Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family

Chapter 953  Customized

Michael thanked Romeo for his information. Though, he should really have thanked Lady Farren, as she was the only one who could have made him become such a chatterbox.

“Tomorrow is the official start of the Lunar Celebrations. I am sure that at least one of those people I mentioned will attend to witness the Archery Competition. I shall point them out to you if it’s possible,” Romeo offered.

“That would be helpful,” Michael replied.

Lady Farren then turned to Michael. “Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend myself due to some business that I have to attend to. But I will send some Elves to help with the competition as we discussed.”

Of course, since it was an Archery Competition, who should he have asked aside from the Beastfolk race famous for their ability to draw a bow? He was sure that Sheina would be able to take care of the Lower Bracket involving Maugnetics in the 1st to 5th stage. But the Brownblood Werewolves had no one to send out in the Upper Brackets. That was where the Elves came in.

“I shall text you the details,” Lady Farren said, flashing her mobile phone subconsciously.

“What’s that?”

Lady Farren froze in her spot, unable to answer.

“Such a peculiar looking metal object. A brick? Why does it have glass on it, and how is it glowing like that?”

Romeo Flameheart could feel his innate Draconian hoarder gene start to flare up. Whenever he was staring at something that was unique, rare, and valuable, he immediately wanted to take it for himself.

Some even say that this ‘instinct’ that the Draconians had were veritable parameters that predicted when something was truly of value. And right now, this ‘phone’ was activating this instinct of his like blood on water!

“Is that… how?!” Yuna gasped to herself. She immediately recognized the design of the object as one of those vintage keyboard/trackpad phones back in her previous life!

“This is a phone,” Lady Farren explained. “It is made by the Reborn company and has all of these features.”

She began to introduce the apps to Romeo, who watched the screen with bated breaths as it flashed and changed as if it was magic. Except, it wasn’t! It was more akin to a reflection on water, but with a lot more clarity and with not a reflection at all!

“THIS! Are you telling me that this phone can communicate with other phones?!”

Michael nodded. “Precisely.”

“Sir Keo. You are a part of this Reborn company, are you not?”

“Uh… I am…”

Romeo kneeled in front of him, surprising Yuna and Lady Farren. For most people, this gesture seemed like nothing more than an excessive form of respect or even veneration.

But when put into context the culture of Draconians, then it was a completely different thing!

For Draconians to kneel and show submission to someone was akin to someone voluntarily chaining themselves to a wall and becoming someone’s pet!

Of course, this was an exaggeration, but Draconians treated it with the same seriousness.

“I, Romeo Flameheart, am willing to become a loyal steed for you sir Keo, and the Reborn company.”

Michael, completely taken aback, was left speechless. A steed? Like, a horse?

It wasn’t until Yuna explained it to him did he finally get what Romeo was trying to say.

“He wants to be in an alliance with you.”

“Oh…”

“They use the ‘steed’ terminology because it’s supposed to be an uncomfortable affair for a Draconian. The fact that he is willing to say that shows how much he takes this seriously,” she explained.

“…why?” he asked Romeo.

“Draconians have a keen sense, sir Keo. And I believe that allying myself with you and this Reborn company will be the best choice I will ever make,” Romeo said with ardent fervor.

Michael wanted to question his logic, but realized that it was actually in character with Romeo’s romantic tendencies.

Without even meeting her, Romeo fell in love with Lady Farren and pursued her with excessive zeal.

And now, he seemed to have seen something in this phone that made him ‘fall in love’ with the company.

Wow… I guess a Draconians’ instinct is kind of like my Golden Nose.

“I mean, I’m not going to turn away an alliance from a Draconian,” Michael shrugged.

“GREAT! Now, would it be at all possible for me to obtain a phone like that?” Romeo said, his entreating eyes glistening like a dog’s.

Since he had just obtained six more Unity Clones, Michael was more confident in taking orders.

“Sure,” he said. “Each phone costs—”

But before he could even say anything, Romeo immediately lunged at Michael and shook his shoulders.

“I’ll take it! I will pay you a million Sand Dollars!”

Michael’s eyes widened, wanting to say something but was once again interrupted.

“But, I want mine to be completely unique. I want it to conform exactly to my standards of romanticism. I think that a million Sand Dollars will be enough to fulfill that promise, don’t you think?”

Sure, a completely customized phone needed a lot more work, but he was unsure if it was 100x more worth than a normal phone.

Still, when it came to rich and eccentric clientele, it was less about the price and more about the fact that they could afford it. A bragging right.

So if Romeo wanted to severely overpay for a phone, then it was his decision.

Michael wouldn’t deny such a gift.

“I want a phone that shows my complete and utter dedication to my beloved, my sweet and wonderful Farren…”

In short, Romeo wanted a phone that could only communicate to one number, Lady Farren’s number. His phone could only talk to her phone, and only her phone could talk to his.

Lady Farren shook her head in exasperation. “If you waste money on such idiotic things, then I am afraid I cannot be with you…”

In the end, a compromise was made. Romeo’s phone ended up having a customized wallpaper and case dedicated to Lady Farren.

“Amazing! Even my sister will be envious of such a unique treasure!”
