Returning From The Magic World



On the way, Arthur received another message from Isla. She said that Gabriel had left, but Isla didn't know his destination.

"He must have gone to the auction because he got an invitation too," Amanda said when she saw the message.

Everything seemed easy to understand to Arthur. He nodded without saying anything.

The auction was in a very large theater, something that was made to accommodate a lot of people.

It seemed difficult to keep the building full if every guest had to be rich.

However, New York is the city with the highest number of billionaires, not to mention the number of wealthy people from outside who visit every day, so the theater doesn't have to worry about not being full.

When Arthur and Amanda arrived, they already saw rows of luxury cars in the parking lot. There were even quite a few police officers organizing traffic and maintaining security.

However, their car was several levels more luxurious, indicating that they were on a different level.

The people in the luxury cars instantly became like curious ordinary people when they saw Amanda's car.

The police and security also knew how to act, they directed the car to a very convenient parking lot so that if they wanted to leave later, they could leave immediately without having to queue.

However, it was different from most people. Arthur and Amanda got out of the car without waiting for anyone else to open the door.

Their different actions increased their attractiveness so that people tried to figure them out.

Unfortunately, only Amanda's identity could be found. No one was sure who Arthur was.

The conversation gets interesting when Arthur and Amanda hold hands, suggesting that they are lovers.

What comes into discussion is Amanda's seemingly different tastes, preferring the much younger.

Some people couldn't help but say that Arthur was lucky. Even if he had a certain background, it was still a great fortune to be able to get an already successful woman like Amanda, let alone one who was ten years older while he was still in high school. That definitely makes for a sensational relationship.

"Do we go straight in or wait here first?" Amanda asked Arthur.

The show hadn't started yet, going in early would only make them wait while sitting inside a room, unlike waiting outside where they could be more free and relaxed.

"Let's wait here first, at least until the man comes," Arthur replied.

Amanda nodded and pulled his hand to sit on the hood of her car.

They sat there enjoying the evening breeze, ignoring the stares of the people.

Lin and Kaiya, on the other hand, stood at the back of the car, an almost invisible corner.

Actually, some guys around Amanda's age seemed to be interested in approaching Amanda, they were interested even though Arthur was beside her with the intention of snatching her away from Arthur.

However, they couldn't help but hesitate because Amanda's appearance could make them look like trash. That was the factor that made people not dare.

"Ohhh..." Amanda was then attracted to a White Mercedez with the windows open.

The man behind the window was Gabriel, who looked very relaxed.

His eyes looked around and quickly found Amanda.

Seeing Amanda staring at his car, he couldn't help but smile.

Unfortunately, Amanda immediately turned her gaze to Arthur then whispered softly to him, once again leaving Gabriel in an awkward state.

After all, this could make him think that Amanda was telling him that there was a man who was pursuing her but was rejected by her.

Of course, Gabriel also had a lot of self-confidence. He believed he was worthy of any woman, so he didn't feel inferior because of that.

He had even taken a certain drug that boosted his courage, courtesy of Oliver.

In the end, he even ordered the driver to park the car next to Amanda's.

However, he was also different from Amanda and Arthur. He only got out of the car after the driver opened the door for him.

He then approached Amanda.

Apparently he was quite famous here, many people recognized him.

His courage in approaching Amanda was expected by people because of his extraordinary status.

"Amanda, we meet again, why haven't you come inside yet?" asked Gabriel, starting a conversation with Amanda again to continue the conversation at the hotel cafe this afternoon.

He also glanced at Arthur. After glancing at Arthur, he suddenly glanced at the watch on his wrist.

When looking at the watch, Arthur somehow felt some kind of threat.

'Is it something designed to attack?' Arthur wondered.

However, in this day and age, a watch that turns out to be a deadly bomb is nothing new.

Given that the thing Oliver was relying on was poison, it's possible that the watch was hiding poison.

