Ladirma smiled, "No, that\'s the right one."
Armano was taken back slightly, and he reread the contract for the third time. He furrowed his brow and asked Ladirma, "Did you also sign the same contract?"
"Yes," Ladirma nodded. It was the exact copy of his contract.
Armano was still hesitant despite how good the contract was for a slave. It was too good to be real. He once more scanned Tang Shaoyang, Afi, Avyn, and Zara. There were only two choices, fight them or sign the contract and change sides.
Ladirma took out sixteen more contracts, but Tang Shaoyang stopped him before he could hand them to the other sixteen adventurers.
"There\'s one lucky guy. You don\'t need to be my slave, but…." Tang Shaoyang\'s right foot crushed Hardy\'s neck, separating the head from the body. The blood spurted out all around on the floor. It was just unexpected that Tang Shaoyang killed Hardy. No one predicted that Hardy would be killed. Everyone thought Hardy would be one of the slaves as well, but The Black Iron was killed.
Tang Shaoyang picked up the head. Hardy\'s eyes were wide open as if he could not believe he was killed as well, "I need someone to deliver this head to the Adventurer Guild and also my message. This is the last warning. This is the war between The Tang Empire and The Temple! Tell your superiors not to meddle in my business. If I see adventurers join up with the temple. I will assume The Adventurer Guild is declaring war against The Tang Empire."
"That\'s the message. The person who will relay my message and also this head is the weakest in your team. Who\'s the weakest?"
Kali and Armano pointed at the female in a green robe. She was the weakest in combat because she had a support class. Her job in the team was to heal and buff her team.
The female priest\'s face paled at the gory sight. She kept looking at the head and Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang also scanned the woman and furrowed his brow, "Can she deliver the head and my message safely? Can she even protect herself?"
Kali and Armano pointed to another Diamond Ranked adventurer. It was the scout for the team, and Tang Shaoyang handed the head to the man. As soon as Tang Shaoyang said go, the man immediately left the building without any delay. He was terrified that even Black Iron Adventurer was helpless, let alone him, a Diamond-ranked Adventurer.
The remaining sixteen adventurers, including Kali and Armano, signed the contract. Of course, the contract was not the end of it. Avyn came forward and planted the Ice Curse on the five Demi-God Ranks.
Tang Shaoyang did not have a priest he could trust to lead the oath ceremony, so this was an effective way to make sure they did not betray him.
"I am leaving the rest to you, Worm1! And don\'t forget the thing I asked you earlier" Tang Shaoyang waved his hand and left the building as well. He canceled the transformation and recalled all his spirits. It was easier than he thought. He thought the adventurers would fight back a little, but they just surrendered when their strongest adventurer was taken down.

The following morning
Li Yue and Li Jiaying were excited when they heard that they would go on a picnic today. Ladirma did his job and found a beautiful place for a picnic after asking around the people in the city. To the west of the city, there was a waterfall. It was a famous place to visit.
Around noon, the family went there for a picnic. The waterfall was not that big, a perfect size. It was not dangerous for Li Yue and Li Jiaying to play on the lake. After playing with the two children, Tang Shaoyang stood below the tree not too far from the waterfall.
Li Yue and Li Jiaying were taking a break after playing, having their juice from Elin. He felt weird as he watched them, weird feelings that he never felt before. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment. It was just a simple picnic, but it was fulfilling and weirdly pleasant.
Back then, he thought the battlefield was his place when he felt the excitement of fighting a strong opponent. He enjoyed the fight when his people\'s lives were not at stake and his opponent was strong enough for him to go all out. He just did not expect he would feel the same from such a simple activity, content.
They stayed until the evening, when the sun was ready to set on the horizon. Li Yue and Li Jiaying enjoyed the activity more than Tang Shaoyang expected. For the first time, they made roasted corn and sweet potatoes. It was not as luxurious as their usual dinner, but it weirdly made them very happy.
Tang Shaoyang carried Li Yue and Li Jiaying as they returned. Li Yue was on the left and Li Jiaying was on the right. Both were sleeping, leaning their heads onto his chest.
"Do you want me to carry Li Yue?" Elinova offered.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head and smiled, "It\'s fine. They are far lighter than my sword."
Ava and Elin rolled their eyes when Tang Shaoyang compared a weapon to children, "What about your village? Have you found out what happened to your village?" They forgot to stop by Turan City. When they arrived at Orin Peak, Frost was leaving for Turan City. The King led the army to take over the first city, so they did not have the chance to ask about Elin\'s village. Early this morning, Elin went out to inquire about her village to the people staying in this city.
Elinova shook her head, "It\'s been ten years. I don\'t think they even know there are villages near Waskin City. Maybe we can find out when we arrive in Waskin City."
Tang Shaoyang returned to the city and was greeted by Worm1 and the other Worms. Judging from their expressions, it looked like something big had come up.
"Didn\'t I tell you not to disturb me when I am with my family?" Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows and looked at Worm1. He did not want to involve Elin and Ava with his main business. He wanted them to have a good time instead of worrying about him.
Ladirma had his mouth open, but no words came out when he heard that. His Master indeed said that to him, but never mentioned the ongoing war when his family was present.
Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, "Wait for me at the Adventurer Guild. I will meet you later," He used Spirit Eyes to scan the city\'s surroundings. There was no army, meaning there was nothing urgent. As long as the city was safe, it was not urgent in Tang Shaoyang\'s eyes.
