Chapter 329

When Leon touched the snake skin scroll, he stood there stunned for quite a while without making a sound. The Red-haired Bureau Director couldn’t help but curiously ask,

“What kind of ability does this snake skin have? Why haven’t you reacted after just one look?”

“This snake skin…”

Leon snapped back to reality, smacked his lips, and said with a complicated gaze,

“Its name is [Unjust Snake Contract]. After signing both my name and another person’s name on it, it forces a contract with the other party, exchanging anything we currently hold, including anomalous items. If the value of the traded items isn’t perfectly equal, I’ll need to use my strength to make up the difference.”

Forced exchange, huh? After hearing Leon’s words, the Red-haired Bureau Director thought for a moment and then asked in confusion,

“I can understand why this thing is called ‘snake contract,’ since its power comes from the snake’s [Trade] ability and the Goddess of Wealth’s [Contract] ability, so the name makes sense.

But why is the prefix ‘unjust’? Based on your description, the trading process should be fair, right?”

“…”

Looking at just the trading process, it is indeed fair. But considering the “goods” I have for trading, it seems a bit unfair…

“Could the things you hit also be used to exchange others’ anomalous items?”

After directly deducing the answer from Leon’s expression, the Red-haired Bureau Director asked with a surprised look: “Leon, how are the values of those items you forged calculated? How many Leon Values worth of anomalous items can they exchange?”

“The value of those anomalous items I forged should be calculated based on materials and the contained power.

The [Muscular Feet] made from White Rock Holy Spirit is 49, the [Demon Lexicon] containing a Great Demon is 42, the remaining [Wolf Witch Medicine Bottle] is 32, the [Noon Mirror] is 41, and the [Memory Eating Secret Book] is 51.”

“…”

So any anomalous item with a Leon Value as high as thirty or fifty can simply be swapped by you knowing its name and writing it on the [Unjust Snake Contract], turning into those… those rather peculiar anomalous items? “Then this name is indeed apt.”

After nodding in agreement, the Red-haired Bureau Director asked expectantly, “How about quantity? What’s the maximum number of people you can sign contracts with? How many times can each person sign?”

“This… although it can be erased and rewritten, there’s only one contract, so it should only be able to be signed once.”

“I see…”

Upon hearing this, the Red-haired Bureau Director said disappointingly,

“With only one chance, it can’t be used as a regular method; it can only be used as a crucial trump card.

Unfortunately, if you could sign contracts freely, maybe just you and me alone could directly catch the Aquarius Director. Your forced exchange is truly… uh… wait!”

At this point, the Red-haired Bureau Director seemed to remember something and suggested excitedly,

“Isn’t the Goddess of Wealth wanting to cooperate with you? When she recovers, you can invite her down, and we chop off one of her tails!”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean ‘huh’? She not only ambushed you guys but almost killed Emma!”

Thinking of her unconscious best friend and her arms that were almost completely emeraldized, the Red-haired Bureau Director’s beautiful fox-like eyes slightly narrowed, her voice tinged with coldness: “Scale Gold Religion… tch, if it weren’t for the commotion caused by Aquarius and Watchtower Palace, forcing Honorable Taurus to self-seal herself at Headquarters, I’d go find Honorable Taurus now, report to her, and get her approval for our Bureau and Leo Bureau’s joint operation to eliminate the Goddess of Wealth directly!”

My badass director~ Looking at the director who was usually mischievous and cunning, rarely showing real anger, and now revealing a domineering aura fitting for a Yellow Path Director, Leon couldn’t help but give her a big thumb up.

“That’s right!”

After appreciatively looking at Leon who shared the same hatred, the Red-haired Bureau Director retracted the coldness in her eyes and smiled amiably: “After taking revenge, if you can create a second [Unjust Snake Contract], it will still belong to you. This thing requires high intelligence, which matches your abilities perfectly.”

The second one still belongs to me? After hearing the promise from the Red-haired Bureau Director, Leon couldn’t help but blink slightly, feeling somewhat moved:

“Director, I…”

“Don’t say thank you! Mainly because this thing suits you the most. I estimate only you can obtain so many ‘special’ anomalous items.”

After raising a hand to stop him, the Red-haired Bureau Director pulled out a small bottle from somewhere and smiled amiably,

“If you really want to thank me, then fulfill my birthday wish like we agreed before, how about that?”

“Alright!”

After hearing the Red-haired Bureau Director’s request, Leon nodded without hesitation, full of gratitude, and then asked curiously: “Director, your second wish is helping me get suitable anomalous items, so what’s the first wish? Is it hard to achieve?”

“Not hard, not hard, very simple.”

Handing over the small bottle, the Red-haired Bureau Director said expectantly: “Take a big gulp of this, then close your eyes!”

“???”

What’s this strange wish?

Looking at the familiar-looking small bottle in his hand and then at the director smiling like a little fox, Leon frowned slightly, unscrewed the cap, and cautiously sniffed it instead of immediately following through.

Blackberries, cedar, spices, blood oranges… the complex yet clear and refreshing aroma mixed with a slight spiciness rushed into his nose, flowing steadily and irresistibly into his lungs. Then, during his breathing, it combined with his blood, spreading an inexplicable fragrance through his veins, making Leon’s mind feel slightly numb, as if lying on a velvet pillow, producing a strange sensation similar to being tipsy.

“…”

Wine? And this smell… is it the only bottle of “drunken brewing” level wine among the ones sent by the Taurus Director? Didn’t I put it in the warehouse on the first floor of the Virgo Bureau? Why is it in your hands?

Shaking his head forcefully to shake off the strange drunkenness, Leon asked puzzledly: “Director? Isn’t this the bottle…”

“Ah, don’t worry about what it is, just take a big gulp already, I won’t harm you!”

“…”

You may not harm me, but this request definitely isn’t right!

Looking at the red-haired director eagerly urging him to drink, Leon instinctively squinted his eyes.

For a director who loves drinking, drinking all the good wine in front of her is almost no different from committing infidelity right in front of her. She would definitely not tolerate such a thing.

But these wines were enchanted with verbal secret arts by the Taurus Director. They taste like wine only when in my mouth; in others’ mouths, they’re just… wait, in my mouth? Suddenly realizing a possibility, Leon looked at the red-haired director whose eyes slightly avoided his and couldn’t help but exclaimed in shock: “Director, you wouldn’t… want to drink the wine directly from my mouth, would you?”
