On the paper that Luan had handed them there was a contract of loyalty and secrecy. Yes, Luan said he could trust these people when he asked Elias to go after them, but it wasn't like he would trust them 100%. If he wanted 100% confidence, something like this was needed.
In the contract, he had written that the moment something Luan had told them and given them express warning that it shouldn't be leaked, the person who signed the contract would be killed if they so much as tried to leak the information. It seemed like a lie since there would probably be no way to find out that they had leaked information.
What they did not know, however, was that this was not a simple contract. The moment this contract was signed, the paper created by Luan with runes and spells would merge with the soul of the contractor. This would later come to be known in the future as a soul contract. As long as the one who signed their signature did not violate any of the rules written in the soul contract, nothing else would happen.
"Are you ready to sign?" Luan warned them, "Know that everything that is written will be realized, so think carefully before signing."
"Is this for real? Or is it just a joke?" Bruno Campos, better known by his nickname, Blade, asked about the contract with skepticism.
"Yes, this is serious," Luan said, "If you sign this, there will be no turning back."
"Another question." Ezequiel Alves raised his hand.
"Speak." Luan looked at the 165 cm tall man.
Ezequiel Alves, better known as Rat because of the two large front teeth that stuck out of his mouth and also because he did not like to bathe, asked, "Is the salary right? Are we really going to earn 30,000 a month without a tax rate if we work for you since we signed this contract?"
"Yes, and if your performance is good, and you do additional things, like missions passed on to you, there will be a higher commission. The 30,000 a month is just the starting salary," Luan said, almost like a whisper of temptation of the devil, wanting to force them to sign the contract.
Saliva being swallowed could be heard from several of the people. The salary Luan was offering was more than they could have dreamed of and if that was just the starting salary and they could earn much more than that, it almost was enough for them to sign the contract on the spot.
"I'm going to sign." The one who spoke here was a girl. Her name was Maihara Costa. For her who had lived in poverty, even if she had been offered only 2 thousand reais, she would have accepted it. She was barely able to find a job that paid 1,000 reais, let alone 30,000 reais, without tax.
"Here, use this pen. In addition, you need to prick your finger a little at the tip of the pen; it doesn't have to be much. " Luan handed her a special pen. If it was a normal pen, the contract would not be valid, as it needed the blood of the person who was going to sign the contract, and the pen needed to have runes capable of using the internal Qi that all people have in their bodies, but that most cannot use.
Yes, Maihara had her own doubts and was also skeptical about it, but what was wrong with that? Luan was rich and would pay her well, so there was no reason why she would refuse an offer so good, even if the man offering her the job seemed somewhat crazy for doing so. Laying the sheet on the table, Maihara stuck the pen in her finger and signed the contract.
The moment she finished signing, the sheet shone with the pen. The sheet then floated in front of everyone, who all looked at it in amazement; some even fell on their asses on the floor. Then it entered Maihara's body as if it were a ghostly object, without even tearing her clothes.
"Maihara, are you okay?" Seeing that after a while Maihara had opened her eyes, Priscilla Araújo asked her this worriedly.
"Yes, I am... Mm, it was not a big deal, however, I got scared and all the information from the signed contract appeared in my mind. Other than that, I don't feel pain or anything like that..." Maihara still couldn't believe that happened to her. She had even thought she was dreaming for a moment, but when she pinched herself, she felt pain.
Priscilla Araújo, Maihara's best friend, also came from poverty and was very tempted to sign the contract. She was a tall blonde with green eyes. "That's good. I am happy that you are well," she sighed with relief.
"I'm going to sign too!" Ezequiel Alves (Rat) swallowed his fear and raised his hand. He didn't want to continue living in misery, and even though it looked more like a contract with the devil, he was willing to sign.
"Me too!"
"Me too..."
Gradually everyone wanted to sign. Some took longer to build up courage, however, in the face of so many benefits and being able to give a better life to their family all of them eventually gave in. There were two girls who almost gave up, but it was difficult to resist the temptation.
Meanwhile, Elias pulled Luan aside and asked quietly, "Luan, didn't you say that we could trust them?"
"Yes, I did," Luan nodded.
"So why did you have them sign a contract like that?" Elias was not angry or anything; he just didn't understand why Luan did such a thing.
"Elias, what exactly am I hiring these people for?" Luan asked.
"To train them and use them as security guards, and also to search for secret information, among other things, I presume," Elias replied.
"Yes, exactly. So, how long will we need to train people like that?" Luan asked another question.
"Quite a while; it could last for months. It would all depend on how much they train." Elias still didn't understand where Luan was going, but he continued to answer.
"Now, knowing it would take time, and knowing that they are going to do things that shouldn't be leaked... isn't it better to get people who are loyal? But even if they are loyal, can we guarantee that we would never have a possibility that one of them would betray us at some time? And if they cheated us, wouldn't it be a huge loss, as we would have wasted time and money training them?" Elias nodded with every word Luan said.
"I understand now. They are loyal, so it's worth hiring and training them, but you also need some insurance to make sure they're going to remain loyal no matter what." Elias finally managed to understand Luan's intention.
"Exact!" Luan tapped Elias lightly on the shoulder. "We should not trust them blindly just because we believe they are trustworthy, so I did what I did."
"Mr. Luan, when do we start, and where are we going to stay?" Paloma Gomes, a blonde with dark brown eyes, approached Luan and Elias and asked politely.
"You will all be staying in a family farm, and there Elias will train you. I can also show up and teach a little, but most of the time he will be there to train you all, that is before I give you jobs to do," Luan explained.
"So, only on Sundays will we have holidays, and as it says in the contract, if we decide to stay, will we receive 2 thousand reais more?" Renato Lopes asked. He was tall, dark-haired with brown eyes and short black hair.
"Yes, everything that was written in the contract is valid," Luan confirmed.
