Noticing a shift in Dean Bruce's demeanor, Claire Raymond seized the moment, saying, "If you have any other requests, please don't hesitate to let me know! I am genuinely eager to collaborate with you!"
It must be said that Claire Raymond was indeed shaken by the ethereal woman, which led her to lower her own posture considerably.
Dean Bruce collected his thoughts and replied calmly, "I see your sincerity, but I have one more condition!"
"Please, go ahead," Claire Raymond responded, appearing all ears.
"You must make a blood oath not to betray me or disclose any information I share with you," Dean Bruce said, his expression steady. "If you can't agree to this, then we have nothing more to discuss."
There was no choice; Claire Raymond was indeed intimidated by that ethereal woman, yet her true power far exceeded Dean Bruce's. To ensure his own safety, Dean Bruce had to insist on the blood oath.
