When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 366 The Saintess's Taste is Really Good
"A bet's a bet, I agree to your terms."

The decision was not made by Sister Natalia, but by Catherine, who was enveloped in holy light.

“Take me back to the train, and you win.”

Amidst the radiance, Ekaterina's gaze fell upon Bai Ze, and she said in as calm a tone as possible, "I can accept your terms on behalf of the military strategist. Now, release me."

Click——

Bai Ze felt like his shoulder bone was about to shatter; "Luo Shui's" eyes were terrifying.

Ekaterina agreed so easily, what do you think is the relationship between the two of you?
"Haha," Bai Ze forced a laugh, "Why should I believe you?"

He was trying to use this to clarify his and Ekaterina's positions and to tell Mu Yaoguang that everything before was an accident.

That was purely a momentary impulse, and also because the mental confrontation was too dangerous. It was a side effect of emotional outburst, and definitely not from my own intention.

Although Catherine's lips were soft, her uvula was assertive and slippery...
The saint's tastes really good.

'No! Now is not the time to reminisce.'

Bai Ze tried hard to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind, putting on a selfless and altruistic appearance.

The key now is to establish our opposition to Ursus; other matters can be addressed later.

What if Ursus changes its mind after we release Ekaterina?
They hid inside the train, and even though Bai Ze had the advantage in strength, he couldn't do anything to them, not to mention there was a painter inside the train who was not subject to suppression.

"Contracts can be signed under the witness of the god of commerce."

Ekaterina replied quite considerately, "This is also a transaction, and the god of commerce will ensure its fulfillment."

As long as he avoids pitfalls, the god of business is the best witness. This is his foundation and the path he takes to increase his strength.

This has also been verified in the previous work of theologians.

Even if the god of commerce wanted to retaliate against the theologians, it was because of a breach of contract. In a way, the god of commerce gave them free advertising.

As Ekaterina finished speaking, a ball of light slowly rose from the train, and the train conductor's voice came: "In the name of the God of Commerce, the train can act as a witness and guarantee the fulfillment of the transaction."

Mu Yaoguang was very pleased with Ekaterina's thoughtful suggestion. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

But in reality... Bai Ze felt that his shoulder was completely numb.

Ekaterina's thoughtfulness seemed to indicate her desire to escape danger as quickly as possible, but those who witnessed the earlier scene might have interpreted it in a different light.

The more considerate she was, the more Bai Ze suffered.

Mu Yaoguang remained calm and composed, displaying her elegance, but the possessed "Luoshui" was a bit terrifying. In any case, Bai Ze felt that he was probably doomed this time.

"Then, let's sign the contract."

The train conductor, who had transformed into a ball of light, floated up and solemnly announced: "Mu Yaoguang's side relinquishes control over Ekaterina. In return, Ekaterina will help Mu Yaoguang replace the theologian and secure a seat on the governing council of the Wan Yi Zhi Ji. Do both sides agree?"

“Agreed,” Ekaterina said.

Mu Yaoguang nodded in agreement.

"The contract is established, and those who violate it will be executed."

As the train conductor announced, a heavy pressure simultaneously enveloped both of them, making them simultaneously sense the establishment of the contract and the consequences of breaking it.

Although this was a transaction using the spoils of the god of commerce, the god of commerce still acted as a witness.

It's not just because Mu Yaoguang's previous words have been known to the God of Commerce, but also because of their identities and the items being traded. If this transaction can be completed, it will greatly benefit the God of Commerce.

By proactively proposing and courting the god of commerce, Ursus undoubtedly indicates that he will do his utmost to push the deal through and ensure that no underhanded tactics are employed.

This also shows Ekaterina's sincerity, or rather... thoughtfulness.

Bai Ze felt completely numb. How did Ekaterina suddenly become so better all of a sudden?

Originally, the two sides were supposed to continue their standoff and negotiate, giving Bai Ze a chance to temporarily extricate himself and devise a strategy. But now it seems...

He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes rolled back.

I'm going to faint.

Since things have come to this, I might as well just faint.

The aftereffects of the mental exhaustion swept over him, releasing the fatigue he had been suppressing. Bai Ze simply slumped onto Luo Shui's shoulder and passed out.

The deal has been made, and I no longer need to force myself to stay in this position. The key is that I was able to escape by falling unconscious. How wonderful!

At the same time, in a passenger room on the train, the painter put down his brush. "The profit I was about to make is gone, but—"

Looking at the newly completed portrait, she thought, "It wasn't a complete loss. The ability to be unpredictable..."

The painting depicts a lifelike upper body in simple colors, and it is a portrait of Bai Ze.

"It seems that the gathering of all things is about to take a turn for the better."

Afterwards, Catherine was released, and after some discussion, the group returned to the train.

The follow-up matters still need to be discussed, such as how to remove the theologians and how to replace them with writers, but considering that everyone has just gone through a great battle, let's rest for now.

Ekaterina's room had been destroyed earlier, but there was no shortage of rooms on the train, so she could find another one.

She returned to the room amidst a great glow, with the nun following behind her.

"Your Highness."

The nun looked at Catherine, thought for a moment, and said, "It is our incompetence that allowed the writer to reap the rewards."

“You’re wrong. It’s not you who are incompetent, it’s me,” Ekaterina’s voice came from the light. “If I hadn’t lost to Bai Ze, you wouldn’t have been threatened. It was also my loss in the bet with Bai Ze that led to the deal.”

Otherwise, Ursus would still have room to maneuver.

Upon hearing this, the nun immediately replied, "We can afford to win or lose; Your Highness has done nothing wrong."

If a leader can admit their mistakes, can a subordinate do the same?

Although the nun was a religious person, she still possessed this kind of workplace wisdom.

“Yes, we can afford to lose, but we still lost in the end,” Ekaterina said with a strange tone. “Dongxia Bai Ze is indeed a figure not to be underestimated. Sister Natalia, what do you think would happen if Bai Ze became one of our Ursus people?”

"We are willing to give him the highest honor, and he will bring us the greatest glory."

The nun said with a hint of regret, "But he is from Dongxia."

“It might not be impossible,” Ekaterina laughed. “It all depends on whether my hoe can dig it up.”

The nun was puzzled.

She knew about Dongxia, but clearly not as much as Ekaterina; she didn't know what it meant to poach someone's talent.

Catherine didn't explain much, and then, using the excuse of needing to bind the Hand of God, she had the nun retreat to the door to stand guard.

Once the room was empty, the dazzling light gradually dimmed, revealing Ekaterina, whose military uniform was somewhat disheveled and whose face still had a faint blush.

"White Pond."

Her pale fingers touched her slightly swollen lips. A hint of confusion flashed in Ekaterina's eyes, which then turned sharp. "Even if you win this time, the daughter of Ursus will never admit defeat. There will be plenty of opportunities to compete in the future."

As a pure Ursus, Ekaterina showed no hesitation; the hunter had found his prey and was about to capture it.
