"Before I take you in, we need to make a deal first." Diana spread out her raised hand, in which was a Contract Seed. "I require you - no, to be more precise, your Stand User, to shut up the moment your identity is exposed."
Lyle opened his mouth, and this time he wanted to say something: "How do I shut up?"
Diana smiled: "Bite off your tongue, swallow poison, whatever you want, as long as you can keep the secret forever."
Lyle was shocked: "You want me to die?!"
"Look, Mr. Tongue." Diana was not surprised by Lyle's reaction and said calmly, "This is the difference between you and me. I can ensure that every one of my servants will devote themselves to me, but your servants cannot. Excuse me,
Mr. Tongue, this person's existence is disadvantageous to both you and me. If possible, I would prefer to meet with you in person."
After hearing Diana say this, Lyle's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
This damn hermaphrodite could actually say such vicious words!
Lyle really wanted to roar at Diana, saying that he was Lord Visas' most loyal lackey and would never betray Lord Visas.
However, his enthusiasm was dwarfed by the real "puppet" in front of him.
After all, no matter how loyal a dog is, there is a possibility that it may betray its master, but a lifeless puppet does not even have the option of betrayal.
What a conspiracy this is!
Lyle panicked immediately and tried to explain to Bai Wei in his heart: "Lord Visas, don't listen to his nonsense. I will never betray you! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"
"Don't be nervous." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I have never worried about your betrayal."
Bai Wei's words made Lyle happy. He was about to say something else to express his loyalty, but then he heard Bai Wei speak slowly.
"And I am not your master."
So the brief joy turned into panic again, and he thought that Lord Visas didn't want him as a running dog anymore: "Lord Visas, I—"
"Compared to the boring master-servant relationship, I prefer the partnership. You get what you give. As a businessman, you should be familiar with this model." Bai Wei said, "I am trading with her, and I am also trading with you. There is no point in forcing a sale. If you don't want to, then just refuse."
Lyle opened his mouth, obviously not expecting Lord Visas to say such a thing.
Instead of treating him as a lackey, are you treating him as a trading partner?
Lyle was indeed very familiar with this model. After all, even black marketeers still valued free trade.
But Lyle also knew that if he missed something from a merchant, he would still have a chance to buy it in the future.
But what he missed from Lord Visas. He lowered his head and looked at the Seed of Contract in Diana's hand. He was in a trance and returned to the day five years ago when Harrow reached out his hand to him who had just become a father.
So after a brief silence, Lyle reached out his hand, grabbed the Seed of Contract, and then bit into it hard.
The fierceness and determination in his eyes were exactly the same as five years ago.
