Chapter 2519 Hansel, unable to formulate a response to Jackie’s question, stiffened as his gaze flitted aroundeverywhere.
He mulled over the situation for a good while before he finally said, “I’m sorry, but I’ve been sworn tosecrecy on this matter, and I’ve even signed a soul contract. If I talked about it, my soul would bepunished.”
Jackie raised an eyebrow, not saying anything.
Rudy anxiously said, “You just said you’d tell us everything, and now you’re saying you’ve signed a soulcontract? How could we know what kind of soul contract it is? Don’t try to deter us like this!”
Hansel hurriedly shook his head. “I’m not lying! I did sign a soul contract, I promise. It’s the kind that tiesitself to heaven and earth. If I say anything, I probably won’t be able to survive for a minute before mysoul explodes!”
Hansel’s words made it incredibly difficult for them to persist, but at the same time, Rudy and Graysondid not think Hansel was speaking the truth.

nodded. “I don’t know if this matter would actually endanger the alliance. After all, the alliance has beenin Middle Province for who knows how many years. They have very deep roots.
“Small matters wouldn’t be able to threaten them, but it’s true that they’ve had quite a handful ofproblems. That’s all I can tell you.”
Jackie nodded, rather satisfied with the answer. Knowing that, he would need to be more careful whendoing a lot of things.
After they parted with Hansel, the three of them made their way to the airborne vessel. They showedtheir sixth-grade alchemist badges to the guard before declaring their reason for being there and whothey were. The guard brought Jackie and the others to see Elder Simon.
Elder Simon was the head elder of the branch. When he heard about what happened to Jackie and theothers, he hurriedly met them.
There were a total of five people in the spacious hall. Elder Simon sat in the main seat, while thesteward, Xander, stood next to him. sitting in front were Jackie and the others.
Jackie and the others had been standing, but the elder had allowed them to sit on the account of theirperilous journey.
Before they arrived, Jackie had already discussed with Rudy and Grayson not to reveal their battle withthe one-eyed frost wolf and the three from the Seven Absolutes Pavilion. They could only say that theysafely arrived in the Seven Absolutes Pavilion’s territory after the vessel crashed.
That way, Jackie could hide his martial talent and save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
