542: Chapter 542: Copying the Cat Again 542: Chapter 542: Copying the Cat Again “Master, you’ve come.” Zhao Guang reappeared, wearing a different attire.
These people could recognize Zhao Guang instantly because of the contract, but in front of these people, Zhao Guang had never revealed his true face.
It wasn’t for fear of their rebellion, but for fear they would accidentally slip up and say something.
Among these people, many had issues with their minds and were definitely capable of exposing his identity.
Zhao Guang nodded, “Very well, has everyone arrived?”
My army has temporarily taken over Ya Yasu’s territory, but there are many around us who are coveting it, and the situation might be quite difficult to deal with for a while.”
Zhao Guang was not surprised, after all, the original strength of the opponent was much stronger than theirs.
It was not through his own power that Kula Cha got rid of Ya Yasu, but with the help of a superior.
Even having eliminated him, it wouldn’t be easy to completely assimilate and digest that chunk of territory.
Because there were still many other warlords around, or some companies, who wanted to expand their own territories.
Right now, many people were eyeing this place, making their moves.
If they found out that Kula Cha couldn’t stabilize this place upon probing, the following events would likely become more complicated.
Zhao Guang said indifferently, “Just repeat the previous method.
Invite all those people together.
Whether it’s the soft approach or the hard one, make sure to get everyone invited.”
“Rest assured, I will handle it properly,” came the response.
Inviting those people was not difficult; under normal circumstances, Kula Cha wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.
Although he could invite those in charge, if someone died, there would be someone else to take over, who would definitely continue to deal with him.
Furthermore, forcefully inviting them would mean that these people, upon returning, would certainly despise and even resent him.
Without their support, it would be virtually impossible for him to stand firm.
A warlord could not do as they pleased just by relying on their own army; this would only be flexing a short-lived show of force.
To last longer, even if just for a little while, one must have the support of others.
But with a contract, it was different.
Next, without anyone anticipating it, Kula Cha forcefully invited all the major families and forces from across the region.
Those who gathered had very unpleasant expressions, and each was discussing how to deal with Kula Cha afterwards.
They had no choice, since overtly, they were indeed weaker in combat power, and so they could only seek the help of others.
They would bow their heads for now, as it was something they had done before and were very familiar with.
But this time, they didn’t expect Kula Cha to be so forceful.
After inviting them over, he then drugged them.
Anesthetic mixed into the mist was sprayed out, and soon everyone in the hall fainted.
This was for convenience; otherwise, controlling them one by one would be too troublesome.
After finishing all this, Zhao Guang entered the premises.
One by one, he contracted them, turning them into his slaves.
While contracting, Zhao Guang had other thoughts in his mind.
“This is too troublesome; I need to prepare contract scrolls in advance.
If there aren’t enough, I’ll have to prepare more, which is a waste of time.”
An idea to improve the slave contract surfaced in Zhao Guang’s mind.
Because it was not just the issue of the contract being troublesome, Zhao Guang also felt some pressure on himself.
“No wonder I’ve never heard of anyone signing a large number of slave contracts before; it turns out that too many can affect oneself negatively.”
Zhao Guang felt an increasing mental strain as the number of slave contracts added up.
This was the pressure brought on by the contracts; if it reached a certain extent, it could even become a burden, affecting his own advancement.
Therefore, he had to improve the contract; otherwise, what would he do in the future.
After all, he would need more and more talented individuals in the future and could not afford to put all his spiritual power into this.
Even with the contracts he currently had, had it not been for his strong spiritual power, an ordinary person would have been left feeling woozy and unable to concentrate due to the pressure of the contracts alone.
Previously, Zhao Guang hadn’t felt it because the pressure was too insignificant.
But now, as the number of contracts increased and the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, Zhao Guang finally began to feel it.
Well, for now the problem wasn’t significant, he’d think about a solution later.
As he pondered, Zhao Guang had completed contracts with all present.
Whether it was the high command of those major forces, their bodyguards or family members, none could escape.
“Alright, it’s all done.
You’re aware of their condition; it’s up to you guys now.
At the very least, make sure these people all get back to their own homes by tomorrow, without behaving too unusually,” said Zhao Guang.
Kula Cha and others quickly nodded their heads, very familiar with this kind of situation.
After all, they had been through it themselves, so they knew how to recover quickly and lessen the discomfort.
“Also, how are my talents doing now?” Zhao Guang inquired.
“They can now basically control their headache symptoms, but those people have quite a lot of rules, so it might take a few more days to fully regain their motor functions,” Kula Cha quickly said.
It was good that he wasn’t one of those scientific research and management kind of talents who needed to go elsewhere.
Otherwise, the thought of that horrendous suffering was enough to make one shudder.
Zhao Guang nodded lightly, “That’s good.
I’ll leave this place to you then.
Have you prepared the things I asked for?” he asked again.
“They are ready, I’ll take you there,” replied Kula Cha.
Zhao Guang waved his hand, “No need, the issues here are more urgent.
Just find someone to take me there.”
Kula Cha promptly brought someone over, who was also one of Zhao Guang’s contracted slaves.
Although he did not know what his master intended to do with such secrecy and strangeness, it gave Kula Cha countless bizarre thoughts.
It seemed better to see as little as possible.
Besides, the combat power Zhao Guang had shown during the fight was shockingly impressive.
Kula Cha had not expected his own master’s personal strength to be so formidable.
At first, he had thought that he was just getting by using some mysterious methods and perhaps he could find a way to break free.
Now, Kula Cha had abandoned such thoughts.
After all, facing someone like that, even hiding in his army, would not be sufficient to escape death.
The ability to become invisible, if used, would make killing him even easier.
Following this battle, Kula Cha’s reverence for Zhao Guang grew ever deeper, and he carried out all the tasks without any compromise.
