After he was done with Erick, Jack decided to deal with Samantha. Even though it was true that the lady in front of him wasn't the main culprit, she was still involved in the matter of trying to abduct Celine.
That was something that was completely unforgivable in Jack's eyes. His intention was clear, just like Erick, he decided to eliminate Samantha as well. Keeping any of them was definitely a risk that wasn't worth to take.
Who could guarantee that after they left, they wouldn't come back and try to kidnap or kill the people that he loved? Keeping something that would come and bite him later was not in Jack's dictionary at all.
Samantha felt her heart trembling in fear as she faced Jack's gaze. She gulped, as she attempted to think of ways out of the situation that she was in.
At the same time, she was continuously blaming Erick even though he was already dead. If not for him, then why would she offend a person of Jack's level?
What she didn't consider was the fact that, Erick had tried to make her stay out of the matter, but due to the greed that she possessed, she was adamant about getting what Erick was looking for first.
If not for that reason, perhaps she could have watched from the side as Erick got beaten up before getting killed.
"What relationship do the two of you share?" Jack asked as he looked at Samantha. He was wondering how the two of them had come over, yet he could detect that Samantha didn't like Erick at all.
Samantha went silent for a moment, before she replied. "He ditched me for another woman." That was all that was needed for Jack to understand the relationship between the two of them.
It turned out that the two of them were in a relationship, but Erick had found another lady and decided to leave Samantha saw that he could be with the other lady. Well, that is something that happens so often.
As Samantha began thinking about the relationship that she had shared with Erick, before he threw her aside, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger. If possible, she really wished to be the one who had killed him off.
The reason as to why she had been tolerating him all along was simply because of the agreement in the stronghold. The reason that she had to fight with Erick was personal, and that was something that was not allowed.
"Okay then, what do we do with you." Jack contemplated. He didn't find a good enough reason to kill her, but he definitely wasn't going to let her go easily. After all, she had injured Denali earlier on, and she had planned on kidnapping Celine.
Samantha's mind began spinning, as she thought of ways that she could convince Jack to let her go. From the way that he had easily killed Erick, it was obvious that Jack was not a person that cared about the background that they belonged to.
Additionally, they themselves didn't know about the background that Jack possessed. For him to be able to become this strong at the age that he was in, then it was obvious that he wasn't from any shallow background.
"I can compensate you for the trouble that I have caused. What about taking my laser weapons?" Samantha asked. She could see that Jack didn't have any armor on him, and neither did he have any weapon.????????????????????????????????.????????????
She thought that just like Denali, the two of them didn't have the equipment that were always given in the organization. And although the equipment that she possessed was very important to her as it was very expensive to purchase, she didn't think that it was a bad deal to exchange the equipment for her life.
"What makes you believe that I am interested in that?" Just ask insipidly. He didn't believe that he would need such weapons from Samantha. After all, if he wanted to create the weapons, all that he would have to do was to acquire the materials, then get the skills that could be utilized to make the weapons from the system.
Samantha was stunned after hearing Jack's reply. But after thinking for a while, she thought that if Jack really had such a big background, then it was obvious that he didn't care about the equipment that she was trying to offer him.
It was obvious enough from the fact that, the armor that she was so proud of, was easily battered by Jack using his fists alone. Why would he want something that's going to be easily destroyed?
But at the moment, Samantha didn't think about anything that she could offer so that Jack could let her go. She had already began panicking inside, trying to think of any way possible that she could get out of the current situation.
Jack on the other hand continued watching her, as he waited for her reply. And after about 5 minutes, Samantha's eyes lit up as she looked at Jack.
"What about this, I will be Celine's bodyguard for one year. Is that acceptable?" Samantha asked with expectation in her eyes.
Jack on the other hand looked at her as if he was looking at a fool. "You first tried to take away my girlfriend, yet now you are expecting that I will send you to protect her? Do you take me for a fool?"
Samantha had never expected such a response from Jack. But after thinking about it, it was true that she had ill intentions towards Celine. But now, she was offering to protect her?I think you should take a look at
It wasn't just a matter of whether Jack could trust her or not. She had already created a bad impression towards him about herself.
But, this was the only thing that she could think of. There was nothing else that she could offer so that she could be let free. If it was information, the very basic information about the stronghold had already been given by Erick.
As for the information that was considered important, that was something that she wasn't allowed to reveal. No matter how much she attempted, there was no way that she could do it. All that would await her would be death in case she tried to do that.
She thought about it for a moment before suggesting, "What about this, I will sign a contract that I will be working as a bodyguard for one year. During this one year. No harm would it fall on the person that I will be protecting, unless I am dead."
Jack was once again silent. But still, he still looked at Samantha as if he was looking at a fool. Signing a contract? Wasn't that just a piece of paper? How many people have already broken contracts that they had signed?
Currently, if Jack dared to agree to that, it would be akin too him trusting her morals. It would be like he was believing that she was going to uphold whatever she had said.
When Samantha saw that Jack had not replied, she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. After staying in Azima for some time, she definitely knew about the contacts that were always signed here.
Those were just pieces of paper, that if one party broke the agreement, they could use the court to make the other party pay for it.
But she on the other hand couldn't be handled by the courts that were present here. Additionally, why would Jack and trust her with someone that he loved, only to allow her to break the contract and harm her?
Even if he later killed her, there was no way that he was going to bring back Celine in case Samantha had killed her off.
After thinking like that, she opened a small pocket that was present on her armor, and took out a piece of paper. After that, she handed it over to Jack.
Jack was wondering what it was when he received the small piece of paper. He could tell that there was no danger coming from the paper, nor was there any malicious intent from Samantha.
When he touched the paper, he found out that it was made from a special kind of material. It wasn't like the papers that were made from fiber that they always used here.
But what made Jack speechless was the fact that, the paper was completely blank. Now, he was wondering why Samantha had given him the paper.
He raised his head and looked at her questioningly. He wanted answers from her.
When she saw his questioning gaze, Samantha couldn't help but get flabbergasted. Now, she began wondering if it was true that Jack possessed a big background.
If it really was true that he possessed a big background, then why was it that he didn't even know the contract form? Or could it be perhaps that he was wondering why she had given him something of a very low quality?
"Eh, that's what I have. Even though it may be of a low quality, it is just enough to bind me." Samantha replied a little nervously.
Jack's brows raised. He couldn't help but do a double take at the piece of paper that he was holding. At the same time, he was wondering if the words that Samantha had said were actually true.
"What do you want me to write in the contract?" Jack asked.
Samantha was once again left speechless. According to the normal situation, it was always the other party who wrote the conditions that she was supposed to follow. But now, Jack was actually asking her what she was supposed to do?
"Eh, that piece of contract form can be considered yours now. You can decide on what it is that I have to follow, considering that I will be working as a bodyguard for one year." Samantha replied.
Just after Samantha's words fell, a system prompt appeared in front of Jack.
[You have received a contract form. The effect of the system multiplier can be applied. Does the host intend for the contract form to be increased in terms of quality or quantity?]
