To be honest, Kil'jaeden had originally thought that after signing the tripartite contract and learning the truth of what Li Yun and Evelina had experienced in the ruins, it would more or less help with their current predicament.
But the facts proved that it was nothing like he had imagined!
After hearing the truth of Li Yun and Evelina's experiences, not only had it failed to help their current predicament, it had instead forcibly "evolved" their predicament into a dead end!
Put plainly, he, Kil'jaeden, was now a Green Mushroom Imp tied to the same rope as Li Yun and Evelina!
After all, the foundation of the tripartite contract was the Servant Contract.
Even though its mutual restraint prevented either party from controlling the other outright, it could still hold the other's life in its grasp!
Naturally, his own life was also in their hands.
Therefore, regardless of Kil'jaeden's own wishes, once he had signed the contract, he had been forced into becoming Li Yun and Evelina's comrade.
If Li Yun and Evelina accidentally brought about their own deaths when they met Prince Sargeras below, then Kil'jaeden would immediately be buried alongside them!
The urgent matter now was figuring out how to stay alive!
"I'm a little curious now." Kil'jaeden swallowed against his dry throat, trying to force a smile onto his face.
But the expression that finally appeared was even uglier than crying.
"When you two meet Prince Sargeras later, how do you plan to report this?"
"Of course, we'll tell the truth." Lu Li still did not hesitate in the slightest as he blurted out, "One lie requires countless more lies to cover it up. I don't have the time or the inclination to deal with all those twists and turns right now."
"Sincerity is the ultimate move."
