“Don’t listen to him, Wyatt. Nobody in the top 10 universities would dare to touch the man of the Southern Emperor.” Hearing Lorenzo’s ominous remarks, Anna tried comforting me, saying that nobody would dare to harm her man.

“But, I am not your man.” Anna’s words would have sounded comforting if I were her man. But now, all I can hear is her trying to coerce me into becoming her man.

“I don’t think so. You guys may be wrong about this one. The competition and the political waters in the top 10 universities are very vigorous, but that might not be the case for Wyatt. Once the Silver milk powder starts selling, you will become the renowned discoverer of Silver milk powder and the heart of the She Gladiator. Your status changes from nobody to that of a golden snitch. Many powers would be interested in you and try to make you their possession one way or another.” Luna seemed to have a different opinion from her grandfather.

“Would that mean that I am already part of the political struggle in the top 10 universities? How is that any different from what Lorenzo just said” I did not hear any difference comparing what Luna and her grandfather said. They sounded pretty much the same to me. However, Luna’s remarks were more ominous than her grandfather’s remarks.

“My grandfather’s version does not involve the most influential and powerful people of the world trying to capture and nurture you into a gold-laying slave. Just like my grandfather was trying to a few seconds ago.

Disappointing, here I thought you would be more interested in knowing about the heart of the She Gladiator.” According to Luna, as a nobody, I can graduate from the top 10 universities by keeping my head down. But as the renowned discoverer of silver milk powder, the trouble would come finding me. This meant my dreams of a peaceful life were shattered the moment I patented Silver milk powder under my name.

“By ‘She Gladiator,’ are you referring to the embarrassing nickname given to Anna during her time in the university.” This was quite obvious. These girls were several decades old yet partook in such childish wordplay. Calling me the heart of She Gladiator. What are we seventeen? Yes, physically, I am seventeen, but mentally, I am a middle-aged man.

“Whatever, despite her fooling around and her insane man strength. Anna has many suitors who are willing to pursue her despite her loose sleeping around and giving it to anybody above an eight. If I were you, I would watch out for them then the other influences.” Luna seemed to enjoy talking about Anna and her love life.

“Since they are willing to overlook all of Anna’s past lovers, why would they target me?” If Anna’s suitors can accept Anna’s parade of ex-lovers, I think they can overlook one more. Not to mention I do not have such a relationship with Anna yet.

” Wyatt, I thought you were smarter than that unless you are like one of those men that my mother told me about. The kind of man who becomes dense when it involves the romantic interest in his life.

The soul contract between you and Anna? What is it again? Something about my Cousin protecting you, your family, and your friends… Something… Something. If I didn’t know better, I would say that the terms of the soul contract sounded more like a marriage vow.

Having heard what transpired, I know better, but the fact remains that my cousin’s fate is tied to you for the rest of her life unless you are willing to cancel the sole contract between the two of you. Or be responsible for her.

This soul contract is an eyesore not just to the Heatsend Royal family but to Anna’s frantic suitors. You see, unlike the suitors of most of the wealthy ladies, Anna’s suitors are not after her wealth or beauty or power. Instead, they genuinely are infatuated with Anna. And the soul contract between you and Anna should have driven many of them to the point of instantly by now.

Yes, many intelligent ones will not read between the lines and see the soul contract for what it is baggage holding back, Anna. And these are the people you truly need to be worried about. These Suitors are highly competent with a lot of patience. When you let your guard down, who knows anything can happen. One second you are enjoying a magazine inside the toilet, next second, you are a dead man inside a men’s room with the magazine in one hand and Another one on your crotch.

Oh boy, you thought the soul contract would protect you from the trouble that the Silver milk powder would bring. But now, it is the magnet attracting the real trouble your way.” The one thing that made Luna jealous about Anna’s life was the ex-lovers who were willing to sacrifice themselves for her and could not bear to see any harm done to her. Most of Anna’s lovers are incredible men who make any woman a happy wife, but Anna rejected them all because of her commitment issues which stemmed from her divorced parents. Anna’s father, despite his absence in her life he messed her up.

“What are you trying to say? Do you want me to cancel the soul contract between Anna and me? If not for that, I would have already become a slave of your royal family. If your point is for me to cancel the contract between Anna and me, then you can give it a rest as that is not happening.” I don’t know what Luna was trying to achieve from her speech earlier, but all I heard was a warning that I should lift the soul contract between Anna and me before one of her frantic suitors tries to get rid of me to free Anna from the soul contract.
