In the end, Seo Joo-Heon was able to 'pass' the trial by answering 'yes' to all the questions. 'I knew plot armour was real,' thought Dokja with sparkles in his eyes.
"It seems hyung has passed the trial, so I win!" Dokja said happily.
<He was cheating!> Set refused to acknowledge Joo-Heon's pass.
"But the deal was that 'if he passes', not 'if he passes fairly'. I still win," Dokja twisted the words.
<You!- Where did you learn this?! Did that human b*stard teach you?!> Set started raging.
<Will you at least let us tell the others that you have been spotted at least? They are worried about you> said Osiris.
"....ok," Dokaj agreed.
--------------------------------------------------------
"Now I can get some fresh air," smiled Joo-Heon.
"Hey you, I didn't recognise such skill. I was too rude to you before, I am sorry," said chairman Kwon. "I properly propose to you, would you like to work with me?"
"Hyung, are you getting married?" Dokja asked.
'This is a little boring. Since I can say things without much consequence here unlike in my world, maybe I can have some fun,' thought Dokja.
"What?! I'm not getting married!" said Joo-Heon. "What made you think that?"
"Well he said that he 'propose to you'. The relics 'Ong-Nyeo' and 'Byeon-Kang-Soe' said to me that if someone proposes to you that means they want to marry you," answered Dokja.
'What the hell have those relics been teaching this kid?' wondered Seo Joo-Heon.
"The 'propose' he mentioned is a different kind of 'propose'. We're not getting married," sighed Joo-Heon.
"Oh," Dokja acted as if he didn't know before.
"So, do accept my offer?" spoke chairman Kwon.
"Didn't you try to kill me and forcefully take Salvation from me before?" asked Joo-Heon.
"Tha-That was before when we didn't know each other and I just thought that you were forcing the relic of Salvation to work for you with your domination, so I was just trying to help him! Anyways, the relics will change the world and in a changed world, people like you have the most potential. As the chairman of TKBM, I promise to support you with all I can. You must swim in bigger oceans. I want to enhance your potential and skill. All you have to do is sign the contract and hand over the Relic of Salvation to me and I won't ask anything in return after that. Work for me," chairman Kwon tried to persuade Joo-Heon.
A dark expression appeared on Seo Joo-Heon's face.
"You dare say work 'for' you when you want to work 'with' me? Doesn't that line show your evil thoughts? Sure you will invest in me, but you'll also make me spit out as much as you invest. Then you could throw me away like I mean nothing to you whenever you want. You even want me to hand over Salvation, my most treasured relic to you. All you want to do is use me, but you say you want to work with me? You would make a dog laugh," Joo-Heon pointed his dagger at chairman Kwon.
"Hahahaha you... I'm just saying things, why are you being so sensitive? At the moment I possess more power than you which may make it seem like you're working for me. Also how is it bad to expect things from my investment? You scratch my back I scratch yours. That's how the world works," chairman Kwon said nervously.
"You possesses more power than me? How funny. Sure you probably have more relics than me but, if I have Salvation in my hands, the whole world in under me. I may sound overconfident and you could say that's how I die since the Egyptian relics before were enraged by Salvation making a contract with me, but in the end I doubt they'll be able to actually win back Salvation since he's an independent relic," smirked Joo-Heon. "If that's all now, then I'll take my leave."
Seo Joo-Heon grabbed Dokja's hand and started walking towards where the others were, but when he passed Kwon Tae-Joon, he swiftly sliced the old man's neck however the cut immediately started healing and the man was fine.
Dokja stood there as another interaction between the two went down but his phone battery ran out so he was extremely bored. Walking up to Seo Joo-Heon, he tugged the male's sleeve to get his attention.
"Salvation, not now," the older male replied, focusing on his fight.
"But I'm bored," said Dokja.
"Just go read manhwa or something."
"..... I'll go somewhere else then."
"Sure- wait what Salvation!" Joo-Heon watched anxiously as Dokja started flying away.
'At least tell me where you're going dammit!' thought Joo-Heon, looking around while blocking chairman Kwon's attack.
"Rope!" Joo-Heon called out to his relic.
"Yes? Yes?" said the rope relic.
"Go after Salvation right now! Quick!" ordered Joo-Heon.
"Go after Salvation! After Salvation!" rope went in the direction where Dokja left to.
.

Bang*
"Salvation!" Joo-Heon slammed open the door of where they were staying and saw Dokja laying on the couch with the rope relic wrapped around him, using his phone while it was charging.
"Hyung?"
"Dammit don't run off like that!" Joo-Heon scolded him.
"Why?" questioned Dokja.
"Because um... you could've gotten lost...?" Joo-Heon tried to reason.
'Because I don't want you to break your contract with me and go after the guy that caught your eye last time,' was what Seo Joo-Heon meant to say.
"Hyung you're so silly. We made a contract so if I get lost I'll still know where you are," replied Dokja.
"Right... I forgot haha..."
