“Might I understand how each of you ended up on this state of affairs?” Felix sugarcoated his query as a lot as potential.

He understood that anybody signing a slave contract seldom got here with no shitty expertise that was too laborious to recall. By asking them this, he was doing nothing however opening up their wounds.

As anticipated, Malak expression’s turned nasty immediately. She did not seem to be she was focusing on Felix together with her look.

‘Properly, she ain’t answering that.’ Felix shook his head evenly after seeing her response.

When he turned to Erik, Felix noticed that he was being given a glance meant for morons.

Earlier than Felix might really feel baffled by that look, Erik mentioned with an informal tone, “Clearly as a result of we signed a recruitment contract.”

“…”

“…”

A desolate silence had descended within the room as each Felix and Malak felt like their mind had short-circuited.

They stored staring with a dumbstruck expression at Erik, making him really feel a bit weirded out.

“Why are you me like that?” Abashed, Erik scratched his nostril and mentioned, “I get embarrassed.”

“This cannot be proper.” Felix shook his head and fired off a number of questions directly, “You’re joking proper? Concerning the recruitment contract? You do understand that you just signed a slave contract? Proper?”

“Slave contract? What are you speaking about boss?” Baffled, Erik snapped his finger and displayed a holographic contract.

He pointed his finger on the title and mentioned, “See? It says Recruitment Contract.”

Neither Felix nor Malak knew find out how to react after studying the title. It wasn’t as a result of it was written Recruitment as a substitute of slave contract, however due to Erik’s honest bewilderment concerning the state of affairs!

They knew that every one slave contracts by no means even have a title that mentioned >Slave Contract
It might be recruitment, servant, subordinate, lackey…and so forth. Something however the time period ‘slave’ since it could be the identical as including salt to damage.

But, this fool really appeared like he did not learn about it!!

‘Please do not inform me he bought cheated to signal it? Nobody could be that silly? Do not even point out a 4th stage bloodliner like him!’ Felix massaged his temples together with his eyes closed shut.

After regaining management of his wits, Felix opened his eyes and requested with a soothing tone. “Are you able to inform me precisely what occurred whenever you have been about to signal the contract? Did anybody drive you or one thing like that?”

“Nobody has compelled me to signal it.” Erik continued with an appreciative tone, “Throughout my nice escape within the universe, I’ve run out of meals, water, and I did not know precisely find out how to get some.”

‘Oh no.’ Felix might already see that his narration would finish horribly however he nonetheless did not interrupt him.

“Fortunately, I wasn’t left ravenous for lengthy as I’ve fortunately met with a bunch of gents in house.” He praised sincerely, “They handled me like their shut pal after I defined my state of affairs to them. They fed me and took nice care of me. They have been those who instructed me about this straightforward technique to earn cash so I can help myself.”

“You imply they made you signal the ‘recruitment’ contract?” Malak inquired, not in a position to keep silent at his messed-up narration.

“Nonono!” Erik shook his prolonged arms and clarified, “They merely instructed me about it and I requested to signal it since I did not know every other methodology to earn cash.”

Felix took a deep breath, making an attempt to suppress himself from shouting at this retard.

He had so many questions and an important one was, “Did you learn the phrases of the contract rigorously? Like actually rigorously.”

“In fact!” Erik replied firmly prefer it was solely pure to take action.

Felix’s lips trembled as he requested once more, “You may have learn that betraying, making an attempt to kill, retaliating, and disobeying the orders of your ‘recruiter’ would get you both punished or killed based mostly on the desires of the ‘recruiter’ and the contract phrases?”

“Sure!” Erik rapidly nodded his head, showing fairly comical with these two feathers flailing round.

But, neither Felix nor Malak discovered something humorous about his settlement.

They solely felt wonderment whereas gaping at Erik, showing like they have been admiring an unique creature.

“Why are you me like that once more?” Erik tilted his head and mentioned, “Is not that time period regular? In any case, I shall be recruited and it is just logical that I shall be punished or killed if I betrayed my boss.”

He added neatly whereas pointing his finger at highlighted time period, “Plus, I do know that my boss cannot order me to kill myself or do something that’s in opposition to my beliefs, morals, dignity…and so forth.” He shrugged his shoulders, “So, so long as I keep loyal to my boss and respect the phrases of the contract, I shall be paid 2 million SC monthly and I’ll don’t have anything to fret about.”

“So why are you referring to this contract as slave contract?” Erik checked out them in utter confusion, “These high quality gents that saved my life additionally had signed it with their captain and so they regarded like they have been having fun with their life of their spaceship.”

“….”

“….”

