I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 579 Compensation Deal



"Wait… Are you a true dragon?" asked Jayna back in surprise.

"Hahaha… Not really. You could say I am a descendant of a true dragon." replied Alder.

"B-But.. You are…" said Jayna.

"A monster?! Brat, this magical world. Anything is possible in this world." said Alder casually.

"*Clap* Alright. Since we already found little Anna, how about we continue our previous discussion, Extalia?" said Nabe.

"You mean about the compensation deal?" asked Extalia.

"Yup. Besides, you could ask the others since I notice the brats manage to gather your people." said Nabe.

"Sure. But, didn't you leave Yawan and those girls behind? How did you…" said Extalia.

Before she finishes her sentence, Two Ruby Champions come from one of the cave paths while bringing the Seven Faces girls and Yawan. The two ruby Champions put them on the ground while still tightly bound.

"Although I could no longer control the dungeon, it didn't mean I couldn't use my magic. All it needs is just a simple tracking spell and control them into this location." said Nabe proudly.

"Everyone!!" heard a surprised voice from their side.

Currently, Angus and others are located quite far from the camp. Therefore, she didn't expect that someone would intrude on them. Although they had already sensed the intruder from the beginning, they didn't mind her since they knew the intruder was too weak to hurt them.

"Lilith?!!" called Tylie, the ex-Seven Faces Happy.

At the same time, Seven Faces Disgust immediately stands in front of her friend, trying to release them.

"That's enough, Lilith!! Just go!! You were still able to escape." yelled Ulva the ex-Seven Faces Fear.

As soon as she finished saying that, a red-colored chain binds the Seven Faces Disgust and completely immobile her [4th Circle - Ruby Bind].

The Seven Faces Disgust feels her mana suddenly restricted and loses control over her body. She could only slump into the ground without leaving a single voice.

"Now, everyone is already gathering. So, let's continue our talk." said Nabe happily.

"Aunt Extalia, what is this deal about?" asked Angus in worry.

"It is the compensation for all this trouble. Basically, Nabe is…" replied the Duchess while giving a brief of their deal.

"So, what did you think?" asked the Duchess after explaining the deal.

"Hmm… If His Majesty has already decided, then I have nothing to say." replied Angus shortly.

Even though the Duchess didn't explain the details of the deal and the conversation with King Leon, Angus noticed a few points from this deal. If everything is according to their plan, Heart Kingdom will get massive benefits for the next few years.

"Still, I don't think those comatose Elders and Elder Yawan will agree to sign the contract." said Angus.

"Don't worry about that, kid. This is why I call this stupid lizard in the first place." said Nabe.

"Huh?! Me?!! I thought you called me because you miss me." said Alder.

"Who is going to miss dumbass lizards like you?!! Anyway, just your ability or something to force him to sign the contract." said Nabe.

Alder didn't reply and glared at Nabe with her reptile eyes.

"Nabe… You know you are just crossing the line, right?" asked Alder seriously.

"Yup. I know." replied Nabe without falter.

Before everyone could notice, they already felt the tension in the air. The two powerful combatants didn't release their mana or miasma, but everyone could feel the air suddenly getting heavy.

Even the Seven Faces girls almost passed out from it. Suddenly, the tension went like it had never appeared in the first place.

"Hahaha… I know there is a reason why I find you attractive. You know, not many dared to test me after knowing my identity or what I am capable of. Alright, I will do it. But, just this one time." said Alder casually.

Then, everyone could see Alder was getting close to Nabe and muttering something near her ear. Contrary to everyone's expectation, Jayna and Extalia know the lizardman didn't threaten the Red Queen as they notice the shy look in Nabe's eyes while nodding at Alder.

If her skin is not red, everyone will notice the deep blush on her face despite her stoic expression. They don't know what Alder said to Nabe, but their woman instinct knows it touched the Red Queen's icy heart.

Approaching the bounded Yawan, Alder casually grabs him and stares at his eyes for a moment before throwing him away like garbage.

"Alright, it is done. He will sign whatever contract you have." said Alder while returning to eating the monster meat.

