King-Chapter 1451 - 10, Black Glove_3

"Alix, I deeply sympathize with your plight.

But there is nothing to be done. You are now Fallen Angels. No matter the reasons for your fall, it is not permitted. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Especially since after your descent, you massacred the populace, which is utterly unforgivable.

Though the Northern Church is open-minded, allowing different power systems to exist, it cannot compromise on matters of principle.

You now have two choices: either sign a contract with me or be handed over to the Church."

Hudson’s calm words put the group of Fallen Angels in fear for their lives. Though they did not know the distinction between the Northern Church and the Church, they knew that the Church was always ruthless with heresy.

Particularly they, as Fallen Angels, were viewed by the Church as a blasphemy against the Divine Spirit.

Blasphemers, once in the Church’s hands, would suffer a fate that could be easily imagined.

Death itself would be a luxury!

"Honorable Marshal Hudson, we are willing to become your Guardian Angels!"

Alix promptly replied.

But this was not the answer Hudson desired. If a group of Angels were to become Guardian Angels for him, he might have acknowledged it for political reasons.

Fallen Angels serving as Guardian Angels, that was a joke, wasn’t it?

If that news got out, wouldn’t Master Hudson become the laughingstock of the entire Continent?

"Mr. Alix, you misunderstood. I don’t need Guardian services from Fallen Angels, so the content of the contract is not the traditional guardian terms.

Never mind, see for yourselves!

If you find any unacceptable terms, we can make slight adjustments, but each Fallen Angel only gets one chance to appeal, so don’t waste it lightly."

With that, Hudson directly took out the prepared contract document and handed it to Alix.

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere on the scene became heavy. The group of Fallen Angels, who initially had some expectations of Hudson, were now glaring angrily.

The so-called mutual constraint contract, in reality, was all about restraining them, the limitations on Hudson were negligible.

Besides phrasing differently, with a few symbolic constraints on Hudson, it was essentially a disguised slave contract.

"Marshal Hudson, aren’t these terms too harsh?"

Alix strived to negotiate.

He didn’t want to go to the Church, and he didn’t want to sign a slave contract either. Otherwise, even if he preserved his life, he would have to work like a slave for Hudson for the rest of it.

"Mr. Alix, I think there’s no need for you to refuse. You need to be adaptable; some matters will pass if you bear with them.

Compared to the long lifespan of you Fallen Angels, our Human Race’s lifespan is hardly worth mentioning.

Even if I have you do things, it would be done in secret, and no one would know on the surface.

No one knowing is like it never happened. You can remain as Fallen Angels, and I as Human Marshal, without interfering with each other’s affairs during normal times."

Hudson coaxed diligently.

While enjoying a glamorous life, someone still needs to do the dirty and tiresome work. Training one himself is not only costly but also requires an exceedingly long training period.

These Dark Creatures are like handed-over "black gloves".

The atmosphere on the scene grew more solemn as Alix fell into deep thought. Signing contracts with so many Fallen Angels simultaneously requires the contract maker to have immense strength.

If the contract maker’s personal strength was insufficient, they would have a chance to break free from the contract and seize opportunities to escape.

To suppress so many Fallen Angels simultaneously would require at least Sanctuary Second Order, or even stronger.

He did not believe Hudson possessed such strength! Thinking along this line, Alix’s stance gradually changed.

"Alright, but Honorable Marshal Hudson, we can only enter a contract with you alone!"

Alix replied, feigning helplessness.
