A glimmer of hope flashed across the slaves' faces.
Retrieving a set of documents from his storage, Liam unfurled the slave contracts.
Selene leaned in, explaining to Liam how it works.
While its essence is the same as standard contracts, this particular one was designed to ensure unwavering loyalty, making sure they obey every command of their master without question.
With a deep breath, each slave drips their blood onto the contract, sealing their fate.
After the formalities concluded, the group, led by Liam, made their way towards the Tavern.
As they navigated the way, Liam turned his gaze to Elly. "Elly, can you give Selene's position to Layla?"
Elly glanced back at him.
"Of course," she responded casually, "after all, this black market is yours anyway."
As they continued their trek, the slaves trailing behind couldn't help but overhear the conversation between Liam and Elly.
Their eyes widened in astonishment.
