Bernard's Offers

"…" Theo closed his eyes and learned the hidden meaning in his words. He let out a long sigh and asked, "You're saying you won't do anything about this?"

Leonardo smiled. "I won't do anything regarding anyone's matter. That's for you to solve."

Theo thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your explanations. I will consider it."

"Okay then." Leonardo nodded and rose from the couch. "Do you mind if I go around here? Maybe to the garden?"

"Nope." Theo shook his head while calling his clone to 'guide' him.

After seeing him off, Theo turned to Bernard.

"Oh, me? It's my turn now, I guess." Bernard calmly put down his glasses and said, "Well, my offers are similar to him. But since this is for you, I will reword it.

"First of all, I will give you ten billion Zils per year. That money is easy for us, especially since both my Star Group and my daughter's Starry Group are in the Weapon Industry.
