"Reject the investor."
This was a big taboo in the Holy City.
Rumor had it that the investor would get what he wanted no matter what. Even the commanders would find it hard to reject the investor.
However.
Now, this was the "second time" that Han Dong had rejected the investor.
The first time was at the Knights Conference. The investor's substitute who came to participate in the conference offered Han Dong an olive branch, but in the end, Han Dong chose to join the Secret Words Knights because of Commander Hugo.
The investor didn't find trouble with him afterward. Han Dong guessed that it had something to do with Commander Hugo and the council's secret handling.
Now, in the face of the investor's request, Han Dong still refused.
The reason was simple. Such a seemingly generous condition was nothing in Han Dong's eyes. It couldn't be compared with his own [Time].
"Investor, forgive me for refusing."
When giving such an answer, Han Dong's spirit was also fully tense. He even derived the structure of tentacles in his brain to prepare for "Soul Borrowing."
Combined with the great demon commander's warning at the elevator just now, the investor and Mr. Newton might really do something unfavorable to Han Dong.
Haha! Haha!
Waves of laughter were constantly squeezed out from the fat, accompanied by a large number of gold coins falling to the ground.
In the face of Han Dong's rejection, the investor was not angry. Instead, he felt very happy.
"You are indeed a knight who made great contributions during the great expedition and played a decisive role. I think such a 'common' condition can't satisfy you at all.
No need to be nervous.
The cooperation condition just now was just a test.
After all, neither Newton nor I personally participated in the great expedition. No matter how wonderful the description of you is, as long as I don't see it myself, I won't easily believe it.
From your decisive refusal just now, 60% of the rumors about you should be true.
Next, I need to continue to verify the remaining 40%. If you can really do it, I will talk to you about a very cost-effective deal that will definitely satisfy you. "
"What?"
"How much can you see from my body in one minute?
If you can't see anything, today's conversation will end here. We won't interfere with you in any way. The basic cooperation between you and the Steam Knights will still be maintained.
The countdown has begun. "
Although Han Dong didn't quite understand his patron's true intentions, he could vaguely smell the scent of an opportunity.
Since his sugar daddy took the initiative to show him, Han Dong didn't hold back.
When the demonic eye opened, the surrounding space started to distort.
A strange black vortex quickly formed in his pupils.
The gray and turbid visual effects slowly drilled into the golden membrane on the surface of the metal body like tentacles and seeped into the belly sac to see the real scene inside the body.
"This is!"
Seeing this scene, Han Dong turned pale with fright and turned his head.
He looked at the other person in the conference room, Mr. Newton, who had been standing at the door obediently the whole time.
"Patron … is this your creation, Mr. Newton?!"
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Crisp applause sounded in the conference room.
Mr. Newton revealed a smile that was completely different from his usual smile. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.
"13 seconds … It seems like your eyes are quite special. There shouldn't be a second eye like this in the entire Holy City.
Remember, you must keep this matter a secret for me. Otherwise, according to the laws of the Holy City, I will lose a lot of precious time.
Just like you said, I was the one who created Sugar Daddy.
The technology and price involved came from my life and death experience in the destiny space.
In the end, I used a node of the [Developable World] as the foundation and consumed all the points I had at that time to finally complete the creation of Patron.
I didn't expect you to be able to see it … Your 'existence' has exceeded the conventional definition and is worthy of our deeper cooperation. "
Han Dong was completely stunned.
No one would have thought of this.
The famous general of the Steam Knights was actually Mr. Newton's creation … In other words, the entire Steam Knights, the entire Steam City, and the Holy Ring organization that was currently above the parliament were all managed by Newton alone.
"Next, let's talk about the real cooperation."
Mr. Newton sat in an elegant posture directly opposite Han Dong.
A real contract made of soft metal was handed over.
"Time is the most precious thing in the world.
The higher a person climbs, the more priceless time is … I know very well that Nicholas, your time can no longer be measured by money.
Therefore, the cooperation we are about to reach will not only not take up your time, but it can also save you some time.
[Steam technology] is my lifelong pursuit. In my opinion, it is the branch of technology with the most potential and value.
I will put everything into it, including my life. "
Newton's tone had completely changed. He no longer pretended and spoke from the bottom of his heart. He put himself on the same level as Han Dong and had the most sincere conversation.
"However, the level I have reached is far from enough.
It is not enough to push the entire Holy City to a higher area through the gears and to a safe area … I need more and more intuitive technical support.
I hope you can share the steam technology with me, Nicholas.
If there is a chance, I hope you can be the 'middleman' and let me meet the scientists involved in the Yimo Cube and steam gears … It would be best if it could be one of the [Old Kings] who has mastered this end.
In return, I will share all the research results with you without reservation.
I will even send the best engineers to transfer the relevant technology and equipment to your manor to save a lot of time.
Of course, all the above will not restrict your freedom, Nicholas. It is just a technical exchange like before. "
Hearing this, Han Dong also showed a gratified smile.
During the conversation, the magic eye remained open … Mr. Newton's passionate speech did not contain any lies. What Han Dong could be sure of was that Mr. Newton would always put steam research and the development of the Holy City first.
At the same time, he also understood why Mr. Black And White would choose to trust Newton unconditionally and even accept the mechanical transformation provided by the other party.
"Of course … However, Mr. Newton. I still have some questions.
In terms of pulling strings, my relationship with the Yimo Cube is indeed good.
But as a well-known professor in the Secret Academy, Commander Hugo must be able to establish technical cooperation with the Yimo, right? Why do you still need to find me? "
"Do you know about Hugo's matter as well?
In that case, there is no mistake … Hugo is indeed helping me. Some Yimo experts in the Secret Academy who are involved in mechanical gears are establishing a cooperative relationship with us.
However, this relationship does not include the [Old Kings], and the other party's attitude has always been high and mighty. There are many things that they are not willing to take out directly.
I hope to get your help, Nicholas. I also hope to be able to directly contact the [Old Kings] as soon as possible. "
"Okay."
