Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 205: Sorry, Lylia.
"A! No, that's not right. Perhaps having an A-rank hero would be too ordinary for you. I could offer you an S-rank Machine system hero; however, at the moment, I haven't been able to research a hero that strong yet."
"But an A-rank hero has a high success rate. At that point, whether it succeeds would depend only on your luck."
Noan furrowed his brow, speaking softly: "Why do you want to go against the Government and the Empire?"
"I don't want to go against them. I just want to destroy the Frankyro clan," Billy said earnestly.
Noan, hearing this, was even more confused, but then he suddenly realised which clan Billy was referring to.
Isn't that the clan of Jankos?
At that moment, Noan was certain of his suspicion. Fate was manipulating everything, and in the end, the battle between him and Jankos would have to begin.
However, fortunately, Noan had Vylyss helping him. Now, it wasn't just a battle between him and Jankos but between two forces.
Jankos would soon be manipulated by Vylyss, causing chaos within the Frankyro clan.
But Noan didn't want to reveal this to Billy. After all, Billy had his own large research centre, and Noan needed to extract all the benefits from Billy.
"That clan is not small. Their power has even influenced the Federation Government and the Empire," Noan said with a frown.
Earlier this morning, when meeting with Lylia, she had shared some information about Jankos's clan.
That was also why Lylia's family pressured her to marry Jankos.
"I naturally know that, which is why I've prepared all of this," Billy said with a smile.
"If my research is successful, even if the Government and the Empire join in on this war, I won't be afraid."
Seeing Billy's confidence, Noan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Just how terrifying was the grudge that pushed Billy down this irreversible path?
However, Noan didn't care to learn about it. He only needed to know that Billy could bring him many benefits, and that was enough.
As for the battle with Jankos's clan, Noan knew it would come someday.
Fate had already orchestrated it, forcing him and Jankos to face each other. Even if he tried to avoid it, the outcome wouldn't change.
If avoidance was not an option, then he would stir the waters to turn it into a giant whirlpool, sucking everyone in and crushing them.
"But what you're asking me to do doesn't seem related to your revenge on the Frankyro clan, right?"
"Kekeke…" Billy laughed, saying, "Of course, it's not just a few small matters. However, the experiment must be done step by step, with each step solid and firm. Otherwise, everything will collapse quickly."
"Good! I'll cooperate with you," Noan said, smiling, and then extended his hand.
Billy also happily shook hands with Noan: "Hahaha… It's a pleasure to cooperate. Don't worry, I certainly won't betray you. We're both in the same boat, and if the boat capsizes, neither of us will have a good outcome."
"I understand," Noan said, understanding the hidden meaning in Billy's words.
It wasn't just a statement of goodwill for cooperation, but also a threat.
Billy was implying that he would drag Noan down with him if he failed.
However, that would still depend on Noan's strength at that time.
If Noan had enough time, even if the attack on the Frankyro clan failed, he could easily leave or escape to the 'Singularity Point.'
"Good! But right now, I also need your help," Noan said, frowning.
"Hahaha… Of course, I know what you need. Everything has been placed in the warehouse; you can take it anytime. Even if you take everything, I don't mind," Billy said generously.
"It's just… about the A-rank Machine system hero, do you have any requirements? But I must tell you in advance, this is just a theoretical model. If, when we get to that world, this hero doesn't work, don't blame me."
Noan nodded and said, "I understand, but… is it possible for me to take more? Three or five A-rank Machine system heroes."
"This…" Billy frowned. Although Noan's request for three or five heroes surprised him, it was within his expectations.
He also heard Austin say that over half of the items would be lost when transferring goods from the City to the Chaos World.
Because of this, Billy could guess Noan's intention in wanting so many heroes.
"It's possible, but I'll need more time," Billy replied.
Noan nodded in response. He wanted to test a bit of his hypothesis. If the experiment was successful, he could create a more terrifying monster than Billy could have imagined.
"I can only give you five days. If not, let's consider that we never met," Noan said, not allowing Billy to take the initiative. Therefore, he directly set a limit for Billy.
Billy, who had fought in the business world for many years, naturally understood Noan's intentions.
But the more exceptional Noan's performance was, the more exhausted Billy felt. This wasn't related to their cooperation but rather… to Austin.
Billy glanced at Austin with a confused expression, feeling even more exhausted inside.
If only his son could be half of what Noan was, he wouldn't have to struggle alone like this.
Alright! Billy didn't expect much. After all, Austin was a lucky star; his ability to attract good fortune was good.
"I understand," Billy nodded and said, "In five days, I'll surprise you. I hope you can treat my son a little better."
"Don't worry, I'll protect him in that world, and won't encounter any danger," Noan said sincerely.
Of course, Austin wouldn't be in danger. After all, Austin was a lucky star; wherever he went, he would find opportunities. Noan would certainly not let this lucky star die early.
At the very least, Noan would drain all the benefits from Austin.
After talking a bit more, Austin led Noan to the warehouse.
Once again, he had made great gains, so his two 'Storage Spaces' with 99 slots were nearly full.
Fortunately, he still had a few space stones that Carlotta had given him, so he wasn't too worried.
'If only I had one more Storage Space, that would be great. Then I could store even more,' Noan sighed inwardly.
In addition, he was also glad that the building resources were all placed inside a card called the Resource Card.
This card type was very popular among the Landlords because it made transactions much easier.
After buying and selling, one only needed to bring it to the Landlord's area, activate the system, and it would be able to collect the resources inside the card.
But these cards had become nearly useless ever since the rookie Landlords entered the Chaos Zone.
No one could bring anything into that world, not even Resource Cards like these. But Noan was different, which could save a lot of space in his 'Storage Space.'

After collecting the resources, Noan left the research centre.
At that moment, Billy stood at the door, watching Noan's car drive away, muttering, "I hope this move, I've chosen the right side in this game."
…
Noan had originally planned to drive to pick up Noralia, but he received a message from Lylia saying that Noralia had gone home long ago.
He was somewhat surprised, but the message clearly stated that Noralia had felt unwell when she arrived at the meeting point, so she took a taxi home right after that.
Noan sighed, feeling that something was strange. But… he didn't know exactly what was strange. Ultimately, he didn't want to think about it anymore and decided to drive back.
While Noan was puzzled, Noralia also felt both embarrassed and confused.
After arriving home, she immediately rushed into her bedroom to change clothes.
Noralia looked at the underwear that had gotten wet, feeling incredibly embarrassed, and tears suddenly began to fall: "What the hell am I doing?"
"Mom! Are you okay?" Lylia's voice came from outside: "I texted Noan. Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing Lylia's voice, Noralia felt deeply guilty for having those strange thoughts about her daughter's boyfriend.
Noralia took a deep breath, then said, "I… I'm fine, just a bit tired. I… I… I need to rest for a while."
"Ah! Okay! Mom, if you need anything, just let me know."
"I know!"
Hearing Lylia's footsteps grow fainter, Noralia breathed a sigh of relief.
She pulled the blanket up, covering her body except for her head, her face flushed with embarrassment. She then bit her lip, her expression full of complexity.
"Sorry, Lylia."
