Chapter 69 A contract that must be performed, and a notary sufficient to carry the contract
"Ah, [Rule]... is such an ancient term."
The hunters from the Powder Keg Gang showed some interest in Chen Yan.
"You are not an ordinary mortal... I did not feel the reminder of [No-Fight Pact]."
Reminder of [No-Fight Pact]?
Isn’t the [No-War Pact] some kind of consensus between extraordinary beings? Isn’t it something that can be abided by [consciousness]?
Chen Yan realized that the [No-War Pact] might be a truly extraordinary agreement, or it might be an extraordinary [rule] covering the entire Yanan City...
The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.
Yes, [no-fight agreement] is a certain kind of rule!
The hunters of the Powder Keg Gang didn't talk too much nonsense.
"[The Will of the Immortal], you can understand it as a rule: this rule makes a certain causal relationship take effect——
[Only the client of the will can do the things in the will].
That is to say:
[Only you, who are entrusted, can accept Johnny Murgwen's will and find Jack Baldo]."
The hunter from the Powder Keg Gang smiled, showing his big yellow teeth.
"Actually, we don't know how such a commission came about, let alone why the [Immortal Will] will take effect on you."
Those teeth had not been cleaned for who knows how many years. Standing opposite him, Chen Yan could smell the strong bad breath.
"There's more to your story, right, Asian gentleman? It's the story between you and Johnny Murgwen."
"We don't want to pry into your privacy, nor are we interested in knowing the story between you."
"We just want to find Jack Baldo."
Chen Yan suddenly realized: "So after you privately watched Johnny Murgwen's video tape, you have been waiting...waiting for the real entrusted person to arrive, through which you can find Jack Baldo.
"
The hunter of the Powder Keg Gang snapped his fingers, which was regarded as admitting what he said.
"Doing this doesn't come without pay."
"When you take the will and find Jack Baldo, we will dedicate all of Johnny Murgwen's inheritance - you will get all of that inheritance."
"You will also get the kindness of the Powder Keg Gang - please understand, this is the most valuable thing in this neighborhood."
When he said these words, the hand cannon linked to his arm was rotating.
There seems to be some kind of centrifugal device in the hand cannon. The speed at which the internal centrifugal device rotates is different from the speed at which the external hand cannon body rotates.
Chen Yan was thinking and didn't speak.
Instead, Claude Moon's voice rang in his head.
'Don't believe what he says. Francois don't use any credibility when doing business. What they are best at is turning against others.'
'Once you find the undead man, Johnny Murgwen's legacy will have nothing to do with you anymore.'
'Respond to my words with your mind, I can hear it - we can work out a reliable countermeasure.'
Chen Yan realized that Claude Moon had been tempting him and wanted him to communicate with him using his mind.
When he was at Green's clinic on High Street, the wizard hunter Green had warned him not to trust Claude Moon easily.
Chen Yan believed that there must be some internal reason for Claude Moon's current behavior.
He realized that the communication of thoughts with Claude Moon would definitely have unimaginable consequences.
He was convinced in his heart that he could not communicate with Claude Moon with his thoughts.
He looked at the hunters of the Powder Keg Gang and said, "How can you guarantee what you said?
After all, you have proven your credibility just now."
The hunters of the Powder Keg Gang laughed, knowing that Chen Yan was referring to their private inspection of customers' storage.
That was already the most serious breach of contract and a ruthless trampling on the credibility of the Powder Keg Gang.
"That's not what the Powder Keg Gang wanted," he said.
Chen Yan's face turned a little dark.
This guy, he's not even willing to defend himself.
"Sometimes, if you want to live in society, you have to do it yourself."
The hunter from the Powder Keg Gang raised his left hand and snapped his fingers again.
"It's better than this."
He pointed at Chen Yan's shadow.
"We asked him to be the notary of this contract...well, although he is no longer a human being."
Claude Moon's voice finally appeared in the secret room.
"The hunters of the Powder Keg Gang, the descendants of the legendary mortal heroes, the agents of the Master Craftsman, your way of doing things is to drag others into the muddy water?"
His voice was full of anger.
"I'm ashamed of you!"
The hunter from the Powder Keg Gang sneered and said angrily:
"Oh? An agent of the Moon Familiar Clan, a descendant of the legendary [God Usurper], just stay in other people's shadows all day long, entering and exiting other people's sacred and inviolable houses at will?"
Chen Yan's shadow shook a little, and a squirming shadow almost broke away from his shadow.
"I can be the notary of this contract, but I think the conditions offered by your Powder Keg Gang are too bad! You need to pay more!"
Chen Yan realized that what they called [contract notary] seemed to be some kind of rule.
He desperately wanted to know the rules.
One is because he must understand everything to ensure that he will not fall into the pit.
The second reason is that he has an extraordinary desire for these things...to explore these things in the extraordinary world hidden under normal society.
Seeing that the hunters of the Powder Keg Gang were about to conflict with Claude Moon, Chen Yan asked in time:
“Why can he become a [contract notary]?
I mean: What qualifications does he have to be a notary?"
His words attracted the attention of the hunters of the Powder Keg Gang.
Chen Yan continued: "As far as I know, the so-called [notaries] are mostly famous priests, public officials licensed by the government, or people who are recognized as wise and highly respected by the public."
When Chen Yan finished speaking, he clearly felt an awkward aura coming from the shadow on the ground.
The hunter of the Powder Keg Gang laughed loudly: "You are right! Claude Moon is indeed nothing!
But he still meets the requirements to be a notary public.
In your words, he meets the rules of being a notary -
He is one of the agents of the Moon God in the human world, and he is the inheritor of the bloodline of the final winner in the craze of lycanthropy thousands of years ago."
The gunpowder keg hunter said a word in a very solemn tone.
"Blood."
Blood in Imperial language may refer to blood itself, or the origin of blood, or... other things derived from blood.
"He has a noble enough bloodline, and this bloodline has enough power to withstand the rules of [Just Contract] and carry the identity of [Notary Public]."
Chen Yan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He didn't ask the next question.
His next question was: Why did Claude Moon have to be the notary of the contract? Why didn't he just refuse the hassle?
He already figured out the answer to this question:
Claude Moon has other plans for him.
