Doomsday profiteer

Chapter 55 Soul Contract
Lan Ke looked at [Ruthless Swordsman] vigilantly, wanting to hear what he would say, but [Ruthless Swordsman] didn't rush to speak, instead took out a bead and crushed it on the spot.

Lan Ke subconsciously frowned, and instinctively wanted to avoid it, but saw a hemispherical transparent barrier suddenly appearing around her, just covering her and [Ruthless Swordsman].

The barrier was formed in an instant, but the area was not large. It would cover her and [Ruthless Swordsman] without leaving any extra space, and there was no room for Lan Ke to retreat.

No matter how vigilant Lan Ke was, he could only look at [Ruthless Swordsman] coldly, unable to distance himself from him.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Lan Ke's voice was cold, but he couldn't figure out why [Ruthless Swordsman] would suddenly attack.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just an enchantment that blocks sound and sight, and I have absolutely no malice towards you." [Relentless Swordsman] said slowly, with a polite tone that made people feel refreshed, "What I'm going to say next is extremely important to me , can’t be heard by others, so we can only make such a bad move.”

Lan Ke still looked at him expressionlessly, without any wavering in his heart: "In that case, why do you need my help? I'm just a junior businessman, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

It's not that she's ungrateful, it's that she really doesn't want to wade into the muddy water. 【Ruthless Swordsman】Being so cautious, what he wants is definitely not a trivial matter.Lan Ke himself is still trapped in the troubled end times, so why would he want to cause trouble for himself?
[Ruthless Swordsman] said: "Don't rush to refuse, it's not too late for you to refuse after I finish speaking. This matter is extremely important to me, but it's just a matter of little effort to you. As long as you are willing to help me, not only the previous debt Write it all off in one go, and I can still keep you safe."

Lan Ke was silent, unable to guess what [Relentless Swordsman] asked her to help.Unable to understand, she simply said, "Your Excellency, continue."

[Ruthless Swordsman] smiled. Although he couldn't see Lan Ke's face, he knew that she was already attracted.So he took out a scroll and unfolded it: "This is a contract scroll. As long as you and I put our palms on it and make an oath not to harm each other, the contract will take effect."

Lan Ke was puzzled: "Isn't it just for this that you invited me? What is this? A soul contract?" Lan Ke didn't think that [Ruthless Swordsman] asked her just to make a contract, and the drama must be yet to come!

Sure enough, [Ruthless Swordsman] shook his head: "Because the matter is so important, I think it's safest to make a contract. With this contract, I can't hurt you, so you can rest assured, can't you?"

Lan Ke sneered, feeling that the [Ruthless Swordsman] simply got an advantage and still behaved!What does "you can rest assured" mean?They were clearly on guard against each other, it seemed like she was the only one who cared.

However, she also had to admit that with such a contract, she would feel much more at ease, otherwise she would really have no idea.

Lan Ke secretly contacted Babao: "Babao, do you know this kind of contract?"

Babao quickly replied: "This contract scroll was bought from the system mall, and the price is very expensive. It must be a big deal for him to spend such a large amount of money. Host, be careful!"

"I will be careful, but I want to know, is this scroll really safe? How binding is it?" Lan Ke frowned. She was not afraid that she would be bound by the oath, but she was worried that the oath could not bind [Ruthless Swordsman].This person made her feel too unpredictable. If the contract is useless to him, then she is the only one who is bound, and she will be very passive at that time!
But Babao said triumphantly: "This is the most advanced soul contract, unless he is strong enough to break the law, otherwise he will not be able to hurt you forever!"

Lan Ke is not as optimistic as it is, not because he is afraid of the ability of [Ruthless Swordsman], but once a trap is set in the oath, no matter how powerful the contract is, it will be useless.

But with the Eight Treasures, she decided to make this oath of not harming each other with [Ruthless Swordsman].As long as the oath is strictly checked, such an oath will benefit her and not harm her.

So Lan Ke nodded: "You can make an oath, what is the oath?"

[Ruthless Swordsman] quickly sent the content of the private message to Lan Ke. To Lan Ke's surprise, there were two vows, one for her and one for [Ruthless Swordsman].

The content of the two oaths is roughly the same, but there are some differences. The oath of [Ruthless Swordsman] not only mentioned not to hurt her, but also said that he would do his best to help her and keep her safe, but there was no such content in Lan Ke's oath, as long as he did not hurt [Ruthless Swordsman] Can.

Lan Ke was silent. Such an oath cannot be said to be foolproof, but it can see the sincerity of [Ruthless Swordsman]. [Ruthless Swordsman] can be regarded as upright, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to calculate, this person should not violate the oath.

After pondering, Lan Ke nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will make an oath to you."

As soon as these words came out, 【Ruthless Swordsman】 laughed with satisfaction.He became a plane merchant much earlier than Lan Ke, and he has more experience and even has many connections.

Frankly speaking, he didn't have to ask Lan Ke for help this time, he could definitely ask someone else.But looking at the unfinished caviar in his hand, he finally chose Lan Ke.

He had a hunch that this person would surprise him a lot.

Sure enough, Lan Ke not only attended the appointment, but also thought much less than others.This time he took the initiative to ask for it, she could ask for a price, but she didn't.Even the oath he took out, she didn't propose to amend it.

After a few previous contacts, he was sure that Lan Ke was not stupid and sweet. There was only one reason why she would do this - she was not greedy.

[Ruthless Swordsman] lowered his eyes and looked at Lan Ke's small chin. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and even looked forward to the next interaction.

Lan Ke regretted it a little, the eyes of [Ruthless Swordsman] made her feel scared!Lan Ke even wondered if she had missed some important points, or missed a trap, but after reading the oath carefully, there was no obvious trap in it, and it could even be said that she took advantage of it.

Seeing [Ruthless Swordsman] extended his palm to cover the opened scroll, Lan Ke hesitated for a moment, and put his palm on it according to the agreement.As the last word of the oath fell, the scroll suddenly turned into two light spots, which shot into the eyebrows of Lan Ke and [Ruthless Swordsman] respectively.

At the same time, because the oath was read, they finally knew each other's names.

"So your name is Lan Ke, what a good name." [Ruthless Swordsman] chuckled, his deep voice tickling people's hearts.

"Your name is not bad either." Lan Ke smiled and then said, "But the oath has been made. Isn't it time for you to clear up my doubts?"

　Qiong: Jade, a metaphor for beauty.

　　Qi: Beautiful jade, rare.

　　Ke: A beautiful stone like jade.white agate.The original religious noun, later mostly used as a name, refers to a person with outstanding wisdom and beauty in religion.

　　The meanings of the three words are very beautiful, and the name of the hero in the next chapter will come out.Well, I suddenly felt a little sorry for him, it took so long to write his name.
