Contract duration: 101 days, start time: May 2, 1668, 19:15, end time: August 10, 1668, 19:15.

As the three contracts dissolved into golden light and vanished into the air, the Purple-clad Girl Annan pressed a button, and the Arcane Lock Collars of the three individuals named Ashe were simultaneously released.

Welcome to the team. Let us get along well for the next 101 days.

Annan spread her arms as if to welcome them: I am the head of the Funeral Firm, Annan Dolan. You can call me Director, Miss, or Boss, but I prefer another titlePurple Moth. This is my Butler, Banjeet Mikalis, also the second member of the firm.

The young Butler politely nodded to them and handed them each a handkerchief.

Igor accepted the handkerchief with a cold demeanor, feeling somewhat reluctanttime was indeed tight, and they were under someone elses roof and had to bow their heads. The other party was adamant about not modifying the absolute control clause, so Igor could only add clauses to protect their rights.

Besides, Annans reasoning was sound: she needed them for some very secretive tasks, and without having been granted control, there was no basis for mutual trust. How could she possibly reveal her true needs?

Ashe, staring at the handkerchief, suddenly asked a strange question: Is it also 1668 here?n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Hmm? Annan accurately captured the keyword: Also?

We come from the Blood Moon Kingdom, Igors eyes flickered, according to the Blood Moon calendar, today is also May 2, 1688.

The fact that different nations shared the same calendar was intriguing, hinting at secrets from ancient times, so everyone silently agreed to drop the topic.

Actually, theres something Ive been wanting to ask for a long time, Ashe said. Despite being from different nations, why do we share the same language and have similar writing systems?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Ashe with subtle expressions. Annan, with high emotional intelligence, directly posed the question, It seems the Blood Moon Kingdom is quite a barbaric place, havent they popularized basic education yet?

I wont refute the first part of your statement, but he really did fall through the cracks of basic education, Igor sighed. Please dont generalize his individual behavior to all of the Blood Moon people.

Igors expression shifted slightlyit was an easily discernible shock, but indeed very effective. Annans control over them was more direct and thorough than imagined.

Have you checked her body?

There are no traces of Miracle or spirit. Cleos stated, Theoretically, she should pose no threat, but

Annan understood Cleos concerns. Trespassers like Ashe and his companions, who had burned their bridges, were one thing, but a white-haired little girl of unknown origin was indeed a very dangerous bomb. If it were any other time, Annan would also suggest letting the little girl sleep eternally in her dreams, for after all, what family would be willing to take in a child from the Exotic Lands?

But as it happened, Annan needed People from the Exotic Lands, and children were more suitable candidates for her needs than adults.

She thought for a moment and asked, Do you remember your name?

After a moment of silence, the white-haired little girl said, Lise, my name is Lise.

Annan. Cleos couldnt help but interject, A contract signed by a minor has no legal force.

Only Fabric does not recognize the contractual power of minors, but the basic Virtual Realm Contract does not care about the age of the parties. Annan extended her hand to the little girl, Shake hands.

However, the little girl stepped back in fear, as if Annans palm concealed needles.

The beautiful Purple Moth slightly narrowed her eyes, her smile becoming even more radiant, Whats the matter, dont you like shaking hands with sister? If you shake hands with sister, she will be willing to take care of you, buy you pretty clothes, tasty snacks, and even tell you fairy tales to lull you to sleep at night~

Igor watched from the sidelines with a cold gaze. Although this woman named Annan seemed somewhat nave in her methods, her heart was definitely decisive and cunning. First, she sold them to the Four Pillars Cult, then she colluded with the Red Caps to attack the Cult and rescue them, and after that, she let the Red Caps threaten them, only to appear herself as their savior It was a roller coaster of emotions and events.

The minds of the People from the Exotic Lands, already groggy, were turned into a muddle of Lala Fatty sauce after such a rapid succession of bewildering events, leaving them utterly incapable of making any accurate judgments.

Upon seeing Annan, who had trafficked them, actually willing to rescue them in their hour of need, it was easy to trigger a victim mentality where they could be so moved by the perpetrators kindness that they would lose their reason and naturally sign a humiliating slave Contract.

Fortunately, all three of them were hardened villains who had clawed their way out of the manure pit; even if not at their best, it was almost a survival instinct for them to see through such basic deceitAshe wouldnt be fooled either.

Although the plan failed, this did not mean Annan was incompetent.

Her ability to quickly regain composure and negotiate with Igor, even willing to make certain concessions to expedite the signing of the contract, was enough for Igor to take a second look at hergreedy but not avaricious, indifferent to sunk costs, not coveting the best outcome, always able to make the optimal decision, she had the makings of a perfectly rational person.

Therefore, Igor knew that if they did not sign the contract, Annan would definitely not let them goputting oneself in anothers shoes, if Igor could not secure a scarce resource, he would rather destroy it than let it slip away.

Similarly, if the girl named Lise refused Annans invitation, then Annan would no longer treat her as a cute little girl but would purely see her as a scarce resource.

One can be gentle and kind to a little girl, but when dealing with a scarce resource, one only needs to make the optimal decision.

Perhaps sensing danger, the white-haired little girl retreated even more, her lips pouting in distress, tears nearly spilling over.

She looked around, then suddenly burst into tears and lunged toward one of them

Daddy!
