YM778.TV Chapter 20 Black Rose
"Can I sit here?" Arthur asked as he arrived behind the chair opposite Amanda.
The Asian woman and the black woman who were each sitting by her side glanced at each other, looking unsure what kind of expression they should show. The problem in their eyes wasn\'t Arthur\'s actions, but his age.
Amanda took a moment before she answered, "please sit down!"
She stretched her hand forward, motioning for Arthur to sit down.
"Isabel, I didn\'t expect that your nephew was such a brave young man," Charlotte said when she saw Arthur immediately sit down after getting Amanda\'s permission.
"There is no doubt, he is a natural predator," said Mia.
"Mia, don\'t say that, I\'m sure he\'s not like that," Chu Yueli replied, rebuking Mia.
However, Mia didn\'t heed her rebuke, she looked at Isabel and said "I believe your nephew is very suitable to be a celebrity, how about he follow me while I\'m here to study."
"Huhh!" Isabel snorted softly in response. "Firstly, my nephew is a good man, and secondly, he won\'t be as much of an entertainer as you."
"What\'s wrong with an entertainer? He\'s going to earn a lot of money, have fame so he can do a lot of things that other people can only dream of."
"Why should he be an entertainer when he can have all of that without being one?" Isabel smiled disdainfully at Mia.
Her words attracted the interest of the other women.
"What do you want to say, Isabel?" asked Anna who had just sat down again.
This time, Isabel did not answer. She turned her attention to her phone, signaling that she didn\'t want to talk about it anymore.
The others, especially the men were naturally more shocked, some even looked like they wanted to scream at Arthur, but restrained themselves not wanting to spoil their image at this party, they were ultimately not at the level where they could make a fuss. What if Isabel gets angry and interferes with their business with her authority? That would be a very serious problem.
"So what do you want?" Amanda asked Arthur, she didn\'t comment on the difference between him now and then.
At the same time, several waiters came, placing the dishes on their table. Arthur waited for them to leave before replying "actually I was planning to meet you tomorrow with your sister, but since we happened to meet here I\'ll just say it here."
"Oh..." Amanda held her chin, looking more interested.
She really looks like Bella, both face and demeanor. Maybe it was because of her age and experience that she seemed more shrewd.
"I have some offers for you," Arthur continued.
Right after that, the black woman, Kaiya, said, "You\'re not speaking for your aunt, are you?"
Some corrupt officials often invite businessmen to cooperate. They will give them the project on the condition of sharing the profits.
Of course, Isabel had never done anything of the sort. Arthur immediately shook his head. He replied, "My aunt is a good official and I am not so poor that I need to take state money."
"You\'re just a high school student, what can you offer?" asked the Asian woman, Lin. She showed obvious doubt.
"Very promising business, of course," replied Arthur with his eyes fixed on Amanda. "I will prepare the product while you prepare the capital and management. 85% for me and 15% for you!"
"Cough!" The women coughed involuntarily. Even Amanda lost her cool at Arthur\'s words.
"You\'re not talking about cancer medicine, are you?" Amanda said as if holding back a laugh.
"Cancer medicine?" Arthur suddenly looked thoughtful. "Yeah, it\'s a bit difficult, but still possible after some research. Maybe later, for now, I\'ll provide a simpler product first."
"You\'re not crazy, are you?" Kaiya asked.
Arthur of course ignored her, he was still looking at Amanda who at first seemed to want to laugh but maybe because of Arthur\'s serious expression, her expression also gradually became serious.
"Alright Arthur, I\'m not the type to think other people are stupid, my question now is; can you prove your words?" She asked.
Arthur smiled faintly and he nodded with a complimenting expression. "I know you\'re a smart woman, that\'s why I chose you as a business partner."
The way he spoke looked like a senior praising a junior, it made Amanda\'s lips twitch.
Before Amanda and the two women by her side could respond, he stood up and continued. "My words will naturally prove true when the time comes, you just need to wait and make preparations. By the way, Bella said you were interested in raising tigers. If you really want to I can help you tame them."
In the middle of his words, Arthur put his right hand behind his back and when he finished speaking, he moved that hand forward again.
However, this time, the hand wasn\'t empty, it was holding a black rose that was still very fresh.
People were wondering where he got it and where he had hidden it.
Under their confused stares, he tucked the rose stem next to Amanda\'s ear.
"This rose will not die as long as I don\'t die, consider it as a gift for you," he said before walking away.
His words were a little louder so they spread across the place, making the women awed to the point of believing his words and forgetting the fact that there wasn\'t a rose that wouldn\'t die within a few days.
Of course, he wasn\'t lying because the rose was created from his spiritual energy.
With the thousands of spells he mastered plus his Spiritual Core that could transform into various elements, he was naturally able to create various plants. Even creating branches of agarwood was something he could do. It just required too much energy because the process for creating complex plants was also very complicated, which was why it wasn\'t a suitable choice if he wanted to trade.
However, creating one as an example of the product is not that difficult. He just chose to postpone it because now there is no need. He thought of showing it to her when William had all his orders ready so she had no hesitation in spending money.
