"That's not necess--!" And Angel kissed him, turning Alastor's face scarlet.
He'd had plenty of time to go over the contract over the past few weeks, reading it line by line and scrutinizing every detail. He was a Dealmaker, but that was about more than just making Deals. To make one that would properly bind another's soul, one needed to know how to search for loopholes.
He cleared his throat awkwardly as he calmed the blush. "I can't say I've found a surefire clause to break the contract immediately, but Valentino seems to have copied other contracts to build this piece of trash. He clearly expected to be able to keep you in line via his strong-arm tactics, to make it so you never bothered to question what was written here."
He tapped the lower parts.
"Because of his slapdash work, there's a lot of legal jargon here that I'm still sorting out. Some of it is outright contradictory within the same paragraph if not sentence, so I'm making sure he isn't some sort of mad genius where it all comes together at the end.
"Though if you want my opinion, the fastest way to break the contract is to put him into a situation where he violates the terms. The easiest way? Publicly making money that he can't touch. If he attempts to take what isn't his as defined in Paragraph 3, the contract will break automatically and your soul will be returned to you."
