Zorn was always the one getting things for free. How could he let someone else do the same to him?
"If the size and intensity of the Sun King's Golden Skeleton Miss Isabelle brings me is satisfactory, then of course I can share the special absorption method and ritual."
Zorn gave a definitive answer.
'If you want my ritual and method, you have to pay the price.'
'Freeloading? Not a chance!'
Isabelle's eyes narrowed as she seemed to fall into deep thought.
But Zorn guessed that she was most likely communicating with the unseen "Lady Sun."
After a long moment, Isabelle looked back at Zorn.
"Mr. Zorn, I have the utmost respect for your knowledge of Extraordinary Studies."
"I will do my best to bring you a sufficient quantity of the Sun King's Golden Skeleton."
"But to cooperate and receive resources from us, you'll need to make a gesture of good faith as well, won't you, Mr. Zorn?"
Zorn knew the crucial moment had come.
