Chapter 612: Making it Official

”Exactly,” Kaiden agreed. ”So I either let you keep living like that... letting you sacrifice for my sake without doing my part... Or I make it official.”

The words landed like a dropped plate.

Official...?

Emily’s heart began to hammer so hard she could hear it. ”...W-What are you planning, Kai...?” she whispered.

”For starters, how about this?” Kaiden grinned.

A translucent pane unfolded in front of all three of them at once, clean and elegant, edged in Valhalla’s sigil. It wasn’t flashy. It didn’t need to be. The authority behind it was unmistakable.

At the top, written in crisp system script, were the words:

— Valhalla’s Sinners | Operational Support Contract —

Below it, the text resolved smoothly, line by line.

—

Parties Involved:

This agreement is entered between Kaiden Grey, Manager and Acting Commander of Valhalla’s Sinners, hereafter referred to as The Principal, and the following individuals:

Sarah — Community Liaison & Crisis Response Coordinator

Emily — Audience Engagement Analyst & Sentiment Specialist

Leia — Strategic Communications Supervisor

Scope of Role:

The above parties shall act as official operational support staff for Valhalla’s Sinners, responsible for maintaining public-facing stability, managing audience relations, monitoring platform integrity, and providing real-time feedback during live operations and broadcasts.

Compensation:

Each contractor shall receive a base salary of $100,000 USD per month.

—

Sarah’s breath hitched so hard it actually hurt.

Emily let out a tiny, broken sound that might have been a laugh or a sob.

Leia stared at the number in dignified silence, then very calmly whispered, ”...That is not a typo, is it?”

—

Benefits:

Priority system access and direct communication channels

Legal and platform protection under Valhalla’s banner

Flexible scheduling aligned with personal well-being

Additional benefits, bonuses, and long-term incentives to be discussed and finalized at a later date

A small addendum appeared beneath it, almost casual.

No exclusivity clause. No forced hours. If any of this ever stops feeling right, you walk. No hard feelings.

—

At the bottom, three glowing signature fields pulsed softly.

Kaiden’s voice returned, gentler now. ”This isn’t me buying your loyalty, ladies. You already gave that for free, and that was never fair. This is me making due on my debts, something I should’ve done a long time ago.”

For a moment, none of them spoke.

Then Sarah pressed a hand to her mouth, eyes shining. ”Kai... this is insane. This is... This is life-changing. No one in my family ever earned that much money in a month... And I only have to do what I already wanted to?”

Emily was openly crying now, her shoulders shaking as she laughed weakly. ”I just wanted to help moderate chat... This feels like me robbing you, Kai...”

”The stream grew to what it is today because of people like you. How can I possibly let you continue going unrewarded?” Kaiden replied. ”But, of course, if you really don’t want to be paid, I understand. We can discuss other methods of payment, or forego them completely. I won’t force it upon any of you.”

Leia inhaled deeply, composed to the last... until her finger hovered over the signature line and trembled.

”I maintained dignity for the entire call,” she said solemnly.

”You did? What was that about imagining me rawdogging you?”

”Shush, Kaiden Grey...” Leia narrowed her eyes and ignored the words of her idol. ”I believe I am entitled to lose it for approximately five seconds.”

”FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

She signed.

”Agreed! This is the best day of my life!” Sarah screamed, signing instantly.

”I mean...” Emily hesitated. ”Is it really not a problem...?”

”It would be my honor,” Kaiden smiled.

”O-okay...” she whispered sheepishly.

The moment all three signatures locked in, the contract sealed with a soft chime, and STATUS: ACTIVE appeared in gold.

Kaiden smiled on the other end, wider than before. ”Welcome to the team, trio of Sherlocks.”

”Shush, Kai...” Sarah grinned. Then she gasped. ”... Wait.”

She read over a detail that didn’t catch her attention the first time. ”Long-term incentives to be discussed and finalized at a later date. What does that mean?”

There was a brief pause on the line. Just long enough for anticipation to start spiraling.

Kaiden’s smile turned a touch playful. ”I was thinking... maybe that’s a conversation better had in person.”

All three of them gasped.

”In person?” Leia echoed carefully.

Kaiden nodded, even though only the system could really see it. ”Yeah. How about dinner? Somewhere nice. My treat. Plane tickets, hotels, everything included.”

Emily’s breath caught audibly. ”D-Dinner... with you?”

”Of course. Feels wrong to negotiate long-term plans over voice chat.”

Sarah’s mind raced ahead faster than she could stop it. ”Is this reality? Someone pinch my cheeks.”

”I don’t know which city my first three employees live in,” Kaiden admitted. ”Except for you, Sarah. We’ve already met. So I figured you could tell me. Or I send someone to arrange it once you’re comfortable.”

Silence.

Not awkward silence.

Catastrophic silence.

Emily’s brain had fully shut down. Leia stared straight ahead, lips parted, dignity in full retreat. Sarah’s hands flew up to her face as if to physically hold herself together.

For half a second, it was like time stopped.

Then...

”””Fuck yeah!”””

All three voices hit at once, perfectly synchronized, bursting out in a way that was half-scream, half-laugh, and entirely unfiltered joy.

Emily immediately clapped both hands over her mouth, horrified at herself. ”I-I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to swear!”

Leia, already recovering just enough to smirk, added, ”Learn to live a little! I know you meant every syllable.”

”Nooo!!”

Sarah was practically bouncing where she stood. ”Dinner! With Kai! In person! This is insane! This is actually insane!”

Kaiden laughed, warm and genuine, the sound settling their nerves even as it made their hearts race faster. ”Then it’s settled. We’ll figure out the details later. As you so accurately pointed out, I must focus on the competition for now.”

Emily nodded so hard it was a miracle she didn’t get dizzy. ”O-Okay... yes... absolutely okay...”

”Good,” Kaiden said softly. ”I’m looking forward to it.”

And as the call wound down, three fangirls, no, three newly appointed members of Valhalla’s Sinners, sat in stunned happiness, realizing that somehow, impossibly, their lives had just taken a turn they’d never even dared to imagine.

Then Sarah jumped and began rushing down.

”Moooom!!! You won’t believe this! We’re rich!”

”Have you stolen my wine again? Stop speaking nonsense, hopeless girl...” came the dry reply.

”No! Listen!”

And just like this, the three loyal fangirls became even more loyal - if that was physically possible.

But Kaiden didn’t have the time to dwell on this topic any longer. His girls were already drenched in monster blood. It was time for him to join in on the fun and shock the world.

Now, he would stream everything.

No holding back.
