"We are no slaves." Issac snorted. "You are just a lunatic hoping to get everyone to enter his secret club before ruling the school playground."

"Grandpa, was that an insult or something you personally experienced?" Jason asked in a low tone.

Risa on the other hand couldn't help but chuckle at her husband's words. Issac always managed to make the most serious situations feel like a prank.

"You still haven't changed one bit despite all that." Julian shook his head. "I expected such things from normal mortals but you should know better."

"You still are dead set on defining the lines between what a mortal can and can't do. Let us live our lives the way we want." Issac cracked his knuckles, his expression turning serious.

"Relax, I am not here to fight." Julian raised his hands. "Bring her in!"

One of the men standing behind him immediately ran from his spot, heading towards the forest in the distance.

Issac and Risa's expression tightened since both of them already knew who he was going to bring.

[ He is going to bring Silvia out. ]historical

'Obviously. Maybe it was a good thing that Amon brought us back. I will be able to test whether I can break contracts from such a range.'

[ I know that you can see what contract the other person has signed depending on your relationship with them. You can check how many contracts your legal family members have signed without their permission. ]

'All right.'

Jason patiently waited while keeping Sancus's divinity on standby. He remembered Risa's warning and that was why he didn't use its divine energy immediately to increase the power of his vision ability.

"Issac.." Risa murmured.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. We have experienced this once before." Issac's hand closed around Risa's hand and clasped it tightly.

Jason felt a feeling of anger rising in his chest yet he managed to control himself. Simultaneously, the man returned with a woman walking beside him.

She wore a simple black knee-length skirt and a plain blue shirt. Her hair, a deep shade of gray, were kept open and fell down to her waist.

The moment Jason looked at her eyes, he instantly matched them to be the same as his grandfather. He could easily tell that this woman was a member of his family.

However, no one could have said that she was the king's wife. Her looks were so normal and natural that it was impossible to tell that she was married to Julian.

When Jason's eyes made contact with Silvia, a spark passed between them. Perhaps it was his imagination but Jason was sure that he saw the flicker of a smile on Silvia's face.

"Hello, mother, father. I hope both of you are fine," Silvia greeted them as she came to stand beside Julian. "This must be elder brother's child. Your name is Jason, isn't it?"

Jason found himself nodding in reply as Silvia's gaze turned towards Amber. The red-head gulped nervously as Silvia raised her eyebrows.

"I am afraid I don't know who you are. What is your name?"

"Amber Feuer.." Amber replied.

"Feuer?" Silvia sounded surprised. "Damn, you resemble someone I used to know in the past. Is your father's name, Matt?"

"It is."

"I see. He managed to get his life together to some extent." Silvia sighed. "I guess that is good for him."

"Enough. I didn't bring you here to chit chat with them." Julian interrupted. "I brought you here to put you up for exchange. You both can take her if you give me Amber, Zeke and Wade. You can keep Jason with you only."

Issac and Risa took a deep breath as their minds processed the words. If they traded over the three children, they would be able to get their daughter back.

This meant that they would get one out of their two lost children back, that too from the clutches of one of their enemy.

"Do you think we will do it?" Risa asked in a low tone.

"Honestly, yes. You can get your daughter back and that too without any foul plays from my side. I can't lower myself to that extent to cheat in such an exchange. After all, I would be getting three valuable seeds." Julian shrugged.

Amber was currently staring at Jason with a small amount of terror in her eyes. Flamey had already appeared around her neck and was glaring at Julian's possessed body.

The god wasn't fazed by his glare and simply waited for a response to his deal.

'Its a trick. It has to be a trick. He will definitely use something written in her contract to get her back or do us some harm.'

[ You can check it yourself. Use just a small amount of divine energy in your eyes. ]

Jason followed the system's instructions and activated his vision ability with the divine energy emitted from Sancus's divinity.

The moment he did that, he could see a huge source of red energy coming from Flamey. The same energy was present inside Amber in the form of a small hammer.

When he looked down at his stomach, he could see a purple energy traveling out from Sancus's pen and heading towards his eyes.

[ Mana vision allows you to see mana sources and if you mix a small amount of divine energy with it, you can see a mixture of both. But if you use pure divine energy, you can see the form of other's divinity as well as what contracts they have. ]

Jason's vision immediately shifted to Silvia. He found no sources of divine energy coming from her body neither did he see any divinity inside her.

'How do I see contracts?'

[ Think 'Show active contracts' inside your mind and her currently active contracts should show up above her head. ]

'Show active contracts.'

Jason waited a few seconds for the command to take effect but nothing happened. He looked at Risa and repeated the same words.

Three contracts appeared above her head but Jason quickly dismissed them. He looked at Silvia again and tried the command again.

It didn't work.

"Why? Why isn't it working.." Jason muttered in disbelief.

Risa and Issac looked at his eyes and could see that they were glowing brightly due to the usage of divine energy.

They saw him staring at Silvia and were somehow able to understand that Jason was checking something about Silvia.

"What do you mean by that?" it was Amber who took the initiative to ask the obvious question.

"You.." Jason took a deep breath before continuing. "You are not under a contract, are you?
