At this time, the God of the Contract followed the text written by Jiang Lu and began to read it in a cold tone: "After verification, this..."
"Park Haonan." Jiang Lu reminded.
"Mr. Park Haonan did not breach the contract. It was our system that made a mistake. To express my apology, based on my comprehensive evaluation of Mr. Park Haonan's previous lives, I hereby issue him a certificate of recognition. From today on, he is the only one designated by hell as 'the best man in the world, the number one romantic'."
"I knew it, I knew it!" Mrs. White cheered excitedly.
"System? Error?"
White sat on the edge of the bed. This was the first time he heard such modern words from the mouth of this horrible demon, not to mention the idea of catching the wrong person and sending him back.
He clearly remembered that this damn devil had bewitched him: It doesn't matter whether there is a breach of contract or not. What you want is power and what I want is soul. Even if he doesn't breach the contract, can't you learn to set some text traps to force him to breach the contract?
You're telling me you caught the wrong guy and you're giving me a pennant? Are you kidding?
"Wait, wait a minute, are you sure this is a mistake?" He confirmed hesitantly.
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Lu got anxious, Mrs. White got anxious first: "What do you mean, do you wish he would be arrested?"
White was speechless. In his opinion, his mother was beyond help.
"It was a mistake indeed."
The God of Contracts answered, and then changed the subject:
"And the culprit who caused me to make this mistake is you!"
"Me?" White didn't expect that the melon would fall on himself. "What does this have to do with me?"
"You abused the power I gave you, causing a gap in the connection between Hell and reality. Therefore, I am now taking back your ability to sign agreements on my behalf!"
"Excuse me??"

Chapter 86 Don’t forget your original intention
The largest auction house on the West Coast.
Punk quietly climbed out of the wall and landed smoothly like a nimble wild cat.
He looked at the translucent panel floating in front of him, his heart full of doubts.
"What do you mean the birth of the devil has ended and the mission is over?"
Full of confusion, he looked around, rolled up his collar to cover his face, and walked away quickly.
Gun market.
The short-statured Nutwall left the base under the pretext of going to the convenience store to buy a midnight snack.
Lending center.
After seeing the prompt on the panel, Shui Jing hurriedly took a few photos of the files he had finally obtained. Then, after putting the files back to their original place, he carefully bypassed the security and also disappeared into the night.
Not long after, the three met in the alley at the birth point.
"How is this going?"
Punk asked first.
Shui Jing shook her head: "Not sure."
Nut Wall looked confused: "I'm also confused. What does the birth and death of demons mean? Don't demons always exist?"
"Yeah, if the devil hasn't been born yet, then where does White's ability come from? It doesn't make sense." Punk nodded: "Could it be that the captain did something?"
Nut Wall nodded: "It's possible. The only ones missing now are Jiang Bao and the captain. Aren't they working at White's manor? Maybe they know something."
"Jiang Bao...Alas, Jiang Bao..." Punk sighed, "He never comes to meetings. Do you expect him to do anything?"
Nut Wall knew that Punk had some complaints about Jiang Lu, and although he wanted to reconcile the two, due to their friendship, he couldn't say anything on Jiang Lu's behalf.
Just as he was talking about the man with the sword, he had already arrived.
Nut Wall looked behind him and didn't see Jiang Lu, so he asked, "Captain, where is Jiang Bao?"
"I waited for him for a long time, but he never came out. I couldn't get up to the third floor, so I had no choice but to come here first." The man with the sword replied.
"It's like this again. Never mind." Punk shook his head and said nothing more. Instead, he asked the question that everyone was wondering: "So, Captain, what's going on?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
When this was mentioned, the sword-wielding man was also confused: "I have been keeping an eye on it. White came back alone, which means that none of us had the opportunity to come into contact with the devil."
At this time, Shui Jing suddenly put forward a conjecture:
"I guess it might be related to the mysterious man who appeared today. It just occurred to me that it is possible that the devil intended to walk the earth by incarnating as a human, but something went wrong, causing the advent to fail, so it is said that the devil was not born?"
Punk nodded, "Possibly."
Nut Wall was a little surprised: "Doesn't this mean that I got the strategy for free?"
The man holding the sword had a strange look on his face.
"This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible."
