God's Eyes

Chapter 281 Proposal



Hearing Till behind him, Jason flinched and turned around only to see Till's serious expression.

Seron stood next to him looking at Jason, not knowing what to think about his friend.

Jason could see a trace of fear in Seron's eyes and he couldn't really help but feel that his friendship with Seron was not as thick as he previously imagined because the gap between them seemed to widen.

However, this thought was almost immediately disregarded, when he heard Seron next to Till quietly lamenting

"So he never had to go all out against me?"

Smiling lightly, he looked at Gabriella and Mark who indicated to him that they were fine and that he could go before he walked out of the Infirmary with Till and Seron in front of him.

They didn't say anything for several minutes before they entered a small room, which the two entered, only for Jason to inspect everything clearly with his mana eyes.

There was nobody except Till and Seron inside the room which was reassuring, but Jason also told himself that it was possible for others to have a complete mana concealment ability, as he already witnessed something like this from the untraceable Drakes within the four-star rift.

As such, he carefully entered the small room with simple furniture inside, while Till and Seron already sat on the couch, waiting for him to come inside.

Seeing Jason's acting too vigilant, Till said

"There is no need to be afraid of us. Rather than that I or more likely we want to help you if we can."

Once Till said this, Jason's tension loosened up slightly as he approached the couth opposite Till and Seron, where he sat down.

Looking at the two in front of him, Jason was unsure what they expected from him or if he should say something first when Till suddenly started.

"To be honest, I'm shocked that you already formed a fortified soul conjunction with your soulbond, at such a young age and only slightly more than 6 months after your soul-awakening. Furthermore, from the exoskeleton's appearance and the miniature Parascors I saw before, I assume that they're the same and that it evolved into a powerful being at that, am I right? You are always good for a surprise, but I don't think that your decision to reveal your fortified soul conjunction in front of two sovereign ranks and Old Drake was good.

Let me be blunt with you! If you don't want to be forced into submission by the Drake family's harsh soul contract, there are only three ways for you to take!

The first one would be that Shane appears in the next few hours, and takes you away, even if he has to use brute force.

However, I don't know how much he recuperated from his injury, while I'm sure that Old Drake should have a plan against this scenario, at least if his mind is not completely filled with his greed yet.

The second way I can see is that you ask me and Seron for your help! It might create an unfavorable relationship with the Drake family, but the Drake family patriarch wouldn't dare to wage war against the Gier and Greil family at the same time, only because we took you in! However, for our clans to do something like this, you would have to be worth the efforts, but I definitely think that you're worth it!

Your combat prowess, mana aptitude, soul world, and mana eyes are exceptional!

Furthermore, seeing that you were able to form a fortified soul conjunction in barely a few months, our clans' elders would definitely want to lure you in.

There would only be one small issue, which would be that you would have to form a soul contract with both of our clans, even if the clauses wouldn't shackle you down as with the Drake family's soul contract, they would still prevent you from attacking any of our families' descendants or even the possibility that you might collude with foreign races…

If you can't cope with either of the previous two ways, the third one might sound stupid, but there are more than enough prodigies who would rather take the third path than being forced into submission, which wouldn't be better than being a slave.

The third way you could take would be taking your own life, if everything else doesn't work out!

Fleeing from the Drake family without anyone helping you is not something you can do, even less with two sovereign ranks chasing you."

Ending his short speech, which was also an offer, Till started seriously inside Jason's eyes, waiting for an answer.

Jason only gulped down his saliva, and even if he was sure that the first choice or way, how Till labeled it, was what he would take in the end, he felt gratitude towards Till, who offered him the second choice.

However, in the end, Jason knew that he couldn't take the second choice, and that was not because he had to sign a soul contract.

The reason for him to be unable to accept the contract Till stated would be the last clause he named without thinking much about it.

Jason was called a Celestia halfling bye the Shadow walker, Yreal some time ago, and if that was really the case, how could he not work together with foreign races as he himself was one in this case.

With his current progress, it was impossible for him to stagnate at the lower cultivation ranks, which might allow him to leave Argos in the future.

When that happened, he might have to work with other races together because Jason doubted that every single foreign race was bad.

Even the Ganasia and Deepsea Scion race, humanity labeled as terrifying monsters were filled with agony when one of their brethren died.

As such, Jason would have a small problem if he still didn't hear anything from Shane.

Fortunately enough, this already happened and Jason looked at Till with sincerity gleaming in his eyes as he thanked him properly.

Standing up he even bowed to Till and also Seron, who looked at him astonished as he didn't expect to receive Jason's thanks, which embarrassed him.

Till nodded his head, accepting Jason's decision and he wished him good luck inwardly, when they changed their topic towards the next task they had to do.

Because it was Seron's mission to choose his second soulbond, Till didn't intervene, and he only sat back after telling his disciple to start.

Clearing his throat, Seron's expression turned serious and excited, as he simply said.

"If you don't have anything else to do anymore, we should immediately depart to the shaft that brings us to the mana vein!"

Hearing this, Till almost choke on the water he was drinking and he could only shake his head as he hoped that Seron would explain more.

However, thinking about it for a moment, the explanation could also be done later, once they entered the shaft.

Smiling lightly, Jason thought about Seron's word for a moment, as he remembered something.

"I need to stop at the Fler's house. There are still things I might need!"

Nodding his head, Seron didn't sound disappointed, and rather than that, he urged Till that they should depart as soon as possible.

Sighing deeply, Till couldn't help but feel like a shuttle replacement, because Seron wanted him to bring them from one spot to another.

Glaring at his disciple, Seron apologized immediately before they walked out of the arena.

Meanwhile, old Drake and the two sovereigns surveilled Jason for the whole time and they didn't notice anything suspicious because they were unable to hear Till's words.

Yet, they were excited after seeing that Jason was able to establish a fortified soul conjunction while being so young which was definitely special and allowed him to reach extreme heights without being forced to have an extremely high mana attitude to be worth their effort to force him into submission.

As such, they wanted to force Jason in signing the Drake family soul contract, only to be forcefully halted, when Till and Seron appeared inside the Infirmary right before they were about to act.

Seeing that the heirs of two big families surrounded Jason, it was impossible for them to act as the two sovereign ranks, suddenly felt something vibrating in their pockets.

Astonished, they took out the emergency messenger crystal they received from the Drake family's headquarters.

Answering the incoming call, the runes on the crystal manifested above them as they heard a pained voice, pleading for help and the words.

"Ice Dragon….through the rift…..wrecks havoc..."
