Chapter 451: forced marriage

Chapter 451: Chapter 455, forced marriage

York pulled his daughter Dorothy to a corner on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.

He kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, trying to use this method to ease the fear and surprise in his heart.

At the same time, York’s gaze carefully looked through the gap of the window on the second floor and looked at a young figure standing in the hall on the first floor.

Joshua.

York remembered the young man’s name. At the same time, he also knew that this young man was the ‘buyer’who came from Nolan.

At first, when York saw the young appearance of this ‘buyer’, he did not believe that Joshua had the ability to buy the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce from the bottom of his heart.

He also firmly believed that his daughter must have been deceived by this young man!

It was not until another person appeared that York realized how shallow and stupid his previous thoughts were.

That was Ambassador Diaz from Faroese, who was also the person who brought the new theatrical form of film to Osenberg.

Now that “Avatar”had completely become popular in Osenberg, even if York did not pay much attention to the film, he could hear that the theater’s business was booming.

Undoubtedly, “Movies”had become an industry that was even more profitable than the patented magic-conducting machinery.

Watching Minister Diaz and the young man chatting cheerfully, and even showing a humble attitude from time to time.

The businessman immediately remembered that he had seen the name Joshua in the cast list of “Avatar”!

Joshua Arnold.

A surname that he had never heard of, but it was hung at the top of the cast list of ‘Avatar’, and it had a bunch of titles, such as ‘director’, ‘producer’, ‘planner’and so on..

These series of titles were enough for York to confirm that the young man was the producer of ‘Avatar’!

“Father, you have agreed to the terms of the acquisition, is there anything else that needs to be discussed? I’m very busy right now.”

Dorothy did not quite understand why she had to avoid Joshua during the conversation.

“Dorothy.”The old businessman asked carefully, “What’s your… relationship with Joshua?”

“It’s a very ordinary partnership,”Dorothy answered her father truthfully. “He has his eyes on the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce. As the agent of the Chamber of Commerce, I’m negotiating with him. That’s all.”

“A partnership? How is that possible…”

York still had a good idea of the value of the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce.

When he had gone to Nolan, he had seen the publicity for the movie “Avatar”everywhere.

Nolan was a trial ground for businessmen. If they wanted to make a name for themselves there, and even hung posters of “Avatar”on every house, York could already imagine the capital that young man had, it was not something he could imagine.

An existence on the level of a monster like him would never 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. “Perhaps he bought our chamber of Commerce… For You.”

Dorothy blushed when she was asked this question, but soon her expression turned gloomy.

“Father! Please stop guessing these meaningless things!”

“No… Dorothy, you’ve been an adult for more than a year. The daughter of the Golden Viper Chamber of Commerce got engaged when she just came of age. Now that she has a child, i… Don’t I hope you can find a good home?”? “All the young boys in Orson Castle can’t resist your charm. He’s also a young man, and…”

“Stop,”Dorothy coldly berated her father, “I have no plans to get married for the time being. All I’ve done is to save the silver-patterned flower chamber of Commerce. Father, please don’t interfere with my marriage choice anymore. Besides, Josh already has someone he likes!”

“Someone he likes? It doesn’t matter. With your charm, it’s easy to snatch him away. A man is 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 his head.

“What’s Wrong?”

Josh noticed Hiri’s unusual behavior.

“I just feel a strange sense of danger,”Hiri said as he placed the orange juice on the table.

“Maybe the purple-clothed person wants to mark you as having failed the exam.”

Josh used his hand to play with the death wing on Hiri’s shoulder. This death wing was completely like a puppy that had not grown up. It did not have the dignity of a giant dragon.

“Teacher should be… unable to monitor this place.”

“Then it seems that I should finish the things here quickly.”

Josh waved his hand and sent minister Diaz away.

After coming to Orson Castle, Josh spent some time to inform Crondo III via text message. Therefore, the minister went to the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce and handed the bill that recorded the ‘box office’to Josh.

At present, Joshua had basically settled all the matters in Orson Castle, and all the contracts of the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce had been obtained.

In regards to the method of renovating the ‘Internet cafe’, Joshua would be instructing the acting store owner, Dorothy, for a period of time in the future.

Now..

“What do you think this is?”

Joshua looked at an item that was similar to a stone slab on the table. The surface of the stone slab was completely smooth, just like a mirror,

“Nolan’s underground relic. We found one or two similar objects in the Crystal Palace as exhibits, but its function is still unknown.”

The gray-clothed man sat in front of Josh. The Owl on the gray-clothed man’s shoulder poked the thing with its beak a few times.

“Actually, I also have a collection. It was left behind when I was fighting with a suspicious guy in Squirrel Street.”

Joshua picked up the slate on the table with his hand. A long time ago, when Joshua was at Squirrel Street, he met a strange man in a gray robe. He also left behind this thing when he was running away.

When Joshua injected the gray magic power into the slate, the surface of the mirror suddenly rippled and a light blue interface appeared.

“You… you actually activated it!”

The gray-robed man was slightly startled by this scene. He stared at the Azure Light that appeared on the stone slab, appearing rather excited.

But when Joshua handed the stone slab to the gray-robed man, the stone slab once again lost its source of power and became an ordinary ‘mirror’.

“Nolan, thousands of spellcasters tried to activate this stone slab, but in the end, there was no effect. You activated it instead.”The gray-robed man returned the stone slab to Joshua. “Could it be that this has something to do with your race?”

The gray-clothed man did not forget that the young man sitting in front of him was a chaos demon.

“I’m not too sure either. It’s just that even if this thing is activated… it doesn’t seem to have any effect.”

Joshua touched the mirror with his hand. The stone tablet looked a little like a cell phone on Earth.

However, the function of this thing was not as comprehensive as a cell phone. After Joshua injected magic power into it, it could only stay on one screen.

In this screen, there was only a circular ripple that was constantly spreading out.

“There are still many suspicious points left in these relics. If you have time in the future, come to my mage tower.”

The gray-clothed person also gave up trying to understand the function of this thing from these circular ripples. However, Joshua’s magic power was able to activate it, which gave him a new breakthrough point.

“I also have some questions about the construction of the web page.”

“I’ll visit you when I have time.”

Not long after Joshua agreed to the gray-clothed person’s request, Dorothy also came down from the second floor.

“Have you finished your discussion with your father?”Joshua asked.

“Yes.”

Dorothy’s expression was a little strange when she thought of the conversation just now, but she quickly controlled her emotions.

“I can already start to renovate the lobby on the first floor.”Dorothy pulled the topic to the main topic.

“I can give you some sketches of the design in this aspect. It’s actually not too difficult.”

Jose was preparing to build the first ‘Internet Cafe’in the world. Before this, Dorothy did not have any experience to refer to.

This was a historical event. In the future, this girl might be called the ‘mother of internet cafes’or something like that.

“Also, to provide the user’s experience, the magic net actually has some external facilities.”

Josh remembered the original crystal mouse that he had given to Hili and Gloria. It was time to popularize it in this internet cafe.
