BXBX NOVEL Chapter 310 - Stay
With this, we can also say for sure that their reason to enslave others is not only to create a replaceable workforce but probably also to oppress normal citizens and orphans with the slightest potential, turning them into their combat force. At least that\'s what I assume.
On the other hand, it might also be possible that beautiful women, girls, or handsome men and youths will be enslaved and turned into slaves to satiate the more prosperous nobles and merchants\' desires!"
Shane didn\'t need a long time to summarize everything as simple as it was before he started to summarize the Jual Clan\'s possible gains from the Slave market
"Not only will everyone with a high potential that crossed a certain threshold be enslaved with the possible reason to build an army, but because nobody with talent is able to retaliate, there won\'t be a riot against the slave market either!
If someone dares to start a rebellion, they might even be killed if they can\'t defend themselves against someone stronger than them.
Furthermore, through the profits that come from selling slaves for whatever reason, the Jual clan is able to acquire more cultivation resources for their descendants, which allows them to become stronger in a shorter period than others!"
Once Shane finished, Jason could only sigh deeply as he mumbled
"Why is everyone so fixated on enslaving others?!"
When Shane heard this, he could only sigh and explain it to his disciple, even if he was sure that Jason was already aware of the reason.
"Enslaving someone prevents needless trouble and fear of being betrayed, creates huge profits and can even be used to force someone to do things they wouldn\'t do under normal circumstances. Once you\'re forced into submission, the only way to dissolve a soul contract is the superior contractor\'s death. At least under the assumption that the soul contract doesn\'t state that you have to stay loyal and submissive to a whole family or clan which is, for example, the case in the Drake clan\'s soul contract!
In that case, the whole clan has to be annihilated to forcefully nullify the soul contract!"
Nodding his head, Jason could tell that a soul contract made everything easier because he also used a soul contract for Emily.
However, his soul contract was completely different and only demanded her to stay loyal to the Golden-Soul shop and to remain kind to customers.
There was nothing excessively cruel or anything like that, while he can\'t even change anything inside the soul contract if Emily prevents him from doing so because he didn\'t label himself as \'superior\' in the contract.
The only thing he clearly stated was that Emily was his employee, but that was it.
Sighing deeply, he averted his gaze to Artemis, whom he caressed, only for Scorpio with his large body to demand caresses too.
Fortunately, their living room was large enough for Scorpio to be summoned, otherwise, there would be a hellfire of curses inside his mind, stating that he favors Artemis.
This would be extremely bad and Jason continued to caress his two soulbonds that were extremely clingy and indigent as he saw that Dalia helped up Emily, who could barely open her eyes.
After regaining her consciousness, Emily found herself in a foreign room, before a blond-haired middle-aged woman stared at her and the only thing she heard was a sigh of relief from that woman.
Forcing herself to sit up, she looked through the room, where she saw Jason talking with a middle-aged man with black hair and his two soulbonds extremely close to him, quarreling with each other about Jason\'s attention.
Seeing that Emily was awake, Jason wanted to stand up, only for Artemis and Scorpio to restrain him, which caused him to frown.
"Hello!? Let me move please?!" Trying to use force, Jason could only lament that his soulbonds were stronger than him, by several levels at that.
Being forced to remain seated, he told Emily reassuringly.
"Emily, It\'s good that you\'re conscious again. You don\'t have to be afraid of anyone here. Just tell us if anything hurts! Dalia might be able to help you!"
Smiling drily, Emily was overwhelmed with her current situation as she noticed two Dryads standing next to her, using their healing ability to soothe the pain inside her.
After taking a few deep breaths she was able to calm down as she began to understand what happened.
"Did you bring me here because I fainted?" She hesitantly asked, unsure if she misunderstood anything wrong or if Jason was really worried about her well-being, only to see him nodding his head
"Yeah, I didn\'t know what was going on with you and thought that bringing you to my home would be the best solution. I couldn\'t just leave someone unconscious in my shop, right?"
Trying to ease the tension inside the living room, Jason added the last sentence, which was however not the best decision as he noticed Dalia\'s glaring gaze.
However, Emily didn\'t even notice that and smiled lightly, mumbling
"Thank you…"
Hearing how sincerely she thanked Jason for doing what he was supposed to do after burdening her with a soul contract and then convincing her to contract a soulbond at the Guardian-rank, Dalia couldn\'t help but embrace Emily, who was taken by surprise.
Jason and Shane were also astonished about Dalia\'s sudden behavior but thinking that Emily was an orphan who didn\'t receive much love in her childhood after her parents passed away, they could somehow understand why Dalia acted like that.
Emily was unsure what to do and only sat on the couch stiffly as she looked outside the window only to see that it was already sunset.
Trying to leave Dalia\'s embrace, she suddenly stood up with trembling legs and hurriedly said
"The shops will close soon, I have to go, otherwise, I can\'t exchange the mana stones with credits and look for a place to sleep!!"
Without looking back, she wanted to rush outside the house, when Shane suddenly said
"Do you even have enough credits for a shuttle, or do you want to run for several hours only to find out that the shops are already closed?"
Hearing this, Emily halted in her tracks and one could visible see how her mind tried to figure out a solution for her issue to find a sleeping place as Dalia said
"She can stay here!"
"Huh? STAY here or sleep here for today?" Shane almost immediately blurted out without caring that Emily who they were talking about was only a few meters away from them, trembling when she heard Shane\'s words.
"Staying of course? Her first soulbond is a Guardian-ranked beast and if she were to have a high soul world amplification, Jason would have killed her someone, when he convinced her to form a soulbond contract with such a soulbond?! Or have you forgotten that Jason\'s situation is already problematic with two Unblemished beasts as soulbonds?!
If you don\'t want to take your disciples responsibility I will take it!!"
Turning around with an "hmpf", Jason could only hear her faintly mumbling "Furthermore, she is cute!"
It was certainly true, that he convinced her into forming a soulbond but it was not like he forced her and Jason thought that Dalia only said this as a reason to let Emily stay with them.
Whether it was pity because Emily was an orphan, motherly feelings as a mother or something else didn\'t seem to matter to Dalia who approached Emily who still trembled from Shane\'s words to console her.
Patting Shane\'s shoulder, Jason only said "Good luck" before he stood up, using force to push away Scorpio\'s large head, to look into Emily\'s teary eyes as he said
"If you don\'t want to stay here, nobody will force you but you should at least sleep here for today. You can change your quantum bracelet tomorrow so I can transfer you credits.
However, if you decide to stay here, let me just tell you that this decision could be one of the best or the worst choices you might ever take in your whole life, changing your whole future!"
