In the dical room, a quick-witted female team mber was the first to react, imdiately starting to shoo people out.
"Everyone out, everyone out!" She began pushing the team mbers out like she was herding chicks, "Don’t be a hindrance here!"
After pushing the last team mber out, she turned around and winked at Aster Grant:
"God Grant, we’re counting on you with our captain!"
She made a cheering gesture before gently closing the door.
As the door closed, the room suddenly beca quiet.
Bianca Shelby gripped the edge of the bed sheet tightly, her fingertips slightly trembling.
"Aster... Aster Grant, why are you here?"
Even though she had wanted to find Aster Grant before to express her gratitude.
But now, seeing Aster Grant really in front of her, she was so nervous that her voice trembled.
Aster Grant calmly picked up an apple and began to peel it.
"Your injury was caused by , isn’t it only right for to visit?"
Bianca hurriedly replied, "We... we’re all classmates, helping each other is expected."
Her face turned even redder, not even she believed such a clumsy reason.
Aster saw this but didn’t expose her!
"Besides visiting you, there’s another matter."
After saying this, Aster turned his head, his gaze landing on the Succubus.
At this mont, the Succubus had an increasingly ominous premonition.
"Apologize!"
Aster’s voice suddenly beca severe.
Frightened by the sudden voice, the Succubus imdiately knelt to the ground.
"I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"
The Succubus kept repeating apologies, but her gaze remained fixed on Aster, with not a trace of sincerity in her eyes.
Seeing this, Aster shook his head, the last hesitation in his eyes completely dissipated!
Old habits die hard!
He had been hesitating whether to use a Slave Contract on the beastbond, but now it seed the decision was utterly correct.
Seeing the Succubus’s action, Bianca was stunned but quickly realized.
"Aster, there’s no need for this, she only did it because of Mason Cheney’s order at that ti..."
From her teammates, Bianca already knew this Succubus now belonged to Aster, which ant she would be Aster’s beastbond in the future.
Even though she indeed had a grudge against the Succubus, she should put it aside at this mont.
"Aster, please let her get up, it’s not her fault!"
However, Aster didn’t listen and instead handed the peeled apple to Bianca.
"This matter is related to her, she must apologize!"
Looking at Aster’s incredibly serious eyes, Bianca’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She cautiously took the apple, her fingertips inadvertently touching Aster’s hand, imdiately pulling back as if scalded.
Since being saved by Aster in the Novice Trial Space, she seed to have developed a different kind of feeling for him.
Thus, even though losing her beastbond, she never regretted it. But...
"Call him Master!"
Aster’s sudden command froze the atmosphere in the dical room.
The apple in Bianca’s hand hit the ground with a "thud," she looked at Aster in disbelief, doubting what she heard.
"Wasn’t your beastbond killed by Mason because of ? Now I give you one back!"
"No, no... absolutely not, how can this be!"
Upon hearing Aster’s words, Bianca quickly waved her hand to refuse, her eyes turning red with anxiety.
Even though she currently didn’t have a beastbond, but...
She simply couldn’t accept Aster’s beastbond!
If she took away this Epic-level beastbond, what would Aster contract after reaching the Transcendent Level?
"I’ve already decided! Your refusal is useless!"
Aster’s attitude was firm, not giving Bianca a chance to refuse.
And at this mont, the Succubus kneeling on the ground was freezing cold.
She could accept failure, even face death calmly, but what she couldn’t accept...
Was being handed over to an ordinary human!
"No... I don’t want to follow her!"
The Succubus suddenly stood up, her dark purple pupils turning red, full of confusion.
"Aster! Even if I’ve betrayed you once, you shouldn’t humiliate like this!"
"I may not compare with that Angel, but I’m a genuine Epic-level beastbond! Yet you’re giving away to..."
Watching the Succubus breaking down, Aster sneered coldly, his eyes icy.
"Epic level? Is it that powerful?"
"As for you saying you don’t want... do you have a choice?"
Before he finished speaking, Lazuli reached out and firmly pinned the Succubus in place.
Aster slowly raised his hand, a pentagram array exuding a bloody light appeared in the void.
"A Slave Contract?!"
The Succubus’s pupils suddenly constricted to pin-sized, her voice twisting out of fear.
She struggled frantically, dark purple magic power rioting around her, yet she could not break free from Lazuli’s control.
Expressionless, Aster drew Bianca’s hand, gently sliding a fingertip across her index finger.
As that drop of crimson blood fell into the center of the array, the entire contract array suddenly surged with blood light.
"I don’t want the contract, I don’t want..."
However, Aster’s actions didn’t pause for a mont.
In the Succubus’s despairing gaze, the bloody runes still rcilessly drilled into her forehead.
[Succubus]
[Owner: Bianca Shelby]
[Status: Slave Contract]
[Talent: Epic Two Stars]
[Level: Awakening Tier Five]
[Attributes: Dark Elent, Spiritual Type]
[Power: 70]
[Constitution: 72]
[Spiritual: 137]
[Speed: 81]
[Skills: Desire Absorption, Enchanting Eyes]
Seeing the contract complete successfully, Aster breathed a sigh of relief.
It was his first ti performing a Slave Contract, unexpectedly succeeding on the first try.
Yet because Bianca was only at Awakening Tier Five power, the Succubus, originally Awakening Tier Eight, had its level lowered.
But as long as Bianca’s level increased, the Succubus’s strength would quickly rise back.
"This..."
Bianca awoke as if from a dream, staring incredulously at her palm.
A superb Epic-level beastbond had just beco her contracted beast?!
And under the absolute obedience of a Slave Contract?!
The Succubus remained crouched on the ground, bitterness written across her face, unable to resist because of the contract’s restraint.
Her dark purple eyes shimred with humiliating tears, yet she dared not voice a word of complaint.
"Alright, the matter is settled."
Aster clapped his hands and stood up.
Now that it’s over, he could finally rest for a couple of days.
Although Abel Vance specially authorized him to skip the second-stage assessnt, his level was currently only Awakened Tier Six.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided it was better to participate in the second assessnt for level advancent, planning to exit midway.
"Captain, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now."
After saying goodbye to Bianca, Aster proposed to leave.
Watching Aster turn away and leave, Bianca instinctively reached out to hold him back.
Yet ultimately, she said nothing, weakly lowering her hand.
"Bang!"
As the dical room door opened, several bodies, pile one on top of the other, stumbled in awkwardly.
Trying to eavesdrop about their captain and God Grant’s gossip, they were caught red-handed.
Bianca’s teammates scrambled to get up, awkward smiles plastered on their faces.
Of course, Aster didn’t mind, nodding slightly, and left with Lazuli.
However.
Just as he stepped out of the dical room, Aster felt a chill behind him.
"Master, was that sister’s hand... soft?"
"The apple you peeled, even I haven’t tasted it..."
