Chapter 262: Dropping The Contract


    "What guarantee you won''t escape once you get these?" the dragon suspiciously said.


    "C''mon, have more trust in me."


    ""


    "I''m a yer, not a dragon like you," Bloom said.


    "We are more honest than you," the dragon said in more suspicion, "I suggest we have a contract."


    "Game contract?"


    "Indeed," the dragon said, "it''s the only thing I can depend on to hold you to your words."


    Bloom paused for a moment before deciding to ept. "Give it to me then," he said and the next moment the dragon took out a long parchment and threw it to him.


    "This all of these conditions?" Bloom was amazed when he read the contract. It had at least twenty conditions, and that alone made him doubt that dragon''s intentions.


    "They are the basic conditions in any game contract," the dragon casually said, "most of them are."


    Bloom didn''t take his words for granted and started reading. Slowly he started to see the problem here. "You need to change these conditions," he said while pointing to three conditions in particr, "I didn''t agree on just epting the location of the wyvern," he said.


    "I only know its location," the dragon shrugged.


    "You offered something you don''t have?" Bloom was speechless of that dragon''s shamelessness.


    "Hey I know him, and he won''t refuse a request for me," the dragon defensively said.


    "That''s not eptable at all," Bloom said, "and that condition as well I need to go to a special game zone and undergo a test to have that proimed dragon power."


    "What about it?" The dragon acted innocent as if he didn''t know what was wrong here.


    "You said you''ll bestow this power to me!"


    "Do you think it''s a small thing to do?" the dragon said in faked amazement, "you need to be tested first to prove your worth."


    "Then what''s the value of you?" Bloom couldn''t help but sneer, "If I can get that power from a quest, then why should I ept this as an offer from you?"


    "Because I''m the only one who can give you this quest," the dragon said but Bloom couldn''t trust anything it said anymore.


    "Sorry," Bloom let the contract down, "I won''t ept this bye."


    "Wait let''s have more talk about this"


    Bloom didn''t even walk as he simply took out a ticket and activated it. After fulfilling his quest, the special map effect vanished and now he and others could use their tickets.


    "Damn you! I give you treasures and you throw them in the mud!! Screw you yer! I hope for your dirty soul to rot in hell!"


    Bloom heard these threats and curses before everything vanished from his sight and the town''s calm central za appeared next. "Sigh, that dragon" he couldn''t help but regret not making this deal but he wouldn''t ept the conditions that stingy dragon offered.


    "That dragon looked mad," Antoan said after appearing next with his team. They were far in the distance so they couldn''t hear most of his talk with the dragon.


    "He is simply a cmity," Bloom said, "we shouldn''t let anyone release it loose or else we will have a very hard time in the game."


    "Who can oppose such strength?" a yer sighed, "it''s best if we looked for a way to kill it or send it away."


    "I hope a thing like this exists," Bloom nodded, "now go back and do what I said before," he said to Antoan and referred to the punishment to those traitors.


    "Alright," Antoan''s face stiffened when he recalled his own mistake. "I''ll make sure nothing like this will happen again," he tried to act cool but Bloom didn''t believe him.


    He had a fault in selecting his own people, and that was something Bloom couldn''t overlook.


    "Once finished, return and level up the boys," Bloom said before moving forward, "I won''t be avable here for quite some time."


    "Ok."


    Bloom intended to go and chase his own steal caravan quests from now on until he amassed the needed money for his guild.


    With each step he took in the game he started to realize the importance of having arge army of yers on your side. "ying alone is cool, but it won''t get me anywhere near my goals," he muttered to himself while heading towards the mansion of Anna.


    "What are you doing here?" As he reached there he was weed with that angry Tondel, the head of Anna''s guards.


    "I''vee to report to the mayor," Bloom calmly said without giving that man the satisfaction he needed.


    "Humph, you are getting more used toing here than ying," Tondel said, yet he cleared the road for him, "just a reminder, she doesn''t like men."


    "What a regret," Bloom said with a very irritating smug smile over his face that made Tondel change his face for a second.


    But he didn''t say or do anything while watching Bloom entering the mansion from behind.


    "This Tondel sigh," Bloom shook his head while he was away from Tondel''s gazes. He didn''t like the fact someone like him existed in his future base, but he could also rte to his feelings.


    He was in love with Anna, he could clearly see that. That made Tondel a very anxious man, and also very dangerous and unpredictable as well.


    "Oh, you came too fast."


    As he walked in the main hall he heard Anna''s voice the next moment and that was enough to distract him from his useless thoughts.


    "I was lucky to find what you asked for," he said while ncing at the couple of merchants standing in front of her. "May Ie another time then?" he said while not asking to leave, but asking them so.


    "No need," she said as her gaze turned to those merchants, "we are done here already."


    "Thanks mydy," one of the merchants bowed to her slightly before moving out. He didn''t forget to give Bloom a mocking nce, as if he was eyeing someone unworthy of being here.


    "Humph," Bloom just sneered and ignored him.
