Chapter 834: Sign a contract
Everyone was confused at the same time…
To think that he could grab a titan’s finger and throw it away?
The Norma Knight and the Maya people were all stunned, unsure of what expression to make.
The Titan giants were also perplexed, staring with their huge eyes, collectively examining Robb, seemingly trying to understand how such a small person managed to throw their companion away.
Only the Westwind people remained calm, and Kante spoke cheerfully, “How did he do that? It’s strange. It’s theoretically impossible to throw him away by just grabbing his finger, right? The finger would break first, wouldn’t it?”
Elsie said, “Are you stupid? First, give the other person a buff to strengthen their body so that the finger won’t break, and then throw them away.”
Kante said, “Wow, there’s so much technique involved in throwing someone?”
Robb turned around, laughed, and scolded, “Why make it so complicated? It may seem like I’m grabbing his finger, but in fact, I’m channeling my strength through his entire arm. Don’t mess around.”
He clapped his hands and turned to the perplexed Norma Knight beside him, saying, “Alright, the guy who interrupted us has been taken care of. Let’s continue our conversation. Have you decided which of the three ways I mentioned earlier you want for your rescue?”
The Norma Knight, awakened from his confusion by Robb’s question, had a strange expression on his face and said, “Uh, I didn’t listen carefully to the three ways you mentioned just now… What were they?”
Robb said, “I can’t believe it. It’s a matter of your life and the lives of your subordinates, and you didn’t listen carefully? Let me repeat it for you. The three ways are…” (To save on words, please refer to the previous chapter.)
The knight listened nervously, glancing at the nearby giants, afraid that they might suddenly attack. However, the giants were also confused by Robb’s previous throw and were studying him carefully, contemplating, so they didn’t make any immediate moves.
The knight asked awkwardly, “What about the prices for these three rescue methods?”
Robb said, “For a careless rescue, your reward is simply shouting ‘666, you’re awesome, so powerful,’ and thanking me for my help. In your next life, you’ll be a guard dog protecting my home.”
The knight: “…”
Robb continued, “For a slightly more serious rescue, you’ll need to pay me around 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins. Considering that one life is worth about 100 gold coins, and there are more than 500 people here, it adds up to over 50,000 gold coins. If I rescue them a bit more seriously, I won’t be able to save everyone, probably only about 300 to 400 people, so charging 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins seems fair and reasonable.”
The knight said, “The price difference between saving some carelessly and saving more seriously is too big, isn’t it?”
Robb said, “Is there not a big difference in price for hundreds of lives? Are you trying to say that your subordinates are worthless? That it doesn’t matter if they die?”
The knight didn’t dare to say such words. Wasn’t he afraid of mutiny among his subordinates? He could only keep quiet.
After several seconds, he finally asked, “Then, what would be the price if you seriously intervene and save them all?”
Robb said, “To guarantee that all of you survive, the price would be extremely high. Be prepared for it.”
The knight felt a bit uneasy. The slightly more serious rescue earlier already cost around 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins. Saving everyone would likely involve an astronomical figure, and he didn’t know if he could afford it.
Robb smiled and said, “The reward is simple. This mountain range belongs to me. All the resources within the mountains belong to me, including but not limited to the mineral resources, wood resources, medicinal resources, and animal resources that you have already discovered. And you must also hand over the maps you have drawn to me. In the future, you are not allowed to enter and steal my minerals or disturb and destroy my construction and development work… As long as you agree to this, I will be a little more serious in saving you.”
Upon hearing these conditions, the knight didn’t hesitate and immediately replied, “Okay, it’s a deal! I agree.”
In his view, this condition was extremely favorable!
Since there were so many Titan giants in this mountain, it was unlikely that they would come to collect resources here again. It didn’t matter if they handed everything over to someone else. The most important thing now was to survive and get out.
Robb said, “Empty promises won’t do. In case you change your mind, we need a written agreement, a signed contract.”
The knight sighed, “That’s not a problem, but the giants are about to attack. Where do I find the time to sign a contract now?”
Robb waved his hand, and a bubble spell enveloped the knight, shielding him from the heavy rain. Then, from somewhere unknown, a pen and parchment appeared and were handed to the knight, “Start writing now. Don’t worry about the giants. As long as you write the contract, the giants won’t be a problem.”
The knight: “…”
He took the pen and paper and started writing with trembling hands. As he wrote, he anxiously glanced at the giants surrounding him. He saw that they had already started moving. The giant that Robb had thrown away earlier had also stood up again and was aggressively approaching Robb.
The knight felt a bit scared, a bit panicked, and his heart was filled with anxiety. His hand trembled severely.
The surrounding people of Norma shouted loudly, “What should we do? The Titan giants are getting closer.”
“Ah, that guy is about to make a move.”
A Titan giant opened its mouth, and with a loud crack, a lightning bolt as powerful as Thor’s roar flew towards the densest area of the people of Norma. The knight’s pen stopped abruptly as he anxiously looked in that direction.
Suddenly, he felt Robb, who was beside him, disappear with a brush sound. The air was left with faint purple magical particles drifting around, a common sight after transmission.
In the next instant, Robb appeared in the midst of the group of the people of Norma. He extended his hand and waved it forward, and a peculiar mirror appeared in front of him. The lightning bolt, which was emitted by the Titan giant, struck the mirror with tremendous force, and as expected, it “reflected” back towards the giant.
“Boom!”
The lightning struck the Titan giant’s own face, instantly electrocuting it, leaving its face charred, hair standing on end, and giving it a stylishly explosive hairstyle.
The giant didn’t quite understand the situation. It took a full five seconds before it let out a howl, tilted its head back, and crashed to the ground with a resounding thud. The earth shook, and countless trees were knocked down, with mud flying everywhere.
Robb promptly returned to the knight’s side with a swift movement. “What are you staring at? Keep writing the contract. If you don’t finish writing it quickly, I won’t exert my full efforts. I’m just doing a half-hearted rescue for now, and I can’t guarantee that there won’t be any omissions.”
The knight, who had been startled and stopped writing, quickly resumed writing the contract. This time, he had no doubts. He wrote rapidly, finishing a line of crooked and twisted words. Then he swiftly pressed his handprint on it and handed it to Robb.
