Chapter 398 - The Host (7)

"Are you satisfied now?" Luke pointed out my fever getting worse.

"If she dies, then I guess there's nothing we can do," Ailes shrugged.

I guessed that the s-class monster's only purpose for trying to save me was to turn me into one of them. If it wasn't for the faulty memorila for making me this sick, their plan would have worked. Thinking he could pity me enough to grant one of my requests, I tried asking, "you know how I'm dying. Can you give me ownership to this tower as my lash wish? Please?"

"Ownership to this tower?" One of his eyebrows went up.

"I need this gaming room. This place has headgears and other forms of entertainment," I explained.

I decided I wanted a property of my own, one that nobody could touch. I could report those who interrupted me from playing my games. The first district had strict property laws, having high penalties for trespassing. Plus, most of the gaming equipment was already inside this room. I was sick of being inside the Roselia family mansions for almost every holiday when I couldn't go back to the third district. I could kick everyone out of here so I could choose how to spend the rest of my days until I died.

"And you said this is only your headquarters for this mission. Making it easily abandonable and whoever you stole it from probably already gave up on it," I added.

"We didn't steal the tower. It's part of our territory," Ailes seemed to feel wrongly accused.

"Then it shouldn't matter if you give me a little chuck," I pointed out.

"We reincarnated people should support each other, should we not? I need my gaming room to play that game until I die in peace. Is it that hard? You'll get your tower back soon," I exposed how his words from before weren't making sense.

"What do I get in return?" He crossed his arms.

"Money. I can offer you some money in exchange," I could use some of the Roselia family's wealth.

"Do you think money matters to us?" He seemed a bit offended.

"Well it's better than nothing and I totally blame everything on you since I wouldn't have to die if you let us go to get treatment," I showed how heartless he was.

"Nine hundred million Aris. I'll promise you if you give me this much money then I'll transfer the ownership to your name. And since I'm a generous person, I'll make sure all the monsters under me won't enter while you own it," Ailes was basically mocking me.

"How about we put it in a contract?" I learned from Luke that I needed something to back me.

"A contract? Do you even have the money?" He scoffed.

"Do you think I still trust you without it?" I argued.

"I'll sign if you have one!" Ailes went along with me.

"Luke, give him the contract," I knew Luke always carried around his contracts that had no loopholes.

Sadly, it was to mostly use it on me. From my experiences of him trying to get me to sign them, he carried many different types. Luke switched from worrying about my fever to pulling out a scroll, humming with mana to bind someone to one of the strongest contracts. The spell integrated into the contract was strong enough to hold someone who had an unlimited amount of mana to be accountable. Meaning, Ailes wouldn't be able to break anything he agreed to do.

"I'll make some adjustments," he wrote more additional terms.

"You can sign here," Luke passed him the scroll.

"You don't have the money anyways," Ailes signed the contract.

Everyone knew that nine hundred million Aris was even a large amount for the Roselia family. But he didn't know that the Roselia family had invested more than five hundred million Aris in Luke's bank account and the remaining in mine. When I tried to run away in the second district, I checked how much money I had in my bank account. I was stunned as my bank account was joined with Luke, combining the total amount to be exactly nine hundred million Aris.

"Can you give him the money?" I requested Luke.

"Here is nine hundred million Aris," Luke didn't hesitate to transfer the funds.

"Are you serious?" Ailes saw the huge amount of money being transferred to him in the form of a cheque.

Getting the energy, almost falling from rising from my bed, my arms wobbled. Propping myself up, sweat dripping down, clothes wet, I held onto the headboard for support. I laughed, thinking I finally had some property under my name.

"This gaming room is mine!" I laughed.

"Now get out of my property!" I gestured.

"Please leave," Luke joined in.

"We don't know what may happen to you with the penalties in the contract," he pointed them out.

Ailes froze, stunned at the number of pages he didn't read. The penalties were too stringent, leaving no loopholes. This was why you never signed a contract given by Luke. I smiled as I watched him leave with the entire circus and more of his underlings from the window. This tower could actually be the safest place in the first district since monsters wouldn't ever be able to break in as long as I was alive.

Although it would be sad if this fever killed me today when I finally owned a room full of entertainment, waiting to be touched. Trying to focus on the positive things like getting rid of Ailes, I turned to Luke, "can you leave too? I want to spend the rest of my days in gaming,"
