"Uncle, what actually happened? Why did you call me?" Anna's mother was surprised that her uncle's opinion about the boy had changed. She knew her uncle. He was a stuck-up, stubborn old fool. If he formed an opinion of something, it would be impossible to change it. Yet the boy managed to alter her uncle's impression of him significantly.
"I thought you would never ask me. It's regarding the boy. He wants to partner up with the royal family on another project. This one is not a big one like the silver milk powder, but it will add a massive boost to southern regions income." Lorenzo started to talk about why he called his niece late at night.
"Knowing the way that boy does things. He must be trying to get the Royal family to do all the work while he sits and counts the profits. The question is whether the project he proposed is worth our effort." Anna's mother directly went to the crux of the matter.
"Trust me, it is. Ann has already agreed to a 51:49 split. All that remains is Anna's sign-on the soul contract." Lorenzo informed his niece about the terms agreed by Ann.
"It seems the boy is no average teenager to make Ann throw in the towel for such terms." Anna's mother strongly trusted her second daughter's capabilities when it came to the negotiation.
"Yes, he is not to be underestimated. But trust me, the deal is worth it. If we play our cards right this time around, we can get something more capable than the Holy Empire's Divine incineration Array formation." Lorenzo finally told the real reason for his call.
"Holy Empire's Divine Incineration Array Formation! Uncle, are you serious?" Anna's mother asked in astonishment.
"Yes. Do you remember a few decades ago, the top ten universities joined together to duplicate the Holy Empire's Divine Incineration Array Formation?" Lorenzo asked
"Yes, but didn't they fail in the end? Didn't MorningStar University recruit you as outside help for that project? Why are you bringing that up now, unless—" Anna's mother was interrupted by impatient Lorenzo.
"Yes, thanks to the boy's latest discovery, I have already figured out why the ten universities failed to duplicate the Holy Empire's Divine Incineration Array Formation.
Right now, I need the Royal family to buy all the research related to this project from the top ten universities." Though Lorenzo's prestige precedes him, dealing with all the top 10 universities at once was beyond his power. So he needed his niece's authority to achieve that.
"Uncle, the top ten universities are greedier than beggars. What you are asking for isn't going to come cheap. How sure are you about this?" Buying something that a single top university owned was already expensive, but something that all ten top ten universities own together would cost more than a fortune.
"Trust me on this. You will make the money you spent in no time with the copyright of the array. The Royal families, the government, Noble clans, and Sects have been coveting the Holy Empire's Divine Incineration Array Formation for centuries. They will pay any price to get their hands on it." The world has coveted the prowess of the Holy Empire's Divine Incineration Array Formation. Seeing the fortune to make in this array, the top ten universities collaborated to duplicate it but ultimately failed. While the Empire mocked them for their failed effort.
"Okay, I will gamble on you on this one. But the top ten universities are not fools. To avoid their suspicion, we need a story to sell to them." Anna's mother decided to gamble on her uncle's instincts.
" That array isn't the only one. I have a list of arrays that we need to acquire as soon as possible. As for the story, just tell them that I plan to use these array formations to get inspiration to form my divinity. That should be good enough." Lorenzo then forwarded the list of array formation copyright to be acquired to his niece's grimoire.
"These are too many, uncle. People are bound to ask questions." Going through the list, Anna's mother was astonished by the number of arrays listed.
"We don't have to buy all of them, but the ones I underlined have to be purchased no matter the cost. Those arrays will pay for themselves at a later date. As for the people, I trust you will think of a way to erase their curiosity." Lorenzo believed that if anybody was up to this task, it was his niece.
"Uncle, I will worry about acquiring all of these arrays. You worry about fixing them up and reintroducing them into the market. These copyrights will serve as the backbone of our family treasury in the long run." Anna's mother assured Lorenzo that she would acquire all of the arrays mentioned in the list.
"Niece, aren't you forgetting about the boy." Lorenzo reminded his niece that they had a partner with whom they would have to split half of the profits.
"How can I forget my son-in-law?" Anna's mother implied that if Anna were to marry the boy, everything would stay within the family, and their children, her grandchildren, would own a hundred percent of the copyright.
"I don't think the boy feels about Anna that way." Lorenzo liked his niece's idea, but he felt that the boy had someone else in his heart.
"Uncle, the only reason I am letting the boy take advantage of our family is that I see him as one of us in the future. If that is not possible—" Lorenzo immediately interrupted his niece.
"Even if he doesn't become a part of the Royal family. We need him. He is the only person who can help the Royal family stand on the same stage as the central region and the government. Dear niece, it is not clear who is taking advantage of whom. He is the goose that keeps laying golden eggs for us. Don't let your ignorance kill the goose for momentary gains."
