Kingdom of Corrosion

Shana rolled her eyes at Lin Wu, "Could you just unconditionally take my side for once?"

Lin Wu replied, "That’s not okay. I don’t like Nightmare either, I’ve never liked her, but I deeply respect Maya. One source of that respect is her persistence. Even though it’s unreasonably stubborn, it’s still admirable. Hey, what exactly is it that you dislike about Nightmare?"

Shana answered, "It was when she found me and demanded that I honor the contract. I was too young, how could I have signed such a contract before migrating?"

Lin Wu chuckled, "You were worried about not being able to make it on Earth, so you didn’t let go of Fortress’s thigh." After signing the contract, whether or not you help Fortress’s agents, you’d still get a position at Earth Fortress Company. As the number one giant of Blue Star, Fortress Company, its strength and influence directly radiated to Earth, and even if the company was operating at a loss on Earth, the parent company would continue to support its subsidiary to maintain its influence.

Signing the contract was essentially obtaining a guarantee.

Shana smiled back, "So my reason isn’t presentable, but I just don’t like it." I can sign the contract, but why did she have to come to me? As an individual, it’s hard to keep one’s actions aligned with their heart. Besides, Shana had fulfilled the contract. Convincing Lin Wu to wreak havoc on Nightmare had nothing to do with the contract.

"Let’s drop this idea for now," Lin Wu said, "I’m also very aware that Nightmare won’t try to take me down directly. Besides worrying she can’t kill me, and that I’ll take the chance to rob the safe house, Nightmare also cares quite a bit about the trust between her and Maya... so, no beer, okay?"

Shana replied, "Beer not only staves off hunger but is also nutritious."
