"How did you do it?"
"It's simple. Just change the installation principle a bit." Bonnie gave him a brief explanation of the essential points. "Of course, I've only made a quick modification for you to see the effect. More detailed improvements are needed to achieve what I mentioned earlier."
"The fact that you could modify it like this is already impressive." Ivor was sincerely impressed by Bonnie's capabilities. "After this situation is resolved, I'd like to formally invite you to our organization to help modify our secret weapon. You can name your price and conditions, and I'll try to meet them."
His eyes were full of sincerity, showing his genuine intention to invite Bonnie to their organization.
Floyd observed this exchange, feeling a sense of admiration. His boss and Mr. Boyd were top-tier experts in their fields and were naturally competitive. But now, their boss was won over by the sheer skill of the Nidhogg leader. It was truly remarkable.
"Since you're willing to give me your organization's secret weapon, I'll consider your proposal. But only when I have the time. Otherwise, it's not on my priority list," Bonnie said. She thought that once she finished these tasks, her top priority would be to return to find Ivor, and all secondary matters would have to wait.
Ivor nodded. "No problem. Thank you in advance."
"You're welcome." Bonnie waved dismissively, tossing the gun back to Ivor, and yawned lazily. "Is everything demonstrated now? If so, you can leave. I need to get some sleep."
"It's all demonstrated." Ivor's attitude towards Bonnie had noticeably softened. "I'll take them back now."
As they were leaving, Yasmine clung to Bonnie's arm reluctantly. "My savior, can't you consider taking me with you?"
Bonnie gently pulled her arm free. "No. Taking two people is too risky. I'll go alone."
Seeing Bonnie's determination, Yasmine sniffled. "Okay then. When you enter Billy’s organization, please be careful and not get hurt. I'd be sad if you did."
Yasmine clung tightly to Bonnie's arm, her eyes full of concern. Her genuine care moved Bonnie, and she patted her head reassuringly. "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to me."
Yasmine's eyes widened with joy when she felt Bonnie's touch on her head, "My savior, you touched me? You touched me?"
Her words were so misleading that Bonnie's mouth twitched. She quickly withdrew her hand. "Don't get the wrong idea. I just wanted to comfort you and thank you for worrying about me. That's all."
After doing it, she also felt it was inappropriate. She had already noticed Yasmine's growing feelings for her, something Collin had also pointed out. In such a situation, patting her head could send the wrong signal.
Seeing Yasmine's pitiful expression, Bonnie didn't know why she acted impulsively. In hindsight, she should have restrained herself.
She thought Yasmine might be upset by her clarification. Instead, Yasmine remained overjoyed and clung to Bonnie's arm again, rubbing her shoulder affectionately. "My savior, your comfort makes me so happy! Even though you're the one facing danger, you're still comforting me. You're so kind!"
