EBE Chapter 1661 Three-Party Contract?
Chapter 1661 Three-Party Contract?
After a struggle,
Kil'jaeden finally boarded Li Yun's flying carpet-like prop with great reluctance and headed towards the central area.
no way,
He really couldn't be persuaded!
Rather than letting Li Yun and Evelyna go to the central area alone and make the already bad situation even worse.
Why don't he come along too?
Whether he goes or not, he, as the 'person in charge,' will not escape responsibility.
The flying carpet, which could accommodate more than ten people, was very spacious, with the three great demons each occupying one end.
Li Yun was in charge of controlling it, sitting cross-legged at the front of the flying carpet, completely focused and showing no intention of getting distracted.
Evelynn and Kil'jaeden stood to the left and right, their faces solemn, equally silent.
Ok,
In fact, only Kil'jaeden had a solemn expression.
Because the succubus Evelina had just pulled out a bag of snacks from somewhere and was munching on them.
Her carefree demeanor made it impossible for anyone to guess that she was about to meet the powerful demon prince Sargeras.
A silent atmosphere enveloped the entire flying carpet, which even the strong winds from its rapid forward movement could not dispel.
Kil'jaeden remained composed, trying to mask his inner turmoil with a cool and aloof demeanor, hoping to gain leverage in any potential negotiations that might follow.
It wasn't until the succubus lady to his right leisurely finished a bag of snacks, then switched to an even noisier treat and started munching away like a pig rooting in a trough, that things began to change.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore!
He felt it was essential to know in advance what Li Yun and Evelyna had experienced inside that ruin!
Even if it comes at an extra cost!
Kil'jaeden coughed twice, drawing the attention of Li Yun and Evelynn, and then spoke with a stern face:
"Gentlemen, I said I would host a welcome dinner for you two and then we could sit down and talk about what happened inside the ruins. But I was in a hurry to leave and forgot about it."
"There are only the three of us on the flying carpet now, no one else."
"I think we can have an open and honest talk now, right?"
“Of course, anytime, anywhere,” Lu Li replied without turning his head.
For a fleeting moment, a hint of joy flashed in Kil'jaeden's eyes, before he quickly added:
"But it's not free."
Kil'jaeden frowned, his face contorted with pain, and retorted:
"But won't you still have to report the truth to Prince Sargeras afterwards?"
"Are you planning to ask His Highness for favors later?"
"Of course not, I'm not stupid." Lu Li chuckled lightly, still not turning around.
"So you think I'm a fool?" Kil'jaeden was furious, his voice clearly hostile.
"You were able to tell His Highness Prince Sargeras about your experiences for free later, but now you're asking me for something in return?"
"Isn't that because you wanted to know beforehand?" Lu Li turned around this time, glancing at Kil'jaeden with a half-smile:
"Advanced on-demand viewing must come with certain conditions."
"You!" Kil'jaeden was so angry that he couldn't speak.
After a long stalemate, they had no choice but to compromise and concede:
"Fine!"
"What conditions do you want for you to tell me?"
Li Yun, who was sitting cross-legged at the very front of the flying carpet, seemed to have been waiting for this question and immediately responded:
"Three-party contract".
"Huh?" Kil'jaeden didn't understand for a moment, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty.
Fortunately, Lu Li quickly provided a detailed explanation:
"It means signing a slave contract in order to achieve the goal of mutual honesty and forming a united front."
Upon hearing this, Kil'jaeden's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Even though he was mentally prepared and had a premonition that the other party would make an exorbitant demand,
I never expected that this question would be so outrageous!
"Are you crazy? I'm going to sign a slave contract with you just to hear about your experiences in the ruins?"
Do you think I would agree?!
Kil'jaeden could no longer pretend and questioned incredulously.
"Of course I know you wouldn't agree," Lu Li muttered to himself silently, but outwardly maintained a calm demeanor as he reassured her.
"Don't get agitated. I said it's a three-party contract, not just between you and me."
"Instead, it's you, me, and Evelyna who will sign it together."
“You acknowledge me as your master, then I acknowledge Evelina as my master, and finally Evelina acknowledges you as her master.”
"In that case, it would appear as if we had signed three slave contracts, but in reality, our status would still be completely equal."
"If everyone checks and balances each other, no one can deceive anyone else, wouldn't that achieve the goal of mutual honesty and a united front?"
"Huh?!" Kil'jaeden's mind didn't quite process it for a moment.
Lu Li didn't wait for his response and continued speaking at her own pace:
"I need your cooperation with Evelina and me to put on a show in front of Prince Sargeras."
"But in order to prevent you from changing your mind halfway, we need to sign a three-party contract."
"Once you sign, I'll immediately tell you about what happened inside the ruins."
"Moreover, under the effect of the servant contract, every word is guaranteed to be true, and there is absolutely no deception."
Hearing this, Kil'jaeden finally understood, narrowed his eyes warily, and said in a dangerous tone:
"What you said before was all a lie..."
"That divine ruin wasn't just an empty shell, was it? What exactly did you two find inside?!"
When questioned, Lu Li turned his head away leisurely and did not respond.
Evelyna acted like an outsider throughout.
Although his mouth never stopped moving, all he made were chewing sounds!
Kil'jaeden, having been ignored by the two for quite some time, could only speak up again when he realized they weren't going to talk to him:
"What's the point of you doing this? Why do you have to be so wary of me?"
"If I don't agree to the conditions for you two to sign a tripartite agreement, won't you still have to tell the truth when you get to Prince Sargeras?"
"Why don't you just tell me the truth now, so I can offer you some advice and think of a solution!"
Lu Li remained silent.
Evelina continued to make smacking chewing sounds.
Kil'jaeden waited a while longer.
Seeing that the two were determined not to budge, he finally relented and said:
"I've fallen into your trap..."
"Fine, I'll sign! But I want to be the last one to sign!"
"You could actually choose to refuse," Lu Li said, turning his head again, his tone indifferent.
“Once we arrive, we will describe our experiences inside the ruins to Prince Sargeras. You are welcome to listen in for free.”
"Ha..." Kil'jaeden was so angry that he laughed on the spot.
He never expected that his future would become so bumpy after advancing to a high-level monster!
You know, even when he was a mid-level monster, he was never treated like this before!
He could only accept his fate and said helplessly:
Who knows how you'll describe it then!
"Please sign the contract! Then tell me what you experienced inside the ruins!"
