Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 412: End of Negotiations. Ghana's realization. Kali Dravory?

After hearing Yasenia's offer, it was clear that they had no other reason to deny her. Even the insistent Fu Liang was out of excuses to delay or interrupt further.

Yasenia knew it, and that's why she was calmly waiting for their answer.

Leader Fu suddenly thought of something and asked one last thing. "Your group met my Son some days ago, right?"

Yasenia sighed and looked boringly at him. "Are you really going to defend him and pass on my offer? I'll tell you now. I don't want to continue to deal with you. Therefore, the next words I want to hear are whether you accept our cooperation. If you bring anything else besides that into the conversation again, we are done. My patience has limits."

Leader Fu frowned. Ultimately, he couldn't even gain a slight verbal advantage during the conversation. He sighed and leaned back tiredly on the armchair. "Sure, I accept. Let's make a contract. Having everything in black and white can help us both." contemporary romance

Yasenia nodded. She didn't have a problem with it. "Sure. Let my person write the contract in a moment."

Leader Fu was surprised. "Write it now?"

Yasenia nodded. "She is that capable, after all. Tatyana, please, I'll leave it to you. It should begin like this. For the price of one hundred Magic-grade treasures, twenty Earth-grade treasures, two Heaven-grade weapons, and one Heaven-grade armor, the Astral Sky Clan won't owe anything to the Koran City related to the damages made by their actions. With damages. The payment must be completed before a year goes by. If the Koran City denies the payment, this contract would not be valid, and the debt would also disappear."

Tatyana took out a piece of paper and began writing with the unique ink Yasenia gave her.

Yasenia commented. "This ink has a trace of my energy and can't be modified. I have ways to know if it has been modified. Tatyana will specify what we consider 'damage' and what it means not to owe each other anything. After you sign this contract, we'll become neutral parties."

Then, Tatyana wrote some details to avoid loops in the contract. She knew what Yasenia wanted, so the work was done in less than five minutes.

Tatyana walked in front of Yasenia with a stack of twenty pages and showed it to Yasenia. "Mistress, I've completed the work."

Yasenia smirked and trailed her finger across Tatyana's arm. "Good Job, my servant~."

Tatyana's red eyes flashed darkly, but she controlled herself and stepped back. However, Yasenia heard Tatyana's voice in her head. 'Prepare for tonight. I will make you call me Mistress until you become hoarse and can't move your legs.'

Yasenia gulped, but she didn't show anything on her face.

She just floated the paper stack and landed it on Leader Fu's desk.

Speak about surprises; the fact that Yasenia glanced at it once before giving it to him showed her confidence in her servant.

The eyes of the three couldn't help but land on the white-dressed red-eyed human. Her temperament was frankly the best out of the ones following Yasenia.

They even had an absurd feeling of majesty and elegance coming from her, as if this woman was meant to be some a ruler.

Leader Fu, Fu Liang, and Ghana shook their head. 'I may be crazy to feel like that about a human.'

Ghana, however, thought a little more deeply. 'Even then, her prowess during the ritual event was extraordinary. She just used a single attack to kill all those guards, after all. Not even the elders may be able to do something like that as easily as Tatyana did. She is not simple.'

Leader Fu looked at Ghana and Fu Liang, then he said. "You two, please examine the contract and see if there are any faults."

Yasenia chuckled. 'So blunt. Do you think this little goodwill is enough to make Ghana forget everything?'

Of course, Ghana wasn't happy. However, she still had an obligation since she was working under him. 'Well, whatever. I can take this as a farewell work.'

Fu Liang was surprised that he called for Ghana. Her eyes flashed with a murderous light. 'Does he want to incorporate Ghana again in the city operations? Not under my watch!'

Before Ghana could even step forward, Fu Liang took the documents from his hand and spoke calmly. "Don't worry, City Lord, I can analyze it myself. We can allow someone with unknown thoughts to mess with something this important."

Ghana froze in her spot, Yasenia lifted an eyebrow, and Leader Fu frowned, clearly displeased.

However, Yasenia wouldn't let this opportunity go. She reacted quickly and spoke before Leader Fu could. "Miss Ghana, come to my side while City Lord and miss Fu determine the veracity of our contract. I have a copy here and would like to hear your thoughts on it."

Leader Fu could only swallow the words he almost said and work with Fu Liang.

