THE SLAVE CONTRACT

Evie Bancroft sounded like she was spouting some bullshit, but that was exactly what had been circulating in this country in recent years.

Humans had indeed known nothing of the existence of werewolves in this world for many years, but they had actually started to feel suspicious of them years ago. How werewolves lived their lives was indeed far from humans' radar, and they even stayed away from humans as best they could. They only lived in the forest, and wars involving werewolf packs also happened in the forest, but such a thing surely couldn't be kept a secret forever.

In the end, scientists began to feel curious about creatures other than humans that existed on this planet, and they assumed that werewolves truly existed and were not just stories in fantasy movies. To this day, humans still didn't have enough evidence that werewolves existed, but they were constantly trying to find specimens they could use for further investigation, and if they found one in this city, they would surely feel more than happy.

That was why Evie had used the material to squeeze the werewolf into a corner before she could take advantage of the man's fear. She was about to voice an offer that would bring the man to kneel before her.

"If you will work for me, I promise I will protect you with everything I have, and I can guarantee that those scientists will not be able to get you onto their operating table. All you need to do is agree to work for me," Evie continued speaking even though the werewolf still didn't say anything.

'It's only a matter of time before his body will shake in fear, and he will beg me to protect him,' she confidently thought to herself, and that was why she was so excited as she kept her eyes on the man who was still sitting on the floor with iron bars separating them.

Evie thought the werewolf would immediately cower after hearing the truth about the current problems with his kind, and she also thought the man would give up soon. But maybe she was too confident this time, and she ended up blinking her eyes in confusion as she still didn't see any reaction on the werewolf's face.

"Is he deaf, Simon? You didn't tell me anything about it, but maybe I'm wasting my time talking to a deaf person, right?" Suddenly Evie directed her question to Simon who was still standing behind her.

As Evie continued her one-way talk with the werewolf, Simon and Vernon remained silent behind her, but now both had reactions on their faces after hearing her question. Vernon even turned to the older vampire standing beside him because he wanted to hear the answer to Evie's question too.

"The wolf is not deaf, My Lady. But I told you he was crazy, right? He's gone mad, and he hasn't even wanted to talk since his parents died," Simon answered the question, and Evie frowned as she glanced at the old man standing behind her.

"He won't talk since his parents died? What kind of bullshit is that? He managed to get a job at the resort, and I'm sure that kind of resort wouldn't want to hire someone who's no different from a mute," the Vampire Queen replied.

Hearing the reply from the Queen, Simon awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck as he replied, "I… I'm not sure about that either, My Lady. Only my informant told me that this werewolf wouldn't talk since he lost his parents, but I don't know if that's true or not. The information may also be exaggerated. I'm not sure about that."

After all, Simon wasn't always reliable with the information he provided, and that was why Evie had a displeased look on her face. Even Simon could only lower his head as he couldn't stand the young lady's displeased expression.

In the end, Evie couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh before she focused her gaze on the werewolf again.

'I think this big dog is just extremely unlucky,' she thought to herself. 'He has lost everything, and he is even in this position now. That's a shame. This big dog doesn't look bad at all, and he should be able to become a celebrity in this country, but his mental state is too unstable. I'm not even sure I can get what I want without using violence.'

Violence. The word came to mind, and Evie thought of something as she was too frustrated to get the werewolf to agree to her request.

"I thought this discussion was going nowhere since you wouldn't even respond to me, so I'll just tell you straight away what I want from you," Evie no longer wanted to try to persuade the werewolf who was so faithful to lock his lips, and that was why she continued firmly, "I don't have any ill will for you, and I just want your blood to keep me from aging. I'm not going to hurt or kill you, and I'm only going to drink your blood maybe once or twice a month, or maybe more than that. Just listen to my order obediently, and I promise you will only benefit from me."

Evie no longer tried to hide her true intentions, but she still wanted to show the werewolf that she had no intention of instigating any kind of war between the two of them. However, even after she revealed her true intentions, the werewolf still didn't give any response, and Evie seemed to be losing her temper this time.

The Vampire Queen from the Bancroft clan gritted her teeth as she tried to hold back her anger, and she took a step forward before using her hands to clench the metal bars that separated the two of them. "If you still won't listen to my orders, then I can only use the Slave Contract to make you listen to me. What's your decision now?"
