Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

In contrast, Sandorne, as an engineering consultant, was a thorough engineer, and only Sandorne, as an engineer, could and would agree to help Pantalone complete his commission.

This is another reason why Pantalone did not choose to seek help from "The Doctor" and instead entrusted the task to "The Doctor".

Pantalone, as a guest, was not embarrassed by the teasing from "Puppet". He simply watched Sandone's figure calmly and explained his purpose with a smile.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. I don’t deny Dotole’s abilities, but I think you would do a better job. After all, among all the people I know, you are the only one with the ability to accomplish this.”

“In my eyes, Dotole is my friend, but you are also my friend. In some ways, you are more worthy of my trust than Dotole, Sandone.”

This wasn't the kind of talk she used with other people; at least when she said it, Pantalone was sincere and didn't have any intention of lying.

Although his relationship with Dottore seems to be among the best of all the executives.

As one of the people who knows Dotore best, Pantalone understands better than anyone that in the heart of the man known as "The Doctor," he is capable of betraying even himself if the price offered is high enough.

From this perspective, the "Doctor" was not wrong in saying that Pantalone was just like him on several occasions.

In other words, it was precisely because he and Dotole were so similar that they were able to become friends.

However, it is also because they are too similar that an invisible barrier exists between them, a bottom line that neither he nor Torre would ever back down from.

If they were to back down in the face of that bottom line, then they wouldn't be who they are.

From this perspective, compared to the "Doctor" who has his own scales to weigh the pros and cons, this is why Pantalone said that Sandone is more trustworthy than Dotole.

"You're still as eloquent as ever, Pantalone. Should I say... you truly are a capitalist and a politician?"

Upon hearing Pantalone's reply, Sandone chuckled softly, picked up the girl's afternoon tea, and looked at Pantalone as she began to enjoy it.

"However, I don't dislike such words. I'll accept your compliment. Now tell me what you intend for me to do."

"Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted you to help me with this. It shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

After seeing that Sandoni had relented, Pantalone then took out a plan and handed it to Sandoni.

Sandone, looking at the plan that Pantalone had handed him, picked up the plan that was on the table and began to examine it.

After reading the proposal submitted by Pantalone, Sandone's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he looked at Pantalone and said something odd.

"Are you serious about this proposal?"

The plan that Pantalone presented to Sandone was none other than the same plan he had previously submitted to the "clown," who was the chief executive and CEO of the Fools, based on the 'escape plan'.

However, compared to the version he initially submitted to "The Clown," the plan that Pantalone now submits to Sandone clearly has a little more content.

Pantalone smiled slightly as he looked at Sandoni with a questioning gaze, as if he were serious.

"A project plan based on the 'Escape Plan' for the mass production of 'living metal' in preparation for the final plan, and a database for storing life information."

"The plan itself was approved by the chief, and even the 'clown' approved it, so there's nothing that can't be done."

"But you obviously haven't revealed everything, have you? If what you're planning to do were exposed, do you think others would agree to your plan?"

"If others were to find out that such a huge hidden danger had been left in the 'mechanical prosthetics' of 'living metal,' then you would undoubtedly be ostracized and attacked by everyone."

Sandonne met the eyes of the figure before him, staring at him with an aura no less imposing than Pantalone's, and spoke.

Yes, the mandate that Pantalone entrusted to Sandone in the plan was none other than that entrusted to her.

It was precisely by leaving Sandone a backup plan in the 'prosthetic body' he created using 'living metal' that he could seize control when the time was right.

She wasn't particularly surprised by Pantalone's proposed upgrade plan for 'mechanical prosthetics'.

In a sense, what Pantalone asked her to do was exactly what she had originally expected.

What truly surprised her was that Pantalone would allow her to leave a detail on the 'prosthetic body' she was creating, so that he could seize control at the appropriate time.

It is clear that Pantalone did not explain this matter to anyone else, and its application was a private plan of Pantalone. That is why Sandone was surprised that Pantalone dared to propose such a design.

After hearing Sandone's words, Pantalone did not panic after his true thoughts were revealed.

He simply wore that calm smile as always, looking at Sandoni with a gentle smile.

"Of course, so the answer to this question actually lies within yourself, doesn't it? You've left a backdoor program in every piece of your work to manipulate and modify it."

"..."

Upon hearing Pantalone's words, Sandoni fell silent for a moment.

After hearing what Pantalone said, she understood another reason why Pantalone had come to find her.

Or perhaps it was because Pantalone knew that she had left a backdoor in her work.

That's why the other party said she was more trustworthy than "Doctor".

That's why the other party said that only she could do this.

After realizing this, Sandone stared at Pantalone with a slightly displeased expression and clicked his tongue. Then, he gently put down his afternoon tea and said...

“I suddenly realize that you are still the same despicable capitalist and politician as ever, rather than the gentleman who praises the lady.”

"Don't put it so harshly. This is a necessary lesson for wealthy businessmen and politicians who are hiding in the depths of winter. I have not lied at all about trusting you."

Pantalone rested his hands on the table with his fingers interlaced, smiling as he looked at Sandone.

His words were overflowing with sincerity.

However, Sandonne completely ignored all this sincerity. As a pure researcher who devoted herself to her research, she was least interested in the sincerity of capitalists and politicians like Pantalone.
