In short:

When he signed this contract, an Alchemy Mark would be applied to his body by magic.

If he fulfilled the contract, the Alchemy Mark on his body would disappear after the terms were completed, and the contract would then be destroyed.

But if he reneged on it, the ‘Golden Merchant’s Sword’ team of the Golden Commerce Guild would track him down using the Alchemy Mark as a clue.

Noland Lee blinked as he looked at the contract in front of him and suddenly had a wild idea…

“Boss, I have a question.” Noland asked as he read:

“The Alchemy Mark mentioned in the contract, can it be forged or modified?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m just wondering if violators could move their Alchemy Marks to others and let them take the fall.”

Kent chuckled heartily after hearing this and replied:

“That’s impossible. You can think of the Alchemy Mark as a lock. The Alchemy Runes used to make it are the material, craftsmanship, and password of this lock. The Alchemy Mark on the contract is personally made by a Great Sage in the Alchemy Cathedral. Only the Great Sage knows what Alchemy Runes he engraved in the Mark. Unless the forger is stronger than the Great Sage, there’s no way to crack the Alchemy Mark, let alone know what Runes are used or how they are arranged.”

Noland nodded thoughtfully, picked up the pen, signed his name ‘Ray Lee’, and then pressed his thumbprint onto the contract.

A faint energy fluctuation emanated from the contract, pouring into his thumb, leaving an invisible, intangible Alchemy Mark on his fingertip. Kent took a clean Identity Card out of his pocket and placed it in Noland’s hand.

Seeing Noland examining his thumb, Kent reminded him:

“I believe you won’t back out, Ray Lee, but I still need to add something. Cutting off your thumb won’t work, the Alchemy Mark will move to another part of your body. Some fools have tried it before…’

Kent gestured:

“Let’s go. You can leave the contract at the front desk. Follow me to the ‘Money Dream’ for a drink. Oh, right, I forgot you can’t take off your Breathing Mask. Well… you can just show up and formally meet the team.”

Noland handed the contract to the receptionist, who had been curiously watching him, and turned to follow Kent:

“Boss, what tasks will our team have for the next seven days?”

Kent opened the company’s front door and began walking along the street, speaking as he went:

“Take three days off first. On Day Four, we’re gonna install an Alchemy Facility for collecting dust in Sector 7. We’ll have to check all the streets and sewers, both above and below ground. On the seventh day, the town gates close and no one can enter or exit Union City; we must be on standby in the company at all times. On the eighth day, it’s Spray Powder Day. The whole town will be filled with Metallic Dust, and for three consecutive days, you won’t see the sun or the moon. If you need to go outside, make sure you wear your Breathing Mask, or the Metallic Dust could kill you…”

The two men walked through the crowd, traversing the bustling street for about ten minutes, until they arrived in front of a lavishly decorated store.

The store’s front was constructed from dark black glass that did not let light through.

Glowing tubes hanging on the wall outlined the figure of a sensual woman and the design of clinking cocktail glasses.

As soon as he saw the front of the “Money Dream”, Noland knew this place wasn’t for him.

Being a model young man of the new era, he didn’t smoke, drink, go clubbing, go to KTVs or get foot massages. He certainly wouldn’t be able to handle the atmosphere inside the “Money Dream”.

As for beautiful women.

He had even held himself back from the curvaceous Sully, so what other woman could make his blood boil?

None of them.

Absolutely none.

‘”Money Dream’ is a property of the Golden Commerce Guild, inside they have card rooms, bars, guestrooms, hot springs, swimming pools, a dining hall, a hoying gvm and nn Ragicallv_ anv leiqnrp or entertainment activity you can think of, they have it.”

Kent stood at the entrance, introducing the place to Noland who was beside him:

“All expenses for security staff here are deducted by 20% but you can’t purchase anything on credit. You can find all your daily needs here. If you can’t get used to living in the dormitory, you can move here. The procedures are simple, and you can enjoy a housing subsidy.”

Noland nodded in agreement, “I think the dormitory is quite good, it’s sufficient.”

He really meant it.

He had found out the first time he used the public shower and the washroom that all the facilities were very clean and fairly new, hardly anyone was using them.

After snooping around the corridor a couple of times, he was almost certain all his colleagues lived in “Money Dream” instead of the dormitory.

This suited him perfectly as it made the entire dormitory quiet, perfect for reading and working out.

After hearing Noland’s words, Kent laughed awkwardly:

“The life in the Empire has carved rigidity and dogma deep into our bones. I was like you when I first got here, thinking I should save the money for my family or to start my own family. But then I realized, smooth skin of a woman feels so much better than saving money-

A woman’s voice, dignified and graceful, drifted through the half-opened door:

“Oh? Kent, which wild woman are you planning to spend money on? Have you gotten my permission yet?”

At this, Kent’s expression flickered, and he laughed nervously in embarrassment..
