I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 149: Deal

Iccb-Chapter 149:

Hearing Domen’s words, a hint of redness quickly appeared on Erika’s face. She recalled that she rejected Domen before by saying that she already liked someone from her village, and that someone was called Miguel.

At that time, she did not know that Miguel had awakened and just casually blurted his name out to stop Domen from pursuing her anymore. She got careless, as she did not expect Miguel to awaken and come here to the main branch.

Recalling that, her face blushed even more as the thought of Miguel finding out what she just said entered her mind.

"Hmpp! I don’t know what you’re talking about!" She blurted as she walked hurriedly in front of everyone.

Domen looked at her reaction curiously as he turned towards the others. He wanted to obtain answers.

...

In Damian’s office.

Journey and Damian could be seen sitting against each other. Besides Journey was Edith, who casually sipped the tea that Damian had poured for them. Of course, Miguel checked if it was tampered with in any way first before he allowed Edith to drink.

Damian already knew that Edith was one of Journey’s Gold Grade Summon. He looked over curiously at how human-like she was behaving and could not help but ponder what kind of beast she was. How did Journey nurture her to become like that?

Anyway, Damian did not waste any more time either. He did not know Journey’s real attitude and only relied on the intelligence they gathered and what Erika told them about him, so he could not act carelessly in front of him either.

He began to explain to Miguel about the deal and what he should do in order to enter the Red Family’s library, which contained a lot of books, including martial arts techniques and summoning related knowledge they had accumulated throughout the years.

According to him, they will give Journey the identity of a Guest Elder before they can let him enter the library for free. Aside from that, there would be a Grimoire Summoner Competition that would be held in the Meven Empire later on, and they wanted him to participate in it. The rewards he receives would be shared to the Red Family with a share of fifty-fifty.

Miguel guessed that this was the real reason why they willingly gave him the identity of a Guest Elder. They wanted a strong person to represent them in the coming competition and possibly gain some rewards for them.

This move only brings them benefits, no matter what his result in the tournament will be. It would also increase his sense of belonging to the Red Family, and there was a high chance that he would fully integrate once the competition ended.

Miguel thought that it was very interesting and decided to agree. The highest reward for the competition was also something he currently needs.

An opportunity to let two beasts bathe in the empire’s treasured holy water.

According to Damian, the holy water has the miraculous property of allowing the beasts to comprehend their next best evolutionary path to increase their grade to the next one.

This was something that he needed for both Edith and Aaliyah, as his Innate Skill of tracing back to their origins, like what happened to the Volcanic Tortoise, does not work on them. He did not want them to stay in Gold Grade forever, after all.

Aside from that, the place where the holy water was stored was very famous and has been there since a few hundred years ago. Miguel wanted to try his luck and possibly obtain a new sign-in opportunity there.

After all, such a place should have significant historical significance, right?

The Beauty Sign In System should be triggered there, right?

Anyway, aside from that request, they also wanted him to become a part-time professor at the Blazing Academy of Grimoire Users and Martial Artists.

This was the school where outstanding youngsters in the whole Blazing Expanse went to study to further understand how their grimoire and summoning work.

Due to it being close to their headquarters, though, this school was also considered the Red Family’s private nurturing grounds.

Erika also studied at this school.

They also said that in times of crisis, Journey must help the Red Family and not abandon it for no apparent reason.

At this point, Miguel knew that their demand was already too much.

But instead of disagreeing, he decided to put up some demands as well, aside from his identity as the Guest Elder.

One, he wanted to have all the slots for the holy water if he ever won the competition. Second, he requested a quiet and private villa in Blazing City. Third, he requested that if he ever wanted some materials, the Red Family must provide them or help him find and obtain them. He also requested the list of rare materials and treasures that can be found in Blazing Expanse, their properties, locations, and their effects.

They’re not the only ones who could be greedy, right?

After listing all his demands, Damian thought for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.

At the next moment, he summoned his grimoire and told Journey that they must tie the agreement through a heavenly vow and with their grimoires as witnesses.

Miguel thought that it was similar to a cultivator making a promise or vow with the heavens as the witness in his previous life. If such a promise or vow was made, it should not be broken, or else they would receive heavenly punishment.

It was the same thing for making a heavenly vow with the grimoire as the witness.

Miguel thought that there was nothing to lose, so he agreed without hesitation.

He summoned his grimoire as Damian’s gaze could not help but linger on it for a few seconds due to how different it was compared to his’ or the other grimoires he saw before.

It can be said that Journey’s grimoire looked very unique.

At the same time, it also made him subconsciously afraid for some reason.