Naturally, Ghana wouldn't refuse Yasenia's invitation, and she walked to her side. Yasenia guided Ghana to sit beside her naturally and took out a copy Tatyana had created.

Ghana felt nothing out of place, and Yasenia's scent made her even more comfortable. 'She smells like a flower bed. So fragrant and sweet.'

Then, both parties silently discussed the contract for the next half an hour.

Fu Liang frowned as she read in detail. 'There are no loops. It seems that they are not brainless. This contract can't be taken advantage of no matter what we do. We can only follow the agreed conditions if we don't want to have a fallout.'

Meanwhile, Ghana suddenly paused as she looked at one condition.

Tatyana's and Yasenia's eyes flashed when they saw Ghana reread that condition and mull over it.

The clause used vague and broad terminology to say that the Astral Sky Clan could hire any person from Koran City as long as they were willing, and the Government couldn't meddle with it. Moreover, there wasn't a time frame added to this clause.

As someone reads it, the brain would find it reasonable. However, after continuing reading, Ghana found a complementary clause much later that addressed this clause.

It was short, but Ghana found it quite glaring after recognizing the fault in the previous one.

It practically said that even if they took people from any power, any liquidation costs would enter within the "damage" cost mentioned before. 'This… Doesn't this mean they can use this contract to hire anyone, and the Koran City government would be responsible for the costs? Hm...? Wait.'

Ghana raised her eyes only to meet a pair of smiling golden eyes.

Yasenia chuckled and asked, leaning forward and placing her mouth beside Ghana's ear. "What do you think of the contract, Ghana?"

Ghana blushed and lowered her head, her ears gaining an alluring red and her thighs squeezing together. 'S-She is seducing me!'

Of course, Yasenia wasn't seducing her, but no matter what she did, it would look sensual, so it looked like it.

Ghana answered with a trembling voice. "I can't find any faults in it. Everything is good."

Yasenia's smile widened, and she laughed softly. Then, she whispered. "I'm glad. If miss… or well, my Ghana doesn't find any faults, I'm relieved."

Ghana felt her heart thump strongly but maintained her composure. Her head spun as she organized the data in her mind. 'She wants me to work for her? The whole contract also seems to be built to hide these two clauses….'

Ghana's eyes widened. 'Don't tell me.'

Ghana revised the whole conversation in her head, and her eyes widened. 'I was also doubtful why Yasenia didn't speak about her cooperation with the Nine Sect Elders since the beginning, but if her objective wasn't to enter an agreement with the City Lord, but to make me have thoughts about leaving their side….'

'Everything fits too well together.' She looked at Yasenia and saw her leaning back on her chair, calmly sipping a drink, a satisfied smirk on her lips.

She looked like a cat that had caught a fish.

Ghana laughed under her breath. 'How can I say no to this? Since you are so sincere, I'll have to work hard in the future.'

Fu Liang said, interrupting Ghana's thoughts. "Leader Fu, you can sign the contract."

Leader Fu had some codes with Fu Liang, so he understood there were no exploitable loopholes.

If Fu Liang had said, "The contract is perfect," it would've indicated that she had found a beneficial loophole.

If she had said, "The contract is beneficial," it would have meant that it is the opposite, beneficial for the other party.

What Fu Liang said right then meant that there were no loopholes to take advantage of for any party involved.

In short, a fair contract.

Yasenia didn't know and also didn't care. She trusted in Tatyana's and her own judgment. Not to mention, her main objective had been achieved.

Reach a non-harmful agreement with the City Lord and catch the beautiful brown bird.

Everything else was inconsequential for Yasenia.

After signing the contract, Yasenia smiled, satisfied. "Perfect. Everything has been sorted out. We'll deliver the items we promised as soon as possible. The agreement says a year, but we can probably deliver them in less than a month."

Yasenia had the items already in her ring, and if she wanted, she could complete the transaction now. The Secret Realm's battle spoils were abundant, after all. Not to mention the almost unlocked Long Baidi spatial ring.

Yasenia also wanted to experiment with the [Earth Refining Cauldron] and see if she could increase the quality of low-level items. These items she would use to give the City Lord were perfect. If the cauldron created imperfections or lowered the performance, Yasenia wouldn't be held accountable.

Yasenia commented. "To show my sincerity, I'll give you half of the Magic-ranked items. We have that much on us, after all. Honey, be a dear and give them a wide variety of completed items."

Kali stood up and walked in front of Leader Fu's desk.

