Dane and Kai exchanged glances before reluctantly nodding in agreement. As much as they disliked the idea of being under someone else's control, the benefits of working for Asher seemed to outweigh the risks. Plus, they knew that their chances of escaping were slim, especially with the tracking artifact and the mana oath in place.
"Alright," Dane said, finally giving in. "We'll do as you say."
Asher took out the mana oath paper and used his mana to make an imprint on the bottom of it.
"Call Emmy later and make sure they sign it, one by one," Asher replied as Tom took the stamp-like artifact near Dane's arm.
Tom pressed the artifact on his arms, and after a second, he removed it.
"That hurts," Dane muttered as his expression changed a little.
On Dane's arm, a white sigil appeared and disappeared soon after. It was similar to the sigil that the artifact had, and on top of it, a white needle appeared, pointing toward Dane.
