After coming down the stairs, Arthur and Isabel stood in the corner, watching the people inspecting the agarwood.
However, upon seeing Isabel, Jade went straight to her, doing her duty as a bodyguard.
Naturally, she was filled with a curious expression as she stared at Isabel and Arthur.
She suddenly realized that she knew nothing about them.
As for Jonathan, when he saw Arthur here, he began to guess why the agarwood could emit such a fragrant scent.
'But, even if he has magic, to be able to do this is not an easy thing, I'm not sure what kind of magic he uses,' Jonathan thought.
He looked at his friends and decided that he would just pretend to be confused as well.
At the sa ti, the mayor asked Amanda. "Miss, how much does one branch of this agarwood cost?"
The question instantly made people stare at Amanda.
It obviously wouldn't be cheap, after all, even ordinary agarwood were very expensive, let alone this one.
Amanda smiled in response. She replied, "don't worry, it's affordable for everyone, each agarwood we sell for 15,000 Euros!"
"15.000?" Amanda's answer imdiately shocked people as it was lower than they expected.
Perhaps it was still high, equivalent to half a year's inco of the average European citizen. However, when compared to a car or a house, it's much cheaper.
Keep in mind that cars and houses can be found everywhere while this one is a new product.
Old Gordon and William were the most surprised.
As timber sellers, they had their own estimate of the right price for the agarwood and they thought it was above 50,000 Euros at least.
"Girl, are you sure you can only sell it for 15,000 Euros?" Parker asked.
"I'm sure it won't be more than that, just a little more for taxes at most," Amanda replied with a light laugh.
After that, she added, "By the way, for now, we will only sell one to each person."
It's not an absolute rule, but at least for now it's necessary so that no one buys all the agarwood in such a way as to increase the price. Plus, since the number of agarwood is still small, it's better later if they are in separate places.
Parker probably had plans to buy a lot, so he smiled wryly after hearing Amanda's words.
"Alright, I'll buy one," he said.
"Good." Amanda smiled wider.
She signaled one of the retail associates to take care of Parker's order.
After the old man, the others also started to buy, worried that if they were late, the stock would run out.
Even the reporters wanted to buy but then realized they didn't have enough money. Having no other choice, they were forced to contact their boss, asking if he was interested in buying. After all, it would be easier for them to make news if they had one agarwood in their hands.
At the sa ti, one of the Professors approached Amanda.
"Miss, may I know who created this agarwood?" he asked.
His question made people stare at Amanda again.
This was the crux of the matter. If sothing is amazing, its creator is naturally more amazing.
Amanda stared at the reporter who asked. Her lips curved like a crescent moon, but then, she shook her head.
"The matter of who created it, I think now is not the ti to publicize it, after all, we don't know what will happen considering there are many bad people in this world... Perhaps later, in the next few months, the creator will show himself. Of course, at that ti, I'm sure there are more amazing works that he will show."
Her words made people realize that they would not be able to know the identity of the creator for now. Amanda, who is a director of a big company, will not be easily influenced once she has decided sothing.
Of course, people were even more curious as Amanda spoke as if she was in awe of the creator.
So people who had speculations such as Parker, Old Gordon, Riccardo could not help but stare at Arthur.
They thought there was sothing to suggest that he was the creator.
"This is illegal!" Erick suddenly shouted, startling everyone.
They turned their eyes towards them, wondering what he ant.
"Huh!" Erick snorted softly before looking at Amanda.
"As far as I know, this branch of agarwood is banned in Europe. Southeast Asia itself prohibits its export." He said, looking at the people as if telling them to look up information about it.
The reporters were the quickest to react. They opened their phones again and searched for information on the internet.
After a few seconds, they looked at each other and nodded. So of them showed doubtful expressions because even though this was illegal by law, they couldn't deny the benefits.
"Hehehehe!" Amanda suddenly laughed, astonishing the people.
As they looked at her, she said, "there is a new law issued by the Ministry of Environnt that plants that were originally illegal can be considered legal if they are sothing unique and have guaranteed benefits.
"If you don't believe , you can check the Ministry of Environnt's social dia accounts."
"What? Really?" The reporters looked at each other again.
In the end, the Ministry of the Environnt is not very conspicuous. People rarely pay attention to the ministry so its policies often go unnoticed.
Even Old Gordon had only heard about it.
At this point, Erick had no other choice but to check his cell phone.
When he saw the latest information, his face twitched.
Unlike the others, he guessed there was so sort of hidden plan before this.
"Even so, this agarwood is still an illegal item," he said again and looked at Amanda.
"It must be contraband, right?"
Hearing that, William and Old Gordon rolled their eyes. Of course, it was contraband because their company smuggled it in.
They beca sowhat worried because if this store got into trouble, they would probably get into trouble as well.
This was also sothing they didn't expect because usually, those who bought agarwood branches from them didn't make it public like Amanda did in this store.
However, what they didn't expect was for Amanda to suddenly shake her head.
"No, this is not contraband, this is the result of our own cultivation," she replied.
