Chapter 29 29: Doubts! Ming Xue's Prowess!
Amon was guided to the private room of Xue along with Elma, the lovely black walls, with elegant artwork, were as tasteful as ever—today, a new maid seemed to have replaced the former Elma, who was waving to the girls with a fake smile.
'Let's just sit down; no need to bother with formalities.'
He took Elma's arm before sitting comfortably on the double black sofa—thankfully, there was a slightly chilled bottle of wine for them to drink.
Of course, it was Elma's favourite.
The South Afrilian Pinotage wine from last time.
'Hmmm, she knew I would bring this damn Germanian; what else did she anticipate?'
His fingers wrapped around the chilled crystal glass, took a sip as he swirled it around his mouth—Kanonkop Kadette, a wonderful wine with a dark fruity flavour, filled his mouth, soothing his mind and body.
'Ah, wine, the nectar of the gods... nothing like these vulture-like women... only mother loves me for nothing.'
As he relaxed, Amon could feel a soft body press against his chest, her shoulder slightly digging into his abdomen as her warm breath blew down his neck before a rough, whispered voice sounded.
"Hey~ don't drink my fucking wine, pretty boy! My spit is enough for you, peh!"
Amon ignored the playful tigress, sipping the wine and lifting it out of her reach, looking at the frustrated girl with a smirk.
"Oh, why does a damn tiger deserve my delicious wine? The only thing you should drink is the spit of my dragon! Haha!"
He slightly regretted his words, as instantly after she heard them, her hand grasped his crotch tightly while her teeth snapped near his neck, her long pink tongue sliding over his flesh.
"Oi~ did the little boy become brave? Shall I bite it off and use it as my dildo? The cultivation might still work, fufu!"
To the maids on the other side of the room, it looked like a very intimate and loving mood while Amon drank wine, his eyes always watching Elma, and her hand stroking his lower body with a passionate look, as she seemed to be kissing his neck.
Clack!
The back door opened as the beautiful Ming Xue swayed into the room with her graceful movements, she wore a tight black Eastern dress with high slits, showing her lack of undergarments, or she might be wearing something exciting like a c-string.
'Ah, this woman. Why does she exude the confidence of a master, despite being a mere 4th Stage Body Creation cultivator?'
"My dear business partner, Mr Winchester! Seeing you makes my day so wonderful; my cute maid seems addicted to you. How Strange! She used to hate males so intensely."
Her face showed a smile, but behind that facade, Amon could feel a fierce dragoness as if eyeing her prey; it seemed her preliminary inspection and valuation's finished, and she will likely seek more benefits from him today.
Several times her eyes flickered down, looking at the hand still grasping and caressing his nether region, causing her to feel especially shocked.
'I only hope my defence can hold; only 3-4 days of studying at night can help me... I'd need a long time even to get close...'
Amon was thankful that his cultivation technique made reading and remembering certain information easier.
Still, it was hopeless regarding people's birthdays or special dates, apart from his mother's birthday.
"Well, such a beautiful miss Xue; look at your lovely red lips and graceful clothes. I am truly honoured to meet you in such a charming outfit."
"Maybe there's something irresistible about my handsome face and perfect body? Haha, who knows what this tigress is thinking."
"Heh... stupid woman lover," Elma whispered in his ear, stealing his wine while occupied with Ming Xue.
Xue's body moved quickly as she sat opposite them, in the extravagant single seat, with a thick black cushion that slightly sank, as if remembering the shape of her smooth buttocks, her chest swaying before she crossed her legs, revealing a slight glimpse of her creamy, fair thighs.
"My company has finished the rough estimate on the cost and work required to renovate, improve and prepare that old factory for development and deployment."
"Mr Winchester~ how will we arrange the costs and fees?"
"Lady Xue, why don't you deal with that with your money?"
"Don't joke with me, Mr Winchester. The contract states we will calculate certain costs as they come; this is one of those times, no? It's quite a large cost, enough to almost bankrupt this poor little girl!"
'Lies! Policeman, we have a liar over here!'
'Your net worth is almost triple mine right now!'
"Well, if you are so poor, maybe I could work with Miss Murdock instead; she would love to give me the money I need and with the best rates too..." He replied, hoping to deflect her secret plot.
'This woman wants to make me pay more.'
"Now, now, Amon... I was merely jesting; how about 40/60? You are 60; I am 40; it IS your factory and business, after all."
"Ah, but that makes me feel a little tight; how am I supposed to run the factory paying such a large cost... Isn't it your company that will perform the actions? Why does it need to be so expensive? Are you going to pocket the extra as your funds?"
