Lucie looked back and saw Charlus go back to sleeping on the couch. But Lucie was still confused. How did Charlus know her name when even she did not know. She wanted to go and wake him up to ask him but Denise came near her and pulled her away.

”Aren't you going to continue playing with me?” Denise asked Lucie. Lucie reluctantly left with Denise.

Charlus woke up early in the morning. He looked around and saw everything was as he remembered it. The only thing fresh on his mind was what he was supposed to do for the day - make Lucie guide him to wherever her brother was being held up and finish his business there..

While Charlus was enjoying his stay at Hollywood and it was practically a vacation to him, he had stuff to do. While he was goofing off, his A level difficulty quest wouldn't solve itself. Charlus needed to get stronger immediately.

Charlus went to the kitchen and made himself an omelette. He found a lot of eggs so he made another breakfast. This wasn't for himself. Once the breakfast was ready, he went to Lucie's and woke Lucie up.

Lucie woke up and was surprised to see Charlus in front of her. She looked at the clock and saw that the time was 5 AM.

”It's just 5 AM. Go Away.” She pushed Charlus away with little success.

”Today is the last day I am going to be here. I am planning on going back to Whitney High after today, whether we save your brother or not. So you could sleep the day, OR get your ass up and get ready. Your breakfast is ready but you will be having it on the way.” Charlus rushed Lucie.

By the Lucie was ready and had finished her breakfast it was 5:30 AM. Charlus had finished writing Denise a note expressing his gratitude and apologizing for his hurried departure.

Charlus then walked with Lucie outside to the street.

”This is going to take forever. How can we go anywhere on foot?” Lucie complained to Charlus.

”I wasn't planning on going on foot.” Charlus smiled and took out an object from his inventory.

[Soul Contract]

[One human will be bounded to you and will obey your orders]

Charlus handed it to Lucie and spoke. ”Accept the offer. Take it or leave it.”

Lucie looked at it with disbelief. ”What the fuck is this?! How are you expecting me to say yes to this?! Is this a joke?!”

Charlus sighed. ”What you are going to witness is a very valuable secret and soI cannot take any risks. I will make a deal with you. I will save your brother and let you be free. You just have to use the book I gave you to become powerful. You can also continue using the apartment. I'll give you an official lease so you won't have any complications. But all you have to do is accept this contract. My only demands are that you will never leak information about me and you will help me when I truly need your help.”
