Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 1635: Lying? A reveal? Giving up?

"Hand over the Garm series, I want everything."

The air froze when he said this.

Charlotte and Loki stayed silent.

Wu Yan's request was obvious to them, they knew who he is trying to cover.

Frey was stunned. She looked at the both of them with panic, anxiety, and more hope than the former two emotions.

"Oh, looks like you like my daughter very much. To use yourself as a chip for her, I am awed...."

"Myself as the chip?"

Wu Yan crossed his arms with a sigh.

"You're wrong."

"Wrong?"

Bronson looked at him.

"You're not joining Divine Works to get all the rights and physical automata of the Garm series."

"Wrong again."

Wu Yan said.

"You're going to give me the Garm series because I asked for it, I am not going to pay for it."

"What do you mean?"

Bronson narrowed his eyes.

"You want the Garm series for free?"

Does he want these low-maintenance Garm automata for free? He could raise a small squad of Puppetters with just the automata alone.

That's like asking for a house for free.

Wu Yan beamed at him.

"That's right."

Loki, Frey, and Charlotte gasped. Meanwhile, Nronson furrowed his brows.

"Do you think this is an acceptable request for anyone?"

"You're going to say yes."

Wu Yan said assuredly.

"Plus, it's not like you're going to keep the Garm series alive anyway."

"—!"

Frey and Charlotte gasped whereas Loki flinched back.

Bronson's eyes turned sharp like a criminal who was caught stealing.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, you want me to spell it out?"

Wu Yan didn't take this person seriously despite said researcher being one of the few close contenders for a Satan title in the past.

Wu Yan shook his head.

He decided to call this guy out.

"You never considered pitting Garm against the Angel series, you told them you're going to pick the better series?"

Wu Yan laughed.

"You already decided to sell the Angel series to the elite squad of the British Army. The Garms were slated for disposals."

"What do you mean?"

Charlotte couldn't help but ask.

"He lied to Frey?"

Frey shook her head in disbelief, she wanted her foster father to deny that allegation.

But Bronson continued staring at Wu Yan.

"I have been nothing but cordial to you, but you're slandering me like this, do you think I am easy to bully?"

Bronson emitted a wave of magic power.

It gave the air around them a sultry sense.

Frey turned tense while Loki and Charlotte resisted the power.

"That's some dense magic power..."

Charlotte grumbled.

"If Bronson joined then other than Wu Yan and Magnus, nobody could fight him."

Charlotte made that assessment after tasting his mana.

However, a duel of magic power?

Against Wu Yan?

He is just asking for a beatdown.

"Like I said, if you're going to do it, don't go for small gains. You're just being annoying."

Wu Yan ignored the magic pressure.

"Well, I can more or less guess why, you're just someone who were close to the Satan title, not the actual winner."

"The magic association said that only Satans are allowed to touch forbidden knowledge. Nobody can touch it or be put on a manhunt."

Wu Yan grinned.

"Tell me, is the Garm Series made of Banned Dolls?"

Loki, Frey, and Charlotte were stupefied for a second.

"The Garm series were made of living dogs."

These automata had living tissue in them.

Banned dolls are coined as such because they aren't supposed to be made.

If people found out about the truth behind the Garm series, the conspirators could be hunted down at best and executed at worst.

As such, even if the Garm series were somehow perfected, it wouldn't be possible to sell it to the military in big batches. The magic council would likely find out and sanction Bronson for it.

Can he really go through with the plan given the risks?

No, he wanted to get rid of the Garm series as a way to hide his crimes.

Charlotte was right.

Bronson lied to Frey from the outset.

"Father, you were lying to me?"

Frey turned pale.

Bronson didn't answer. He coldly leered at Frey.

"Did you tell him about the banned doll?"

"I..."

"I see..."

Bronson sighed.

"Not only are you utterly useless, you betrayed my expectations."

Bronson looked at Wu Yan.

"Fine, you want it that badly? You can have it."
