The Heavenly Guardian Book stands as a mythical tome that documents binding agreements.
As the mustached man had explained, breaking this pact would put one's very soul at risk.
The mustached man set the Heavenly Guardian Book before us, wearing an obsequious grin.
"Ms. Zackary, I worry that I might not honor my commitment, so I've specially brought the Heavenly Guardian Book for your peace of mind," the mustached man said with a smile.
Though he spoke these words, everyone understood the mustached man was actually protecting me.
If I truly failed, I'd face death anyway, making the Heavenly Guardian Book unnecessary.
Ms. Zackary's expression darkened, and she shot the mustached man a venomous look, as though she wanted to devour him alive.
"I don't need to sign any Heavenly Guardian Book," Ms. Zackary said icily.
"I represent the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and I won't break my word."
