The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 6

"Are you kidding me?" Bob questioned in disbelief.

"You want to buy this place? Do you really think it was something you could just buy on the spot? Even if it was available, did you have the resources to buy it? Are you completely out of your mind?"

Bob was certain that the individual before him was a scammer. He thought buying this property was the most absurd notion he had ever heard. The restaurant was connected to a seven-star hotel, the only one in the city and renowned for its extravagance and costliness. Tourists from all over the country and the world would come to this city simply to enjoy the services of the luxurious hotel.

"You just need to convey my message to your boss," Arthur said firmly, his temper rising. "Explain to him that I'm serious about buying this restaurant and the hotel attached to it. Name your price."

Arthur had his sights set on the place; he wanted to live in the fanciest spot in town. He thought buying both establishments was the best decision, as he had more than enough money to purchase two to ten of the same hotel. After all, he still had a large amount of money left.

"I'll kill you if you're just wasting my time with your boasting," Bob warned. "Do you really think I'm someone to be trifled with? I hold a lot of power in this place, and I could easily kick you out right now if I wanted to." He remained steadfast in his desire not to be taken advantage of by the man in front of him.

Arthur then turned to Edna. "Please take out the device," he said.

Edna was taken aback; she had been silent the entire time and was hoping she wouldn't be kicked out of her job. Hesitantly, she stood up and showed the device to Arthur.

Without any hesitation, Arthur topped up his Platinum Member account with 10 billion USD.

Bob, who had been observing the transaction, couldn't believe his eyes. He had never seen anyone spend such an exorbitant amount of money without batting an eyelid.

Bob’s body trembled, and he quickly scurried away, dialing someone on his phone.

"Boss, someone named Arthur Gardner recently purchased access to our Platinum Member tier and, then he made a top up of a whopping ten billion dollars," Bob exclaimed.

"Are you serious?" Charles asked incredulously. "Who on Earth would make a top-up of that magnitude? What could have possibly caused them to spend such a large amount with us? Does he plan to purchase my business?"

"That's the issue, boss. He expressed his interest in purchasing this restaurant and hotel, and requested that I inquire about the price. Moreover, the ten billion USD he paid earlier was a down payment, showing that he is serious about his intentions."

Charles, one of Southlake City's most influential figures, was taken aback when he received the news that someone named Arthur Gardner had purchased a Platinum Membership and made a top-up of 10 billion USD at his restaurant and hotel.

Charles was well-known for his wide network of wealthy acquaintances across the city and country. "Arthur Gardner? Who is Arthur Gardner? I've never heard of a Gardner family with that kind of wealth who could buy my business so easily!" Charles exclaimed in disbelief.

"He asked me to ask you right away if you would consider selling it. He said he would pay whatever amount you asked for without hesitation," the person on the phone replied.

"That's incredible... I am interested in the offer. I have already made a significant amount of money through this business and I plan to start a new one. I will consult with the other shareholders, and let you know the price I will offer soon. Please offer the best service to that person, and give him my regards. That man's identity is still a mystery, however if he does indeed have that much wealth, he must come from a well-known family." Charles said.
