Bruce didn't stop Alec's ritual after all.

He has lost his father, so he has to keep his mother no matter what.

Three days later, the basement of Wayne's mansion was converted into a prison.

It was where Bruce Wayne's mother, Martha, was imprisoned.

Before she learns how to control herself, she probably won't have a chance to get out of it. Alec knows how dangerous a newborn vampire is, and if Martha is released, her bloodthirsty urge will force her to keep looking for blood food, and soon, the vampires will spread like a plague, and then it won't be long before these vampires turn the DC world upside down.

This is the last thing Alec wants.

He's going to teach Martha to control.

This method is actually not difficult.

Every day, he would put two bowls of blood in the door of the prison, one for animals and one for humans.

Martha chooses human blood without exception, and vampires have a very sensitive sense of smell, and can discern even the slightest difference. But what she didn't know was that the ruthless devil didn't feed her with the blood of outsiders, and every day, the blood that was laid before Martha came from one man, her son, Bruce Wayne.

In the shortest possible time, he wanted to teach Martha to control her bloodthirsty impulses.

But man is not a beast, whips and clubs can only be remembered by man for a while, and only feelings can penetrate deep into the soul.

Alec is a master at playing with feelings.

He knows how to make people miserable and then channel that pain into strength.

This lasted for a week.

Alec felt that it was almost there, and he threw the weakened Bruce Wayne into the cage. He lets Martha make her own choice: should she kill her own son and completely succumb to the vampire's **, or learn to restrain her impulses?

That night, the dungeon was filled with crazy wails and the cries of Martha's breakdown......

The next day, Alec took Bruce Wayne out of the dungeon.

Then he again placed two bowls of blood in front of Martha, one of the blood of Alfred, the old butler, and the other of the blood of animals, which were still animals. But the bowl of blood was not fresh, it was the bowl that Martha had refused to drink seven days ago, he had not put the blood in the refrigerator, and now, the bowl had curdled and stinked, as if it had been scooped out of the gutter.

Martha cried, and she begged Alec to give her fresh blood, but was refused.

After that, Alec brought such a bowl of spoiled blood every day.

After two days of hunger strike, Martha finally took the bowl in crying......

…………

Seven days later, Alec gave Martha a Chained Chain, and released her.

He didn't give control of the bracelet to Bruce Wayne. Bruce was too young, and Martha was his mother, so he probably couldn't control Martha, so he handed over the control of the bracelet to Alfred.

At this point, the conditions of the contract are almost complete.

That night, Alec approached Bruce Wayne to talk to him about his compensation.

The familiar contract was placed in front of Bruce again, but this time, Alfred and Martha Wayne were also present, who read the contract carefully and then took a hard breath.

The basic cost of summoning, five hundred souls.

Resurrection of the dead and the dead, three thousand souls.

For every extra day Alec stays, fifty souls.

……

Alec stayed at Wayne's house for more than half a month, and Bruce Wayne needed to pay for a full 4,500 souls.

Four thousand five hundred souls.

This is an almost impossible number to achieve.

Moreover, the repayment period of the deed is only one year.

A year later, if Alec didn't get 4,500 souls, the contract would have backfired...... It's the rule, and even Alec can't control it. At the same time that Bruce Wayne signed the contract, these conditions were set to death, and if he wanted to break the contract, there was only one way to go. But neither the young Bruce nor the vampire Martha could afford to fight back.

Alfred said with a pale face: "It's ridiculous to save Martha alone, but to kill four thousand five hundred!" ”

Alec shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.

Bruce walked up to Alec and whispered, "What if we don't get enough souls?" ”

Alec replied with a smile, "Bruce, you should know that contracts are binding. Of course, you can break the contract, but if you break it, you must suffer the repercussions of the contract...... Given your strength, I can't think of a second possibility other than death. ”

Martha: "But in just one year, how can we get so many souls?" ”

Bruce seemed to have a plan, and he asked calmly: "Mr. Alec, the original words of the contract are: within one year, the owner of the contract shall pay the soul or the same value...... That is, we can replace the soul with something else? ”

Alec's eyes flashed with approval: "That's right, that's right. ”

Bruce thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder what Mr. thinks of the Wayne Group?" ”

Alec smiled.

He knew what this little devil had in mind, maybe before signing the contract, he had thought about using the Wayne Group to pay off the debt.

Unfortunately, his idea was too simple.

"Bruce, your idea is good, but there are still some deviations."

"The Wayne Group is valuable in Gotham, in the United States in general, and in the world. But I want to remind you of two things, first, I am not human, and second, I am not from this world. The value of money to me is very limited, at least, it is absolutely not as precious as the soul. Bruce, there is a difference between the values of the devil and human beings, and what you have to pay is something valuable to the devil, not something valuable in the eyes of humans. ”

Bruce nodded, "I see." ”

Martha, who was on the side, asked, "Mr. Alec, I don't know what is valuable to you?" ”

Alec replied with a smile: "Actually, many things have value in my eyes, and the difference is only high and low. Take the common things: money, good wine, beautiful people, some high-tech products and how they are made, some rare species, some land, a burst of precious ore, even jewelry and real estate, these are all valuable. ”

"Do you have any advice for us, sir?"

"Absolutely." Alec put the contract away, "It's not once or twice that I've made such a deal, in fact, it's not your family that has encountered this situation, most customers can't give enough soul ......"

"So how did they solve this problem?" Martha asked.

"There are usually three ways."

"The first, and most common, is to pay for mortal treasures - each world has its own treasures, and if you can find them, I will recognize their value. Second, a small number of clients insist on paying with their souls, so I will show them the way, such as a prison for prisoners, such as the lair of a terrorist organization...... It's worth mentioning that this information is not free, and I charge a small fee at my discretion. The third method, and the least used, is to take the assignment with me. ”

"As a spellcaster, I spend most of my time researching spells, and there are a lot of things I can't spare to do. If you are confident enough in your own strength, you can take the task from me as a mercenary, and I will pay you accordingly. In addition, I must warn you that the missions I have issued are dangerous and likely to be carried out in other worlds. If you're brave enough, you can take it as a free heterotopic tour......"
