Zhuge Wanjun’s Foreigner profession, much like her conventional one, was that of a lawyer. This step was definitely in accordance with rules and procedures.
It’s just unknown what effect it would have after signing.
Wen Yan put down the docunt and looked towards Zhuge Wanjun.
Zhuge Wanjun imdiately said, "You should have finished reading it, sir. This is just a necessary procedure. Since you are not my client, there are so things I cannot discuss in detail with you, according to the rules."
"I’m not a professional. What’s the difference between these two docunts?"
"’Short-term client’ literally ans short-term, normal cooperation. This includes ordinary cooperation as well as professional cooperation."
Wen Yan nodded. Ordinary cooperation naturally ant cooperation as an ordinary person, while professional cooperation was that between Professionals, with their abilities being utilized. This woman initially gave him two options, limiting his choice to these two. If she had only provided one, the choice would simply be to sign or not to sign. Wen Yan had heard about this kind of trick from Old Xi; he always used it when selling services to clients, and it had always been very effective.
"’Long-term client,’ naturally, implies long-term cooperation. As they would be a top-priority client, their interests beco my primary concern. For any consultation they require, I am obligated to provide professional answers from their perspective, putting their needs first."
Watching Zhuge Wanjun expound these points so clearly and thodically, Wen Yan suddenly asked, "Do you know Fake Mo Zhicheng?"
Zhuge Wanjun revealed a standard smile. "No comnt."
Wen Yan nodded. He was starting to understand what Zhuge Wanjun’s lawyer profession entailed. Her Foreigner profession, though its strength was limited, was far more potent than that of an ordinary lawyer. This agreent was an inviolable contract. No wonder Zhuge Wanjun could thrive in the gray areas, garnering so much trust from Different Races. Those Different Races might not trust people, but they would likely trust a contract backed by a mysterious Blessing.
"May I ask, how many people have you signed this long-term employnt agreent with?"
"Are you specifically referring to humans?"
"No."
"Then just one."
"And if you were specifically referring to humans?"
"Then none. Human hearts are too complex; there’s no perfect agreent."
"Good, I understand."
Wen Yan took out the long-term agreent and signed Su Yue’s na.
He watched as his signature, burning like fire, slowly imprinted itself onto the docunt. Then, the flas spread over all the text, including Zhuge Wanjun’s signature.
The flas consud all the words, reducing the agreent to several blank sheets of paper. Finally, it transford into two streams of light, which entered the minds of Wen Yan and Zhuge Wanjun respectively.
Those words were deeply etched in his heart, never to be forgotten.
Having completed the agreent, Zhuge Wanjun finally let out a long breath, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.
"Freshly made food really does taste better. Not many tea houses insist on making everything from scratch these days."
Wen Yan smiled. He could tell that Zhuge Wanjun had only now truly relaxed. Just monts ago, she had seed constrained by sothing, constantly on edge. Moreover, he noticed that Zhuge Wanjun did seem to be genuinely hungry.
When they were almost done eating, Wen Yan asked the sa question again.
"Do you know Fake Mo Zhicheng?"
"I know him. His nickna is ’Glasses.’ He possesses a magical treasure, a pair of fraless glasses, that allows him to transform into anyone’s appearance. The more accurately he imitates soone, the better the effect. If he himself firmly believes he is that person, then not even a DNA test would be able to detect that he’s an impostor. Unfortunately, he also possesses a power that can brainwash people. The words he speaks can imprint on minds like ntal steel stamps, convincing people of their authenticity. The closer his brainwashing attempts are to the truth, the more effective they are, and the longer the brainwashing continues, the stronger the effect becos. So, aside from those glasses, there’s no other way to be certain it’s him."
"Can you tell why you ca to find ?" Wen Yan was curious about this.
"I had never seen him before, but I t him once a few days ago. His power is growing stronger. I thought I could resist his brainwashing, but I was wrong. I didn’t manage to resist it completely. I have now rely completed negotiations and reached a compromise with the brainwashed part of myself. He tasked with two things. The first was to use you to retrieve sothing from the Old Ice Warehouse. The brainwashed had to co here to see you, and I also wanted to see you. It’s just a pity he’s too arrogant, too overconfident in his own abilities. He believes that signing an agreent, putting things in black and white, creates a huge hidden danger and ans he can no longer remain concealed. I’ve been brainwashed, so naturally, I wouldn’t tell these things to others. However, since you are an interested party and also my long-term client, I can act according to the agreent to protect the interests of the client who holds top priority. The procedure is completely correct; even the brainwashed cannot prevent from doing this."
Wen Yan sized up Zhuge Wanjun. He understood that, true to what was recorded in her file, she had once again chosen her side before a critical mont arrived. Of course, it was more likely that she also knew full well that being targeted by soone like Fake Mo Zhicheng was destined for a bad end. Better to switch sides first and deal with the consequences later.
"What does he want to take from the Old Ice Warehouse?"
"It’s unclear at the mont. It’s probably sothing he wanted to get last ti."
"And the second thing?"
"Find the Soul Devouring Beast, then brainwash it and gain control over it."
"Hah..." Wen Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This ti he really couldn’t hold it back. Wen Yan had read the descriptions; the Soul Devouring Beast was said to be immune to all known forms of damage. Trying to brainwash a Soul Devouring Beast was pure folly. How could a being, one that the Natural Enemy Profession itself had labeled ’Invincible,’ be so easily brainwashed?
"He has already found traces of the Soul Devouring Beast. It should be within the Chemical Plant Domain, but I’m not very clear on the specifics."
"So, that ans he’ll probably go to the Chemical Plant Domain soon, right?"
"Yes."
