Black Shadow: Gangster X Family
Contract Start (2)

Taps! Taps! Taps!

"Well...Huh...Excuse me...I'm late, '" Chloe stopped her steps on the ground floor, her hands resting on her knees. Adjusting his breathing is boring because of the rush. Felix followed behind him.

(Picture the color of the dress is blue, You find it difficult to find the appropriate visual tone).

All the members of the dorm gathered in the living room looked at Chloe's appearance, They watched for a moment before Devian opened her voice.

"Hm...Is this really the dress you picked Justin?"

"Oh yeah, but I think there's something different, yeah," Justin said, squinting, trying to figure out the difference when Chloe was wearing it.

In contrast to Chloe, the girl looked a little whimper. His stomach was hungry because it had not been filled, and they were all ready to go.

"Ughs...I'm hungry, "Chloe thought unconsciously holding her stomach.

The red net looked at Ian who was eating a burger, Of course, Chloe's hunger was getting worse. He also wanted the burger.

Chloe approached Ian, looking at the burger in the man's hand. "Is the burger delicious?" His question was curious about the sparkling netra like a child.

Realizing that he was being approached, Ian just kept quiet. He turned to look at Chloe, without saying anything the man was thrusting the burger he had just eaten. Still half the rest.

"Forku?" Chloe asked confusedly and was responded to by a nod by Ian. The girl smiled cheerfully and accepted the burger. "Thank you,"

Chloe immediately sat down and ate it voraciously, She didn't care if the fact that the burger was Ian's ex, all Chloe cared about was filling her energy and filling her stomach.

Even Ian also thrust out his remaining half-drink. He knew they were in a hurry, Didn't have time to make a meal for Chloe. So he handed over the rest of his food and drink.

Neil laughed softly looking at Chloe who was eating voraciously, As if the girl had not eaten for 3 days. His eyes then turned to Justin.

"Are we leaving now, I've prepared the car,"

"Yes, Let's Go now," Justin stared at Chloe for a moment. "You can eat in the car,"

"Just a little bit more" Chloe finished her burger and drank the mineral water that Ian had been offering. Hold it up until it runs out before throwing the rest of the trash into the trash can.

After cleaning up all the leftovers, Chloe follows the other members out of the dormitory to their ready-to-use car.

No one commented on the dress Chloe was wearing. Which means they all do not care about the appearance of the girl, Mau as beautiful as anything of course no one is interested, other than because of the mission alone.

****************

During the trip everything was just silent with their respective activities, considering Chloe was still not too close to them. Even he sat at the corner of the car window looking at the outside view.

Don't know where they're going, Chloe's definitely just following. Awkwardly? Of course because no one has started a conversation. After a long journey, they arrived at a place.

Chloe comes out first, followed by Rion behind her.

Blam it!

The girl looked up when she saw a gate with writings that she did not understand stuck there, As far as the eyes could see the girl found a towering temple at the end there. The road to the temple is also filled with stairs along the 2 meters.

"Why do we stop at this temple?" Chloe's whisper next to Rion.

The silver-blossomed man typed something into his cell phone, then showed it to Chloe.

[I don't know either, which I heard from Justin. At the temple, the wedding began]

"Married in the temple?" Chloe muttered looking at the temple before her.

Raizel steps past Chloe and Rion, as Chloe comes to her senses. The other members had already walked up the stairs first. For a moment Rion and Chloe looked at each other before the two followed in the footsteps of the other members.

******************

[In the temple]

A few moments later, they entered the temple. What Chloe saw was a lot of neatly lined seats there, In front of the altar was a middle-aged man standing waiting for their arrival. Unfortunately the place was very quiet, there was no sign of invited guests being.

"Where are the invited guests?" Chloe asked, He slowly stepped closer to the altar.

"Nothing, here the witness is only a priest" Justin said without turning his head, He stopped his steps right in front of the altar. And so was Ezra beside him.

Ah, so marriage is furtive huh. It is better, according to Chloe, because their marriage is only a contract marriage. It doesn't take many people to be witnesses. Her steps halted in front of the altar, Chloe looked up at the beautiful altar.

The other members sit in their respective places, Chloe is confused because only she and Justin are standing at the altar facing the priest.

"Can I sit down?" Chloe's whisper to Justin, and it's directly stared at by that orange-styled man.

"No, you stay here. We do it in turn,"

Chloe's eyes blinked, Obviously the girl looked confused. He said nothing more than following the instructions of the priest.

"Are you Justin Garfield accepting Chloe Watson as your wife, In joy or sorrow?" The pastor looked at Justin.

"I'm ready!" Justin's stern voice made Chloe rather panicked.

The priest's gaze turned to Chloe. "Are you Chloe Watson accepting Justin Garfield as your husband?"

