Dinner was over, and Curran and the others had left, leaving Summer Night alone, still sitting at the table.

She needed to think about something.

Night is approaching, there is no sun in this world, and therefore no morning or sunset, and the pale yellow sky gradually darkens evenly until it completely turns into a deep blue that is almost black.

With the little light still remaining in the sky, she raised her hand and looked at her wrist once more.

The wrist is so white that it is almost transparent, and thin pale cyan blood vessels are faintly visible. On this delicate skin, a few lines of witch characters are neatly arranged.

The bottom line is the confidentiality agreement she and Curran just signed.

She clicked on the agreement again and confirmed the terms:

Clause 8.1 If either of the parties voluntarily discloses the above contents, it shall be deemed to be in voluntary breach of the Agreement, and the voluntary defaulter shall pay liquidated damages in accordance with Clauses 9.1 to 9.5.

Clause 8.2 If either of the parties to the contract divulges the above content due to force majeure, it shall be deemed to be a passive breach of the agreement, and the passive defaulter shall not be required to pay any damages for breach of contract, but the breach will be known to the other party [immediately].

- When the NDA was first formed, there was only one clause in clause 8.

However, after Curran gave an indication, Article 8 had become Articles 8.1 and 8.2.

It is clear that the focus is on Article 8.2.

Wrong theories......

Shareholder attitudes......

Obligation to disclose......

Summer Night felt like she was gradually touching what Curran wanted to hint at herself.

Blood...

On the white wrist, an inch-long opening suddenly opened, and bright red blood flowed out of the wound and trickled down the slender arm.

The wound was horizontal, just across the witch characters that represented the non-disclosure agreement, like a strikethrough.

…… Was it notified this way? Summer Night Thoughts.

She didn't care about stopping the bleeding, clicked on the agreement, and the status of the agreement had indeed changed from "effective" to "the contractor has passively breached the contract".

The contractor is Summer Night, and the contractor is Curran.

This means that Curran has been forced to tell others about the discovery of the beluga whale group.

"Xiu, come and help me stop the bleeding."

Place your wrist flat on the dining table on a summer night.

"Okay meow~"

The black cat, which was hanging out nearby, jumped on the table, leaned its head closer, and licked its tongue over the wound of the summer night, unlike a real cat, Xiu Ji's tongue had no barbs and was cold and smooth to the touch. Emerald green lines appeared on her skin, but then they quickly became lighter, and the erosive force was being repelled by her skin.

"Don't exclude."

Summer night silently recited in my heart. The color of the lines immediately began to recover, and it quickly stabilized again.

With the help of erosive power, the wound quickly stops bleeding. As a reward for stopping the bleeding, Xiu Ji licked the blood on his wrist by the way.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time to eat the owner's blood meow, it's very delicious~" The black cat said meaningfully.

"Even if you say that, I don't want to bleed all the time, it hurts."

Fortunately, witches are oviparous creatures and do not have the trouble of bleeding regularly.

Summer Night said as she put the black cat back on top of her head, activated the broomstick, and flew in the direction of Debussota.

She was ready to go back. Tomorrow morning, the Moby Dick will arrive in port with a beluga whale in tow.

……

By the time Curran returned to "Distant Ship Rental", it was almost dark.

"Chairman Curran."

The voice came from not far away, and Curran turned his head slightly, and saw Seventy-Four with a silver mask standing a few meters away, and there was obviously no one there just now.

"It's almost 8 o'clock, haven't you gotten off work yet?" Curran asked.

"We can even work overnight if necessary." Seventy-four replied.

"Then you are really a good employee, if everyone in my company is as desperate as you, 'Far Ship Rental' may have become 'Bafaria'."

"Okay, Chairman Curran, don't divert from the topic, you know what I'm coming to you for. Please answer my question: Is there anything you should disclose under our covenant that you have not yet disclosed to shareholders? ”

Curran looked at her quietly, and after a while, he said, "According to the terms of disclosure, I only need to complete the disclosure within three working days, and it is not considered a breach of contract." ”

"But there is also a clause that says that when a shareholder asks about it, you have an obligation to answer it immediately and truthfully." Seventy-four said aggressively.

"......" Curran did not respond.

"Answer me, Curran, don't force me to use the contract."

Curran remained as silent as a statue.

Seventy-Four's patience was finally exhausted, and under the silver mask, the syllables of the witch text sounded:

“D-s-c-L-s-r”

Black flames suddenly appeared at Curran's wrists, and in the blink of an eye, they burned the cuffs of the multiple layers of frills to ashes, and they quickly spread, quickly burning the entire sleeve and spreading towards the parts of the body. Curran raised his prosthetic hand and pinched the black flame, quickly extinguishing the flame.

But the power of the pact is still in force.

Starting from the wrist of the right hand, flame-shaped black lines spread across the fair skin, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the arms, crossed the shoulders, and expanded towards the girl's face and body.

This time, there was nothing to stop them, and under the skirt, they quickly encroached on the chest and abdomen and extended from under the skirt along the thighs. The lines that climbed up the neck were already covered with half of the girl's face, making the cute face a little hideous.

Curran felt a familiar pain. This kind of burning pain can be unbearable at first experience, but after more times, it becomes less terrifying.

In intense pain, she laughed:

"Hehehe...... Hahahaha...... Why are you in such a hurry? What are you worried about? What are you afraid of, seven-zero-four? Or rather, what are you VC 7 afraid of? Hahahahaha......ha

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

The black lines finally invaded every inch of the girl's skin, but then, they disappeared, and in their place, dozens of extremely thin black silk threads appeared on the girl's body, each of which would pass through a joint and tie the joint firmly.

The threads stretched very high into the dark blue of the sky, and although they were no longer visible to the naked eye, Curran knew that they all extended to the east, which was the direction of the upper town.

She was no longer able to move, and she couldn't control what she said or didn't speak, or even how she looked. The gray-haired girl in the black dress seemed to have turned into a beautiful puppet, and could only act under the pull of those silk threads.

"Chairman Curran, let's start our routine disclosure now."

"......," the girl nodded mechanically.

The Masked Witch chuckled, she stretched out her hand, pressed it beside her, and a mirror taller than a person appeared out of thin air, and she pushed it open like a door, and a room with only black, white, and gray appeared in front of her.

The facilities in the room are very simple, with only a table and two chairs.

"Please come in, Chairman Curran."

Step by step, the girl walked into the room, followed by the masked witch and closed the mirror.

In the square outside the "Far Boat Rental", the two immediately disappeared without a trace.

In the room, Curran sat in a chair, her mouth open, her tone mechanical and dull, and her usual style of speech was similar to that of two people:

"On December 12, the Company was informed of the relevant information of 'Beluga Dick and Beluga Ecology', which may have a significant impact on the Company's operations, and disclosed the relevant matters as follows in accordance with the terms of the contract 52.1 to 52.11......"
