ernal office politics.
However, that did not mean she would allow Jin to make a wrong business decision to save it.

”Unfortunately, I do owe him an obligation to save the studio, and that is why I also need your help. ” Jin became extremely shameless when asking for Claire ’s help.

”Why should I? I have enough on my plate as is.
My only helping you are limited to things connected to Grandma Yuan.
This does not extend to helping you solve the problems of your friends. ” Claire replied until Jin dangled his trump card in front of her.


”In return, I can let you learn more about the System.
Perhaps it can enhance your skills and traits too. ” Jin said out loud, and Claire was dumbfounded.
How could he offer something like that so casually to an outsider?

”Watch your words.
I have no idea what you are talking about. ” Claire pretended not to hear it until Jin had clarified the white elephant in the room.

”He is already under the influence of the System, and to be honest, he isn ’t a friend.
More of a colleague. ” Jin did not say much, especially when ’controlling ’ isn ’t the best of words to convince someone to join them.

”What? But judging from the conversation we had, he seemed to be in a different profession from you.
Movie directing? Some animation artist? ” Claire was getting frustrated that someone that simple was able to be exposed to the System.
Why not her?

”I am a Manga Artist, and I actually hailed from another world.
You know like those transmigration fantasies? ” Rei decided to speak the truth out and instead, incurred the opposite effect.
Claire could not make any sense from this.
Was this just some sort of out of season April Fool ’s joke or was this after all an elaborate plot to get her to join Jin?


”Look.
Things are really that simple.
He ’s truly from another world and simply a typical engineer from his original world.
Not some magic wielding super crazy powerful cultivator or that sort. ”

”…
Fine.
Show me his creations, and I ’ll believe you. ” Claire folded her arms, wanting some proof.
”You claimed that you owe him an obligation, which indicates that he must have already created something for you in return. ” Claire ’s demand made Jin slightly cautious.

”You see, if we show you his works, it will expose even more things about this particular System I have.
Until you give me your word and sign a temporary contract, I am not allowed to give you any more information. ” Jin tried to explain kindly as he had vastly underestimated Claire ’s reaction.

The secretary sighed as she picked up the just materialised temporary contract and read the terms briefly.
She quickly realised that there were many underlying meanings to the contract ’s term.

”I see this contract has been vetted by a well versed lawyer.
There ’s a lot of double meanings in the terms despite its outward simplicity. ” Even if that was the case, she was innately and insanely curious about this particular System that Jin was hiding.

Grandma Yuan had always kept a mysterious façade whenever this topic was breached, and it always made Claire feel left out when Yuan and Jin talked about it.
She desired to know what made the System so special that it could have enabled a boy with seemingly normal qualifications to become so outstanding in a mere matter of months.

”Fine, I will sign but only on the condition that you limit this to today.
If you presumably can really brainwash me, then I will accept the specified consequences. ” Claire demanded, so Jin overwrote the time limit on the contract limiting it to midnight of January 1st.
Upon signing, Claire felt that something entered past her entire body as if something took a long look into her soul.
