The Three Brothers of the Deli Family

Listening to the teacher's explanation,

Wayne nodded slightly and gave a salute.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts!"

The teacher nodded faintly,

then looked at the others with a smile in his eyes. "What about you?

Do you have any questions?"

Time passed,

and the basic dragon knowledge course came to an end.

The sky had darkened,

and beneath the lingering glow of the setting sun, Wayne returned to his villa.

He had just reached the second floor,

when Aurora's voice rang out. "Young Master,

come eat!"

Wayne nodded and walked over to sit down. At that moment, Nia flew over!

"Master, Master,

can you see what's changed about me?"

As she spoke,

Nia, dressed in tiny shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, spun around in front of Wayne.

Seeing this,

Wayne could not help but smile. After giving it some thought, he answered,

"Did you advance to a level-two sprite?"

Nia nodded excitedly. "Yes, Master!

Nia's amazing, right?"

Wayne smiled and went along with her. "Amazing. Nia is the most amazing!

But now that you're level two,

did you gain any new abilities?"

Nia shook her head slightly.

"No, Master!

But my two original abilities have improved. Now Nia can tend three million mu of Dragonblood Ginseng,

and I can feel that

as long as I keep eating magic crystals, they'll continue to improve!"

Hearing that,

Wayne nodded slightly.

"That's very impressive!

Nia alone can produce resources enough to supply a great many people!"

Nia giggled nonstop.

"Oh, Master,

I-I'm not that amazing!"

"Haha!"

"Hehe, Nia,

so you know how to be embarrassed too!"

Aurora teased as she brought the dishes over.

Once the two adults and one little sprite had taken their seats,

Wayne finally looked at Aurora and asked, "By the way, Aurora,

didn't you go home today?

What did Uncle and Auntie say?"

Faced with Wayne's question, Aurora immediately broke into a radiant smile. The result was obviously good!

"Hehe,

of course they agreed! A wonderful person like Young Master makes it hard for people not to want to follow him!"

"Father said

my brothers will bring the Sacred Domain Scroll contracts to see Young Master tomorrow."

Hearing that,

Wayne nodded slightly.

"All right, I understand."

The next morning.

Aurora was practicing the Knight Breathing Technique in the courtyard.

At that moment,

a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Aurora's eyes brightened. She set down the greatsword in her hand

and walked toward the entrance.

After pressing the button on the inner side of the door, it opened automatically.

Sure enough,

three burly men stood outside.

"Little Sister!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother!"

After greeting them,

Aurora stepped aside and let the three men in. Once they entered,

Aurora did not exchange much small talk.

"Come with me!"

With that,

she did not linger in the courtyard at all and led her three brothers upstairs.

A moment later,

Aurora brought them to the second floor, where Wayne was sitting on the sofa in meditation.

The little sprite, Nia,

was seated on a specially made sofa, holding a miniature cup

and drinking juice!

"Young Master."

Hearing that,

Wayne ended his meditation, opened his eyes, and turned toward Aurora.

Finally,

his gaze settled on the three burly men. No matter how many times Wayne saw them,

he still felt that he had dragged down the height of everyone his age.

Were these really people his age?

Of course,

Wayne only pointed at the sofa and said outwardly, "Since you've come, you're one of us. Find a place to sit.

No need to stand on ceremony."

The three burly men did not stand on ceremony. They walked over to the sofa and plopped down.

"Big Brother!

Move over a little, your butt is too huge!"

"Bullshit!

Third Brother, yours is obviously bigger!"

Seeing this,

Aurora spoke up.

"Brothers!"

In an instant, the three of them fell silent like quails.

Watching this scene,

Wayne found it incredibly amusing. What kind of thunderous plot was this?

Three burly men

had actually been subdued by a single sentence from a young girl.

"All right!

Take out the Sacred Domain Contracts Father gave you!"

As soon as she finished speaking,

under Wayne's astonished gaze, the three burly men each pulled out a scroll from inside their lavish clothes!

Wayne: ...

If he remembered correctly, they had all advanced by at least one level, right?

They should have refined their spatial rings already, shouldn't they?

But Wayne had no time to think about why they were doing this. Looking at the Sanctuary Contracts extended toward him by three fan-sized hands,

Wayne took them one by one

and unrolled them.

The moment he opened them, Wayne felt that something was wrong. The clauses were packed together so densely

that anyone unaware of the truth

might think they were contracts of servitude!

"What is this?"

Wayne looked toward Aurora, clearly believing

that Aurora had acted on her own initiative.

Aurora hurriedly waved her hands.

"Young Master,

this wasn't my demand. Father wrote it himself."

Wayne did not even look at them again.

He tossed them directly onto one side of the sofa and turned to look at the three brothers of the Deli family.

"This contract doesn't count. Unless something unexpected happens,

you will be my direct subordinates in the future,

so it's enough for you to sign the same Sanctuary Contract as Aurora."

Of course,

aside from genuinely thinking so, the bigger reason Wayne said this was that he could not be bothered to read that

densely packed contract of servitude.

After all,

the contract could only succeed with mutual understanding. Wayne did not have that kind of time, and he felt that the contract he had used before

was already thorough enough.

There was no need for further restraints.

At that moment, the three brothers' faces clearly broke into smiles.

"Haha, Third Brother,

I told you! How could such a good person as Wayne agree to Father's absurd self-appointed decision?"

"That's right, Big Brother is right!"

Watching the three brothers trade such clumsy flattery back and forth, Wayne shook his head with an amused smile.

He turned to Aurora.

"Do we have any new Sacred Domain Scrolls?"

Aurora shook her head.

"No, Young Master."

Seeing this,

Wayne looked at the three burly men, and they all shook their heads as well.

Seeing this result,

Wayne rubbed his forehead. He finally understood that General Deli truly intended for his sons

to sign those contract-of-servitude clauses.

"One of you, go purchase some Sacred Domain Scrolls.

Remember to buy several extras.

We'll need them in the future."

As he spoke, the spatial ring on his hand flashed, and a high-grade magic crystal appeared in his palm.

Wayne tossed it to Aurora.

"You discuss it among yourselves. Once you've settled it, bring out the food.

It's early in the morning.

I imagine you haven't eaten yet. I'll go take a bath first."

With that,

he rose to his feet and headed for the bathroom.

Seeing this,

Aurora glanced at the high-grade magic crystal in her hand before turning her gaze to her three brothers.

As for Wayne's hint,

Aurora naturally understood it: before the Sanctuary Contract was signed, they were not to be allowed downstairs.

"Big Brother, you go."

As she spoke,

she handed the high-grade magic crystal to Andrew.

Andrew accepted it and nodded slightly.

Then he stood up, and with Aurora seeing him off all the way,

he finally left the villa.

Half an hour later,

Wayne, soaking in the bath and listening to the voices outside, couldn't help curling his lips into a smile.

"Little sister!

You eat this well every day—unlimited elemental ore and Dragonfang Rice—yet you never thought of your Third Brother sooner.

We came out of the same factory at the same time!"

"Third Brother, what kind of talk is that!

Didn't we all come from the same factory? Why divide us into high and low, noble and base?"

"Second Brother,

you're talking nonsense. Even Mother's potion-making was divided into batches.

The potions Mother brewed more than ten years ago as a level-five wood-element wizard, and the potions she brewed now as a level-six wizard—

how could they possibly be the same?"
