Volume 1: Chapter 3

"I want to create a contract between us" Greg said, he didn't want to beat around the bush. It's better to head straight into the real conversation and part.

Smith choked on the coffee he drank. He coughed and laughed at the boy. "Do you even know what your saying?" Smith asked curiously.

"Yes I do" Greg opened his red backpack and took a contract, he gave the contract to Smith.

Smith adjusted his suit and read the contract, which was very absurd. "Boy, you don't know anything about contracts. 8:2 and I'm the two, no one in the world will sign this" Smith said the other parts written on the contract was good, but the distribution between the earned money is absurd.

"But you will" Greg said, he knew what Smith wanted and Greg just gave such opportunity. Even though he's not Howard he is he's son.

Smith didn't answer and laughed, what he see is an innocent boy trying to get he's first deal.

"Boy, look you have a huge time on your plates and I admire your courage. But I'm not going to sign this contract" Smith said.

Greg rummaged his backpack, and gave many papers to Smith.

Smith curiously read what was written. He jolted in surprise, Smith looked at the child.

"Can we talk seriously now?" Greg asked giving a confident smirk plastered on his cute face.

Smith gulped down real hard, even though he only read the first part it is enough to amass thousands of fans in the whole world.

"Yes why don't we talk somewhere else" Smith said 'A genius has emerged'.

Greg nodded, they both walked outside of stark industries and went into the parking lot.

"Did you write this?" Smith asked.

"Yes I did" Greg said with sheer pride on his creation, the manuscript that he gave to Smith is none other than 'Lord of the rings'.

"The story is remarkable even though I only read the first part, I am sure that this will amass millions, no billions of readers out there" Smith exclaimed.

"Let's cut the chase, I'll have 8 while you have 2" Greg said.

"What, but that's absurd. Do you know that I'll have to make thousands of copies just for this?" Smith said, he's company is still new he will go bankrupt if this happen.

"You read the story and you know that it has immense potential" Greg said.

"Well. Yes" Smith couldn't retort, smith has been an author before creating his own company so he knew what sort of wealth and fame the story could reach.

"If you can't provide me with what I want, then I'll find another publishing company that does" Greg said.

"Fine, how about 7:3?" Smith said.

"Hmmm. Alright this is a favor since your sweating like a cow" Greg said and nodded his head. The two shook hands with each other.

"Brother there you are!" Tony shouted in rage, he and Howard with the guards looked for Greg everywhere they searched the security camera's and found out he was actually in the parking lot.

"You have a lot of explaining to do young man" Howard said.

"Sorry dad" Greg drooped down while Howard reprimanded him with tony.

Smith looked at Greg. "Dad?", Smith muttered silently.
