Returning From The Magic World

Parker's arrival was enough to stir up everyone in front of the store including reporters.

Since wealth is sometimes considered the greatest thing, so saying that Parker is the king of the mountain is not an exaggeration at all. Whether it's the mayor or even the governor, their status can be lower than his -- at least in the eyes of people who want money.

The car stopped and the door opened, revealing a white-haired old figure.

He was tall and still looked fresh, showing that he was still healthy even though he was probably over 90 years old.

After that, he stepped down.

And he wasn't alone, the two doors in front opened, revealing two men who looked like soldiers. Each of them got off in a hurry, perhaps they were uncomfortable that it wasn't them who opened the door for the old man.

After getting out of the car, he immediately stared at the shop in front of him, looking at it from the ground up before looking at the reporters who approached him.

"Mr. Parker, you came too, did Miss Amanda invite you?" one of them asked.

Before he could answer, the other added, "Mr. Parker, what is your reason for coming. As we know, you usually only come for important events, there must be a reason why you took the time to visit a store that is just about to open."

"Mr. Parker!"

"Mr. Parker!"

One by one, the reporters called out his name. They tried to get closer but were blocked by his two bodyguards.

In the end, Mr. Parker raised his hand, signaling for silence.

Wanting to hear his answer, the reporters followed his wishes. They kept quiet but pointed the microphone at his face.

"You don't seem to know anything about this store either," he said.

"I myself don't know either, but that girl, Amanda, told me that after coming here, I no longer need to burn my agarwood."

"Agarwood?" The reporters who looked at each other heard that.

Of course, not all of them knew what agarwood was, after all, it belonged to an expensive product, which not everyone could afford. Plus, it was also a hard-to-find product. Only those who had an interest in certain things knew that.

"It's a wood that produces a fragrant aroma when burned," said one of the reporters who happened to know what agarwood was.

After hearing that, other journalists went online to look for information.

It didn't take long before they all understood what kind of wood agarwood was.

And now, they were surprised because Amanda told Parker that after coming to this place, he didn't need to burn his agarwood anymore.

"What does that mean?" People wondered.

Meanwhile, Old Gordon and the mayor approached Parker.

The latter seemed to recognize Old Gordon because he waved to him and ignored the mayor, causing the man to have to stop his steps.

He was somewhat displeased, but in the end he chose to be indifferent.

His eyes looked around and lit up when he saw Isabel's car.

At the same time, Old Gordon and Parker went to a slightly empty area.

"Long time no see, Old Gordon, what made you come here, is it the same as me?" Parker asked Old Gordon.

"No, that girl didn't tell me anything, only my grandson was invited. However, a few days ago, she and Isabel's nephew bought a hundred branches of aloes from my grandson," Old Gordon replied.

That surprised Parker, he couldn't help but wonder, "does this store sell agarwood? And is it a special agarwood? By the way, is the Isabel you're referring to that congresswoman?"

"Yes!" Old Gordon nodded before pointing at a car in which a woman with long hair was standing next to it.

"That's her car, she should be inside that shop."

"Amazing, I'm getting impatient!" Parker held his chin, staring at the entrance of the shop once again.

Right after that, there were a few people coming in, mostly in their 50s and above.

"They're professors from Vera University," Parker said, he recognized some of them.

"Even the professors came..." Old Gordon was finally amazed.

A rich businessman like him might have a high status in the eyes of ordinary people, but only people like him knew how arrogant the professors were.

Many of them were ignored when communicating with them.

Among those Professors, there was even Nova's father, Jonathan.

Quickly, the professors were swarmed by reporters.

They were asked why they came here, even repeating Parker's answer.

Of course, it surprised the professors that Amanda hadn't told them that.

The main reason they could come here was actually because Amanda promised to compensate them handsomely if what she would show them later did not satisfy them or at least did not make them curious.

The fact that Amanda dared to make such an offer to the professors once surprised the reporters.

They looked at each other and thought that they might need to make a bigger story. Or do a live broadcast for this event.

On the other hand, Amanda said, "dear, it's about time we opened this store, do you want to come?"

"No, I'll just look around," Arthur replied.

He didn't want to be famous all over the world for this invention. It would only complicate his life if he became too famous.

If only a few people knew like the two old men, that was fine with him.

Amanda nodded before stepping out while Arthur and Isabel were still sitting on the sofa.

When they arrived downstairs, the retail associates were already at their respective positions.

Carla and Bella were also there, standing in a corner so as not to attract attention.

Then, Amanda opened the shop's door, instantly attracting everyone's attention including her own father who still looked confused.

The reporters wanted to get closer when they saw her again, but were blocked by the mercenaries.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting," Amanda said in a polite tone.

Right after that, Parker approached and said, "I don't mind waiting one night if what you say is true."

When he spoke, Amanda couldn't help but look up at him and smile kindly.

"Don't worry Mr. Parker. Considering you love agarwood, what you will see behind this door is enough to make you feel young again. You will also feel like entering a new world."

"Girl, stop saying nonsense, quickly let us in!" Lillian suddenly said in a loud voice.

Although Riccardo seemed to want her to restrain herself, but she was not afraid of acting annoying.
