Capítulo 146: The Ghostly Pact

Julius regarded Beatrix with a perplexed expression. No one had ever addressed him in such a manner, and it felt distinctly odd.

"We came to accept your offer," Adam said, smiling innocently.

Echoing his words, the sound of Beatrix's hand meeting the desk reverberated through the room as she slapped it in excitement. Her eyes sparkled with satisfaction, and her lips curved into an enchanting smile. "I'm glad you chose me! I'm sure we can do so much together!" her melodious voice echoed in the empty room.

"But... I have a condition." Adam said, making her frown. "I need some rare element-neutral materials. If you can get hold of a set, I'll help you become an adept in less than five years."

Beatrix gazed at the ghost in shock, her eyes wide, the monocle almost falling from her nose and her mouth open. She wondered how he could be so sure he could pull it off.
