I'll Make You Regret It

"Want to buy my research...?"

Io finally wiped the smile from her face and stared at Luo Zhen with unusual seriousness for the first time.

"That's right."

Meeting Io's gaze, Luo Zhen answered calmly.

"Although I don't have several warships' worth of budget like you do, and even my living expenses are provided by someone else, it won't be a problem for me to get together enough money to surprise you."

Luo Zhen said this just like that.

He wasn't bragging.

For example, if Luo Zhen really wanted some money, Karyusai Shouko certainly wouldn't mind sponsoring him.

Perhaps, in the minds of some men with strong masculine pride, it would be terribly embarrassing for a grown man like Luo Zhen to rely on Karyusai Shouko for money. But Karyusai Shouko needed Luo Zhen's help and wanted to achieve her goal through him, so providing the funding was only natural. There was no distinction between men and women when it came to that.

Of course, this was also mainly because Luo Zhen came from Chaldea. If Chaldea wanted its Masters to save the Human Order, then it naturally had to be responsible for their personal safety and daily needs as well. Luo Zhen was perfectly clear about the reasonable conditions he deserved because of his position.

Besides, even without Karyusai Shouko's funding, with Luo Zhen's knowledge and intellect, he could casually take out something capable of shocking an entire region and raise an extremely considerable sum of money.

At the very least, if Luo Zhen truly wanted money, hundreds of ways to get it could appear in his mind in an instant. The only difference was whether they were fast or slow, and whether they brought in more or less.

That was precisely why Luo Zhen had never worried about money.
