Eber widened his mouth in disbelief after hearing their suggestion.Then, he glanced at Elijah doubtfully.
‘The JJ Johnston Group should be able to overcome this challenge, so why do they want to collaborate
with us? What's in it for them? Nobody would do something that doesn't bring them benefit" Eber
thought as he stared at Nicole.
Meanwhile, Elijah stared at Nicole.He understood why the JJ Johnston Group was helping him; he was
silent for a few moments before nodding in agreement.
"Sure, let's do it.What do we need to do?"
Nicole turned to Jared; she seemed to be silently questioning him as well.However, Jared looked back
at her and chuckled.
"Will you be leaving this place?" he asked.
Nicole immediately shook her head without hesitation.
Jared was not surprised at Nicole's response.He turned to Elijah with a smile before knocking on the
table gently; it sounded unusually loud and clear.
"I'll think of a way to gather the needed materials within a week.There are only two things that you need
to do: number one, do your best and upgrade the Mobile Armor.Use the least amount of time to
develop a Mobile Armor that can be used on the battlefield, has double the combat power, and can be
mass produced.Number two."
He turned to look at Nicole with a gleam in his eyes.
"I want to stay in the room next to hers."
Everyone stared at them speechlessly.
The first request sounded incredibly difficult.
However, it seemed somewhat normal after they had heard Jared's second request.
‘Mobile Armors with double the combat power that can also be mass produced? Dream on.If success
could be achieved so easily, we wouldn't be stagnant for this many years" they thought.
Among all of the people present, only Merry had what it took to possibly fulfill Jared's request.
However, Merry frowned slightly.
‘Optimizing the Mobile Armor isn't an issue.The real issue is: how will I get my brothers to collect all of
the blueprints? And how will I upgrade the basic data?’ she wondered.
Regardless, she did not want to be looked down on by Jared.
Merry gritted her teeth and turned to the crowd.
Everyone was looking at her with anticipation.
"I'll do my best," she said slowly.
Merry subconsciously knew that Elijah would let her take on the responsibility, so she answered to get
him to agree to the collaboration.
Meanwhile, Elijah did not question them at all.
While Jared's first request was a little challenging for them, he sighed in relief once he saw Nicole's
calm expression.
‘I don't have to worry much when Nicole's here.The second request is simple.There's an empty room
next to Nicole's; we'll have to tidy up the room and let him move in.But Carlisle...I can't force Nicole if
she isn't interested in him"
At this thought, he looked at Jared and said without hesitation, "No problem."
Eber and Simon looked at their brother in shock.
‘Elijah and Merry have the guts to take on such an unattainable task! Is this a joke?' they wondered.
