Finally the two of them made it to the church where Sasha would spend the next few months serving and Adryan was about to fulfill his deal with Utravsky.
Turning to look at Sasha and seeing that she nodded him, he nodded back and they entered.
Maybe it's because it's a Monday but this time the only person inside the Church was the giant ex-pirate.
Seeing how the Father was sitting in the front row but still he was a mountain, the redhead just motioned for Sasha to follow him in silence.
Sasha and Adryan sat in the row next to the Father so as not to disturb him and allow him to finish praying, after a while the giant opened his eyes and turned his gaze to the new guests.
Seeing this, Adryan calmly got up and made a small bow.
"I am here to fulfill our agreement Father Utravsky"
At that Sasha also got up and also bowed only this was a bit exaggerated and this made an eyebrow begin to tremble on the redhead's face.
"A pleasure to meet you Father Utravsky, I am Sasha Strauss and I will be serving with you in these months to come"
The giant only looked at her for a moment before giving a small nod before reaching a hallway and disappearing into it.
Sasha turned a little pale and hastily turned to Adryan.
"Boss, did I do something wrong?
Is he mad at me? Please tell me I'll be okay"
'Sasha if you really had pissed him off right now we'd be finding out how dangerous he was as a pirate' shaking his head, Adryan replied calmly.
"Don't worry, he's someone of few words and I'm sure he just went looking for something in the back."
"Ufff that's good..." Sasha let out a strong sigh, since she entered she felt the aura of the Father and she has been very tense from the moment the giant looked at her and she was scared that she had provoked him.
Luckily that was not the case since she did not think she could defend herself or even escape...
After a while, Father Utravsky had returned and seemed to be carrying a well-folded piece of clothing in his arms, arriving in front of them, this happened to Sasha who received him somewhat alarmed.
"At the end of the hallway is the kitchen and next to it is the break room you can change there calmly and you can leave your clothes there"
"I'll be right back Father,Boss..."
When Sasha said that, she also hurriedly went down the hall to change, leaving the two men alone.
Glancing sideways at father Utravsky, Adryan couldn't help but remember the difference in height between the three of them, he was the shortest and had to raise his head to meet the Father's eyes, while Sasha was on the same path it shouldn't take long for him to have to do the same with her.
Ignorant of the redhead's thoughts, Father Utravsky calmly reached into his robe and took out a neatly folded note and extended it towards Adryan.
"Here is the Pugilist formula"
The redhead shook his head before putting his hand in his pocket and taking a more comfortable stance.
"Father, I prefer that you give it to Sasha, after all, she is the one who will be working with you"
At this the big man only nodded slightly before retracting his muscular arm and tucking the note back into his robes.
After that Adryan, thanks to his senses, managed to hear footsteps approaching them from the c
hallway where Sasha left.
The aforementioned came out wearing a brown tunic similar to that of Father Utravsky, she approached them with some nervousness while looking at the Father.
At this the man of more than 2 meters gave a nod of approval with a small smile.
"It suits you very well young one"
An awkward smile formed on Sasha's face as she nodded to the father.
"Thanks you Father...."
Saying that, the father took something else out of his tunic, this time being a strange short candle.
The outer layer of the short candle seemed to be wrapped in a layer of human skin, but there were also several bumps on it. Its wick was about the length of a finger segment and was entirely black in color. It was covered in tiny densely packed scale-like patterns
At this movement of the Father and the familiar candle, the corners of Adryan's mouth twitched as he tried to keep from breaking into an awkward smile.
'Obviously he wasn't going to trust strangers, that's why he's going to use that candle to make sure Sasha complies with that part of the deal.....'
The weird and dark appearance of this candle made Sasha very uncomfortable and she sent multiple glances towards Adryan.
Sighing inwardly, Adryan looked into his father's eyes.
"Father Utravsky, would it be possible to know what this curious candle is?"
Father Utravsky nodded as he sat down with the candle in his hands.
"This candle will allow me to give you a psychological suggestion so that you fulfill your part of the deal"
"WHAT"
At the giant's words, Sasha jumped as she walked away from the candle and the Father.
Adryan could only sigh as he turned to look at the giant who didn't give importance to the blonde's reaction.
Seeing how the redhead was calm, Sasha made a stupid face as she wondered if this man had some misplaced screws in his head.
Even Father Utravsky had raised an eyebrow at the redhead, that was not the normal reaction of someone knowing that their parnert was about to be hypnotized.
A small smile formed on the redhead's mouth at the gaze of the two giants.
"Sasha, don't worry, I'm sure that Father Utravsky wouldn't dare to do anything out of place in the Church of Earth Mother"
Sasha had a quivering eyebrow as she looked at the redhead as if he had grown another head...
Wasn't trading formulas with wild beyonders inside a church out of place?
"If you are still afraid I can swear in the name of Earth Mother that I will do nothing more than implant the psychological suggestion that you come here to serve for 4 months, after that you can do whatever you want."
At this Sasha could only grunt as she remembered Nathan's words about the job before reluctantly agreeing.
