Clovis smiled. "Don't worry. It's not that harsh. There are three conditions. First, the research should have been finished, so you can immediately test and even produce it. However, I wish that you would wait for me first.
"I'm planning to leave this city one year after my awakening, so there are still about nine to ten months. I want you to wait until that time before announcing it. Of course, I would like my members to get it first."
"It's easy. We still need to test it, which will take a few months. Because the price of beast souls will skyrocket, it's better if we stock as many beast souls as possible before launching it. Let alone a year, I can even wait for three years."
Clovis shook his head. "A year is enough. The second condition is that you have to hide our name. We don't want to get into trouble with this information. You can claim that it's yours, but respect the name of the author. Give him the credit he deserves."
"Are you sure about this? If you are known because of this, there will be a lot of fame and money opportunity."
"Yeah. The trouble that will follow is simply not worth all that." Clovis sighed. He certainly had a headache just thinking about the mess he had to clean up, especially since he had a group.
"Alright. I can fulfill the second condition. What is the last condition?"
"We want a priority for it. I mean, do you think we won't use it?"
"If that's your condition, it's easy. In fact, you deserve shares or a portion of revenue just by providing the information alone."@@@@
Clovis pointed at Kanaria. "As for the details of the contract and shares, she will handle it."
"Okay." Hana agreed without hesitation. She never thought that the conditions were easy to fulfill.
This made Clovis look generous or even foolish. But she felt things weren't so simple. With how easily he revealed this information, he might have something even more terrifying on his sleeve.
However, Hana simply waved her hand, gesturing that she had misunderstood her. "Don't worry. I'm not going to steal him from you. First of all, I'm too greedy. I don't think I will do something that makes me potentially lose money... for example, divorce.
"And even if I marry someone, I'm going to be a horrible wife and mother. I won't have time to do much for my significant other since I'm going to bury myself either in business or exploration. The same applies to the child. Instead of being irresponsible, I will just not do it.
I'd rather use that money to make a foundation for homeless children and train them so that they can change their future... if I can be so kind.
"So, don't worry, Miss." Hana winked her right eye.
"..." Kanaria remained silent for a minute, making the atmosphere awkward.
"Mhmm... If you're not going to say anything, I will leave... I have soaked for too long."
Kanaria finally opened her mouth. "My goal is city reconstruction, taking the world back from the beasts. It definitely requires a lot of money."
Hana raised her eyebrows, starting to understand the meaning of that agreement. It seemed that Clovis cared for her dearly.
"While I'm good at logistics, I'm not someone who can generate a stable cash flow. That's why he answered it that way and even brought up this collaboration.
"He has sacrificed a lot of things and planned to do more in the future. I feel like I'm unable to repay him no matter how hard I try.
"Hence, the least I can do is to sacrifice a part of myself... Though, I'm not even sure why I even tell you about this." Kanaria let out a long sigh as she walked to the edge of the hot spring while extending her hand. "Let's discuss the agreement later."
Hana looked astonished for a moment before taking her hand. "I might have underestimated you a little bit. The reason why I came here was purely business, so you don't have to worry for now. I've told you earlier, right? Money will always be my priority."
