The man put away the portrait and took out a contract. "You should know who I work for. Here's the contract. You can take a look first."
Jiang Man's heart sank. It really was one of Peak Master Bai's men.
'I couldn't avoid it. I wonder if I'll still be able to borrow what I need later.'
Jiang Man accepted the contract and discovered it contained an irresistible power. Once signed, he feared it would be nearly impossible to violate.
Violating it would require paying a massive amount of Spiritual Source.
More than he could ever afford.
Jiang Man didn't rush to read it. Instead, he asked, "If I don't sign, will you attack me, Senior Brother?"
"Not in the Outer Sect," the man said.
Jiang Man nodded. 'So he'll do it in the Inner Sect.'
Just then, the man looked at Jiang Man and said, "You're too young."
Jiang Man, who had been about to inspect the contract's contents, looked up at the man in astonishment.
He didn't understand what he meant.
