The Author's POV
Chapter 159
Frowning slightly, Amanda thought she had heard wrongly as she said.
"A deal?"
What kind of deal did he want to make with her?
...did he perhaps want to purchase a skill? An artifact? A partnership?
Many questions emerged in Amanda's head she tried to understand the current situation. Seeing the confusion written on Amanda's face, I spoke up.
"Yeah, I'm trying to set up a company and I'm currently looking for a backer"
Hearing the latter part of my sentence, as if some of her doubts were cleared, Amanda's brows knit in a frown as she looked at me and asked
"So you want a backer, in what sort of way?"
Nodding my head, I elaborated.
"Yes, one that would deter others from trying to blackmail my company or try to use their influence to try to shut us down or force us into giving them the framework of the project"
Taking a sip of her coffee, Amanda nodded her head.
"I see..."
That indeed made sense.
...if he decided to start up a company, having a large corporation supporting them was a good idea. That way there would be fewer people that would dare touch them.
Unless they were targeted by a large power whose strength was equivalent or greater to the backers they chose, the company would be able to develop smoothly and unobstructed. It was a great idea for those who were planning on increasing their market share quickly.
Nodding her head in understanding, after a short pause, Amanda's eyes narrowed as she understood something. She then proceeded to look at me and say
"...and you want the demon hunter guild to back you?"
Seeing that she understood, I nodded my head as I smiled
"Pretty much..."
What better backer was there than the current number one guild in the human domain?
Diamond graded guild, Demon hunter.
With them backing my company, its development would be smooth and fast. Exactly what I wanted.
Seeing me nod my head in confirmation, Amanda fell into deep thought as the frown on her face deepened.
"hmmm...I see"
Seeing Amanda's frown deepen, afraid that she would misunderstand I tried to elaborate.
"Ah, don't worry, I'm not asking you this as a favor but rather a deal on fair terms. As you have seen from the video, the product that I've developed is called a magic card"
Raising her head, Amanda thought back at the video I had shown her. Remembering the red card that shot fire after mana was injected in it, Amanda's interest piqued.
"So that thing was a magic card? "
"Yes"
Nodding my head and turning on my phone, I turned on the holographic function and showed Amanda the image of a red card that had fine golden patterns on its side. I then proceeded to explain to her how the card functioned.
"To summarize what it does, it's basically a card that can cast spells. Sort of like an external medium or an artifact"
Pausing and pointing towards the golden patterns on the card, I continued
"By engraving a simple magic circle on the card and by using a specific mixture of materials to create the frame of the card, the magic card can be created. It's essentially an item that upon injecting mana into the card activates the magic circle engraved on it and thus from there allows for users to cast spells like mages. Moreover, it can be used more than once..."
Hearing my explanation, Amanda didn't respond immediately. Placing her hand on her chin as she fell into deep thought, after a couple of seconds, she looked at me and questioningly asked
"...are you sure?"
