CHAPTER 206: 206. ANOTHER CONTRACTEE

It didn’t take long for Jake to write down the clauses of a contract of servitude. It was the same contract that Jake first offered to Minerva, except that it was limited to 10 years and not a lifetime.

"Sign it." Jake passed the quill to Pristina after doing his part.

"This..." The Pirate woman had not expected him to be so meticulous. As she read the terms of the contract, her face couldn’t help but turn ugly.

This was even worse than slavery. After all, at least a slave had a chance to escape if they could break their collar.

However, once someone signed this contract, there was no breaking it unless the signers had significantly uneven strength.

Also, there were no loopholes on the contract. Holding the pen, Pristina’s frown deepened. Seeing her impatience, Jake gestured at Fiona who slapped the girl she was holding.

"Aah!" Some blood leaked from Mina’s lips as she pitifully cried.

Pristina stared daggers at the homunculus. However, she ultimately sighed. Ten years of being a demon’s servant to get her sister back. It wasn’t that bad... She placed the quill’s tip on the signing area.

’Finally.’ Jake gleefully watched this without letting his joy show on his face. Obviously, he was playing with this pirate woman’s emotions.

Once she finished signing the contract, it immediately bound them together as master and servant. Much of Hell’s power formed chains on Pristina’s soul. As for Jake, he only got a unique mark.

[Ding! You have committed a prideful sin. You gain 1043 Evil Points!]

Now, if this pirate tried rebelling or even thought of breaking the contract within its duration, she would feel immense pain.

Once the contract was put in place, Jake told Fiona to release the girl. Mina whimpered and vehemently looked at the homunculus, but she didn’t dare to meet eyes with the demon.

Once the two sisters were reunited, Jake assessed the situation on the ships. By now, the Horizon Belle was pretty much conquered.

The captain and the rest of the officers were restrained and being interrogated. As for the passengers, they were stripped of their belongings and quarantined on the lowest deck.

The rest of the crew, such as the carpenter, riggers, and the medic were kept alive after they surrendered.

Only the guards were putting up a resistance at the moment. Even if the 3rd Circlers who fought Fiona didn’t recover in time, these guards would still get exhausted by the sheer number of 1st and 2nd Circle Pirates. However, Jake didn’t feel like losing this manpower.

"Tell your girls to stand down," He said calmly and observed the fight happening down below. "The ship’s yours, I just need to get to Basburg as soon as possible."

Pristina nodded hearing that and descended into the schooner’s weather deck which was in a state of chaos.

"Alright, they’ve surrendered. The ship is ours!" She yelled in a commanding manner. "Put up the flag."

Collective cheers and clanging of weapons rang all over the schooner. Meanwhile, Jake also told the corrupted guards to stand down and cooperate with the pirates.

By now, it was nearly the evening and the checkpoint zone was near. The storm was also clearing away and one could see the run’s rays peeking through the cloud.

Caressing Fiona’s round peaches, Jake looked at the western horizon and saw the faint outline of an island.

The situation on the schooner had stabilised by the time the sun set. The storm was also fully gone, leaving a clear cloudless sky behind.

At this moment, Jake was on the poop deck of the pirate galleon whose name was the Maiden’s Wrath.

Scrolling through the system shop, he bought the two high-tier chaotic mana crystals that were available. Putting them in the sealing case, he counted eight of them now.

"I need one more..." Jake muttered and went to find Pristina. Surprisingly, this pirate captain had two of such mana crystals with her.

Once this matter was settled, he felt relieved. Now, he only needed some innocent souls and the dragon materials to initiate the ritual.

Unfortunately, despite the vast amount of treasures the Dark Cupids had looted, they still didn’t have such precious materials. In any case, he had to visit that Marquis.

With the rest of the Evil Points, Jake bought some supplies and also 50 stat points, increasing his Will up to 457 and Intelligence up to 459.

[Evil Points: 0]

’I’m poor again...’ Jake sighed. ’It would be great if I can max out three attributes by the time I do the ritual. Then I can simultaneously advance to the 5th Circle while awakening my bloodline!’

Glancing at the galleon full of young, female pirates, he couldn’t help but lick his lips. A great fun was definitely to be had here. But he needed to rest for some time. All that sex and battle earlier had drained him.

Jake returned to a lavish cabin reserved only for the captain and had Fiona massage him with her boobies while he crashed out on the bed.

About an hour later, the ships finally reached Den Island, the checkpoint. By now, it was already the night.

Winter made it cold for ordinary people to operate without clothes, but these half-naked pirate girls were full of energy.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

"Don’t mess with the fookin’ anchor!"

"You three up there, stow the lines proper or I’ll make you fish bait!" The bosun barked orders.

"Hey Katty, go check on that other ship!"

"Bloody slowpunks, they’re still mooring?"

The deck was chaotic. The supply crew were unloading whatever they’d looted today.

Some lazy scoundrels had already invaded the town’s only tavern. Some others had sneaked into gambling dens.

About half the crew was still on the ship, waiting for the captain to come back from the schooner.

Nearby dock workers were not happy to see these pirates, but they could do nothing but turn a blind eye.

After all, everyone knew this harbor was frequented by such sea thieves. Even the mayor was afraid of them.

At this moment, two shadows suddenly appeared on the main deck.

"Hmm, I guess we’re going to spend the night here." Jake looked around the dimly lit harbor.

The smell of salt, tar, and fish invaded his nose. A cool sea breeze brought shouts, laughter and sea shanties to his ears and flapped his cloak.

Suddenly, a lamp appeared on the shore ahead and Pristina’s pretty face could be seen. She was accompanied by the upper-ranking crew members.

"Quick, you lot!" Pristina shouted. "We have to leave early before the sun rises, so go get your fill!"

Hearing that, the female pirates all over the ship started leaving and headed toward the small Landen Town.

Dozens of these ravenous chicks immediately entered the tavern nearby while laughing like sirens.

However, there were still eight pirates remaining onboard to guard the ship. Even though this was a safe dock, they still had to be wary of the ship being stolen or running offshore. Afterall, this was their home, their lifeblood.

At this moment, Fiona asked, "Daddy, are we not going to the town?"

"In a while, I’ve got something to do here." Jake replied.

"If you want to explore, just go," he added, smacking her jiggly ass. "But don’t go too far."

"Mhm~" Fiona mewled, tightly grabbing the deck’s railings. After she flew to the island, Jake turned around wearing a naughty expression.

’Meanwhile, let me arrow some of these dark cupids...’