Unfortunately, the person who organized the plan was too dismissive of Arthur's instincts.

"The auction hasn't started yet, so we're relaxing here first." Amanda answered Gabriel's question. Her tone seemed like she didn't have the spirit to talk to him.

Although Gabriel was full of confidence, it still bothered him a lot.

This caused him to be unable to speak romantic words to Amanda.

Surprisingly he glanced at Arthur again, perhaps he thought that Arthur was the cause of all this.

Although Amanda had also rejected him in the past, but she was not rigid to this point.

In fact, someone is now watching from very, very far away, from the top of a building, using a telescope.

He was a man about Gabriel's age, with dyed black hair.

His appearance was even more handsome than Gabriel, he had a body full of muscles.

He was also not alone, but accompanied by a beautiful blonde woman with a body like clockwork.

The woman was also using a telescope to keep watch.

The man was of course Oliver while the woman was his fiancée, Lisa.

As Oliver's fiancée, Lisa also had a big background. Her family was also one of the five families, the Montague Family. It's a family that controls many mining and oil businesses around the world.

"Honey, if you explode that poison bomb now, then it will definitely hit that young man," Lisa said to Oliver.

In fact, Oliver devised a plan that exceeded Gabriel's knowledge.

In his plan, Gabriel himself will also die because he will be the first to be exposed to the poison.

Arthur who was nearby as well as Amanda would naturally also be exposed to the poison.

Lisa's suggestion was great, but Oliver shook his head.

"Let's wait for them to enter the building, I don't want the effect of the poison to be reduced by the air," he replied.

"Wouldn't delaying for a while cause failure?" asked Lisa as she stroked Oliver's hand.

"It's already going well, I'm sure this plan won't fail. Plus, if there's anything that makes it look like it's going to derail this plan, I can detonate the poison bomb first. Here, I'll be in control since that boy doesn't know anything about me."

"If it's like that, then a lot of people will die. You know, they're all important people."

"For the sake of eliminating one threat, they can be sacrificed, I'm sure many of their families are happy with their sacrifice as their wealth will be passed down to them. Aren't we helping to create new important people," Oliver replied, earning a laugh from Lisa.

"Honey, you're really cruel," Lisa said.

"But you still like me, right?" Oliver responded by hugging her waist.

Lisa shook her long blonde hair and replied, "Our relationship is due to family arrangements, but of course, I enjoy being with you."

"Hehehe..." Oliver laughed as well.

"How about we get married after this is over?" he said.

"Sure!" Lisa nodded.

Meanwhile, Gabriel kept trying to talk to Amanda. Unable to come up with romantic words, he discusses business with her.

He completely disrespects Arthur, acting as if he doesn't exist.

Only, when seemingly tired of chatting with Amanda without getting a response, he finally spoke to Arthur.

"Bro, you're definitely graduating high school this year, right? Can I know where you're going to college?" he asked. "You know, adult life can be very difficult, which is why education is so important."

Since he asked that, he seemed to really know nothing about Arthur's identity. Oliver obviously didn't tell hom.

Perhaps he told him that Arthur was an insignificant man, relying only on appearances. That's why Gabriel asked about his education.

The people who were also curious about Arthur seemed eager to hear his answer.

However, before Arthur could answer, Amanda suddenly said, "It's actually not important to him. He's a genius who can make things. Well, he gave me a coffee recipe and now everyone says that there's no better coffee than that."

Amanda couldn't stand Arthur's identity being doubted, so she finally said it. It didn't matter in front of these people because they were the elites who were surely also looking forward to tomorrow's IPO.

As Arthur had said on the airplane that time, as long as his face wasn't all over the place, it didn't matter.

Of course, when they heard what Amanda said, everyone was shocked.

Here, there are some people who carry the coffee to drink while walking, so they spontaneously look at the coffee bottle in their hands.

So far, they had always discussed how delicious it was, now Amanda suddenly said that Arthur had made it.
