Meeting Gerald's expectant gaze, he managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"You, you should show me a preliminary design drawing first."

"No problem, I can do it right now."

Before he finished speaking, Gerald opened the terminal and got busy.

Looking at his energetic appearance, Bridget couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at Louis.

Sang Ning and the others exchanged a glance upon seeing her look, their meaning unspoken.

This definitely means Gerald's design was flawed.

A bad feeling rose in Louis's heart. He said, "Madam, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is your husband's taste?"

"Normal aesthetic sense."

Bridget stated firmly, "You can rest assured about the aesthetics, but..."

Upon hearing this, Louis suddenly felt short of breath.

"But what?"

"You know, he has a lot of ingenious ideas, you have to be mentally prepared."

Louis, "!!!"

Sure enough, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted.

Why bother with the design? Just reject it outright.

The thought of what had happened before making it hard for Louis to breathe.

"Calm down. Just because you haven't reached an agreement doesn't mean you have to follow his plan. You can refuse."

Sang Ning, who was sitting next to him, noticed that his breathing was not right. She looked over in surprise and was shocked to see that Louis looked as if he had suffered an unbearable pain in his life.

So he comforted her, saying, "You can just refuse, you're not short of money."

Yeah, I'm not short of money, why would I make myself look so humble?

Sang Ning's words struck Louis like a thunderbolt. Louis thought about it and realized it made sense, instantly feeling like he had come back to life.

“You’re right, I’ll take a look at the design first before deciding whether to take the order.”

Luo Tianya glanced at him and said sarcastically, "I'm afraid your design isn't even as good as Mr. Gerald's."

Mu Tao almost wanted to kneel down before him. What's wrong with this guy? How come he still likes to criticize Louis even after being away from the desolate planet for so long?

"Do you still want your mecha?"

Seeing that Luo Tianya was about to argue again, Mu Tao quickly nudged him and reminded him in what she thought was a quiet voice, but which everyone could hear.

Louis, who was originally about to retort, chuckled upon hearing this and looked at Luo Tianya with a smile, saying, "You want me to customize a mecha?"

"Bullshit, I'm just... *sounds like*"

A large hand suddenly appeared and covered his mouth. Mu Tao said angrily, "You can be foul-mouthed all you want, but if you cause me to be unable to customize the mecha, we'll break off our friendship."

Luo Tianya's eyes widened suddenly. Was he kidding? They were actually willing to break off their friendship over a giant mecha peach?

We promised to be best brothers for life.

fraud!

As if knowing what he was thinking, Mu Tao chuckled, "You dare say you don't want the mecha Louis made?"

"Do you dare say that if Louis agrees to take the order, you could resist the allure of the mechs he creates?"

"You dare say..."

Several questions left Luo Tianya speechless, and his imposing aura also subsided.

The onlookers laughed when they saw him like this.

I couldn't refuse.

Qin Heng sighed, "Da Ya Zi, why do you always have to be so sarcastic? If I remember correctly, you and Louis don't actually have any major conflicts."

"really."

Clyde agreed, adding, "A real man should be more mature, not some immature brat."

"Louis never bothered with you."

Louis puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I am the father of bio-mechanicals, after all, I won't stoop to Big Tooth's level."

Then he asked Luo Tianya, "Da Yazi, do you want the mecha? Want to settle things?"

Luo Tianya, "!!!"

What does it mean to kill someone in one shot?

That's what you call a one-shot kill.

The allure of mechs was too great; he wanted them, desperately wanted them.

Especially the mechs created by the father of bio-mechs, even if they are not bio-mechs.

After all, even the most basic standard version of the mechs made by Louis suited his taste better than the mechs made by other mech makers.

He pulled Mu Tao's hand away and said urgently, "Are you sure you'll make me a mecha if I reconcile with you?"

Louis hummed in agreement. "Of course, I'm not as petty as you. But even if I agree, I still have to pay. My mecha isn't free."

Luo Tianya didn't intend to give it away for free, mainly because the mecha was too expensive.

He might be willing to give away cheap items for free, but he wouldn't dare accept mechs that cost hundreds of millions or even billions, even if Louis were willing to give them to him for free.

"Just go by the market price."

"Okay, we can discuss the specific details later."

Luo Tianya nodded, and Gerald suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "The overview map is finished."

As he spoke, he tapped his fingers a few times on the terminal.

Then, a holographic overview image popped up on the terminal screen and floated in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at the overview map, and it would have been better if they hadn't looked. Sang Ning spat out the water she had just drunk, and Qin Yan and the others were dumbfounded.

After a long pause, Monet trembled and asked, "What is this? Is it a fish that cheated on its owner with a bird, or a bird that cheated on its owner with a snake?"

"This is the mythical beast mecha I designed."

Gerald spoke eloquently, "Look at this fish's body; it represents the enormous fish in the classic Chinese mythology of the Classic of Mountains and Seas—a fish so large it couldn't fit in a single stew..."

"That's a Kunpeng."

Sang Ning corrected.

Gerald said, "That's not important. What's important is that this overview perfectly expresses my inner thoughts."

As he spoke, he began to talk at length about his design philosophy, intentions, and so on.

Watching him speak eloquently, even spitting as he got excited, the crowd finally understood what Bridget meant when she said he had many ingenious ideas.

This is not just a lot of ingenious ideas, it's so many that it's completely unacceptable.

Sang Ning and the others turned to look at Louis, and sure enough, the guy was now in a state of collapse.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

His hands, resting on his knees, clenched into fists uncontrollably, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

This is extreme anger.

Gerald continued speaking, but Louis could no longer hold back.

He said, "Shut up."

Gerald, engrossed in conversation, either didn't hear him or heard him but chose not to listen, refusing to try to persuade Louis to continue with his own ideas.

"Shut up or I'm not taking any more orders."

Upon hearing this, Gerald immediately fell silent, like a duck whose fate had been seized by the throat.

"Your overview diagram is not good."

Louis calmly said, "Now I'll give you two choices: one, follow my design, and I'll take your order."

"Second: If you insist on your own opinion and follow your design, I will refuse the order and you can go find someone else."

He spread his hands and said, "Choose one, I'll wait for your answer."
