Li Chen was shocked, but he kept his expression neutral as he glanced at the Beastman King.
He noticed that the Beastman King was secretly observing him as well.
That guy had previously signed a similarly unequal treaty and led the entire Beastman Civilization into surrendering to Li Chen's Earth Civilization Alliance.
However, the contract drawn up for the Beastman Civilization back then had not been nearly this harsh.
Li Chen had expected Su Lade to stipulate in the contract that the Great Elf King had to become his subordinate.
But he had never imagined that Su Lade would be so ruthless.
He had even nailed down the Great Elf King's tone when speaking to him.
If the other party showed any disrespectful words, tone, or attitude, he would be waiting to be punished.
One could imagine there were even more such details.
This Great Elf Civilization had truly been completely crushed by the Cosmic Rules.
Even Li Chen felt a little afraid now.
If a civilization stronger than theirs used this trick against them, wouldn't they be utterly screwed?
As Li Chen's thoughts ran wild, the Great Elf King spoke again.
"Lord Li Chen, I will immediately bring all the commanders and the Elders of the Great Elf Civilization to meet you. Would your schedule allow it?"
His tone had become incomparably respectful, and even his gaze carried deep reverence.
Watching a king who had once stood so high above others become like this, Li Chen suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
Of course, pity was pity.
Li Chen would not cancel that contract because of it.
Even if he were to terminate the contract, it would have to wait until after these people had taken the Special Potion.
Only perfect control could prevent mishaps.
"Then come over."
