BXBX NOVEL Chapter 317 Signing The Contract
You have received a contract form. The effect of the system multiplier can be applied. Does the host intend for the contract form to be increased in terms of quality or quantity?]
Jack was immediately flabbergasted by the system prompt. He had never expected that something like this could actually be multiplied by the system.
Presently, he began thinking about what choice to make. Even though he was completely tempted about the second choice about the increase in the quality, when he thought about going to the stronghold, he decided against it.
After all, he wasn\'t sure about how many people the stronghold was going to send before he found them. For that reason, Jack decided on the first choice, an increase in the quantity.
[Multiplier effect applied. You have received 100 contract forms.]
Immediately thereafter, Jack was expecting to see that the contract form in his hand was going to change into a hundred of them. But, he was surprised that nothing happened.
\'System, what\'s going on. Why is it that I am still left with a single contract form after the multiplier effect has already taken effect?\' Jack asked in his mind.
[Host, this is something that you can retrieve as long as you want. Just like all the rewards that had been granted to the host previously, the contract forms can also be retrieved like how you did when you took the rewards.]
Jack was finally relieved after knowing that the system wasn\'t playing a prank on him. Subsequently, he looked at Samantha, who was looking at him both anxiously and nervously.
"Do you happen to have a pen?" Jack asked.
Samantha shook her head because that was something that she didn\'t carry this time. She had left the pen back in the apartment that she was staying in temporarily.
She had expected that she might face Erick during the time that she was out. Since that was the case, then it was obvious that they might engage in a fight considering that she was involved in something concerning him.
The pen was special. Unlike the contract forms that could be acquired easily back at the stronghold, the pens were so rare. Every member of the stronghold that was part of the upper echelons was only given two of them.
For that reason, they had to be careful not to lose them. After all, the materials that were used to make the pen were not easily found. And, these pens were the only ones that could write on the contract, and enable it to be effective in binding people who were strong as them.
When she saw that there was a change of expression on Jack\'s face, Samantha hurriedly explained. Thereafter, she said, "We can go back, and I will give it to you. I left it somewhere safe "
Of course, since the pen was something rare, it wasn\'t something new to find that the pen that was possessed by another person had been stolen.
Since there was Erick and the two of them were not in good terms, Samantha had never dared to let the pen stay in a place where Erick could find it. She had done all that she could to make sure that the pen was well hidden.
Jack remained silent as he began thinking about what to do. After a while, he decided to go with her back to her apartment to get the pen. He had to ensure that Samantha had already signed the contract, before she was allowed to be close to anyone that he cared about.
Jack then looked at Samantha, and he could only shake his head. In the way that Samantha was currently, it was definitely impossible for her to go back to the city the way she was.
She had to at least have a change in her clothes. So, Jack immediately took out his phone and contacted Gabriel and informed him to come over and pick them up.
Gabriel was always around in the capital city. Since he was hired as Jack\'s personal pilot, then he had to be in the area where Jack was. This was so that he could be ready to fly him anywhere in case there was an emergency or Jack just needed to fly somewhere.
Jack then remained silent as he waited for the helicopter to come over. As for Samantha, since she had heard what Jack had said, she too didn\'t say a word and stood at the side as she waited.
Approximately 15 minutes later, the sound of a helicopter approaching reached the ears of the two. They looked up and saw that there was a helicopter that had come over. This was the Eurocopter that Jack had been given by the system as a reward.
Since the area that they were in had already been devastated by the fighting that had happened here, then the helicopter didn\'t have much trouble to land.
After Gabriel landed the helicopter, he looked at the devastated place and couldn\'t help but wonder what happened here. He wondered if there was a certain type of weapon that the military had been trying here.
After all, other than several pits that had appeared on the ground, the trees and other vegetation had become charcoal already. This was the effect of the laser beam that was used by Samantha during the fight against Denali.
After he got down from the helicopter, he was surprised as he looked at Jack and Samantha. Samantha was indeed a lady who was of a good standard in terms of beauty. And currently, her situation didn\'t look that good.
As for Jack, he was just standing by the side, waiting for the doors of the helicopter to be opened. He still had various plans that had to be taken care of after he left here.
Gabriel, who had just come over, couldn\'t help but do a double take at Jack. At the same time, he thought to himself, \'This boss of mine surely is something. He is quite ferocious.\' As he thought of that, he looked at Samantha\'s tattered clothes.
Thereafter, he gave Jack a look that only men could understand. Of course, Jack could already imagine what Gabriel was thinking about. After all, Gabriel didn\'t know about the reason as to why Jack was here.
In his mind, it was just about a scene where a man and a woman were together in the forest. And, they were so deep in the forest in that, there was no way that another person was going to find them easily. Perhaps, one could already imagine what would happen in such a situation.
Of course, he didn\'t bother to try explaining anything. Not like it was going to cause him any problem if Gabriel thoughts that way. So, he simply got into the helicopter, and waited for Gabriel to fly it back to the city.
"Where are we going to, boss?" Gabriel asked after everyone had settled inside the helicopter.
"Tell him where we are going." Jack stated as he looked at Samantha. He didn\'t know where Samantha was staying, so she was the one who was supposed to give the directions or coordinates of the place that they were supposed to go.
Samantha borrowed a phone, and used the map to point out the place where they were supposed to go. And immediately after, Gabriel flew the plane in that direction.
Slightly after about 10 minutes, they arrived at a location that was just slightly away from the heart of the city. This area was full of buildings that were residential places. In short, they were apartment buildings.
After the helicopter landed on the roof, Jack took a blanket that was present inside the helicopter and handed it to Samantha to cover herself. After she did that, the two of them got into the elevator that was present on the roof, and went towards the lower floors that was the fifteenth floor.
Samantha\'s room was simple. Since she was here temporarily, she didn\'t buy anything after getting inside her self-contained single bedroom apartment room.
Jack waited in the living room as Samantha entered her bedroom. She stayed inside for almost 30 minutes before she finally came out. It seemed that she had hidden the pen so far away that even she herself was having a lot of trouble getting it out.
Jack didn\'t take the pen from her. Instead, he handed over the contract form for her to fill it up.
Even though she had never expected that Jack was going to hand over the contract form for her to write the conditions, she still sincerely wrote all the conditions that they had agreed upon.
In the contract, she wrote that she would ensure the safety of Celine, and wouldn\'t let anything happen to her unless she was dead. Additionally, she included the fact that she wouldn\'t dare to harm any person who was close to Jack or Celine, as long as they didn\'t attack her first.
In addition, she included something that made her want to scream. After all, she was a supreme being back at the stronghold, and was used to being the one to command others.
But this time, she had included that she was going to follow all the orders that were given by Celine and Jack to her. Even though she was not willing to do that, she had decided that she was going to go all the way to ensure that she was going to be safe.
Unlike the people who were from the Panthers organization, the people from her organization were not fanatics. There was no way that she was going to risk her life and end up dead in case there was another option or there was no enough reason for her to do that.
As for the punishment that came after she broke the contract, it was direct death.
After she was done, she didn\'t hesitate to prick her finger with the needle that she had brought over. Thereafter, she dropped her blood on the piece of paper. Then, she handed it over to Jack.
Even though it was true that Jack didn\'t know about the contract form, he still read it first. After he saw the conditions that had been written there, he didn\'t say anything else and pricked his finger as well. Of course, he used the weapons that belonged to Samantha to make a small wound on his finger.
Thereafter, he dropped his blood on the piece of paper as well. Then, something magical happened.
