Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Contracting the Undying Bone Equals Bringing Honor to the Family

Stella Gibson said eight minutes, and it really was eight minutes.

When she arrived, Scarlett Jennings was dividing ingots among a few ghost children, as their "hardship fee" for this trip.

Seeing Stella sprinting like a hundred-meter dash from the end of the street, Scarlett waved her hand to dismiss the ghost children.

Without the ghostly restraint, Greta stood by watching, showing no intention to run.

After all, he had already come to an agreement with Scarlett Jennings.

As for why he trusted Scarlett Jennings so much, besides witnessing her Fire Thunder that day, it also had to do with the man beside her.

The man named Samuel Chalmers gave him a feeling of... wanting to be close.

Greta wasn’t sure if this was the right way to describe it.

But when that man looked at him, Greta felt an unprecedented sense of stability.

When Stella came over and saw that tall man standing obediently and quietly, she was a bit incredulous.

Although she had heard Scarlett Jennings’ description of the Undying Bone on the way, the man before her looked no different from an ordinary person, quite unlike the Undying Bone she saw in Lloyd Village.

"Do you, do you remember me? You even chased me before."

Feeling nervous, it didn’t stop Stella from boldly stepping up to chat.

Greta only glanced at her, then expressionlessly moved his gaze away.

When Stella saw that he was really as Scarlett claimed, "like a person," she relaxed even more.

"Do you really not remember? In Lloyd Village, when you were chasing me, a Living Corpse suddenly lunged at me, and you smacked it away with one slap!

Technically, we’re kind of acquaintances."

She said with a cheerful smile, now completely at ease, she tried to be friendly with him, pointing at the little one standing by Greta, and asked,

"The little girl is so cute, is she your daughter? Can I touch her?"

Greta: ...

Little Olivia Xalvadora: ...

This sister is quite self-assured.

Greta listened for a while, only catching the last sentence, and instinctively looked at Olivia by his feet, raising his hand protectively.

"No, touch."

"Whoa! You can talk!" Stella didn’t mind being rejected at all, if anything, she was delighted, turning to Scarlett Jennings with excitement,

"Scarlett! He can talk! He can chat with me in the future!"

Greta: ...

Samuel Chalmers looked at Scarlett Jennings, raising an eyebrow slightly; though he said nothing, his meaning was clear.

[Are you sure you want her to make a contract with the Undying Bone?]

He thought the Undying Bone might be tempted to run away from home.

Scarlett Jennings: ...

The child was just too excited, it would ease with time.

No matter what, forming a contract wasn’t something that could be done casually.

Because Greta was cooperative, Scarlett Jennings simply decided to take him and Olivia back to where they were currently staying.

Samuel Chalmers didn’t like staying in hotels, so for the past two days, they had been staying in a garden villa in Peaceful City, with good privacy, so setting up a formation here wouldn’t attract too much attention.

After preparing some food for Olivia and giving the pair clean clothes, while they tidied up, Stella discussed business with Scarlett Jennings. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"The typical Ghost Contract I know can only bind existences below a Ghost King, but the Undying Bone’s strength is greater than a Ghost King’s, and it’s not really a ghost, so I was thinking of perhaps adding your family’s Corpse Control Technique to the foundation of the Ghost Contract."

She had previously witnessed Stella’s Corpse Control Technique in Lloyd Village.

When considering different plans for the Undying Bone, Scarlett Jennings’ first thought for a contract partner was Stella.

She could also try to contract the Undying Bone herself, but as Samuel Chalmers worried, it would inevitably require her to use her Spiritual Power to balance the stability between her and the Undying Bone.
