"Austin." Aragon II turned to look at the old sage, his tone overbearing. "The Red Dragon Empire wants to join this research. Name your terms."
Austin Sage smiled and did not reply. Instead, he slowly walked up to Raylo and patted his shoulder.
"Aragon, you've got the wrong person." The old sage pointed at Raylo, his tone playful. "The source of this technology, which is the core of the 'Dragon Knight Inheritance,' belongs to Count Raylo here. Mage City is only processing and improving it on his behalf. According to the contract, whether a third party is allowed to join requires the nod from the true owner."
Aragon II was taken aback for a moment. His gaze finally officially landed on Raylo.
He hadn't paid much attention to this young man before, even knowing he was a junior valued by Austin. In his eyes, a Catastrophe Level, even with some talent, was just a slightly stronger ant. But now, Austin's words forced him to reevaluate.
"You are Raylo?" Aragon II laughed heartily.
