Chapter 540 - Flirting With Reem
"Master Willy, please accept our apology on behalf of our master," another giant spoke while he gave a small box covered in red silk to Arthur.
But Arthur didn\'t accept it directly as he simply waved to Doaf to take it instead. "Thanks, at least one lycan who knows the proper manners of trade," Arthur smiled as he said these hidden words to Ralin.
But it seemed Ralin learnt his lesson as he didn\'t open his mouth to speak back.
\'Seems they aren\'t here for the pill,\' Arthur thought while turning his gaze between the other envoys.
And Doaf just did the introduction.
"This is Mr. Sam, he is the envoy from the esteemed black hole clan," Doaf pointed towards one giant with a dark cloak covering his body from head to toe, hiding his facial features before Doaf added:
"And this is Mrs. Reem, the envoy from the esteemed golden raven clan."
Arthur saw a direct contrast to the image of Sam. She was a long slender girl, wearing only two small pieces of what seemed like a remnant of a cloak to cover her sensitive parts. She had such a double pupil eye and a golden feather in her fiery long and thick hair.
"This is Mr. Antony, he is the envoy of the esteemed vampire clan. This one is Mr. Goden, the envoy of the esteemed silver cauldron clan. And you know of Ralin, and this is Mr. Dolan, the main envoy of the esteemed lycan clan."
Arthur moved between them all and nodded while he already had guessed which one of them were on good terms with his grandfather. \'Indeed the black hole clan and the silver cauldron clan,\' he thought.
\'Wrong,\' suddenly the golden dragon spoke before adding, \'the golden raven clan is so friendly with the bronzed giant clan, alongside with the silver cauldron clan. As for that big dark dude, he is very dangerous and dark.\'
\'He is from a dark clan?\' Arthur was speechless there for a moment.
\'In the world up there, boundaries between good and evil aren\'t that distinctive like they are down here at your lowly worlds.\'
\'…\'
Arthur didn\'t say anything back while he smiled warmly and faked his enthusiasm as he said:
"I welcome you all to join me in this little meeting about the pills. I apologize for bringing you all together, it seems my butler had made a mistake and instead of arranging a series of meetings he asked for you all to come here at once."
Arthur tried to show them that he knew some came uninvited, but this wasn\'t a big of a deal for him. He faked his intention to invite all of them on waves, and that meant he wasn\'t even in the wrong here for anyone to try and exploit such a point.
"Oh, Mr. Doaf just did a good job asking us to come then," Sam laughed before adding, "in fact we heard the news from others and thought this might be a good chance to gather here and discuss openly about such a deal."
"I want to know how many pills you can make on a weekly basis," Antony said in such a domineering tone like someone who used to conquer others and order everyone around.
"Well," Arthur didn\'t show any discontent from such a direct question as he added, "I just have to ask about which quality you are asking about so I can properly answer."
Just his answer made their eyes shine while Reem chuckled while asking, "do you mean you can make various versions of such a strong pill?"
"For you my darling I can make a special pill for you alone," Arthur winked his eyes and the next instant Reem laughed as she turned to Doaf and said, "your young master is funny. I never thought to be eyed by someone from such a lowly plane."
"He is that unique, or else how can my grandmaster set his gaze upon him?" Doaf answered and Arthur noticed the tinge of respect in his words.
\'You are right golden dragon, she is our ally.\'
\'Yeah, lucky for you as she seems out of your league,\' the golden dragon laughed and Arthur simply chose to neglect his remark on her.
"I\'m pretty sure the next time I meet George, I\'ll make him pay a good price for such low flirting abilities of his disciple," Reem said in a bright smile as if she was already tempted by the price she had in mind for that, "but you know the price this kid here offered isn\'t bad either."
She turned her gaze towards him while Goden interfered as he simply laughed. "I\'m also tempted by this offer."
"C\'mon, you are an old man and I\'m such a young sexy mistress who is eyed by this greedy boy here," she pouted her lips while mimicking the reaction of a little girl.
"Reem, just stop pretending please," Sam laughed before he added, "everyone here knows exactly how old you are."
"Sam!" she turned to him before adding, "don\'t start a thing you can\'t tolerate its consequences!"
"Ahem," Arthur had to stop them as he cleared his throat, "let\'s first settle on the grades of the pills you want."
"In comparison to the pill you used," Antony said, "are the others weaker or stronger? And how many versions can you make?"
Arthur felt the coldness in that vampire\'s words and tone, but he didn\'t hurry to judge based on this alone. He needed concrete proof to make sure which one was the real enemy here, the vampire clan or the black hole clan.
"On comparison with the one I made at the competition," he faked thinking before adding, "I can make three more versions and they are all much higher than the one I made in the test," he said before turning to Reem as he added with another wink, "and that\'s not considering the special pill I can make for you, my dear."
"Stop it," she laughed while others just shook their heads.