After listening to all of this, Each Felix and Malak have been left stumped by his logic that appeared right but it surely was nonetheless flawed huge time.

They knew that every little thing he had mentioned was certainly right and inside the contract phrases. In any case, ‘slave contract’ got here in many sorts.

There have been excessive contracts that rob the signer of each fundamental proper that he had. If the proprietor ordered him to kill himself, the slave should obey or the Queen would pop his consciousness.

Naturally, solely a fraction of individuals indicators this contract that was worse than demise itself. As for almost all? All of them signal a contract that ensures what Erik had talked about above.

That is why Felix wished to create a boss and subordinate relation as a substitute of a grasp and slave relationship.

He is perhaps barely narcissistic and proud however he wished none of that shit of feeling superior to a different individual.

Then again, there have been non permanent contracts that had a lifespan.

It might be 10 years and even 10,000 years of service earlier than the slave will get launched from his ‘slavery chains’.

Then, there have been everlasting contracts that would by no means be damaged except the proprietor died or he broke the contract from his aspect.

At the moment, Erik and Malak had signed a everlasting contract with a month-to-month fee of two million SC, not like the non permanent contract that did not supply something in return.

So in a way, Erik really had signed a recruitment contract since he wasn’t compelled to do it.

He in all probability bought cheated however not compelled.

In the meantime, Malak was more than likely threatened with both her life to signal it or by one other matter. No matter it was, she clearly did not appear to take pleasure in her state of affairs, not like Erik.

“You don’t have any issues with being my subordinate for all times?” Felix requested.

“So long as we’re going to do some enjoyable stuff.” Erik mentioned with a silly grin.

“Have enjoyable?” Malak mentioned, “Excuse me, however how previous are you?”

“I’m turning 20 this yr!” Erik replied casually.

“Then how might you be ignorant about so many issues?” Malak exclaimed in disbelief. 

Felix did not present a lot of a response as he already noticed his age within the profile particulars.

However, similar to Malak, he was fairly shocked {that a} 20 years previous man was utterly out of contact with the UVR and the Universe.

In any case, he referred to pirates as gents, not understanding that he bought performed into signing the contract and bought on this public sale or the get together who positioned him right here.

No matter it was, that they had earned 4.8 Billion out of him with out his data or in all probability he knew that he was going to get auctioned after being lied to once more.

In any case, the pirates might merely idiot him into believing that he was being auctioned resulting from his skills, energy, or some bullshit. Primarily based on Erik’s naivety or stupidity, he would more than likely imagine it.

This what each Felix and Malak concluded after piecing the dots.

Nevertheless, there have been nonetheless many inquires that have been consuming their mind out.

Like Erik’s ignorance about making cash within the UVR, acquiring coordination to a populated planet so he might resupply, not understanding that he was really signing slave contract…and so forth.

Such fundamental data was recognized to even 8 years baby. Do not even point out Erik.

“Why do you assume I escaped my household?” Erik complained, “My mother stored me locked up in my palace for the reason that second I used to be born. Even once I depart it I get accompanied by her and nobody dares to speak to me or have a look at me once they see her.”

‘Is not that taking sheltering to the intense?’ Felix’s eyelids twitched after understanding the supply of Erik’s lack of know-how.

“How concerning the UVR?” Malak requested, “Weren’t you given entry to it?”

“I did have it.” Erik admitted sadly, “However, I by no means realized that it was this huge with a number of cities and such since my entry was restricted by mother to solely enter my UVR room.” He chuckled in nostalgia, “Although, it was fairly enjoyable enjoying in it because it had all of the video games that I wished to play.”

‘Denying even entry to the general public UVR?’ Felix frowned his eyebrows, ‘Was that actually his mother or he was kidnapped and imprisoned?’

In Felix’s eyes, locking somebody’s up in worry of getting him killed or kidnapped was a horrible factor to do however comprehensible.

Nevertheless, denying even entry to the UVR and making him solely enter his UVR room? That is too excessive since it could serve no advantages.

Heck, it could do extra hurt for the reason that UVR was a secure spot to be taught concerning the Universe and its cruelty to idiots and naive individuals.

If his mom was anxious about him that a lot, she might merely train him concerning the dos and don’ts within the UVR to keep away from having him cheated into signing a disadvantageous contract and scammed.

So Felix was really bewildered about his backstory. Was that his beginning mom or not? What Household does he belong to? Is it a traditional one or a behemoth that wanted to fret about?

Questions like these coursed in Felix’s thoughts and he wasn’t planning so as to add Erik into his inside circle except he bought a clearer imaginative and prescient!
