Left with no other choice, Nancy and the other demons had to look to the contract.

"..."

"..."

The contract was somewhat scribbled, but it essentially stated that the demons who signed the contract were not allowed to disclose any information detrimental to Ron in any form, except when Ron instructed them to do so; otherwise, they would be violating the contract.

The divine power attribute of the contract will directly affect the soul, and anyone who tries to harm Ron will launch a soul attack.

Since the contract Ron presented was extremely powerful, the punishment should have ended before it even began.

In addition to confidentiality, the contract also stipulates that the contractor must not harm any beings in this dimension, except in cases of self-defense or counterattack.

Ron was still thinking about cooperating with the devil in front of him. The thought of cooperating with such a wicked person was unpleasant. Of course, Ron couldn't care less about the affairs of other dimensions.

To prevent the partner from going out of business prematurely, they thoughtfully included a clause stating that self-defense and counterattacks are in accordance with the contract.

The demon Nancy was seething with hatred. After thinking it over, she looked at Rita again and reluctantly signed the divine power contract with her blood.

The demon clan member next to Nancy didn't think much of it; he had initially thought he was going to die! Signing such a contract to save his life was really worthwhile.

Seeing that things were about to be settled, Ron said, "Each person will have a copy of this contract. Losing the contract will render it useless. The God of Contracts is our witness."

The demon Nancy replied listlessly: "The God of Contracts bears witness."

Ignoring the demons' expressions, Ron smiled broadly: "You can keep the contract. I can show it to your superiors. It's not very long and won't affect your faction. Also, from now on, my only partners in cooperation and negotiations will be you."

After signing the divine power contract, the demon race will have some divine power contamination attributes. Keeping the original text of the contract can prove their innocence to a certain extent.

For demons, divine power is a form of corruption.

If the demons above them really want to cooperate, Nancy and the others will probably be left behind; after all, not leaving them behind won't be a loss for Ron.

This contract has a huge impact on Nancy and the others. From now on, they can no longer harm the beings in this dimension, so they can only contact other demons to participate in actions in other dimensions.

Since Ron said that only designated people could contact her, it was impossible for Nancy to completely escape the trap. It was foreseeable that her progress in the demon realm would become extremely slow.

Nancy really didn't want to see Pope Ron's smiling face anymore; she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

How despicable! How hateful! (｀⌒′メ)

You can't even say that?!

It's awful!

...

"Your Holiness, if you have no further instructions, we will take our leave."

"No, what do you mean there's nothing wrong? There's something else. What is your purpose in coming here? What are your plans for the demons in the Baron Empire?"

"Your Holiness the Pope has no comment!"

"Since we're both parties to the contract, what's there to hide?"

"No means no."

"..."

Well, Ron was just asking. Just as Ron would take precautions to maintain secrecy, the other side's intelligence personnel would also be subjected to similar methods, and some seemingly insignificant questions would actually expose some loopholes.

This is a world of magic...

Feeling that everything was probably alright, Ron tried asking a few questions but didn't want to waste any more time: "My contracted partners are really useless. Well then, get lost!"

As she left, Nancy clenched her fist, her sharp nails digging into her palm, drawing blood. When she wasn't facing Ron, her blood-red eyes, those of a demon, seemed to be urging him to fight.

'Damn it, Pope Ron Lance, you'd better hurry your descent into corruption! Don't fall into my hands.'

Thinking about it, Nancy's anger subsided a little, but when she thought of the fallen Pope's soul, she once again revealed a greedy expression.

Ron watched the two demons' departing figures, lost in thought.

Heh, in the future, whenever you realize that I, Ron, might influence the overall situation, a demon should speak up at the right time: No, no, the Pope is about to fall, about to fall...

Just imagine, Ron might get some amazing teammates in the future, it's kind of exciting!

Hopefully, the devil's higher-ups will spare them! And hopefully, Nancy, your backing will be even stronger.

After dealing with the enemy, Ron took care of some matters at hand.

"Uncle Arno, do you think what Ron did was appropriate?"

“My lord, whatever you do is your decision. I, Arno, am merely a warrior of the Kingdom of Gil, not a warrior of the Divine Kingdom.” Arno offered a one-knee knightly salute.

This ceremony is generally used during wartime.

Uncle Arno should belong to a knightly family. He used to be in dire straits, employed by the Tulip Merchant Guild, and now employed by Lord Sandy.

Ron replied calmly, "Okay, get up!"

"Let's go, we should head back."

"..."

It's just a casual remark to Uncle Arno; Vivian doesn't need to ask, and Rita has her own mission.

Some time later, Ron returned to the temporary courtyard that Yuna had arranged.

He tried to get Uncle Arno to call the Tulip people.

The man arrived, a young man of meager ability, probably a menial laborer while traveling as a merchant!

The person bowed respectfully:

"Please give me your orders, sir. The chairman said that all your requests must be fulfilled."

"It's simple. Take the token and deliver a few words to the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild. As for the specifics..."

In reality, they just wanted something related to the God of Commerce, and they were planning to do something about it. If they wanted Ron's help, they would have to make a significant contribution.

"Alright, you can go now. And hurry up."

...

The next day, the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild indeed delivered a divine magic item: a treasure-gathering jade artifact, shaped like a basin.

An otherworldly version of a treasure basin; by the way, the God of Commerce is also known as the God of Wealth in the mortal realm!

Observe the divine aura emanating from it... Hmm, acceptable.

"Uncle Anuo, go and have someone inform Yuna that we need to set off immediately."

Having already visited the Duchy of New Life, Ron was eager to return to his territory as soon as possible.

In two more days, the capital of the principality will become lively, and it will be difficult to travel there.

Yuna rushed over.

Outside the courtyard, Ron led the group and asked, "Is it alright now? Yuna, we need to go back to the Kingdom of Gil."

Yuna said helplessly, "No, do you think you'll let your sister Yuna off the hook, little Ron?"

"Of course we'll go back together. Let's chat with Yuna on the way!"

“Let’s go then!” Yuna replied with a slightly relaxed tone.

Actually, Yuna also wants to go back!

Of course, I always want to go home, but what can I do when Yuna is the president of a chamber of commerce with a mainland-level influence!

Ron thought to himself, Yuna's birthday present, a luxurious magic crystal car that runs on the ground, it's such a waste to just leave it here without moving.

Ron drove it for a stretch of road out of town, which was probably the only time he ever used it.

The magic crystal car drove away from the capital of the principality.

The wealthy district, the bustling streets of ordinary people, and the city gate.

"Greetings to President Tulip, and this gentleman..."

"..."

Another group of city guards were worshipping. The country of merchants does not refer to it as "attendance," which is quite a unique place.

Ron went down to face Yuna and said, "I'm sorry, I hope Sister Yuna will have someone take a car back."

Ron was really embarrassed that he had only used the birthday present once.

Yuna, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind: "It's alright, I'll bring Ron an even better one next time. We can just leave the cars parked and use each one once or twice..."

They're really rich and powerful. It was Ron who started to persuade them: "Sister Yuna, Ron doesn't really like cars. You'd be better off giving me some magic books or combat skill books..."

"..."

While chatting, Ron and his group changed to flying magic crystal vehicles, and the flying dragon brought along several maids and guards brought by Yuna.

As the daughter of a count in the Kingdom of Gil, Yuna also has maids, and her guards come from the Tulip Merchant Guild.

Okay, let's set off. Destination: Sandyland.
