Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

He didn't think about much else at all.

Looking at Pantalone's performance, the girl on the puppet smiled gently.

"Heh, is that just wishful thinking and nonsense?"

She didn't really think Pantalone was simply telling a story; wasn't his roundabout way of saying that he was hinting at whether she wanted to join him?

She believed that Pantalone must have deeper plans that only he himself knew, but since he dared to be honest with her about these things, this must only be the tip of the iceberg in his plan.

But she had to admit that Pantalone's story had successfully piqued her interest.

She could, of course, ignore Pantalone's plagiarism of his ideas and go it alone.

But since he dared to come looking for her like this, it must mean that he needs her strength. From another perspective, this must mean he is absolutely certain that she cannot work alone without him, so he is sure she will not refuse.

Although she wanted to say that she was capable of doing all of this independently even without your help.

However, considering the interesting story he had brought her, she decided to accept his invitation.

The puppet girl gently brushed a strand of khaki hair behind her ear.

“I really enjoyed your story, and I have agreed to your request to borrow the puppet.”

"Thank you for your help, it's an honor."

Pantalone, on the other hand, didn't think that much about it; he simply felt that it was wonderful that Sandone was willing to help him.

After all, he had already prepared himself to be turned away and to go through a lot of trouble to get others to offer him help, so it was really great that he succeeded on the first try.

Arecino really gave him a good suggestion.

Next time, I'll give her a gift to thank her for her excellent answer.

"However, since I have agreed to your request, as allies in the same camp, I believe that some honesty between comrades is necessary. May I ask why you need to borrow the puppet from me?"

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, a remark from Sandoni made him pause.

He then pondered for a while and realized that Sandoni was right.

Since the other party had already offered him help, he should naturally reciprocate with honesty. So, with a sincere smile on his face, he answered Sandoni's question very honestly.

"This is part of the plan."

Is it part of the plan?

It seems she guessed right.

Looking at the warm and inviting smile on Pantalone's face, she felt she had found her answer.

Sure enough, this ambitious man with a head full of 'grand plans' was planning something extraordinary.

However, it's quite interesting.

With these thoughts and ideas in mind, Sandonne returned the same smile.

"Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Chapter 4 I've seen through your plan!

"My lord 'Servant,' we've learned that Lord Pantalone, 'The Rich,' recently visited Lord 'Puppet.' This intelligence was submitted by our informant among the other executives. Please take a look."

An intelligence agent in a red military uniform respectfully handed the intelligence in his hand to the tall woman in the silver-gray coat in front of him.

After receiving the intelligence submitted by her subordinate, her crimson, crossed eyes flickered slightly.

"Regarding the 'Intelligent Combat Autonomous Humanoid Project' planning proposal? That guy actually went to find 'Puppet'?"

Arecino murmured to herself, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

The Fools are not a monolithic group; the executives are divided into factions, and almost everyone has their own ideas.

As one of the lower-ranking executives among the many executives, she often planted spies as intelligence agents to obtain firsthand information for her.

This will help her keep abreast of the situation of other executives and will also help improve her reputation among the Fools' executives.

This is so that she can gain a higher position and carry out her plans. That is why she will be more concerned about how to maximize her own interests.

As an egoist, she focuses on immediate interests. She doesn't care about the other executives, but if it involves her own interests, she will pay attention to the other executives, not to mention the "rich man" she doesn't get along with.

She wouldn't mind doing so if hindering other executives' plans would bring her personal gain.

"My lord, please forgive my intrusion, but I have something to say."

Aregino, lost in her own thoughts, returned to reality. Looking at the intelligence agent who was asking her to speak, she spoke calmly.

"Just say what you want to say."

"Thank you for the opportunity, sir."

He first lowered his head and replied with this sentence, then took a deep breath and said.

"I think this might be a good opportunity to enhance your reputation, regardless of what 'Rich Man' Pantalone intends to do, as long as you can refute him at the executive meeting and prove your abilities."

This will undoubtedly be a huge boost to your reputation, and will further increase your influence among the Fools. With this increased reputation, you'll be able to allocate larger sums of funds from the Northern Bank to better support your plans. That's my opinion.

After listening to the advice of his intelligence agents, Arecino's eyes showed a slight change of emotion.
