6. The CEO's Hidden Button and the Contract Signing
Lu Chen quickly scanned the scene: a shattered automatic door, a terrified night-shift clerk, and a woman standing in the wreckage radiating intense power.
His CEO "crisis management instinct" instantly activated. He calmly bent down and, with the tip of his shoe, quietly pressed a hidden emergency button beneath the counter—this wasn't to call the police, but to notify his private security team to rush in and "clean up the mess" at top speed.
He looked up, replacing his harmless black-rimmed glasses, and offered Yulia a standardized "post-trauma fear" expression.
"A-are you... an angel? You saved me?" Lu Chen's voice trembled slightly, his acting worthy of an Oscar.
Yulia was extremely satisfied with his reaction. She retracted her power, approached him, and said with an unquestionable aristocratic tone:
"You are safe now. But your home is filled with these 'electronic demons,' and you are too weak to survive alone. From this moment, you must accept my lifelong protection."
She retrieved the ancient parchment contract from inside her cloak, written in the old vampire language: "Lifetime Servant Contract: Party A Yulia, Party B Signature."
"Sign this. This is the contract for you to be my lifelong servant, in exchange for permanent safety."
Lu Chen took the parchment, which was covered in incomprehensible ancient runes. He stifled a laugh, pretended to carefully decipher it, and then, with his steel pen—worth millions and engraved with Aethel Group's top-secret insignia—he signed his name beneath Party B:
"Lu Chen."
Yulia nodded, pleased. "Very well. Servant, take me to a place free from sunlight and noisy boxes. From today, I shall protect you."
