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 from his forehead with a handkerchief, trying to use this method to relieve the... panic and surprise in his heart.

At the same time, York carefully looked through the gap in the window on the second floor, looking at a young figure standing in the lobby on the first floor.

Joe Xiu.

York remembered the young man's name, and he also knew that this young man was the 'buyer' who came all the way from Nolan.

At the beginning, when York saw the youthful appearance of this 'purchaser', he didn't believe that Qiao Xiu had the ability to acquire the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce from the bottom of his heart.

And he stubbornly believed that his daughter must have been deceived by this young man!

It wasn't until another person appeared that York realized how superficial and stupid his previous thinking was.

That's Dias, the ambassador from Falossi, and he's the one who brought the film, a new theater form, to Ossenburg.

Now that "Avatar" has completely become popular in Ossenburg, even if York doesn't pay much attention to movies, he can still hear that the theater's business is booming.

Undoubtedly, 'movies' has become an industry that is as profitable as patented magical machines.

Seeing Minister Dias talking and laughing happily with that young man, he even showed a humble gesture from time to time.

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

Joshua Arnold.

A surname he had never heard of, but it was at the top of the cast list of "Avatar", and it had a bunch of titles, such as 'director', 'producer', 'planner', etc...

This series of titles is enough for York to confirm that the young man is the producer of "Avatar"!

"Father, you have agreed to the conditions of the acquisition. Is there anything else that needs to be discussed? I am very busy now."

Dorothy didn't quite understand why she avoided Joshua during the conversation.

"Dorothy." The old businessman asked cautiously, "What is the relationship between you and Joshua?"

"It's a very common partner relationship." Dorothy answered her father truthfully, "He has taken a fancy to the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce, and I will negotiate with him as an agent of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Collaborator? How is it possible..."

York still has a certain value to the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce.

When he went to Nolan, he could see the promotion of the movie "Avatar" everywhere.

Nolan is a place of trial for businessmen. He wants to make a fortune there, and even hangs posters of "Avatar" on every house. York can already imagine that the young man has capital, not what he owns. can imagine.

It is impossible for such a 'monster' level existence to take a fancy to such a small chamber of commerce that is close to bankruptcy.

So York could only think of the only possibility.

"Dorothy, would he be interested in you?" York asked tentatively, "Perhaps he... bought our chamber of commerce for you."

When asked this question, Dorothy blushed a little on her cheeks, but soon her expression became gloomy.

"Father! Please stop guessing about these meaningless things!"

"No... Dorothy, you have been an adult for more than a year. The daughter of the Golden Viper Family Chamber of Commerce was engaged as soon as she became an adult, and now she has children. I... don't I hope you can find a good home? The whole No young boy up and down Oxenburg can resist your charms, and he's a young man, too, and . . . "

"Stop." Dorothy reprimanded her father's chatter in a cold voice, "I have no plans to get married right now, all I have done is to save the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce, father, please stop interfering with my marriage choice , and Joshua already has someone he likes!"

"Is there someone you like? It doesn't matter. It's very easy to grab it with your charm. In fact, a man..."

Dorothy covered her ears, stopped listening to her father's crazy words, and left the room quickly.

………………

Ciri, who was drinking a glass of orange juice, suddenly raised her head.

"What's wrong?"

Joshua noticed Ciri's abnormality.

"I just felt an inexplicable sense of crisis." Ciri put the orange juice on the table and said.

"Maybe the person in purple wants to remember that you failed the assessment."

Joshua teased the Deathwing lying on Ciri's shoulder with his hand. This Deathwing looked like a puppy that hadn't grown up, without the majesty of a dragon.

"The mentor, she should... have no way to monitor here."

"Then it looks like I should hurry up and finish things here."

Joshua waved off Minister Dias.

After arriving in Oxenburg, Joshua took some time to notify Klondor III through a text message, so the minister went to the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce and handed over the bill with the 'box office' recorded to Joshua.

At present, Qiao Xiu has basically completed the matters in Oxenburg, and all the contracts of the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce have also been obtained.

In the way of decorating the 'Internet Cafe', Qiao Xiu will guide Dorothy, the agent owner, for a period of time to come.

now...

"What do you think this is?"

Joshua looked at a slate-like object on the table. One side of the slate was completely smooth, like a mirror.

"We have found one or two of the same relics in Nolan's underground in the past, and put them in the Crystal Palace as a display, but its function is still unknown."

The man in gray sat in front of Joshua, and the owl standing on the shoulder of the man in gray poked the thing with its beak a few times.

"Actually, I also have a collection. I left it when I was fighting a suspicious guy on Squirrel Street."

Joshua picked up the slate on the table with his hands. A long time ago, when he was on Squirrel Street, Joshua met a strange gray-robed man, and he also left this thing behind when he fled.

When Joshua injected gray magic power into it, the mirror suddenly made waves and showed a light blue interface.

"You... actually activated it!"

This scene surprised the gray-clothed man slightly. He stared at the azure blue light emerging from the slate, and seemed a little excited.

But when Joshua handed the slate to the man in gray, the slate lost its source of power again and became an ordinary 'mirror'.

"Thousands of Nolan's spellcasters tried to activate this slate, but in the end it didn't work, but you activated it." The man in gray returned the slate to Qiao Xiu again, "Could it be related to your race? "

The man in gray didn't forget that the young man sitting in front of him was a Chaos Demon.

"I'm not too sure, it's just that even if this thing is activated... it doesn't seem to have any effect."

Qiao Xiu touched the mirror with his hand, and the slate looked a bit like a mobile phone on earth.

But the function of this gadget is not as comprehensive as that of a mobile phone. After Joshua has input magic power into it, it can only stay on one screen.

In this picture, there is only a circular ripple that keeps spreading outward.

"There are still many doubts about these relics. If you have time in the future, come to my mage tower."

The man in gray also gave up understanding the function of this thing from these circular ripples, but Joshua's magic power to activate it gave him a new breakthrough point.

"I also have some questions about webpage construction that I would like to ask you."

"I'll go back and visit sometime."

Not long after Joshua agreed to the request of the man in gray, Dorothy also came down from the second floor.

"Have you finished talking with your father?" Joshua asked.

"Um."

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

"I can already start to renovate the hall on the first floor." Dorothy brought the topic to the real business.

"In this regard, I can give you some design sketches, but there is nothing too difficult."

What Joshua was about to set up was the first 'Internet cafe' in the world. Before that, Dorothy didn't have any experience to refer to.

This can be regarded as a historical event. In the future, this girl is likely to be called the "Mother of Internet Cafes" or something.

"Also, in order to provide user experience, Magic Net actually has some external facilities."

Joshua remembered the original spar mouse that he had given to Xili and Jia Luoli before, and it should be popularized in this Internet cafe. (https:)
