York pulled his daughter, Dorothy, to a corner on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.
He kept wiping the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, trying to use this method to ease the fear, uneasiness, and surprise in his heart.
At the same time, York's gaze also carefully peeked through the gap of the window on the second floor, looking at a young figure standing in the hall on the first floor.
Josiah.
York remembered the young man's name, and at the same time, he also knew that this young man was the 'buyer' who came all the way from Noland.
At first, when York saw the young appearance of this' buyer ', he sincerely did not believe that Josiah had the ability to buy over the Silver Patterned Flower Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, he stubbornly believed that his daughter must have been deceived by this young man!
It wasn't until the other person appeared that York realized how shallow and foolish his thoughts were before this.
That person was the ambassador from Falosi, Dias. At the same time, he was also the person who brought the brand-new form of theater, movies, to Ossen.
Now that "Avatar" had completely become popular in Ossen, even if York did not pay much attention to movies, he could still hear that the theater's business was booming.
Without a doubt, "movies" had become an industry that was even more profitable than patented magic machines.
Seeing Minister Dias and the young man chatting cheerfully and wittily, and even showing a humble attitude from time to time.
The merchant immediately remembered that he had seen the name Josiah on the cast list of "Avatar" before!
Josiah Yanorod.
A surname he had never heard of, but hung at the top of the cast list of "Avatar", and there were a bunch of titles like "Director", "Producer", "Planner" and so on …
This series of titles was enough for York to confirm that the young man was the producer of "Avatar"!
"Father, you have already agreed to the conditions of the purchase, is there anything else to discuss? I am very busy right now. "
Dorothy did not understand why she was avoiding Josiah during the conversation.
"Dorothy," the old merchant asked carefully, "What is your … relationship with Josiah?"
"A very ordinary relationship of collaborators." Dorothy answered her father truthfully, "He has his eyes on the Silver Patterned Flower Chamber of Commerce, and I negotiated with him as their representative."
"Collaborator? How is that possible … "
York still knew the value of the Silverflower Chamber of Commerce.
When he went to Noland, he could see the advertisements for the movie "Avatar" everywhere.
Noland was a training ground for merchants. To make a name for themselves there, to the point of hanging posters of 'Avatar' on every house, York could already imagine the wealth that the young man possessed. It was not something he could imagine.
It was impossible for such a monstrous existence to take a fancy to a small Chamber of Commerce that was close to bankruptcy.
Therefore, York could only think of one possibility.
"Dorothy, will he be interested in you?" York asked tentatively. "Maybe he bought our Chamber of Commerce because of you."
After being asked this question, Dorothy's cheeks blushed a little, but her expression soon became gloomy.
"Father! Please stop guessing these meaningless things! "
"No … Dorothy, you have already been an adult for more than a year. The daughter of the Golden Viper Chamber of Commerce has just reached adulthood and is already engaged. They even have a child now. I … Didn't I hope that you can find a good partner? All the young men in Ossen Castle can't resist your charm. He is also a young man, and … "
"Stop." Dorothy coldly stopped her father's chattering. "I have no plans to get married for the time being. Everything I am doing is to save the Silver Patterned Flower Chamber of Commerce. Father, please stop interfering with my choice of marriage. Moreover, Josiah already has someone he likes!"
"Someone he likes? It doesn't matter. With your charm, it is very easy to snatch her over. Men are actually … "
Dorothy covered her ears and stopped listening to her father's crazy talk. She quickly left the room.
… …
Hiri, who was drinking a glass of orange juice, suddenly raised her head.
"What's wrong?"
Josiah noticed Hiri's abnormality.
"I just feel an inexplicable sense of danger." Hiri said as she put the glass of orange juice on the table.
"Maybe the purple-clothed person wants to remember that you failed the test."
Josiah teased the Wing of Death lying on Hiri's shoulder. This Wing of Death was completely like a puppy that had not grown up. It did not have the slightest bit of the majesty of a giant dragon.
"Mentor should be … unable to monitor this place."
"Then it seems that I should hurry up and deal with the matters here."
Josiah waved his hand to send off Minister Dias.
After arriving at Ossen Castle, Josiah took some time to notify Crorendo III via text message. Thus, the minister specially went to the Silver Patterned Flower Chamber of Commerce and handed over the 'box office' bill to Josiah.
Currently, Josiah had basically finished dealing with the matters in Ossen Castle. He had also obtained all the contracts with the Silver Patterned Flower Chamber of Commerce.
Josiah would be guiding the acting owner, Dorothy, for the next period of time in the renovation of the 'Internet Cafe'.
But now …
"What do you think this is?"
Josiah looked at an item that looked like a stone slab placed on the table. One side of the stone slab was completely smooth, just like the surface of a mirror.
"An artifact from the underground of Noland. We have also found one or two similar ones in the past and placed them in the Crystal Palace as display items. However, its use is still unknown."
The gray-clothed person sat in front of Josiah. The owl on the gray-clothed person's shoulder even used its beak to poke at the thing a few times.
"Actually, I also have a collection. I left it when I fought with a suspicious fellow in Squirrel Street."
Josiah picked up the stone slab on the table with his hand. A long time ago, when Josiah met a strange gray-clothed person in Squirrel Street, he also left this thing behind when he escaped.
When Josiah injected gray magic into it, the surface of the mirror suddenly rippled and revealed a light blue interface.
"You … actually activated it!"
This scene slightly surprised the gray-clothed person. He stared at the azure light that appeared on the stone slab and seemed a little excited.
But when Josiah handed the stone slab to the gray-clothed person, the stone slab once again lost its source of power and became an ordinary 'mirror'.
"Thousands of Noland's spellcasters have tried to activate this stone slab, but in the end, it did not have any effect. Yet, you activated it." The gray-clothed person returned the stone slab to Josiah. "Does this have anything to do with your race?"
The gray-clothed person did not forget that the young man sitting in front of him was a Chaos Demon.
"I'm not too sure. But even after this thing is activated … it doesn't seem to have any effect."
Josiah touched the surface of the mirror with his hand. The stone slab looked a little like a mobile phone on Earth.
But this thing's function was not as comprehensive as a mobile phone. After Josiah injected magic into it, it could only stay on one image.
In this image, there was only a circular ripple that continuously spread outwards.
"There are still many doubts about these relics. If you have time in the future, come to my Mage Tower."
The gray-clothed person also gave up on trying to understand the function of this thing from the circular ripple. But the fact that Josiah could activate it with magic gave him a new breakthrough point.
"I also have some questions about web construction that I would like to ask you."
"I will visit when I have time."
Not long after Josiah agreed to the gray-clothed person's request, Dorothy also came down from the second floor.
"Have you finished your discussion with your father?" Josiah asked.
"Yes."
Dorothy recalled the conversation just now and her expression became a little strange. But she quickly controlled her emotions.
"I can already start to modify the hall on the first floor." Dorothy changed the topic to business.
"I can give you some design sketches in this area. Actually, it's not too difficult."
Josiah was going to build the world's first 'Internet Cafe'. Before this, Dorothy did not have any reference.
This could also be considered a historical event. In the future, this girl would very likely be called the 'Mother of Internet Cafes' or something.
"Also, in order to provide users with a better experience, the magic net actually has some external facilities."