"Why?" Shui Jing thought this was the only explanation: "Demons can only descend to the human world after they have harvested enough souls. There are precedents and records for this."
"I'm not saying this is impossible, I'm saying it's impossible for the mysterious man to be a demon."
"why?"
The sword-bearer sighed: "Because the mysterious man is Jiang Bao, he told me personally, and I haven't had the chance to tell you yet."
Shui Jing was stunned.
"That doesn't make sense." Punk expressed his doubt: "How did he become White's confidant so quickly?"
"Yeah." Nut Wall thought back to the life of a horseman in the past few days and felt bitter: "We have worked carefully for so many days and just gained the trust of the little leader."
"This..." The sword-bearing man seemed a little embarrassed to speak up: "Although he didn't say it explicitly, based on my observation, he seems to be dating White's mother..."
"what?"
Three faces were confused.
"Really...really amazing." Punk seemed to be in awe and also seemed to be saying sarcastically: "How old must White's mother be? Is it okay to be an old woman for the mission?"
Nut Wall felt that Punk's words were a bit too much, but when he thought that Jiang Lu could even attack an old woman, he felt a chill.
The sword-wielding man just silently took out the photos he had secretly taken these days: "White's mother looks like this."
"?"
"Why isn't he?"
Punk is on sour.
Nut Wall looked at the photo and said solemnly: "In order to win the favor of such a noble lady, Jiang Bao must have something extraordinary..."
"But I still don't understand." Punk said, "He's dating his mom, maybe he can win White's favor, but how can he convince those people who don't obey anyone except White? I have asked around, and they are not because of White, but they are completely in awe of that mysterious man from the bottom of their hearts."
The sword-wielding man covered his face: "Jiang Bao taught them how to open an online casino and various criminal techniques..."
Punk was silent.
"Don't go too far." Shui Jing suddenly said: "So since that mysterious man is not a demon at all, wouldn't it be even more strange to have such a result?"
"That's not the case. Maybe there are clues." said the man with the sword.
"How to say?"
The swordsman remembered what he said before parting with Jiang Lu, and said uncertainly: "It's possible, I mean it's possible, Jiang Bao met the devil by directly signing the agreement and then breaking it. It seems that he originally planned to do so, but I stopped him at the time, but it seems that it is very likely that he still did it."
"Not really?" Punk was shocked. "Why would he risk his life for an A-level spirit realm?"
"But this is the only possibility." The sword-bearer looked at him deeply, "and it looks like he succeeded."
"Perhaps this is why he is so far ahead of us?" Shui Jing silently added: "Ahead in every sense of the word."
Punk was speechless for a moment, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt.
The sword-wielding man looked at the panel and said, "Anyway, since the mission is over, let's leave first. Jiang Bao is in the branch. When we meet him later, everything will be clear."
at the same time.
Inside the manor.
Jiang Lu and White stood on the balcony, side by side.
Looking at the bright moon in the deep night sky, White's expression no longer had the confidence of the past. His face was dejected and his eyes were filled with timidity.
“Without the power of the agreement, I feel like I have nothing now.”
He squeezed out these words from between his teeth with great difficulty.
Jiang Lu didn't look at him, but also looked into the distance: "Then you have to work harder in the future."
"Effort? What's the point of my efforts?"
"Of course it makes sense." Jiang Lu smiled and said, "Nothing will go wrong in the short term. No one knows that you no longer have the power of the agreement, so what you need to do now is to adjust your mentality and way of doing things as soon as possible.
Try to make the contract just a basic constraint rather than a weapon to threaten you.
You need to learn to conquer them with your personal charm. When you find that you no longer need an agreement, you will be the real overlord of the West Coast. "
"What should I do?" The flame of hope was rekindled in White's heart.
"I can't explain it to you right away. Let me give you a list of books and you can go buy them and read them yourself."
As he spoke, Jiang Lu walked into the room, took out paper and pen, and started writing in front of him.
White stood by and waited quietly, carefully reading what Jiang Lu wrote.
[30 must-read books for new employees]
"The Biography of Steve Jobs", "The Pyramid Principle", "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", "Advice from Kazuo Inamori to Young People"......
"Besides, you don't have nothing."
Jiang Lu closed the pen cap and said with emotion:
"You still have a mother who loves you and whom you also love!"
