Asking a Level-5 Magician with an unruly temperament for money really wasn't easy.
Fortunately, this Holy Tower was Dark Flame's own property. No matter how the money was spent, in the end, it was still being spent on Dark Flame himself.
Otherwise, this Level-5 Magician was not someone easy to reason with.
After a long silence, Dark Flame asked, "How much more do you need exactly?"
Saine and Kester exchanged a glance, then handed over the Holy Tower construction plan they had drafted earlier. Saine spoke first. "Another one million Magic Coins should be enough for the time being."
"If possible, it would be best to inject two million Magic Coins directly into the Holy Tower's Public Funds pool."
"That way, President Kester and the others won't have to keep troubling you over Holy Tower funding matters," Saine said.
From his time with Kester and the others, Saine had learned that Dark Flame Master was not a magician particularly enthusiastic about Holy Tower construction.
Unless some extremely important event or decision arose, the presidents normally never even saw the Tower Master.
Even during the once-every-fifty-years Regional Holy Tower Academy War, this Tower Master had never attended.
Last time, when Dark Flame Holy Tower Academy achieved an excellent overall ranking of second place, the Tower Master had not appeared to offer even a word of encouragement to his academy's apprentices. He had merely instructed the presidents from afar to grant that cohort of apprentices greater rewards.
Saine also did not want to disturb the Tower Master on the uppermost floor every time funding was needed.
It would be better for everyone if they could secure all the funds in one go.
After hearing Saine's answer, Dark Flame cast him a sidelong glance.
