"Watson, if you say you can do it, show us how you made that potion. Do not worry. I will assist you in paying for the materials required for that potion, whatever it may be."
When Augustus heard Watson's promise, his expression became increasingly sinister.
He was afraid that if Watson disagreed, he would face King Landhar III's punishment. Regardless of who it was, forcing Watson to develop a difficult-to-achieve potion would be a difficult task. Watson was also the kingdom's strongest genius. Even if King Landhar III imprisoned Watson, he might be released after a while.
It would have been different if Watson had made the promise in front of so many people. Watson could not go back on his word. If he broke his word, it would be a slap in the face to both himself and King Landhar III. King Landhar III might increase the punishment in his rage, and Watson's penalty might even change from imprisonment to death.
