Chapter 1588 1583: The Contract
Barney, who didn't look very old, seemed to age a few years upon hearing this sentence.Yes, the defeated have no right to negotiate.
Now that Barney has lost to Su Chen, if he doesn't want to become Su Chen's servant, then what awaits him could likely be death.
In reality, his crisis is not yet completely resolved; Su Chen hasn't promised to definitely take him in as a servant.
Wanting to negotiate terms with Su Chen now, isn't that courting death?
With such an understanding in his heart, Barney finally chose to remain silent.
Barney had previously kept some details of the contract hidden from Su Chen, which made Su Chen very unhappy, but compared to directly killing Barney.
Clearly, keeping him alive would be more beneficial for maximizing interests.
Moreover, according to Barney, the Illita Family held a grudge against him, and he was quite familiar with them. Keeping him alive now might be of great help.
He didn't know much about this so-called Illita Family, but Steve had asked him to handle this matter, and he also knew Beiyar.
If the situation permits, he will definitely pay a visit to the Illita Family.
"Now you either die, or sign the contract with me, it's your choice." Su Chen's cold voice rang in Barney's ear.
In such a situation, Barney naturally had no choice.
Barney's face was full of despair: "I... I am willing to become your servant."
Su Chen didn't understand the contracts, so when constructing the contract, it was with Shuiyue Jingxiang assisting by the side that it was completed.
The moment the contract was formed, Barney's already despairing face showed even more despair.
Where is this even a contract, this is clearly selling himself and his descendants as slaves to Su Chen.
This contract is a bloodline contract.
His children, from birth, are destined to become Su Chen's slaves. As long as Su Chen does not actively dissolve this contract, his descendants will remain the slaves of Su Chen and Su Chen's descendants.
"This... this is impossible, I can't possibly accept such a contract!"
As the sole heir of the Andrew Family, he had never forgotten the glory of the family and restoring its honor was one of his life-long wishes.
It's just that the family feud hadn't been avenged, and he wasn't strong enough, so he had to be patient.
But unexpectedly, his power had not been fully accumulated when he encountered Su Chen.
Not only did he lose everything, but he even lost himself in the process.
But to stake the future of his family, to become Su Chen's servitude, he still couldn't accept it.
"Then go die." Su Chen said indifferently.
Barney Andrew never imagined Su Chen could be so ruthless, not giving him a chance to negotiate, don't accept? Fine, then go die.
"Wait a minute!" Fear surged in his heart, and when Su Chen was about to kill him, he almost blurted out.
"You want me and my descendants to become your servants unless you can promise me one thing, otherwise, even if I die, I will never fulfill you!" Barney yelled harshly.
"Your descendants?" Su Chen finally frowned.
"That's right, since you want me and my descendants to become your servants and those of your offspring, unless you can help my family take revenge, otherwise, even if I fall into the abyss, I won't yield to you." Barney spoke in an extremely resentful tone.
He didn't want to die now, but he couldn't accept the contract's terms. He's a proud person, but in today's scene, he had no choice.
"Wait a moment."
Su Chen once again used the Yin Yang Technique to summon Shuiyue Jingxiang.
It was from Shuiyue Jingxiang's mouth that Su Chen finally got an explanation.
It turns out the contract Shuiyue Jingxiang assisted Su Chen in constructing was indeed a very harsh one.
It didn't just bind Barney Andrew himself, but also his descendants.
Everyone with his bloodline was included.
In the future, all of Barney's descendants would be marked as Su Chen's servants, which is the domineering nature of the bloodline contract.
Su Chen could easily kill any contracted person through the contract.
This meant the entire Andrew Family's life and death hung upon Su Chen's whim.
How could Barney accept this, especially when the Andrew Family's blood feud wasn't avenged yet!
After understanding the whole story, Su Chen finally relented: "Speak, what is your wish?"
"The Illita Family is the nemesis of my Andrew Family. If you can promise to help my Andrew Family eliminate the Illita Family, I am willing to wager the fate of my family to become your eternal follower and servant."
Barney's heart bled, but this was his final line.
If Su Chen wasn't even willing to agree to this, then he would rather die fighting Su Chen, after all, the family feud couldn't be avenged otherwise.
Su Chen did not immediately agree; he was also evaluating.
He didn't know much about the Illita Family, but some hints could be gleaned from Barney.
This Illita Family was also a wizard family known for their witchcraft.
And their strength wasn't weak, otherwise, how could they have annihilated the Andrew Family?
But Beiyar is a member of the Illita Family; naturally, Su Chen couldn't eradicate the entire Illita Family.
Thus in the end, Su Chen shook his head: "It's not possible to annihilate the Illita Family because I know people from the Illita Family, and some of them are my friends."
Upon hearing Su Chen say this, Barney was almost in despair; he had already offered his biggest bargaining chip and bottom line, yet Su Chen still wouldn't agree.
"However... the people I know likely had no part in annihilating the Andrew Family. If you submit to me, I can consider helping you find those involved in the Andrew Family's annihilation event and handing them over to you for you to handle." Su Chen declared solemnly.
This was his bottom line.
The Illita Family wasn't weak, at least stronger than the annihilated Andrew Family.
The answer Su Chen gave might not satisfy Barney, but at least it was acceptable.
Barney was silent for a while, then actively cut open his palm, letting a drop of fresh blood fly into the contract.
The blood shone, and Barney's status as a servant was recognized by the contract.
Su Chen only needed to drop a single drop of blood into it to completely control Barney's life.
Su Chen didn't hesitate, immediately squeezing a drop of blood from his fingertip.
The vibrant blood flew into the contract, and in an instant, the entire contract transformed into two beams of bloodlight entering the foreheads of Su Chen and Barney.
Su Chen also felt a strange sensation in his heart, as though something had been added to his mind.
He slightly controlled the faint feeling in his heart...
