Chapter 1486 Signing the Deal

"30 thousand gold coins?" Zarius asked, unable to understand just how much it was that he was being offered. He had a total of around 35 thousand gold coins provided to him for the current research he was doing.

When he completed the research and invented these echolocation devices, the sale of it would be what the sponsors would get back. It was called an investment because there was a chance of failure with no money back for the sponsors.

And Ning wanted to nearly double his research funds. Zarius wondered if he was being toyed with and looked toward Jacob who sat in the distance and got a nod of approval from him.

Zarius took a deep breath. "Thank you for this, Sir Ning," Zarius said as he stood up and shook Ning's hand. "I promise you, I will finish this invention within the next 2 months now."

Ning smiled. "I will wait for it," he said. Zarius looked toward one of the guards and gestured something. The bodyguard walked forward and pulled out a briefcase he had been holding this entire time, opening it to reveal a bunch of documents inside.

Zarius pulled out one of the documents and handed it to his daughter, who began writing on it. She paused at one point and looked up.

"What is your full name?" she asked.

"Is that for me to sign?" Ning asked.

"Yes," the girl said. "This is a binding document to keep us to each other's words."

"If that is so then do not write my name in it," Ning said.

The girl frowned, putting down the pen to look at Ning. Zarius frowned as well. "Sir Ning. I thought you said you were ready to invest."

"I am," Ning said. "I simply don't want it under me."

He turned around toward the two that were sitting comfortably, with not a care in the world. "You two, come here. You have a few documents to sign."

"What?" Jasmine asked, realizing that she had been called. "What do you want?"

Ning ignored her. "Please make 2 documents with 15 thousand gold coins each. The sponsor in one of them will be Timothy Orstar, from City of New Tremala in Ordain kingdom."

"As for the other one, she is Jasmine from Warfort," Ning said.

Zarius looked back with a confused look. "I'm sorry. What is that?" he asked.

"I mean, you made a camera, so it won't be long before the camera takes videos. And those videos have to be shown somewhere, shouldn't they? So you should be making Televisions soon enough."

Zarious seemed truly puzzled. "I'm afraid I do not understand what you mean," he said. "The terms you are using, they must be in another language or something."

"I understand," Ning said. "Then, what about your system?"

"My system of work? I thought I already answered that. I see and problem and I fix it. That's it," Zarius said.

One of the guards stopped to stop Ning from moving down the flight of stairs that led somewhere.

"I'm sorry but you cannot come beyond here, Sir Ning. I will meet you when I can later or tomorrow."

Zarius left, walking away with the set of guards toward his workshop.

Ning watched them leave and smiled.

Tim and Jasmine arrived behind him, looking at the people that walked away.

"What was that about? What did you say?" Tim asked.

"I wanted to see if he knew the words I said or not," Ning said. "I needed to find out if he has a system or not helping him with these inventions."

"What's that?" Jasmine asked.

Ning shrugged.

"Did he have this thing?" Tim asked.

"No, he doesn't have it," Ning said, but he was unable to keep the smile away from his face.

Zarius did not react to the words Television or Camera. But someone else did.

"It's his daughter," Ning said softly. "She's the one with the system."
