Chapter 30 30: Deal Completed!
Amon felt Ming Xue's red eyes flash as she narrowed her eyes, stretching out her hand towards him.
"What do you say? I can prepare beneficial terms and fulfil any requests you might have."
"Hmmm..."
He looked at the serious woman before him, her current look different than he recalled ever seeing her; when Ethan suggested the same deal, it wasn't so passionate and filled with enthusiasm.
'Is it because she offered that she saw the value in working with my recipes and company? I know it's not because of me, but rather the mixture of my special tonics, elixirs and the Winchester name...'
His body leaned back into the chair, stroking the smooth white hair of Elma, curling her silky locks around his finger while watching Ming Xue; there was no downside for him here, but how would he defeat her in business if they worked together so closely?
'How can I make her fall for me this way?'
Amon started to feel the effects of his cultivation technique after reaching the second stage; his lust for physical feelings increased.
Still, bordering stage 3, needing to take a moment to advance, it increased his lust for powerful women with their powers and strengths rather than just a nice ass or pair of great tits.
"What will you suggest, what split, terms, and how much will your company intervene? Will it be your family's workers or just you? Ming Xue?"
He grinned, still leaning back in his chair with Elma. The woman narrowed her eyes, slowly lowering herself back into her chair; she held her lips tight as she stared at Amon, her hands still stretching towards him.
"That's right, it is my first choice too...but you seem like an awfully hard nut to crack, Mr Winchester, and I'd hate to be alone against you and another company with these products."
He accepted her offer to make things even more secure, knowing that she planned to use her own company; thankfully, Elma was absent this morning because she had the current Double Dragon Inc. Employees make a small batch of the beautifying product.
Amon reached into his chest pocket; he placed two beautiful black pots on the table; the lid was red with a velvet cover and golden thread, which looked like two dragons crossing each other and made it look impressive.
'Mother... I sent you a sketch design, and you already prepared a sample bottle in the style I wanted...'
"Before we speak of any details, let's not get ahead of ourselves and test out the beautifying serum first. If you ask your maids to use it, the skin smoothing and wrinkle reduction effect works within 15 minutes of applying the serum to the customer's face."
For the first time, he saw Ming Xue's face blush; her hand lowered as she seemed to have realised her desire for a deal made her almost commit a serious blunder, her cheeks with a faint red hue were adorable as she leaned forward, taking one of the black pots, examining it intently.
"I suppose we could start with something simple, like making an appearance at a conference tomorrow night. There are a few bigwigs, businessmen and other important people there who would love to try our new product. I'd also like to see how you handle an important customer request, especially regarding our future projects together."
The woman was now smiling at him, her hands gripping tightly onto the black pot, opening the velvet bag before unscrewing the top, a fresh scent of honey, cinnamon and lavender filling her nostrils.
He grinned as he watched her inhale deeply, slowly leaning back into his chair again as he waited for the woman to recover from her focus.
When she did so, he noticed two dark cedarwood boxes in front of her on the table.
"What is that?"
"I thought you might appreciate having a portable storage unit with your set of beautifying products. My company has been making cosmetic items since they were popular, and these small details added to the soon-to-be-famous Winchester family recipe collection."
Ming Xue placed the velvet bag on top of the lid and gently twisted it until a hinge came undone, and the velvet cover fell to the side, revealing a silk-lined box within.
She quickly opened the silk covering, and inside was a slim wooden case, a few small compartments lining the exterior, holding all sorts of little containers; he could smell them through the thick silk.
"The beauty kit looks incredibly handy."
Ming Xue smiled at him, taking long-nailed hands and pushing up her sleeves, revealing the red dragon tattoos on her arms.
"What does this symbol mean? It looks quite strong."
"I see that you've noticed. The dragons symbolise good fortune; they protect my family's home and the house that my family lives in. The symbols represent the strength of the family's wealth and power."
Amon carefully looked at Ming Xue, seeing the woman's face filled with pride, as if the box was made perfectly for his serum bottles, they could slot in flat, but the cedar box also folded into a display case, showing them through a small glass window, ideal for stores and shop displays.
Now her embarrassment was gone. Instead, she began to take notes on both paper and her digital pad before passing it to the strong bodyguard who stood beside her always, even when she moved closer to Amon.
"Amon, I want to work with you; although I only took notice of you for the Winchester name, I now know these products are completely your own, how you came across them, or who taught you, as the patent for these is already in your name, thus I applaud you and your mother's swift work."
Once gained, she stepped forward, her movements exquisite and seductive, as she held out her hand with a seductive smile on her red lips.
"Please do me the pleasure of working with me?"
How could he drag it on further, after all this, even if it made it harder to earn her affection and love? He was excited to learn more about business and how the world of business and trade worked through their partnership.
Amon stood up, slowly straightening his suit, as he stared into her beautiful red eyes, his violent orbs glowing as the black dragon inside his body began to surge; the moment his hand shook hers, somehow he felt a similar existence in her, as the illusion of a red dragon raging and playfully fighting against his black dragon qi formed within him.
"Eh?"
"Oh..?
The pair let out a sound before their faces became more passionate, and they stared into each other's eyes.
"My lady..." The guard beside Mind Xue whispered as she saw the change of look on her lady's face; that was not the look of a business partner.
Still, nobody but the pair could realise how much they had learned about each other when their hands touched as a small red dragon swam around his body, dancing around the huge black dragon, while inside Ming Xue, a small black dragon danced around her Red dragon.
Constantly touching, rubbing and flirting with each other as power and vitality slowly grew inside their bodies, as if the Qi itself was performing dual cultivation rather than their bodies.
When the pair were finally ready to separate from the sensual contact, they did so reluctantly, smiling as they leaned forward.
"I'd love for us to work together."
Ming Xue softly whispered in his ear as she placed her slender fingers under his chin, gently pulling his head towards her; then her lips brushed against his, and an intoxicating feeling of passion and love filled their minds; suddenly, she pushed back, her long nails scraping his cheek as she stepped away from him.
Turning away and walking from the room, her ass swaying with a seductive arc, a light chuckle leaving her lips as she felt the strange sensation in her abdomen continue, even without them touching.
Elma's keen eyes glowed as she jumped onto Amon's back and nibbled at his ear, her little throat letting out the purr she would do during sex, snapping him out of his daze.
"Fufu~ you want to fuck Ming Xue too? Such a naughty black dragon~!"
"Be quiet, Elma; let's go. I have to visit the company and guide Rebecca."
"Haha, guide her onto your cock, right?"
"Tsk..."
"Hehe~ mwah!" She kissed his cheek, licking away the marks from Ming Xue's nails, as her eyes narrowed, watching the doors where she vanished, feeling a tight sensation in her chest, despite it being her former saviour.
