"Shinka is not a tool or something that you can label as the hope of your clan without considering her as an individual. That is why you were never able to truly be close with her and help her reach her full potential. While looking at everything from above, it is hard to understand and relate," stated Adam directly.

Adam\'s brave nature impressed and amused Shinka\'s uncle, however, it also worried him since such people were always a nuisance.

"You still haven\'t answered my questions. What exactly do you want from Shinka and what was the Soul Contract you formed with her?"

"It is simple, I declared myself as her ally and swore to assist her and clan if I am able to as long as she was the same kind and trustworthy person that she was. While she also swore to be my ally and assist me and my goals if I need it as long as I am the same person that I was at that time."

"As for what I want from her, to be honest, nothing. So far, it has been me that has helped her and I am trying to form a strong connection with someone who will become a powerful ally, and I can provide just as much as she can,"

Adam spoke clearly and confidently, not submitting to Shinka\'s uncle, which shocked him greatly.

It was easy for him to tell if Adam was lying, and it was clear that he wasn\'t.

The terms of their Soul Contract were quite vague, however, they didn\'t seem too bad.

While Soul Contracts that were willingly formed by other parties were almost impossible to break without harming the souls of the two people involved, even with the power that he had.

"You are a funny and interesting person, but you are in way over your head. For now, I will let you live since you have helped Shinka and haven\'t done anything to deserve death, but do not expect any help from me and I will make sure that I keep her away from you,"

After saying that, Adam felt himself be grabbed once again, and they suddenly appeared beside Shinka once again.

She had been worriedly pacing up and down, waiting for them to return and knew that her uncle was very strict, so was very unlikely to let Adam live.

To her surprise, Adam seemed completely unharmed, and fine as he returned.

"I will be returning to the underworld and I shouldn\'t have come in the first place. I will give you two a minute, but Shinka, you need to return quickly," he said before departing.

The truth was, Adam\'s character and attitude had impressed him, while since he was the one that was helping Shinka progress, for the time being, he was planning on letting Adam roam freely.

"See ya old bull," said Adam just as he was about to leave.

He turned back and glared at Adam, knowing that bulls were animals that some mortal humans would consume that had horns similar to their own.

Also, being called old annoyed him as with his power, he was going to live for tens of thousands of years unless he was killed prematurely.

While even if he was killed, it was likely that the underworld would find a way to recover him as he was a key figure in the underworld as well as an elder in the Horned Death God Clan.

Adam smiled at him and flicked him off as he went into the portal back into the underworld.

"Good riddance, that uncle of yours really is one scary guy," 

Shinka was in shock.

Her uncle was known for being a frightening individual that had a short temper, and yet the uptight and strict person that she knew was being so lenient with Adam.

"What exactly did he ask you? You were gone for less than a minute,"

After he told her exactly what they said to each other, she was confused.

"To be honest, your uncle is not a bad guy. Despite how he seems outwardly, he is a big baby that acts scary, but is merely trying to protect and help you get stronger. If he is willing to come to a mortal realm and talk to and allow a mere mortal soul to roam freely for you, then he truly does care about you more than anything else,"

"Yes, he is great and has been there for me more than my father who is too busy,"

They spoke casually for a short while, before Shinka realised how much time had passed and needed to return, knowing that her uncle would scold her.

"I\'m off, I need to go and train and master the power I was able to unlock from my horns," she said as she prepared to leave.

Adam bid her farewell and was excited about their next encounter.

She returned to the underworld and asked her uncle to excuse her from her duties for an entire year, which in the underworld would count as ten years.

To her surprise, he was more than willing to do so and said she could take as much time as she needed, knowing that she was planning on using it to train.

"Uncle, why did you spare him? There are many things you could have done such as place a Soul Mark on him to be able to track and locate him," she asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

"The truth is, he impressed me and helped you progress, so I didn\'t want to harm him for doing so. However, he also has a frightening presence around him. He is a mere ant, but those eyes and something about him makes me feel like he is special, and since he has a Soul Contract with you and has sworn to help our clan if we need it, it would be best not to do anything to him. While he also reminds me of myself when I was younger,"

His answer surprised Shinka, but she couldn\'t help but laugh.
