"You're not here to work in the restaurant though." Apollo continued.
"We'll talk about the details later, for now, have breakfast."
...
Night time came, seven of them sat in a room Apollo built earlier just for this meeting.
They each sat in their respective chairs in the large oval table that Apollo specifically bought. Apollo sat in a throne like chair at the end of the table, "I plan to build a security company, and looking at your expressions earlier, you guys seem to know of Levi."
All of their curiosity shot up, especially Val and Levi, "Levi is gonna be your senior if you were to sign this contract." Apollo took out several contracts from thin air and gave it to them one by one.
The contract stated that they will work for Apollo for ten years, "Let's say that after one year or so after working with me, one of you decides to betray me. I'll say it right now to warn you guys..."
Apollo looked at each of their faces and smiled, the smile quickly went away and returned back to his expressionless face, "I only need to snap my fingers and you would all be dead." his cold, emotionless voice filled the room.
Apollo has already learned from Li Feng's mistakes, the friend that Li Feng had even betrayed him because of a divine grade cultivation manual, not to mention that they have been friends for over a century.
They only met last night, they could betray Apollo at any moment, so that's why he warned them.
One was about to stand up and leave because of her fear to die, but Val stopped her, "Read the contract first before you decide, it could help your brother..."
The woman in question sat down and began reading the contract, the longer she read, the more tears that dropped down her face.
Having Atlas by his side, Apollo could easily look into their history, so he wrote the contracts that could benefit both sides, like the woman who was about to leave, Sophia.
Ever since her brother was diagnosed with cancer, she has been finding ways to earn money, even selling her body just to pay the bills. One night when it was her shift at a bar, she saw Val.
Val is basically her mentor, from seducing rich young masters and stealing money from them to killing. However, not only did the money she got from doing all those illegal stuff not cure her brother, it even worsened over time.
The sentence that made her cry wasn't Apollo basically owning her life if she signed the contract, it was the ray of hope, if her brother could be cured if she were to sign the contract, she would do so immediately.
Of course, everyone has their own problems, they don't do illegal stuff just for fun.
For example, Valerie, Aria, and Sky, not only are they being used, they could be dead any second now because of the poison placed inside them. And lastly, Alexa, her main motive for joining Val is revenge.
Apollo could easily solve their problems with a snap of his finger, but if he were to do that, his subordinates could easily betray him. To counter that, Apollo will use the carrot on a stick method.
He will make a contribution system, whoever contributes more points would have their problems solved, of course, they could do that on their own, but there would be no insurance if they were to do so.
The contribution system is written in the contract, the system will use points as currency. In the future, if their problems are already solved, they could still use points to buy all sorts of things, high tech machinery, atom sized camera, and even earphones that doesn't tangle when placed in the pocket!
Each of them took a pen from Apollo and signed the contract without hesitation.
Apollo turned his gaze to Levi, Levi already knows what to do if he were to receive a gaze from Apollo, so he nodded. Apollo passed him a black card, "You handle all the stuff." with a yawn, he left the room and headed upstairs.
After checking that the coast is clear, all of them breathe a sigh of relief and the girls turned to look at Levi, "Can you give me an autograph!?" they said in unison.
