Nangong Cheng and Qian Xiaogong both froze and looked at Tong Hou. After a moment, the three of them understood that they had all been brought here against their will.
The situation was completely foreign to them. Of the three, Nangong Cheng was supposed to have the closest connection to all this.
Elder Huang glanced at him. "Just place your hand on the contract in front of you," he said. "Once you sign it, you'll be considered a probationary member of the Alliance."
"Probationary member?" Tong Hou asked, confused.
Elder Huang chuckled. "You didn't think the Alliance was begging you to join, did you? The only reason you're able to meet me is because someone, either openly or in secret, thought you were promising.
They submitted a review application, and after its own review, the Alliance gave its preliminary approval. That's all.
That's why I brought you here. Once you sign the contract, you will become One-Star probationary members of the Alliance.
