He took out a soul contract from his bag, with the terms already written on it. Peggy took it and looked through it. It was basically some necessary team cooperation terms, such as Party A and Party B must not harm each other directly or indirectly. The last clause is worth noting:
This contract is valid for 5 years. Party A (Ask) provides Party B (Peggy) with sufficient knowledge and training to help her grow to a level that is sufficient to protect herself, and Party B needs to obey Party A's instructions without violating the above terms of cooperation. Party A is responsible for distributing the spoils obtained by the team.
Standard mercenary apprenticeship agreement.
"So you teach me fighting skills in exchange for my life for you?" Peggy asked.
"That's right." Ask said with a smile:
"You now have the basic level of extraordinary power, but you don't know how to use it. I will teach you how to use your own strength effectively in exchange for you working for me for a period of time. Is that reasonable?"
"One more thing," Peggy said, "Help me to avenge and kill the vampires in your house. There is a time limit."
It was obvious that the girl was still wary and distrustful of him, but Ask didn't care.
In fact, according to the main storyline, a world-class total war will only happen in the next few years.
If fighting alone, even the most powerful extraordinary being will inevitably be killed.
Therefore, Ask has sufficient reasons to push forward the establishment of a high-level combat team that obeys his command.
As for these teammates, it doesn’t matter whether you trust me at the beginning. As long as they taste the sweetness later, they will naturally be bound by the interests.
"Okay." Ask wrote, "Then within a week."
Revenge within this week? Peggy was suddenly a little excited, but in front of Ask, she suppressed her excitement and just watched him sign his name on the soul contract coldly.
"Okay." Ask handed the contract over, "Take a look."
Peggy reviewed the contract again and confirmed the key terms of the contract: Ask taught her how to use her extraordinary powers in exchange for her working for him for five years. As for revenge, it was just a gift.
To her, this was not unacceptable. If she had extraordinary powers that night, how could her parents be killed by the vampire that broke into their house
Furthermore, she is now a vampire. If she does not have the power to protect herself, she might be discovered and executed by the church one day.
Thinking of this, Peggy signed her name at the end of the contract.
"Okay, now we'll be partners who can live and die together." Ask smiled and put away the contract, sensing that there was an invisible supernatural power connecting the two parties.
"Please also remember the one about helping me get revenge, Mr. Ask." Peggy said coldly.
"Don't call me sir, just call me by my name." Ask said, untying the dagger hanging from his belt. "This is the weapon prepared for you."
"Weapon?" Peggy took the dagger.
"Some vampires believe that claws and spells are their best weapons." Ask explained, "Not really. Before you reach level 5, you still need an excellent weapon. Do you know why I blocked you every time you attacked me?"
