Returning From The Magic World

Chapter 442  New York

The princess is very popular, not only in Europe, but all over the world. Perhaps she is the most popular of all the princesses.

It is well-deserved due to her above-average beauty plus her elegant demeanor whenever her videos appear on social media.

Who is the Prince of Monaco whose identity is not yet known?

Arthur felt it was him because the old man talked about getting engaged to the princess the last time they met.

"What are you thinking about?" Amanda couldn't help but ask when she saw Arthur's silence.

For her this was a good thing because she would be annoyed if the most popular princess entered Arthur's Harem.

However, seeing Arthur's expression somehow made her think something was wrong, something she didn't know and couldn't guess no matter how she thought.

"Nothing!" Arthur shook his head, choosing not to answer because it would only disturb Amanda's mind more in this situation.

Amanda in the end chose not to continue talking about it because she didn't want to be distracted either.

She then picked up a box containing various snacks including coffee.

"Let's eat," she said, placing the box on the table between her and Arthur.

It had been a long journey of course.

However, the sky didn't seem to change as they got further west, still looking like the morning sky.

In fact it was now indeed morning in the area where they were. It was following them and they most likely arrived in the United States while it was still morning.

Their destination was New York, a city said to be the home of people with big dreams.

Arthur had never been there, and of course he had no acquaintances at all.

However, he had told Isla that he was coming to the city. She immediately replied that she was also going there to meet him.

A few hours later, Arthur finally saw New York City through the window.

It looked enormous from above, instantly giving the impression of a concrete jungle.

The sky was even full of airplanes, from small ones to very large ones, queuing up to land at its airport.

Amanda's private jet circled around the airport for about 20 minutes before finally landing.

It was such a long journey that even Arthur felt a little tired, not physically tired, but tired of being in the same place doing nothing.

If he was practicing magic, he was at least doing something.

When the plane stopped, Amanda immediately put on her sunglasses.

She stood up without waiting for the pilot to come out of the control room.

"Let's go," she said to Arthur.

She opened the jet's door herself.

Arthur just followed her, they walked into the airport terminal which was completely full of people.

Much to Arthur's surprise, he suddenly saw two of Amanda's assistants there, Kaiya and Lin, both of whom immediately approached them.

"They were in this city since two days ago," Amanda said to Arthur with a quiet laugh.

"Boss!" The two greeted Amanda as they arrived in front of her.

They also nodded to Arthur, more politely than last time.

"Boss, you must be hungry, we've booked a restaurant for you to have breakfast," Kaiya said after greeting.

"Actually we had breakfast a few hours ago, but well, it's no problem to have breakfast again, I'm also very hungry," Amanda replied in a joking tone.

Of course, if they were still in Europe, she should have called it lunch.

However, since they were in such a far away place and it was still early in the morning, so she had no choice but to call it breakfast.

After that, Amanda and Arthur followed the two assistants.

Walking in this airport terminal could not be said to be easy because apart from being spacious, it was also overcrowded.

Although the air was comfortable, they couldn't get out quickly.

Fortunately Arthur and Amanda exuded a very strong aura of superiority, so no one dared to try to do anything to disturb them. Most even made way for them.

When they arrived outside the terminal, there was already a Mercedez ready for them to use.

It didn't have a driver, so Lin and Kaiya were probably driving the car themselves.

They let Arthur and Amanda into the back of the car.

This time, Lin was driving, but she had to rely on the car's map.

The traffic was quite congested now, so Lin also had to drive slowly.

They went to the city center which was completely full of skyscrapers where every building was close to each other.

The restaurant Lin and Kaiya had chosen was in between those buildings, being in a single building of only three floors, which meant that the restaurant was the only business in the building.

Considering the price of land here, it was obviously very excessive. If it was converted into a bigger building, the boss could get even more profit.

Arthur guessed that the restaurant probably sold food at a very expensive price.

Everyone who entered it looked like corporate bigwigs.

Lin stopped the car right in front of the sidewalk in front of the restaurant and got out of the car to open Amanda's door.

Arthur naturally opened the door himself, he didn't care about that kind of service.

"Boss, the food for us should be ready, so let's go straight in," Lin said after Amanda got off.

Amanda nodded, signaling for her to lead the way.

As they got closer to the entrance of the restaurant, a middle-aged man with a beer belly came out, smiling at Amanda.

"Welcome to my little restaurant, Miss Amanda," he said kindly.

Amanda looked at him, but did not respond other than nodding lightly.

The boss recognized her, but she didn't recognize him at all, any interaction would only slow down her business.

Amanda was already too big to care about a mere restaurant owner.

Seemingly ignored, the restaurant owner smiled wryly.

If it was just a company bigwig, he could still retaliate, but it was hard to fight someone with billions of dollars in wealth.

It would take a hundred people like her to compete with Amanda. If we add that coffee company, then maybe even a thousand wouldn't be enough.

The waiters then directed Amanda and Arthur to a large table that was already full of dishes.

They attracted the attention of all the diners who immediately started discussing when they saw them.

Arthur and Amanda sat down and ate, Lin and Kaiya also ate, ignoring the stares.

Arthur happened to be next to the window, so he could see outside.

New York is a city that is described as very prosperous, but in the center of this city, Arthur couldn't completely think that way.

He saw quite a few gangsters on street corners and drug addicts lying on the sidewalk.

Even when it was early in the morning, they gave off a menacing impression. Everyone who passed in front of them tried to go faster.

"You know, people like them tend to be easy to use. They win hard to organize, but they are usually very submissive to power," Amanda said.

She can also see outside, so she can talk about them.

"Most of them don't have the burdens of life like family, so it's easier for them to do something that others wouldn't dare."

"I won't take care of things here," Arthur replied, shaking his head.

Of course, not taking care didn't mean doing nothing.

However, things in the United States, he left everything to Isla, Suzune, and Rebecca.

He doesn't need to doubt their abilities.

"By the way, when is the IPO?" asked Arthur, changing the subject.

Amanda popped a piece of meat into her mouth before answering, "tomorrow, when trading hours start. It's already arranged, we don't need to take care of anything else. Today, we can take a walk to enjoy the city."

"I see..." Arthur did not object to her plan to take a walk. He himself also wanted to see the city more thoroughly.

Arthur and Amanda ate quite fast because they were very hungry. In the end, they had to wait for Lin and Kaiya to finish their food.

They wanted to stop, but Amanda forced them to eat until the end.

Of course, they actually preferred to finish the food since it was all paid for and they knew it cost more than their monthly salary.

While they were still eating, the restaurant boss suddenly approached their table.

He approached Amanda.

"Miss Amanda, you might be interested in this," he said, placing an envelope in front of Amanda.

The latter stared at the envelope with a furrowed brow because it did not have any words other than the coat of arms of a palace.

"What is this?" asked Amanda without taking it.

"It's an invitation to a charity auction to be held tonight. The organizer gave me some invitations and asked to distribute them to visitors who seemed to like to share," the boss replied with a faint smile.

Amanda looked unsure, she looked at Arthur and asked, "dear, what do you think?"

The boss looked at Arthur too, swallowing his saliva for a moment as he didn't expect that Arthur was really Amanda's boyfriend despite his suspicions.
