Chapter 490: Trap in the terms
"I have another proposal," Michael suggested. "If you win the duel, then I will give you the step-by-step instructions I followed to create the automobile from scratch."
Immediately, Uncle Jack’s eyes flared up with excitement. He thought he was getting the opportunity of a lifetime.
But of course, Michael didn’t tell him the whole truth. He specifically said that he would give up the instructions on how to create the automobile. But he didn’t tell Uncle Jack that it was written in english, making it completely useless to him.
He still made sure that Uncle Jack would win nothing in the very unlikely event that he would lose.
"Hahaha, you’re making the duel very exciting for me boy. Tell me. What will I have to give up?" Uncle Jack said, rubbing his hands together. He looked just about ready to agree to any terms Michael presented just to make sure that he didn’t suddenly back down from the fight.
"You can agree that the instruction manual is very valuable, seeing as it contains the secret to my automobile, right?"
"Stop teasing me now," Uncle Jack muttered with a laugh.
"If I win, then I can have everything that you have right now in person."
Uncle Jack laughed. "I see...you must have seen my Mithril Relic," he said, bringing out the staff from behind him.
This was his weapon. It was a glowing violet staff with a mirrored ball at the very top.
"This weapon is indeed valuable...and in my opinion, it is equal to the instruction manual for your automobile. If that is the terms of our duel, then I accept!"