Kali's natural scent reached him, making him and even Fu Liang take a few sniffs involuntarily.

It was a gentle and earthly scent, like recently cut grass or wet earth when it began to rain. It made people think they were in the middle of a forest, surrounded by soft sunlight.

Leader Fu couldn't help but give Kali a few more looks. He realized that, although the face was mostly hidden and the revealed skin had some pink scars, the body was that of perfect beauty.

Kali was curvaceous, tall, and with a slim waist.

The two tails swayed behind her, giving an extra allure, and the long and fluffy chestnut-colored fox ears flickered playfully, making the heart itch. 'Although the scars dimmish her beauty, if they aren't too glaring, she is a rare beauty. Does this group only have first-class beauties? Even Fu Liang falls short before most of these women.'

Yasenia was lazily leaning on the chair when she caught the slow change in Leader Fu's eyes. Yasenia's pupils slowly thinned. 'You better not do anything stupid, City Lord.'

The others sensed Yasenia's change and began circulating their energy. 'Kali is quite a delicate nerve for our dragoness, City Lord. Be careful with what you say.'

Kali took out the treasures individually, giving them to Leader Fu respectfully.

As she did so, Kali softly said the name of each treasure. Kali's voice had a touch of innate gentleness and could calm the soul of those who listened to her. "This is a [Petal Cauldron]. I'll give City Lord five of them… This is a [Sharp Metal Sword], a standard longsword. I think giving you ten of them is right. Then…"

The room was silent, with only Kali's gentle voice.

Leader Fu couldn't help but give Kali some different looks. Even with the scars on her face, his interest was piqued. "Miss, what's your name?"

Kali blinked twice, surprised. Kali was very unaware of those gazes since her whole mind was filled with the dragoness. However, she wasn't slow enough to understand that gaze after such a question.

Kali felt a chilling aura behind her, and a smile hung on her lips. 'Hm? Is my dragoness becoming jealous? She is so cute. How to answer for this to not end in a tragedy?'

Kali's eyes flashed, and she smiled. "I'm Kali Dravory."

Yasenia, who was about to go on a rampage and drag this City Lord's face across the whole of Koran City, paused.

She blinked twice and looked at Kali's back intensely. Her face was calm, however.

Kali felt the chilling aura change to a scorching gaze and giggled internally. 'Dragon appeased~.'

The others were also surprised at Kali's answer, but they were all enlightened and decided to follow the trend. Therefore, from now on, our girls will present themselves with Yasenia's surname.

Leader Fu smiled and asked. "A beautiful name. Would you like to-."

Yasenia, who had just tasted honey, became annoyed. However, half her anger had evaporated thanks to Kali.

Therefore, she stood up and hugged Kali from behind, looking at the City Lord coldly over Kali's head, thanks to her tall stature. She was seventeen centimeters (6.7 inches) taller, after all.

Kali felt the very tall and voluptuous body sticking to her back while a pair of arms hugged her waist firmly. She tilted her head up and saw the scary expression on Yasenia's face. Yet, our fox only felt her heart fluttering. 'My~, she looks so handsome~.'

"Leader Fu, my girls are certainly attractive, but I would ask you not to try to flirt with one of them before my eyes. May I remind you that my name is Yasenia Dravory? You should understand what this means."

However, Leader Fu interpreted it like she didn't want her disciples and maybe family members to go to another power. He didn't think for a second that these two women were together. Nevertheless, he didn't insist for the moment. "Hmm. Well, we can talk in the future, then."

Yasenia turned while hugging Kali's waist and left some perfunctory words. "We are leaving. It was a pleasure doing business with you, but we won't continue any talk in the future."

Leader Fu looked at the tall dragoness's back as she led her entourage outside. However, he didn't back off and spoke. "I also think the same. I hope to see Lady Yasenia soon. Naturally, miss Kali and the others can visit whenever they like."

Yasenia stopped walking, but Kali lifted her head to kiss her neck.

Even through the veils, Yasenia felt like a warm spring soaked her burning heart, calming her down.

After a deep breath, she left the room without creating trouble.

Kali smirked, satisfied, and leaned on Yasenia while they left.

Ghana looked at Yasenia's back until they left and turned toward Leader Fu. 'Now, it is time for me to cut things cleanly. I can't let Lady Yasenia wait. Maybe, I can catch up to her before she leaves the building.'

Leader Fu also turned to look at Ghana, his eyes cold.
