"I've called everyone willing to sign the contract in exchange for getting the power."
Max asserted.
"And how many of them are here?"
Alex questioned as he walked through the hall of the Steel mansion.
"Make a guess…"
Max smiled at Alex's question.
Alex just rolled his eyes at that.
He knew that the number must be high for Max to say sothing like that, so he made a guess.
"22?"
Alex's guess caused the smile on Max's face to be replaced by shock as he stopped on his track.
"What?"
Alex questioned as a chuckle couldn't help but leave his mouth.
"Did I get it right?"
The look on Max's face was comical, with shock and disbelief mixed.
"How the hell did you guess the exact number??"
Max couldn't stop himself from asking that question.
"Who knows..."
Alex just smiled and then started walking forward.
"Hey! Wait, tell !
How did you know the exact number?!"
Max chased after Alex.
He wanted answers, right now.
But Alex just smiled and hastened his steps, though it still looked like he was walking.
"Hey!"
Max just kept shouting, trying to catch up to Alex but he realized that although both of them were walking, for so reason, Alex's speed was a bit too fast.
In the end, he just sighed at his loss.
Alex wasn't going to tell him that he used his perception skill to count the number of people now, was he?
..................…..
There were at least 30 SS-rankers in the world right, all thanks to Alex and the Crimson Lotus.
The free loot that they let go of ca in handy for these people to level up, but unlike so would think, none of them were grateful about it or anything or so it looked like.
What Alex asked Max to do was send a ssage to each and everyone who was SS-ranked or above that they were going to help them get stronger.
Stronger than they already are, because the world is going to face enemies that are much stronger than them right now.
All they had to do in return was sign a contract, a contract that would bind their souls, and if they ever betrayed the world or did sothing that was judged as evil by the contractee.
Alex and Max didn't expect more than 5 people, so 22 was way more than what they had guessed.
'Who knew that there were still so grateful people left in the world….'
'And I can see so familiar faces….'
Alex, who was standing in a compartnt in the grand hall of the Steel Mansion, looking down at the briefing Max was giving to the people who arrived, thought inwardly.
He was wearing formal attire with a maroon three-piece coat, a white shirt, maroon pants, and black shoes.
He was wearing a branded watch on his left hand that he was slipping in his pocket while his right hand which he was using to drink wine, had a marron bracelet.
'Anna Gorge, and Brock Ironwood.'
Alex smiled as he recalled the eting with both of them.
Each is unique in its own way.
Although not much was shown about their interactions, Alex had t every ranker in the world.
'There are so famous faces as well….'
Alex mused as he saw Keria Momobani. The second ti-ability user in the world.
Her ability was slowing down the ti around her enemies, making them slow.
'An expert in swordsmanship, I see….'
Alex could feel the sharp aura coming out of her body.
No one else could notice it, but she was alert right now, and although her sword was seethed, it was ready to cut anyone.
'Oh?'
Alex raised his brow in amusent.
Keria was able to detect his gaze after all.
Her hazel eyes squinted as she tried to make out the features of Alex, but her tries only gave her one thing and that was nothing.
This is Max's house, after all, no one could be able to look through the glasses, unless, until, they use their abilities, which again was impossible.
Because this was the house of the most influential man on the planet, of course, after Alex.
Right now, Max was just clearing their questions and other kinds of stuff while also checking if he could feel the connection of contract from their bodies.
How could contact be in their bodies?
Well, the contracts were sent to them along with the ssage, if they agree to it, then they should sign it and be at Steel Mansion at the eting ti.
If they don't, then they could just dispose of the contract.
So, Max had to make sure if they really did sign the contract or not.
If they did then he would be able to feel their lives in his hands, and he could feel it all right, which ant that they did sign the contract.
As for the questions that these people had related to the contract, Max answered them all.
But all of them missed a single detail….
'Anything that Max judged as evil…'
Alex chuckled as he recalled Max's expression when he wrote that part.
This was the part that Alex and Max were going to use.
Anything that Max judges evil ans anything that harms his interest, and that could be anything that goes against Max's wishes, so in a way, they all signed a slave contract.
It was not fair, but that was how the world worked, so it was fine.
After the question-and-answer session, the raiders were then led to a room, or more like a hall while Max went to et with Alex.
The raiders were offered coffee and drinks while their host, Max, stood beside Alex, who was still observing them all.
"Do we start then?"
Max asked curiously.
Max, who knew how powerful one would beco if they got the boost from Alex, was a bit too excited to have 22 EX-rankers under him.
Max knew how strong an EX-ranker was. After all, he was one as well.
Max was still a bit high on power since he was still unable to control his strength fully.
"Let them have so drinks and all they want. We're not in a hurry, let take a look at them for a bit longer."
Alex was going to give them the power, but he wanted to observe them a bit longer.
It just so happened that he got interested in that Keria woman.
He was thinking of making use of the first skill related to a sword that he got from the Orc Village.
She might be able to make good use of it….
But one thing was sure.
All those raiders that ca in today were going to go out with three things.
A happy smile, a power so strong that could make them rule the world, and a slave collar that they won't know about.
It was just a matter of ti.
The power upgrade serum to get soone to EX rank was already bought by Alex from the store, and he could buy more.
With the sum he had on him right now, it was not that big of a deal for him.
For him, it would be like showing the world a bit of kindness for letting him have a nice stay.
