glanced at the terms.

We will cooperate with her for one year, and if we need to extend it, we will have to sign a new contract... The cooperation is limited to trade and economic aspects, and does not involve social, personal interactions, etc., but I cannot reveal the content of the contract... Georgina has the right to propose three "reasonable deals", and the other party cannot refuse... During the cooperation, both parties are not allowed to do anything detrimental to the other party...

As Demigod, who is in charge of the power of order, the terms drafted by Georgina are very concise, but avoid the possibility of taking advantage of various loopholes. Angel read it several times and found that the only thing that needs attention is the three "reasonable transactions" terms, because this will be completely beneficial to the other party, and he cannot refuse it.

Of course, it is difficult to find loopholes in the contract content, but it does not mean that the contract itself cannot be broken. The Anne Mark buried in the palm of Angel's right hand represents the five-year contract between her and the Ghost Ship, and it is obviously However, he has a higher status and stronger binding force. Even if Angel is asked by Georgina to do something unfavorable to Anne, the conflict between the contracts will invalidate this clause or even directly abolish the entire contract.

But out of caution, Angel still asked:

"This one, what does 'Reasonable Transaction' initiated by you three times mean?"

"It's very simple. Similar to this time when you accept Sander's commission to conduct an arms trade that is beneficial to both parties, I will put forward conditions that are beneficial to you and me to achieve a certain project, and on the premise of not endangering your life, property and dignity, you may not refuse... This is a supplementary clause and is binding on both you and us."

Following Georgina's words, the contract in Angel's hand lit up again with a much dimmer light than before, and a new line of Ancient Feysac flashed in the blank space below, recording the points she said on it.

It seems that if I didn't ask, you wouldn't have planned to add this item at all... Angel sneered and evaluated these supplementary contents.

"What if the request is not detrimental to me, but is detrimental to my relatives and friends? Do I have to say yes too?"

She asked in a probing manner, like a little Demoness who didn't dare to directly disobey the superior, but had all kinds of worries.

"This is the part that hurts your 'dignity', and I have no intention of using tricks on your friends."

Duchess Georgina Augustus answered with a smile, not at all unhappy because of Angel's procrastination and hesitation.

This gave her the feeling that the other party was setting a trap for her to exploit.

Of course, the premise is that the other party really has some thoughts about "Queen Anne's Revenge". Otherwise, a "Pleasure" Demoness who has only tens of thousands of pounds in assets and no identity or status is not worth the various means used by this Demigod to deceive him.

"I request to add two items," Angel took a deep breath and said with determination after a moment. "Within one year of cooperation between the two parties, my income shall not be less than 30,000 pounds. In addition, if either party dies or is seriously injured and cannot perform the contract, the contract will be invalid."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes, as if she saw gold coins being held in her arms.

"No problem, in fact, you'll get much more than that."

Georgina raised his eyebrows, took the contract, quickly added the two items Angel said, and took the lead in signing his name.

Fortunately, she thought that my focus was on the first clause, and the second clause was just that I was worried that I could not perform the contract for some reason, while my focus was on the second clause, in this clause that could take advantage of my specialness to take advantage of loopholes...

Angel muttered, took the pen, confirmed all the terms for the last time, and signed Christine Teresa's name.

Although this is a pseudonym, after using it for a period of time, it will point to her like Angelica Zaki, and it can also be used in contracts.

As she wrote the last letter, the words Ancient Feysac on the paper shone with golden light one by one, fused together, and gathered into a brilliance that was difficult to look directly at. The entire contract faded and disappeared in the package of light.

At the same time, invisible power gathered around Angel, imposing various restrictions mentioned in the contract on her body and Spirit Body. Georgina, who was sitting opposite, had a faint golden glow in his eyes, obviously being subject to the same restrictions.

According to my experience of signing different contracts with Klein several times, the power attached to this Demigod in the contract can undoubtedly kill a Sequence 6's Beyonder, even for Demigod, violating the terms will cause serious harm and even lead to loss of control... Angel is still thinking about Klein playing Navy Admiral In the few days since Emilius, Georgina Augustus, who had seen his majestic aura gradually shrinking, spoke again:

"Now that you have signed the contract, you are temporarily a member of Loen Military. Of course, your current life will not change. Within a month, Sander will hand over the next commission to you. This time, all the proceeds will belong to you. We only want the results."

"Is it still the arms trade?"

Angel's heart moved and he asked.