Chloe's heart thumped as the question fell on her, Her feelings jumbled between nervousness, Confusion, and All four of her father's medical expenses flashed through her mind.

"Calm Chloe, for daddy's sake and for family's sake. For your mother and your sisters. Calm down...," Chloe's mind tried to calm itself.

"I'm ready!" Trying to make her tone not sound vibrating, Chloe replied loudly. Although his own feet felt weak when he heard his own answer.

"Please put the ring on the finger of each pair,"

Justin takes the ring he requested from Chloe, the one that Livian said means nothing. Quietly Justin grabbed Chloe's left hand, put the ring there.

Chloe just kept quiet, she couldn't comment on the situation anymore. After pairing the ring, it's Chloe's turn to put the ring on Justin's finger.

"I declare that you are legal to be a married couple!" The thunderous sound of the priest was heard all over the temple. "Now you can kiss your partner,"

As Chloe looked at the horror, Kiss was included in their contract, and could only be done when they got permission.

But here Justin doesn't do it, he just grabs Chloe's hand and kisses the girl's back. After that, the man looked at the priest.

"For the next no kiss, Understand!" His orange netra stared intently.

Instantly the priest gasped in shock and nodded in fear. "Yes, sir...,"

Now it was Ezra's turn to go up the altar after Justin left. He stood next to Chloe, glancing sharply at the girl before looking at the priest.

"Do it fast!" His orders, Of course Ezra did not want to stand for long beside the girl. Hmh! If it wasn't for Justin he wouldn't have wanted to.

The ritual process was the same as before but now only Chloe put the ring on Ezra, and the man immediately passed away after the process was completed, and of course with a gloomy and cynical aura.

The turn of Aiden standing at the altar, the ritual process is the same. It's just that when the part finished pairing the ring, the Reverend suddenly thrust a folding knife at Chloe.

"Please drop a little girl's blood on this glass" Pinta the priest pointed at a glass there. Chloe was surprised to hear that.

"Eh? What's for?"

"In this section there is a slight addition to the ritual" explained the priest.

Chloe was scared, Look at the blood splattered alone has made her nauseous what else dripped her own blood into the glass. Chloe's knife-wielding hand seemed to shake, She didn't want to cut her own hand.

Aiden, who saw Chloe never do it, immediately took over the knife. She grabbed the girl's hand and slashed the small palm of Chloe, The black unraveling girl flinched, The other hand gripped the altar table holding back the pain as Aiden pointed his hand at the glass.

Fresh blood dripped from Chloe's hands, the scent of blood was even faintly smelled in Neil, Rea, Aiden, Dan Livian's sense of smell.

Rea sharpened her red netra, her eyes constantly staring at Chloe's dripping blood. "This aroma...Very fragrant. The rare blood I was looking for, I used to see the owner of rare blood like this but this is only the first time I have smelled this scent of wisdom," Thought Rea silently smiling coldly.

"It's a rare opportunity, I can taste his blood at once. With this I can compare the taste of his blood with the other members. So impatient when it was my turn," Neil smiled widely, His heart pounding and the blood in his body like rustling. Neil had not felt such a pleasant feeling for a long time.

While Livian slightly sniffed the scent that tickled her sense of smell, her drowsiness slightly disappeared as she smelled the scent.

"The aroma is delicious, Justin is not wrong to choose members. But unfortunately he is not edible, in contrast to other humans. If she wasn't a member, I would have been full of eating a rare human like her," Livian thought with a feeling of disappointment in her heart.

Back to Chloe and Aiden. Feeling enough, Aiden kept Chloe's hand away from her glass and immediately drank the blood in the glass. He didn't finish it, finished with the Aiden ritual walking away and now it's Ian's turn.

Chloe held onto her trembling hand, Feeling the loss of a quarter of her blood. Now it's Ian's turn, the ritual process goes on as before.

Chloe finished putting the ring on Ian's finger, and from then on of course Ian realized that Chloe's hand was shaking constantly after her blood was taken. The man bent down a bit and grabbed the girl's hand. Without disgust, he licked the remaining blood on Chloe's hand.

Of course Chloe was shocked by Ian's sudden treatment, After cleansing her blood. Ian put a bandage on Chloe's hand before drinking a small amount of blood in the glass.

He left without saying a word, It was Devian's turn. Then Felix, Raizel, Rion, Neil, Livian, and finally Rea.

The ritual goes the same as Justin did, There are only minor additions to the ritual in parts of Aiden, Ian, Neil, Livian, and Rea.

After the contract marriage ritual is over, they head out of the temple with many questions on Chloe's mind. What makes the girl wonder is why some members of her ritual are a little different from the rituals that Justin did, Some of them drink his blood?

Although still filled with questions, Chloe decided not to think about it first. He just wanted to go back to the dorm and rest there after a tiring day.
