"What request?"
"The monster's level can be at fifty, the number of branded sets can be just twenty, and I can even provide you with the materials for free, as long as you agree to one request of mine.
If one day I find myself in need, I ask that John lend me a hand to overcome any difficulties."
Facing Barry's sincere gaze, John suddenly smiled.
"How about this, Barry? We'll make a contract. For the next thirty years, whenever you come to me, as long as your request doesn't involve my interests or those of anyone related to me, I will help you to the best of my ability. Does that work?"
"Then let's wish for a pleasant cooperation."
Barry extended his hand, looking sincerely at John. John also extended his hand, grasping Barry's in a firm handshake.
But in fact, John was making a small calculation.
After all, he had less than two years left, so a thirty-year promise was nonsense.
