Yohan could almost hear the curses that Kent was saying to him inside his mind. But Yohan also knew that he was intrigued by his offer.
The disease Klien’s sister was suffering was no normal disease but an ancient curse that did not have any cure in the human world. The only way to undo this curse was to kill the one who has cast it on the poor child.
And Klien Kent should be well aware of the fact that he would not be able to handle the giver of the curse since it was a king. And now just any demon king either, it was Leviathan, the king of envy and also known as Azure.
From what Zane had told Yohan and what he had heard, she was a ruthless dominator who enjoyed all kinds of pleasure. And if she liked something, she would get it by force.
She was the ideal demon one could think of and Yohan wanted to make her his subordinate in the future.
“Ha…Hahahahahaha. Y-You think you can help me out with that? You say that you are aware of the disease my sister has but I don’t you do. What my sister is suffering from is not a real disease but-”
“A curse. It is Leviathan’s curse, right? I also know that your sister does not have much time left on this earth. If I were you then I won’t be looking this gifted horse in the mouth.”
Klien Kent looked taken aback but intrigued as well now. His luck was something he could not believe and that was also what made him suspicious of this person.
Not to mention, the ease with which his aid had been able to suppress Klien said all about his skills. There was no need for these people to go out of their way to recruit them. They were too powerful on their own.
“Why me? Why do you need me if you are already so powerful? Are you both even humans?”
There was no way these two were humans but Klien wanted to make sure of his facts. He needed to be certain before he could pull if his ultimate move. It would send any non-human flying but it would kill a human.
And Klien did not want or need human blood spilled by his hands.
“Humans? Well, you can say I am half-human. Also, I won’t try to use any weird powers if I were you. Remember that your family is still in a hostage situation.”
All thoughts of trying to kill the pair in front of him fled Klien Kent’s mind. He had no other choice but to surrender now.
Between his freedom and his sister’s life, he would give priority to his sister. She was his everything and Klien was willing to take any opportunity when it came to her.
“Fine, I give up. I will follow your orders in the future. So can you let me go now?”
Yohan and Zane shared an amused look. It was amusing to see Klien Kent think he ever had a choice. He was always going to end up as Yohan’s subordinate anyway.
But before they could let Klien Kent go, it was important to put him in a contract. And Yohan needed to put his magic inside Klien Kent to achieve that.
“Now, don’t resist or it will hurt a lot more than it should. And also, I want to say sorry but I know that it will not help you. So all I will say is to brace yourself.”
“Huh, what do you-”
Klien Kent never got a chance to finish his question before his pain-filled scream filled the room. Zane and Yohan had already soundproofed the room with magic since this was supposed to be the outcome all along.
The magic would feel like the person’s body was melting from the inside if they resisted. And it seemed like Klien was resisting with all his might.
“Tsk, unlucky bastard. Doesn’t he know that he is just prolonging his suffering by doing this? He should just give in now.”
Zane sound disappointed in the human and for good reasons. Klien Kent had been issued a warning against resisting but he was still doing it anyway. It was his instincts that were fighting against him getting branded right now.
It was a sad thing to see all that potential being used to make such a stupid decision. But humans were often irrational like this.
“Klien Kent, I told you not to resist. Think of your sister and come back to your senses.”
The resistance lessened before flowing out of Klien’s body. The magic also seemed to be having an easier time going through him and creating a bond now.
Yohan was happy to see that he had succeeded in gaining a new subordinate who would help him out in his time of need.
And once Klien Kent’s body finally sagged in relief, Yohan felt his magic link them in a contract. Klein Kent was his subordinate now and a warlock at that.
“What do you n-need me to do?”
Klien Kent was trying to catch his breath as he watched his new master in front of him. It felt weird but right to think of Yohan that way. It was still a little awkward for him to grasp everything but his magic seemed fuller as well.
Whatever this contract and the person in front of him had done, it had given Klien Kent a boost in his powers. And he had not even known that it was possible to be able to do this.
“Hmmm, let me see what I want you to do. Ah, I know. For now, stay in the human world and gain influence. You are someone with a lot of connections so get out people high up in the industry ladder. I am sure it will be as beneficial for you as it will be for us.”
“And is that all? You don’t want me for my powers or secrets? Just for the industrial connections?”
Klien Kent sounded suspicious as he looked at the two individuals in front of him. They were an enigma to him but he had still decided to sign a bond with them. He was not sure if this was the right thing to do or not, but he seemed to have no other choice.
His instincts warned him against these people, telling him to be careful and not to mess around. But it was already too late for it to matter.
“Is that all you say? Well, there will be more things you might have to do for us in the future since a warlock is hard to come by. But you can relax for now and go back to doing your own thing. For now, all I want from you are your connections.”
Yohan could tell that Klien Kent was having a hard time dealing with his words and how to process them. It was a shame that Klien Kent was such a paranoid bastard and was unwilling to let his guard down even with a contract in place.
“Well, that went better than we expected. We did not even have to kill someone this time to show how serious we were about our threat. So that concludes one part of our mission here.”
Zane stretched his body high in the air as he worked the kinks out of it. He was having a lot of fun while playing human.
Yohan was sure that Zane was having more fun than him and Zane also thrived in a political environment. The more dramatic a scene was, the more power Zane had over its execution.
Having such a handy person at his side was a great boon for Yohan.
“Now that this talk is over, should we start heading to the dinner party at the Khans? The real show will start tomorrow so we need to be prepared for it.”
Zane sounded excited and so was Yohan. It was the total of all their hard work in the human world. And a little treat was deserved after everything that had happened so far.
“Let’s head out now. Knowing Layla, it might be an event worth looking forward to. I am excited to know what they had prepared for us.”
Yohan was excited but for more reasons than before. He remembered seeing Layla’s full and flush body in her tight gown. It had looked soft and smooth, ready to be touched.
Layla was also a fantastic lay in bed and it would also be nice to see Maya again. The evening could not come fast enough for Yohan.
“You got aroused by the feeling of dominance, didn’t you? You know you have weird kinks man but whatever.”
Yohan was in such a good mood that he even let Zane’s filthy comments get past him. Nothing was going to bring his mood down.
In the end, it was the two of them that headed to the party a little late. Yohan did not want to appear like an overly-excited little kid. He needed to carry himself in a manner befitting the current him.
The Khan mansion was his destination and it looked the same as the last time he had been there. He was excited to be back here, especially since he had died on these grounds before.
