Chapter 247: Non disclosure agreement

"A treaty? What can I do with that? I think you know what it would take for me to reveal my secret!" 

Shane was confident in himself, or rather the fact that the mysterious space the Lesser Starlet fox had entered when it was injured, was interesting enough for Kalur to understand what Shane wanted him to do.

Meanwhile, Umbra could enter and leave the unknown space without Shane using a skill, he had been unconscious at that time after all!

"Do you want me to sign one of the system's non-disclosure agreements? With that, I won't be able to reveal your secret to anyone without receiving a severe punishment!"

Shane neither agreed to Kalur's question nor did he reject it as he said

-[If Party B reveals Party A's secrets intentionally or otherwise, he/she will be punished according to the potential dangers the revelation entails. Party C and everyone else who learns about this secret will be informed by the system that they will be automatically included in the non-disclosure agreement! This means that Party B along with all the other parties involved will receive a severe punishment, every single time Party A's secret is disclosed to someone new! However, if Party A allows Party B and others to reveal the secret to specific individuals, none of the parties will receive a punishment, but those specific individuals have to be included in the non-disclosure agreement as well!! Remark: The punishments are inclusive of but not limited to light sentence, consistent sentence and in extreme cases, death!]

Shane was proud of the additional clause he put together within a minute and he was sure that it included almost everything important.

However, when Kalur read the clause he couldn't help but ask,

"Did you prepare that beforehand?" 

However, after he saw how Shane shook his head, the Old Emperor could only say

"Not bad, to put it simply, every time your secret will be revealed by me, I'll receive a punishment. If we were to add the rest of the clauses, those I tell the secret will be included in this agreement as well. 

Every single time I and the others, told the secret, we would receive a punishment that ranges from light pain to torture, according to the dangers the revelation entails. 

This part is not really described well, but it's perfectly suited for the system that can calculate something like this without many problems…

Are you sure that you are not a learned ambassador or a professional?"

Kalur knew that Shane was young which was obvious through the fact that he had yet to reach the Expert stage.

He was unaware of the age at which human children were eligible to enter the Primordial Dimensions, but Kalur was certain that Shane hadn't awoken the system long ago.

It was already rare to find a centenarian who knew how the system worked, but Shane, who had yet to turn 17 was aware of many functions!

'Does he know how the system works or was this just a fluke?'

If Shane were, to be honest, he just said lots of terms he had learned from Aunt Kia, that she had taught to him during his childhood.

There were a few things he had tweaked a little in order to suit the whole agreement.

Nevertheless, he had done a great job and he was proud of himself as Kalur said

"I'll sign the agreement, but if possible I want you to give me the permission to reveal your secret to the Empress, Emperor, and Princess. I won't tell them about your secret directly, but a time may come where it could be necessary and I want to be prepared beforehand.

As stated in the non-disclosure agreement, they will automatically be included in the agreement, but I doubt that the consequences of revealing it to the three of them will be severe!"

Shane had nothing to say against this and less than half an hour later, they signed the agreement.

After that, the system notarized it before every included party was sent a copy of the contract!

Once that was done, Shane noticed how impatient Kalur was, only for the nature Elemental who had waited patiently to intervene.

"I'm sorry, Old Emperor, but Shane is advised to not move for the time being...if he has to walk or do strenuous activity, I would suggest waiting for a few hours until his injury is completely healed!"

Before Old Emperor Kalur could react, Shane said,

"I don't need to move to explain or show anything about my secret, but if possible, I would like to be left alone with the Old Emperor...Otherwise, we'll have to wait until I can move to be able to leave the room…"

When Shane had said so, Kalur asked the nature Elemental if he had to do something else to heal Shane's wound, which the Elemental denied with a shake of his head.

He was confident that Shane's injury required only adequate rest and enough nutrition because the healing effect would be in effect for the next few hours.

After that, Old Emperor Kalur excused himself as he took out a small golden orb in which he injected mana.

This created a small spatial portal, which astonished Shane.

Even the Lesser Starlet fox looked at the spatial portal, which was three meters wide, in astonishment. Both Shane and the Lesser Starlet Fox had been enveloped by a thick membrane of crimson-red colored mana.

They were transported through the spatial portal even before they had time to move. Soon they found themselves within a wide room that looked like an oversized one room apartment.

A moment later, Shane and the Lesser Starlet fox laid on the king-sized bed before the mana enveloping them vanished into thin air. 

"I have to apologize for the sudden change of our location, but as you said, nobody should hear your secret, right? Now there won't be anyone except me, and maybe the Lesser Starlet fox who hears you! We are in one of the palace's guest rooms and there is not a single being from another race visiting us, except you."

Shane couldn't help but smile dryly. The Old Emperor was far more curious about the Hidden Paradise, which he had called 'skill' or 'dimension' than Shane had expected him to be.

As such, the first thing he did was to say,

"I already said that I don't have a dimension, but it's something similar, just superior...but before I start elaborating everything, I should apologize!

It might sound weird right now, but I brought a few humans with me...they have been in the dimension all this while, but...well…"

He knew that Old Emperor Kalur would find Talia and the others if he were to allow him to enter the Hidden Paradise which was definitely something Kalur would request.

As such it was better to be honest from the beginning.

"Ah, you meant that? I knew about that from the moment you stepped on our planet. The special permission certificate you have received a while ago notified all royalties about it being activated.

This included the fact that you brought 11 more living beings with you! When I saw that there was only one ambassador and Ilya reported that you had only one tamed beast I was a little astonished.

I think it would be better if you would explain to me as to what's going on?" 

Shane shouldn't have been astonished by the obvious fact that the special permission certificate he had obtained would notify every high-ranked member of the Elus race about the number of people he brought along with him to the Elementals Empire.

However, what surprised him was the number of living beings they were notified about and he questioned his calculation skills for a moment as he mumbled.

"My friends..are 8 adding Umbra and the ambassador...it's 10, why 11? It shouldn't have added me into this number because I'm not included in 'more'...Does that mean the Hidden Paradise counts too? But I bound it to myself...we are one entity now, aren't we?"

Old Emperor Kalur didn't understand a single thing Shane wanted to say. He didn't know what this Hidden Paradise was, or what he bound to himself. But recalling the Dimension Shane had previously mentioned and the fact that he had something superior, Kalur's mind began to rattle as it finally clicked.

"Don't tell me you were able to purchase a world seed!! Was that your unique constitution??"

Shane scratched the back of his head as he nodded before he started to explain everything neatly.