"Of course, but the location has changed. In the Southern Continent... hehe, the Dwayne Dantès you are interested in went there just a month ago and sold arms worth tens of thousands of pounds. You can seek his help. As long as you don't reveal the contract, we will not stop him."

She even investigated this...Angel nodded silently.

"Finally, I have one more question to ask you." Seeing her agree, Georgina drank the already cold black tea in his cup and continued, "When you were inside the Demoness Sect, have you ever heard of a Demoness named 'Trissy'?"

After a pause, she added:

"Maybe it's called 'Trissy Cheek'."

Trissy? Why does she care about the wanted Demoness who has disappeared?

Because you are investigating Great Smog? Because that William Sykes died outside inexplicably?

Angel made a recalling expression, tilted his head and frowned, and replied after a moment:

"I have heard of her. She was a 'Witch' who came from Tingen to Backlund, but ended up getting together with a certain Prince and disappeared after the Great Smog last year... Let me confirm first, do you know what 'Cheek' stands for, right?"

"Primordial Demoness."

Georgina said the answer with a calm expression.

"Yes, her name was given to her within the sect. I heard a rumor that she was selected to be the 'vessel' for the arrival of Primordial, and even received a certain high-end Sealed Artifact, receiving extra attention..."

Angel considered and gave some answers that the royal family might already know.

"Is it possible for her to be alive now? According to the style of the Demoness Sect members, have they fled Loen and gone to neighboring countries, or are they still hiding near Backlund?"

Georgina asked without any pause.

Of course they are still nearby, or rather, in the city of Backlund, they are still plotting against the royal family and the military... Angel cursed with a confused expression on his face, shook his head and replied:

"I don't know, maybe only the members of the Backlund branch and 'Lady Despair' Panacea know these things, but they have all lost contact after Great Smog."

"Panacea..."

The expression on Georgina's face changed slightly, and it seemed clear that this member of the Demoness Sect would not end well.

After a while, she stood up from the sofa, looked at the door of Reception Room, and said in a calm and emotionless tone:

"Then, let's stop here tonight. After you go back, wait for the notification from Sander. If you need help from the military, you can also contact him. Of course, all help will require you to pay accordingly..."

Angel nodded clearly, stood up and saluted, looked at the untouched snacks with some regret, said goodbye to them, and was about to leave when he heard the words of Georgina behind him:

"... If you have any news about Trissy...Cheek, or any news, you can come directly to me here."

This kind of attention is a bit strange...Angel thought about it, turned around and asked:

"Is there anything special about her?"

"No, I just have a score to settle with her."

Georgina chuckled and replied vaguely.

Looking out the window at the black carriage gradually driving into the distance, Georgina Augustus retracted his gaze, sat down on the sofa in the center of Reception Room again, picked up a piece of delicate snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

On the wall behind her, a secret door was pushed open, and a man wearing a white shirt and a black vest, with short black hair neatly combed back, and his eyes shining with golden light, came out.

"Have you finished talking to her? Did you find anything?"

He sat casually on the sofa where Angel had been sitting just now and asked.

"Not much, she readily admitted that she was 'Demoness of Pleasure', but I felt that her 'position' was more than that, and she was quite restrained in my 'Charm'. She may be Sequence 5, or possess multiple pieces of Sealed Artifact, and her combat power has reached this level. In addition, she should have seen our purpose. I believe that soon, 'Golden Queen' will know that we are trying to contact her."

Georgina replied.

"Indeed, how could the agent of 'Golden Queen' in Backlund be just Sequence 6..."

The man chuckled and agreed.

"We have already signed the contract. By taking advantage of those three trading opportunities, we should be able to obtain the information we need and contact the 'Balancer'... It is a pity that Emilius Livett's operation failed half a year ago. Otherwise, we could directly trade with it without so much trouble. "Georgina wiped his fingers that were stained with grease and debris from the snacks, and said as if talking to himself, "It will definitely not be able to refuse the conditions we offer this time..."

The man with short black hair nodded, looked at the slightly dim Crimson Moon outside the window, and suddenly asked:

"Where is Trissy Cheek? Did you ask for any information?"

"These are all things we know. She doesn't know where Demoness is hiding now, or even whether she is still alive. "Georgina shook his head, but his tone was not too regretful, "If it weren't for some infatuated lover who made this matter his only condition, I wouldn't want to care about her."

"Heh."

She was answered by a short laugh from the black-haired man.
