Chapter 912
“I can give you three years‘ time and so long as you succeed in making Ruth an Overlord within that period of time, that’s more than enough,” George said.
“But,” Leon hesitated.
He saw what a genius Ruth was and with three years‘ time, there was a high chance that he could get Ruth to the Overlord State; however, his deal with George was only to assist a Semi–Overlord within the Collins to reach the Overlord State.
All Leon had to do was fulfill his promise and he saw no point in wasting his time to help Ruth as he would not gain anything from it.
He would have to be a fool to agree to George’s terms.
“No! Elder Collins, I can’t do it. Please pick someone else!” Leon said.
“It’s not that you can’t, but you won’t, right?” George did not give up and instead shot Leon a mysterious grin. “Leon, why don’t we add another deal on top of the one we have?”
“What?” Leon felt chills down his spine and thought to himself, ‘What does he want now?‘
“If I’m not mistaken, you seem to have plenty of enemies like Harold Lowe and the Fields. They are dying to get rid of you! You should know that without the Shears‘ support, they would have a much easier time attacking you!” George said.
Upon weighing the cost and gain, Leon agreed. “Okay. I’ll do it!”
“Very well! I love working with sharp people like you! I hope we work well together!” George burst out laughing.
Once the deal was made, George said thoughtfully, “Leon, you may go home for now. Ruth will pack her things and move in with you in a few days‘ time!”
“What?! Grandpa, you want me to move in with him?! N- No way!” Ruth gaped.
“Why not? He has already promised to make you into an Overlord. How else is he supposed to guide you if you don’t move in with him?”
