Returning From The Magic World

Chapter 40 Discussion



"Surely a woman like you wouldn't miss out on something that would make money," Arthur said with a mocking smile.

"No one will turn down money as long as someone still wants to buy something." Amanda didn't look embarrassed, she casually put a piece of meat in her mouth. And then, she returned Arthur's mocking smile with the same smile. "You yourself, a magus still want money. Otherwise, there's no way you'd invite me to cooperate."

Arthur was not offended by the truth, he calmly answered Amanda's question. "The first product we will sell is agarwood which does not have to be burned to release its aroma, in other words, a permanent fragrance product."

Amanda immediately stopped chewing the meat in her mouth, but maybe because it was annoying, she swallowed it directly.

"Are you serious?" She asked.

"I'm sure you won't doubt the words of someone who can tame beasts with just a touch," replied Arthur.

"Gulp!" Amanda gulped, she took the cup and drank the water in it.

"This is a very big business, maybe the market is limited, but the price can be unlimited," she said, taking a breath.

"Oh right, last night you spoke to William Gordon, did you talk about this?"

"I just ordered a hundred of those tree branches, he said he'd have them ready in about three days. They'll be the first products."

"I see! Southeast Asia has banned the export of its branches for fear that outsiders have succeeded in cultivating them, so it is indeed more difficult to obtain them." Amanda nodded then held her chin. "By the way, when this product is released and successful, people in Southeast Asia will probably do everything they can to get their hands on the method. Even if they won't get it, there's a chance they'll tighten their guard over their agarwood."

"You're worried we'll lose a supplier?" Arthur guessed Amanda's thoughts.

"Yeah, do you have another way to get the supply of agarwood branches?" Amanda answered. "Maybe you can get the tree to grow here."

"I can do it, but it's something quite tiring, I won't waste my time on that" Arthur replied.

"Besides, can't we leave this matter to the companies doing business in this field?"

"Humph, they will definitely do various ways such as bribing the officials there, this is not a good thing for our modern world which is in the process of moving towards a clean world."

"I didn't hear wrong, did I?" Arthur looked at Amanda with a strange expression.

They just bought four tigers and two harpies, highly protected animals, now she's talking about a clean world. If it was his aunt who had spoken of it, Arthur would still have believed it.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm not a saint who is free from bad things, but I will not support the course of the abomination. This can't be compared to buying protected animals because it's something beyond my control. Even if I don't buy them, they will be bought by someone else. However, in this case, the two of us are the deciders. I'm sure Mrs. Isabel wouldn't agree either."

"Abominations can't be stopped easily," Arthur said briefly after Amanda finished her words. This is a little beyond his expectations, she also has idealism.

"I know," she answered calmly. "But you see how the world is today with ten years or a hundred years ago. The world succeeded in stopping colonialism, then spreading equality among nations, the evil conspiracies perpetrated by strong countries on weak countries are also decreasing with time."

"Then do you want to cancel this product?" asked Arthur.

"Don't you have other products, we can always make money some other way."

"Yeah, but this is something that is necessary for me to build strength."

"What do you mean?"

"Every branch I sell will eventually become a Demon Plant. Ten thousand of them is enough to subdue even America."

Once again, Amanda opened her mouth, and just as she wanted to say something, she closed it again.

"I'm not always nice," Arthur continued. "However, when I rule the world, I will definitely create a better world, a utopia."

"Are you sure you're still going to say that when you really rule the world?" Amanda narrowed her eyes as if to scrutinize the small parts of his face to make sure he answered honestly.

Of course, Arthur was sure. In the magic world, his domain was one of the best, it was proof that he wasn't the type to mess with the lives of the weaker than him. However, that couldn't be taken as an example in this talk, so he replied, "Even if I somehow turn into a mess, I will definitely stop as long as my aunt stops me."

"Tsk!" Amanda laughed, nearly spitting out the water she had just drunk.

"It seems you insist on doing it. Well, rather than you asking someone else to cooperate, it's better for me to do it. I made sure that those people don't mess up too much." She said and sighed.

Arthur smiled. Because Amanda was confident about the business, so he didn't need to show samples of the products, it saved his strength. At the same time, he already felt somewhat full. After drinking, he took Amanda's book.

The latter couldn't help but look at his hands, especially the hand holding the pen.

"What kind of spell will you give to me?" she finally asked.

"Given that you often sit behind a desk, I think the power of illusion is quite suitable for you."

"Illusion?" Amanda didn't seem to think that was what Arthur would choose for her, but also seemed to think it was a good power.

Arthur began to write, which was quite slow because he occasionally picked up a cup to drink from.

When he finished, he tore off the paper he was writing on and placed it in front of Amanda.

The woman thought that she was really thorough, when he said he only wanted one piece of paper and she handed him a book, he still tore up the paper in the book.

However, out of curiosity about what he wrote, she did not comment.

She quickly picked up the paper as Arthur placed it in front of her. With narrowed eyes, she read it.