"Hmm… That's interesting. I didn't even feel his mana fluctuation or any other energy movement." muttered Angus.

Although Angus is curious about what the lizardman did, he knows not to pry on it. Manipulating someone to sign a contract is nothing new. He is sure that even in the Heart Kingdom, many gangsters or thugs do the same thing.

However, this only works on simple contracts. When it is concerned about a high-level contract such as a soul bound or even a world contract, the person itself needs to accept the contract of their own will. Otherwise, it will be invalid.

Any illusion or mind control will make the contract invalid. The most people could do is just threaten the others to sign the contract. Hence, it is a pretty bizarre and terrifying skill to be capable of anyone signing a high-level contract.

"So, what kind of contract level do you want?" asked Extalia as she also noticed this.

"Let's go for the highness. Let's use World Contract. This way, even if the Nirvas' leader changes, they will be forced to fulfill our agreement." said Nabe while taking out a special brown-colored parchment.

"That's… Are you sure and serious about this, Nabe? If the contract is invalid, your whole race is doomed." said Extalia.

"I never care about my race, Extalia. Like I said before, I hate my kind. The only reason why it still survives today is because of that old man. In some way, they owe a lot of things. So, no one should protest about me forcing this deal." said Nabe.

"Tch.. Fine. As your friend, I am really against this. But, as the Duchess of Heart Kingdom, I can't say anything since we have nothing to lose." said Extalia.

After that, they start to talk over the parchment while stating their conditions and deals. Magically, a word and sentence appear on the brown parchment without anyone writing.

"That's… English?!" said Angus before blinking.

"English?" asked Jayna.

"Wait.. now it turns to a common language? How come?" asked Angus in confusion as the language words in the parchment changed every time he blinked.

"Hmm… That's rare. It seems you somehow have two native mother languages ingrained in you." chimed Alder from the side.

"Mother language?!" asked Angus in confusion.

"Yeah. I believe you people prefer to call it native language. The World Parchment will show the words in the reader's mother or native language. It is rare, but sometimes people have a different mother language like half-breeds. You are not one of them, aren't you?" asked Alder.

"Nope. I am 100% human race." replied Angus truthfully.

"Good. It will be troublesome if you are one." replied Alder.

"May I know why that is?" asked Angus curiously.

"Let's just say we dragons didn't truly like those half-breeds. It is not like we are racist or anything. Well, some of us are too prideful and quite racist, but in this case it is like you see a child from human and lesser animals like dogs or cats." said Alder.

"That's… certainly troublesome. But, are you sure to give me this kind of information about your race? Isn't your kind quite secretive?" said Angus.

"Nahh… This is not important. Besides, you are that chick's lover. So, you should at least know about the culture of the legendary beast." said Alder.

"Did you mean I can't have a child with Jayna?" asked Angus in a serious tone

He also glances at Jayna's roasted monster meat with Anna not far from them. Since the two girls leave to cook the monster meat when they start talking about the contract.

"Brat, what makes you think like that? She may be Phoenix but she is also human. Urgh.. Didn't she explain anything about this?" complained Alder.

"Nope. She always diverted the topic whenever we talked about it." said Angus.

"Then, it is not my place to explain it to you. Although most legendary beasts find half-breed is… troublesome, Phoenix is quite a different case. I don't even know if they could be categorized as a beast." said Alder while muttering in a low voice at the end.

"It seems they are done." added Alder.

Everyone could see the Duchess, Nabe, and Yawan finish stating their deal and signing the contract. The signed contract starts to shine brightly and illuminate the cave before disappearing into nothingness.

After the contract disappears, the injured Yawan slumps on the ground, looking devastated.

"W-What have I done? You… Arghh!!" screamed Yawan in pain at the end.

"Alright, it seems the contract is valid. *Snap*" said Nabe before snapping her finger.

Suddenly, the red chain in their body is loosened up.

"Since the contract is complete, I hope you girls don't trouble our business partner or you will get hurt a lot. You also know the contract content, right?" added Nabe.

"Who's going to become their slaves?" shouted Ulva, the ex-Seven Faces Fear.
