Chapter 1211: A New Contract

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: A New Contract

The one who just had a stern face clearly wanting benefits is him, and now the one saying such a contract will ruin relationships is also him. By the way, since when did the Investigation Department and the Fenrir Race have such a good relationship? Wasn’t it just tense moments ago?

"None of this matters! What matters is the future!" Pei Yan looked at Finley, whose face was full of confusion, and continued to coax tactfully: "Why did I come here? What brought me and the cheering forces of the Dragon Realm together?"

"Is it the Blood Slaughter?" Someone in the crowd of the Fenrir Race answered softly.

"Correct! It’s the Blood Slaughter! The Blood Slaughter is our common enemy! Only by defeating them in the upcoming crucial battle will we have a future, otherwise we will all be losers, either dying without a burial place or living a meager existence underground. The freedom you cherish the most will become a joke."

Finris had already regained her composure from Pei Yan’s sudden change. She was certainly not a little girl easily swayed by Pei Yan’s lofty words. Taking a deep breath, Finris looked at Pei Yan and smiled, "Mr. Pei, what exactly do you want to discuss? Please be direct."

"Straightforward!" Pei Yan gave Finris a thumbs up and continued: "I do hope to sign the contract, and I don’t want to reduce the quantity! However, I can assure you that the validity of this contract will only last during this battle period. Once the battle is over and the various planes return to peace, our agents will terminate the contract with your clan! Of course, if both sides develop emotions in battle afterward and wish to continue as partners, it will be their freedom, and we won’t interfere. Do you think this is feasible?"

"Are you talking about an equal collaboration contract?" Long Jin frowned slightly after listening to Pei Yan’s description and asked.

"Collaboration contract?"

Seeing Pei Yan looking perplexed, Long Jin knew this guy was completely unaware of such a contract’s existence, so he explained helplessly: "Compared to the master-servant contract, which is beneficial to one side, the collaboration contract is fair to both parties. It’s not originally intended for us, but for those temporary mercenaries in the Magic Realm to prevent internal discord. The contract can include mutual goals or timeframes. Once the contract conditions are fulfilled, the contract is automatically terminated. During the contract period, the signing parties will develop extraordinary combat synergy, and any breach of contract will result in punishment for the offending party, regardless of which side it is."

"Oh! So there’s this kind of contract... Well! Yes! That’s the kind of contract! Would Clan Leader Finris be willing to cooperate with our Investigation Department?" Pei Yan scratched his head sheepishly, looking at Finris embarrassedly. Having embarrassed himself twice over contract issues, Pei Yan vowed to find someone knowledgeable or get a complete contract encyclopedia from various planes for thorough study once he returned.

"Hmm?" This time it was Finris’s turn to hesitate. Pei Yan’s condition sounded much more reasonable now. The Investigation Department has become a hot organization among the various planes, backed by the Master of Origin from the Cornerstone Realm. Once this battle is survived, the rise of the Investigation Department is forthcoming. Taking this opportunity to establish a good partnership could be beneficial for the clan.

"I am willing!"

A crisp voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd. Pei Yan turned to see Tushan Suisui standing beside Hu Jiu, standing on her tiptoes, raising her hand, and sticking her tongue out at Pei Yan with a smile: "If it’s a collaboration contract, I can decide for my father and send out five thousand members of our Nine-tailed Fox Race’s affiliated Beast Race to sign this collaboration contract with the Investigation Department. I can have someone from the clan discuss the details with Mr. Pei, but I wonder if Mr. Pei values our clan’s combat power."

"I do value it! Of course... um! Wait!" Pei Yan turned his head and quietly asked Long Jin beside him: "Is there a limit on the number of collaboration contracts?"

"No! I’ve told you, this thing was originally created by mercenaries. It’s not a problem for hundreds of people to sign one contract for the same task."

"I do indeed value it! I, Pei Yan, will always remember the support of the Nine-tailed Fox Race. So, I promise Ms. Suisui, beyond our collaboration, if your Nine-tailed Fox Race needs me, Pei Yan, to handle anything, as long as it doesn’t exceed my moral boundaries and is within my capability, I will do my utmost to complete it." Hearing Long Jin say there’s no limit on collaboration contracts, Pei Yan was overjoyed, and he immediately accepted Tushan Suisui’s proposal, extremely satisfied with her performance, and giving his promise.

"Exchanging five thousand clan members for Mr. Pei’s promise, it seems that our race has profited."

"Hahaha!" Even Saints cannot help but lose composure when praised, and Pei Yan, not being a Saint, burst into hearty laughter at Tushan Suisui’s soft-spoken compliments, already pleased with the Investigation Department’s growing strength.

Finris looked at Pei Yan’s smiling face, then at the child from the Nine-tailed Fox Race sent to serve Hu Jiu, and sighed in her heart at the girl’s skill and boldness to decisively win Pei Yan’s favor. This time, not only did her daughter lose, but she also lost to the opponent’s bold move.

"Mr. Pei, is it too late for me to agree now?" Finris looked at Pei Yan with a hint of regret on her face and smiled bitterly.

Hearing Finris’s words, Pei Yan was startled at first, but his emotions were quickly controlled and calmed down. He glanced at Tushan Suisui’s drawing-like smiling face. Pei Yan now confirmed that Tushan Suisui hadn’t used any magic on him, yet just in a smile and a glance, she magnified his joyful mood infinitely, causing him to naturally feel favorable and agreeable to her words.

Such a formidable Nine-tailed Fox Race!

Having the same sentiment as Finris in his heart, Pei Yan quickly withdrew his gaze and responded to Finris: "Not late! Not late! Anything that can enhance the combat power of both sides is naturally welcomed."

"Alright! My Fenrir Race is willing to send five thousand subordinate clansmen to sign a contract with the Investigation Department. Furthermore, my Fenrir Race is willing to send fifty clan members of Level Seven, drawing three hundred Level Seven members from the Wolf Race, to sign this contract with their experts on the same level, totaling three hundred fifty clan members."

For a normal clan it’s one thing, but adding fifty members of the Divine Beast Race will provide considerable support to the Investigation Department’s mid-to-high-tier battle force. Pei Yan knew this was a necessary move for Finris to save face, so he generously praised Finris’s decision. He never expected that for Hu Jiu’s personal issues, he could negotiate back such great benefits! If there weren’t outsiders present, Pei Yan would genuinely feel like taking Hu Jiu in his arms and embracing him tightly. This was truly the meaning of "getting the most value with the least effort"!ℯ
