The Elton family.
Everything Chen Yu had done was aimed at being able to make contact with the core personnel of the Elton family. This trip to the Tatu Kingdom was crucial because he needed to evacuate members of the Elton family from the Tatu Kingdom.
This was a promise he had made to Fu Hua Elton and Roni Elton.
If Chen Yu could accomplish this, he was certain that the Elton family would absolutely stand by his side in the future.
He was a newcomer to the underground world, and although his development was at a speed that ordinary people couldn't comprehend, he was still a novice in the eyes of the underground world, possessing no foundation whatsoever. The Elton family, as the foremost commercial clan of the Tatu Kingdom, would resolve many of Chen Yu's future development issues if he could gain their wholehearted support.
Holding the tiger tally had already determined the path he would take in the future.
Chen Yu needed his own strength.
On his way to the Tatu Kingdom, Chen Yu had harbored some concerns about how to contact members of the Elton family. The appearance of this son of the chief financial officer was perfectly timed; if utilized properly, it might yield unexpected gains.
"I can, I can!!!"
The young master, being stepped on, shouted out.
Wonderful.
The moment he heard Chen Yu's request, his only thought was that he was going to live.
Although he had made grand promises to Chen Yu, the influence of his father was not as great as he had imagined. Or rather, while his father could be considered all-powerful to ordinary people, it was not so unattainable for those who were equipment merchants.
He was afraid that Chen Yu would ask for something he couldn't do.
But he never expected—
What he needed was for someone from the Elton family to kneel before him.
It was too simple.
This was simply too easy.
His father was the chief financial officer of the Tatu Kingdom, and the Elton family had to defer to his father. Moreover, the relationship between the royal family and the Elton family had been ambiguous recently. He had asked what had happened, but his father had not told him. Even so, he could sense that something was amiss.
The Elton family seemed to no longer be favorites of the royal family.
As long as he leveraged his father's power to pressure them slightly, making them kneel would be very simple.
"Lord Equipment Merchant, I can do this," the young master shouted with all his might, raising his head. "Can you ask her to release me a little? Please rest assured, I absolutely will not run. I really can..."
"Run? Can you escape?"
Before the young master could finish speaking, Nuo Yi sneered and retorted.
"With your abilities, you think you can run under my nose?"
"No, no, no, I didn't think of running." The young master said with a fawning smile. "Look, since you've said so, how could I possibly run? Lord Equipment Merchant, what do you think? I will do things for you wholeheartedly."
"Heh, I don't quite believe you."
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. The young master, in his fear, wanted to fight for a glimmer of hope. He saw Chen Yu glance at the demon beside him.
"Do you demon race have any secret methods for controlling souls?" Chen Yu whispered with a smile, even winking at the little demon in the process. "The kind that can directly obliterate the soul if we betray them."
Having gone through life and death together for so long, the little demon knew exactly what Chen Yu meant.
He actually just wanted to scare this kid a little.
For someone as cowardly and afraid of death as this, a simple spell could bind him tightly, preventing him from harboring any rebellious thoughts.
Such petty tricks were child's play for the little demon.
It's just that...
"Don't you know how?" The little demon shrugged lightly. Chen Yu, in his confusion, thought the little demon hadn't understood his intention, but in the next second, he remembered the secret demon arts he had learned in the past.
The Whisper of the Demon.
Instantly, Chen Yu made up his mind and deliberately said in a deep voice,
"Will this work?"
"Why wouldn't it?" Knowing Chen Yu's thoughts, the little demon smiled and agreed. "Relatively speaking, yours is gentler. If I were to act, he might become a puppet directly. This kid looks quite simple-minded, and you promised to spare his life if he helps you."
"Mine has less restriction."
Chen Yu pretended to hesitate and mumbled softly, frowning.
"If he..."
"As long as he behaves and doesn't resist, it'll be fine. If he resists, you'll sense it too, and then you can just obliterate his soul, so what's the difference?" the little demon comforted.
"I absolutely will not!"
The young master patted his chest, which thudded loudly.
"Sir, please rest assured, I am a person with no great ambitions and value my life greatly. You can bind me as much as you want. As long as you promise not to take my life, I will definitely work for you wholeheartedly and satisfy you. Then you can lift the curse." The young master looked at Chen Yu with a fawning smile, full of anticipation. "What do you think, sir? Let's be friends. Of course, if you think I'm not qualified to be your friend, then consider me, Liya, to have overreached myself by knowing such an important figure as you."
"Liya, is that your name?"
"Yes!"
"Since you are so sincere, I shall grant your wish." Chen Yu walked slowly to Liya's ear and whispered, "I am your father."
"Huh?"
"I am your father."
Chen Yu whispered again.
Liya's eyes were filled with confusion, but thinking that his life depended on it,
"Yes, you are my father!"
[Ding—]
[Enslavement successful]
As the notification appeared, Chen Yu saw Liya's name added to his slave list. What he found hard to believe was that his loyalty value was the highest, 200 points. He had truly not lied.
He...
Truly had no intention of resisting.
Even if he had the slightest thought of resistance, his loyalty would not have reached the maximum of 200.
"Was it successful?" Liya patted his head. "I think something entered my soul just now. Sir, please rest assured, I will absolutely not resist you. I will await your release of my bondage."
Chen Yu remained silent for a long time.
To be honest, Liya's loyalty had somewhat stunned him.
Was this reasonable?
Even Kuka and the others had reached 200 points through Chen Yu's moral education.
Liya, on the other hand, was completely natural.
"Nuo Yi, release him."
Looking at the loyalty value of 200, Chen Yu shook his head in disbelief and gestured to Nuo Yi.
"Oh, ho ho." Liya, who had been stepped on for over ten minutes, finally stood up again. Enjoying the long-lost pleasure of freedom, he stretched lazily and then quickly scurried to Chen Yu's side. "Sir, shall I go and contact the Elton family now?"
This, was this the charm of 200 loyalty?
His eyes were like those of a pure sycophant.
Chen Yu let out a long sigh and then nodded slightly.
"Contact them."
