And just like he thought, the woman's face instantly contorted. "You brat! Get a hold of yourself! Stop acting so stubborn! Have you gone completely insane?
Just take what I am giving you!"
"No!" Liam bluntly replied.
And just as he was about to hit that 'reject' option, he once again withdrew his finger back and unexpectedly pointed at the 'yes' option.
However, it was barely for a second. Before the princess could even look relieved, he once again changed his option.
<Yes>
<Reject>
<Yes>
<Reject>
He started playing around with the two options as if he was now deciding his fate by playing Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. His action drove the poor princess crazy.
"Damned brat! Stop it! What the hell are you doing? Why can't you simply accept it? You are going to kill yourself!" The draconian princess shouted in exasperation.
Why can't anything ever be easy with this guy?
She cursed her bad luck for hitching her wagon to this maniac, but the next second, once again, something unexpected happened, and Liam paused.
Surprisingly, even a smile appeared on his face. He then all of a sudden accepted the contract without doing anything else questionable!
The draconian princess looked shocked for a moment and then let out a big loud sigh. It was finally over. This time it was real.
She calmly walked over to Liam and started saying several words of encouragement.
"This is good. You definitely won't regret this decision. will not break your trust. We can be good allies and help each other out..."
The princess continued talking, but she did not know that the person she was talking to was no longer paying attention to her.
Liam was in his own world. He was busy reaching deep into himself to test something out.
In fact, there was a reason why he had finally accepted the contract.
Just now, when he was messing around with the contract, he had noticed something, something that he had never expected.
The soul contract had reacted to him!
A soul contract was an agreement between two souls, and it was as strict as a contract could get. It was magic that would be engraved on both of their souls.
But today, Liam felt something different.
It was just a fleeting feeling, an inkling, but he could tell that he might one day be able to alter this contract. At least it was not impossible for him.
After all, he did have the ability to manipulate souls.
Then wouldn't it be possible for him to reach into his own soul and alter any trace of this contract, thereby making the whole thing null and void on his side?
In the past, he had healed his injured and wounded soul several times in this exact same manner.
So at least theoretically, something like this should be possible.
While the draconian princess was going on and on, spewing nonsense on the side, he couldn't help but attempt to do this.
However, a few tries later, it was clear that he needed more soul strength and more experience. His soul manipulation technique was also rather lacking to achieve something of this magnitude.
Liam exhaled, temporarily setting this matter aside. For now, this can wait. He currently had other important pressing things to take care of first.
He then turned toward the woman standing near him and flashed a big smile.
"Congratulations on getting what you wanted." He said. "Shall we now talk about how to defeat this Level 500 Ison King?"
Liam brought the focus back to the predatory creature that was standing in front of them and glaring right at them.
