The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 94

"There's no way he'd have that kind of money,"

Patrick exclaimed, his voice full of anger. He shook his head in disbelief as Arthur accepted yet another business proposal that even Patrick knew was unreasonably expensive.

"Are you sure you haven't done too much, Mr. Gardner?" Patrick asked skeptically. "Thirty billion dollars is not a small amount of money, are you certain you have that much worth?"

Arthur remained standing, simply offering a smile in response. Not long after, Max ascended the stage and clapped his hands lightly, prompting a standing ovation from the entire audience.

Max exclaimed in awe, standing over Sylvia. "Isn't this just incredible?! Mr. Gardner has agreed to Sylvia's business proposal at an exceptionally favorable rate."

"Are you sure he's not cheating by pouring that much money into this senseless business?!" Patrick asked skeptically, still trying to fight back. He had a feeling that something strange was happening with what Arthur was doing, and he was determined to uncover it that night.

"I think it's essential that we verify the funds promised by Mr. Gardner are in fact accessible," Patrick proposed. "We don't want this prestigious event to be ruined due to someone's careless actions."

"Absolutely," Cash concurred. "We need to ensure that the funds are available before we move forward. We don't want our reputation to be damaged by any thoughtless decisions."

"Let's give a big round of applause for everyone's enthusiasm!" Max exclaimed. He then continued, "The Business Takeover Team has made sure that the funds for investment are securely locked away to protect against any fraudulent activity. Additionally..."

Max then looked outside the stage where the show's producers had already given the signal. Upon seeing the big screen behind them illuminate with a different view of the video, he realized that all the funds promised by Arthur had successfully been transferred.

The audience erupted into applause and praise for Arthur, who had delivered on all his promises. "He really had all the funds he had promised to invest," someone shouted.

"Ch!" Patrick's face was filled with annoyance as he left the stage and returned to his seat. "I'll get him for this! He dared humiliate me in front of so many," he muttered his determination to teach Arthur a lesson and show him who he was palpable. Looking over at Cash Todd, Patrick could tell they were both of the same minds regarding dealing with Arthur.

Cash Todd muttered to himself, sitting next to Arthur, his eyes filled with curiosity, "I think he's purposely hiding his true identity? He's even willing to spend a lot of money for such a ridiculous business. Or could it be that someone really rich is standing behind it? I've never heard of someone with the last name Gardner having that much wealth."

Audience comments grew louder and louder, expressing their admiration and curiosity about Arthur's identity.

"Does Arthur really outshine Patrick?" asked one of the spectators.

"30 billion is an outrageous sum of money – will the business really be able to run smoothly?"

"I'm so curious, who is Arthur Gardner really?" another added.

"I think, if he can get away with that kind of money so easily, is it possible that he has an even greater fortune? I think he could even buy the whole town," someone else suggested.

"You're really going too far," laughed another, "but if I were Arthur Gardner, I definitely wouldn't let go of the opportunity to acquire the business of someone as gorgeous and perfect as Sylvia."

Sylvia, the young girl, stood in disbelief on the stage, her expression calm yet exuberant. Her mind was a swirling mix of joy, sadness, satisfaction, and disbelief.
