Raphael placed the empty cup on the table.
"EUROPHASARK [Neural Ark], I know a bit about this project too. Did Sora promise to use it to heal your brain? It's pointless. You'll die on the operating table..."
"Why don't you make it clearer."
John stared at Raphael, his tone calm.
"Since you know, why don't you elaborate? I'll compare it with the AI in my brain. If it's a bad deal, I won't go through with it. How about that?"
"Intelligence requires payment."
Raphael also smiled.
John shrugged, looking indifferent.
"See, that's how middlemen are, love playing riddles, deep down it's all about business, yet expect others to trust you unconditionally!"
"Did it say anything?"

"..."
John's mind was quiet.
Sora offered no defense.
