Chapter 1486: Signing the Deal

"30 thousand gold coins?" Zarius asked, unable to understand just how much it was that he was being offered. He had a total of around 35 thousand gold coins provided to him for the current research he was doing.

When he completed the research and invented these echolocation devices, the sale of it would be what the sponsors would get back. It was called an investment because there was a chance of failure with no money back for the sponsors.

And Ning wanted to nearly double his research funds. 

Zarius wondered if he was being toyed with and looked toward Jacob who sat in the distance and got a nod of approval from him.

Zarius took a deep breath. 

"Thank you for this, Sir Ning," Zarius said as he stood up and shook Ning's hand. "I promise you, I will finish this invention within the next 2 months now."

Ning smiled. "I will wait for it," he said.
