Ethan signed the contract and kept an obvious clause: "As long as Ethan is stronger, he can kill Patriarch Storm Dream and leave."

Her eyes grew immensely cold.

"It had been a nice few days of meeting you," Scarlett said her greetings in fluent immortal language and soon vanished into the horizon.