"Amon Winchester!"
"Oh, Xue is mad!" Elma whispered as she sipped the wine.
"That's my name, Ming Xue."
"Are you being serious right now? Do you want to be difficult about some paltry amount of money?"
'Haha!'
Amon sat back; he watched her beautiful face look slightly angry; even a little vein on the side of her face added to her overall charm as he enjoyed the fiery look in her red eyes, her hands tightly grasping the arms of her chair.
"Oh, it's a paltry amount; why are you making such a fuss? Couldn't you handle the costs alone, then return your money with profits? The longer you make this fuss, the more time until you get any money."
Her body snapped straight, her teeth grinding slightly as she narrowed her eyes, almost shining with red light in his eyes, as a red aura began to pour from her body.
"Amon! How can I know what profits to expect since I've not seen the full recipe or effects of the elixirs you wish to create or sell? I took this deal out of respect for your mother and the Winchester group, don't misunderstand that it's for you!"
'Good, Ming Xue. This is how you should be; this is the woman I secretly loved when not controlled!'
"Hahaha, good. That's what I wanted, not some pointless sugary talk."
He placed his hand on his chest, ignoring the maids, who all seemed to be on edge; even Elma was surprised that Ming Xue was so agitated as she almost began to shake visibly.
Amon dragged two pieces of parchment from his chest; it looked old and brown, something he artificially did using the oven because if it was printed on white paper, wouldn't it look boring and quite fake?
'Let's hope this can get me cheaper; I need money to hire more staff and bodyguards to protect my mother and other important people.'
With a flick of his wrist, the two parchments fluttered through the air as if floating before landing on the table in front of Ming Xue—it was amusing to Amon to use his black dragon Qi to make both documents line up beside each other.
'How can I fight an invisible fate if I don't know what Ethan and others are doing? Although the Winchester family has its guards? How far can I trust other people's men and women?'
The two documents on the desk read vastly different titles and brief descriptions.
Peerless Beauty Tonic - A powerful tonic that, when applied, will improve the body's skin quality and complexion while reducing ageing, making the skin smoother and more creamy.
Time until effect: First Use
Duration: Permanent, slowly improving over time.
-
Majestic Dragon Tonic - A wondrous tonic that slowly improves the body's natural masculinity, affecting those men who might struggle to get erections, maintain a hard dragon and help slowly build more dense and powerful muscles from working out.
Time until effect: First Use
Duration: Constantly builds, taken while working out to improve their bodies, replacing protein powder and other nutrients.
"Oh..."
Ming Xue flicked through the two parchments, her eyes fluttering as she showed a sudden smile.
However, noticing the ingredients and preparation weren't included, the depth and detail he wrote caused her to understand that Amon Winchester was not blagging her and was worth her attention.
"How many recipes other than this do you have, and are there any aimed at cultivators?"
'Did I manage to survive!? Fuck I almost fucked up!'
Amon adjusted himself, the back of his suit slightly damp with his cold sweat.
Elma's hand moved more erotically, no longer just tightly grasping him but caressing him as her lips curved into an approving smile sending jolts of pleasure down his spine.
"Ah, there are currently 4 recipes, including these two, that our current factory level can create; we lack skilled alchemists and herbologists for the others... If you believe me, I can give you these two now, and our factory can start making them as soon as the upgrades and work are finished."
His voice became more confident as he held another two pieces of parchment: the creation method and ingredients.
"!!!"
The fact that he easily took out the recipes and creation method for these two alone caused Ming Xue to show a slightly surprised face after she tested him, expecting him to pout or act sullen.
"I will pay 30% of the fees, 70%. As a show of goodwill, how about we amend the contract for sales, and you will personally get 5% along with your company's 5%."
Amon knew this wasn't something he could protect alone; if he were too greedy or arrogant, the real cultivation families would crush him, learn his recipe, and be left with nothing.
'Ming Xue is different... Her family is one of the top 3 families in the country.'
"No", Ming Xue's voice was confident, and they denied it completely.
Her sudden rejection caused his chest to throb. Had he messed up? Will it be a struggle to survive each step? Did the influence of the supreme bastard reach this far even when absent?
"Eh...?"
Elma giggled, causing Amon to feel irritated, but he grasped her soft bosom to chill his stress, her cute lips letting out a sensual moan before Ming Xue spoke again, breaking the silence.
"I don't need the extra money or for you to pay."
"Instead..."
"Work with me for ALL of your recipes... let's dominate the entire sector, You and Me together, a long-term partnership contract."
