Returning From The Magic World

Arthur guessed the old man was William's grandfather, but he wasn't interested in him.

Among the many guests, he was not a truly influential figure. People respected him only because he was older.

Not long after that, there was a car escorted by a police car.

Just by looking at the license plate number, people knew who was inside.

(Vera 1)

It's the mayor's car.

It stopped in front of the store and the back door opened immediately without anyone helping to open it.

A middle-aged man with a well-kept body stepped out of the car.

He was quite handsome and had neatly combed hair, attracting the attention of many middle-aged women. Some without hesitation whistled at him.

"This girl, she even invited the mayor," Isabel said with furrowed brows.

"Is there a conflict between you and him, aunt?" Arthur asked her.

"No, this guy is just a coward who doesn't dare to choose a side, he always pretends to be neutral," Isabel replied.

Although being neutral is not wrong, they tend to be hated and watched out for because they can jump in when others are caught off guard.

Amanda showed up to greet the mayor. She explained herself why he had to wait outside first.

Perhaps Amanda was a little worried about offending the man since he had a lot of authority in this city.

After chatting with the mayor for a while, a black luxury Jeep arrived.

It was followed by two vans in which there were men in their 25s to 30s with strong-looking physiques, like they practiced every day.

By looking at the license plate on the car, people knew that they were members of the military.

Arthur had a little trouble seeing the people inside the Jeep because of the dark glass, but he guessed it was Erick's car because among the children of military members in Vera State, he was probably the only one who could travel in a luxury car while being escorted.

The Jeep and the two vans did not stop in front of the store. They stopped across the street and the people inside the three cars did not get out immediately.

Perhaps Erick didn't want to wait outside the store like the others, so he preferred to wait in the car.

Amanda watched them for a while before looking the other way.

At this moment, a group of reporters came towards her.

One of them pointed a microphone at her and said, "Miss Amanda, why are you keeping the items sold in this store a secret? Is it some kind of new innovative item, which has never existed before?"

"Yes!" Amanda replied immediately, smiling slightly so that people looked at her with increasingly curious expressions.

"Is it a fashion product, or a new type, I heard you also bought a coffee factory?"

"No, no, it's not fashion, it's definitely something very surprising, I myself was so surprised when I first saw the product."

"You were surprised too -- why does it sound like it's not your company's product?"

"Indeed, it's not mine. My company only acts as a distributor where we receive a commission from every product sold."

"This?" The reporter was surprised. After all, Aura Company was one of the largest companies in Vera City. It was hard to believe that such a large company would help sell other people's products while they themselves had many products that had long been part of the European market.

At this moment, William's grandfather, commonly called Old Gordon suddenly approached Amanda. He asked, "is it related to wood?"

Amanda was surprised to hear his question.

She looked at him and laughed softly. "You do have a sharp mind, Mr. Gordon, yes, it is related to the wood, the wood we bought from your company."

Her answer instantly made the old man and William narrow their eyes.

They had indeed guessed about that, but despite thinking about it carefully, they were not sure how to sell the wood unless it was dried first. However, such agarwood was not a new type of product, so there was no need for this kind of event for the opening of the shop.

Old Gordon wanted to ask further, but from Amanda's smile, he knew that she wouldn't answer.

Meanwhile, Amanda stared in a certain direction and her face immediately became annoyed.

There, a Black BMW appeared, heading towards the shop.

When it stopped, the glass of each of the car's front doors was already open so that people could see who was inside the car.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a handsome middle-aged man, wearing a white shirt plus a black tie. He gave off a deeper impression than the mayor.

By his side, sat a glamorous woman with blonde hair in a high ponytail so that her white neck was clearly visible.

She took off her sunglasses and gazed at the store's courtyard with eyes that might have resembled those of a queen surveying her territory.

Others could not help but feel uncomfortable when her eyes happened to pass over them.

And when her eyes reached Amanda, her lips curled sharply, something that made Amanda's lips close, a sign that she was holding back her irritation.

The two were of course Amanda's father, Riccardo, and his mistress, Lillian.

Riccardo got out of the car first, he then headed for the passenger door with hasty steps. He opened the door before extending his hand inside.

Lillian, took the man's hand and stepped down.

"Thank you, dear," she said in a soft and charming tone.

Seeing that, people looked at each other.

"Riccardo really had an affair and now he's showing it to the public, is there something wrong with the head?" Someone asked his friend.

However, his friend shook his head in response. "Such beauty can indeed make a man's brain malfunction. If that woman were to seduce me, I think I would also become like Riccardo. Gosh, she's really beautiful. Look at her waist, so slender, and her ass, so charming. Her neck too, was it specially carved?"
