Chapter 55 - 55 The Symbol of a Man's Noble Status
Finally, it was the appointed time in the afternoon. They even skipped lunch, as the snacks on the street could serve as a proper meal.
...
Table No. 7 on the open-air floor of Ainai Hotel. Su Lian had previously brought Nalin here for dinner, but this time they were here for afternoon tea.
At this moment, Rex was already walking over with a somewhat pot-bellied uncle dressed in luxurious clothes. However, his eyes, which clearly revealed shrewdness, seemed to contradict his outward appearance.
Rex saw Su Lian and the others, and Su Lian smiled and raised his hand in greeting.
"Hello, Lord Liandel. I am Aaron Bloor, the president of the Bloomer Business Association and Rex's father," Aaron said, preparing to bow.
After all, Su Lian had the surname Suman, and he didn't dare to be negligent.
"No need to bow. Just take a seat. The same goes for Student Rex," Su Lian used his magic power to stop Aaron from bowing, motioned for them to sit down, and at the same time called the waiter.
"Thank you, Lord Liandel," Aaron said with a smile, leading Rex to sit down.
"Have something to drink," Su Lian offered the menu.
"Two cups of black tea will do," Aaron said.

The waiter confirmed the order and left.
"Aren't you surprised that I'm here too?" Nalin asked Rex curiously.
"I was indeed a bit surprised when I first saw you, but it doesn't seem to be something worth being too surprised about, does it?" Rex scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"What an interesting little guy," Nalin said with a smile, and the deep blue color of her pupils quickly turned blood red.
The fluctuation of the strange magic seemed to be trying to pry into Rex's mind!
Aaron was secretly alarmed!
This was...
Blood magic? She could transform her blood pupils. Could she be a member of the blood clan?
Should he stop her? But what was her relationship with Lord Liandel?
Aaron hesitated briefly!
"Nalin!" Su Lian called out with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Hmph."
Nalin then retracted the fluctuation of her blood magic and turned her head to the side. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with Su Lian's interruption of her fun but didn't dare to disobey.
Aaron saw this and was shocked inside.
What was the situation with this Lord Liandel from Prince Esha's family? He could actually subdue and control a blood clan vampire who could use blood magic. With such a powerful magic fluctuation at such a young age, could she be a pure-blood?
Even if she wasn't a pure-blood, she was extremely close to it!
This Liandel, who was the same age as Rex, was far more terrifying than I had imagined!
...
At this moment, the brewed black tea was brought over by the waiter.
After the waiter left, at this position near the edge, there was only their table of guests.
The sound-disturbing and sound-insulating magic had already been cast at the beginning.
"Let me do a brief self-introduction. My name is Suman Liandel, and Suman Esha is my grandfather. This is Nalin Sertet. As you may have guessed, she is a blood clan vampire, but she is also a relatively weak Grand Magician," Su Lian introduced briefly.
"Hello, Lady Sertet," Aaron quickly said.
A relatively weak Grand Magician? This was a sixth-level blood clan vampire, the kind who could use blood magic. Did she count as weak in your eyes?
"Let's get straight to the point," Su Lian said without beating around the bush.
"Please go ahead," Aaron immediately sat up straight, and so did Rex.
"Rex gives me a good impression. Although he's a bit introverted, he's also very smart and good at observing secretly. We happen to have some business ideas but lack suitable partners. I think your Bloomer Business Association is a good fit. Are you interested in a cooperation?" Su Lian asked.
Here it was! It was so straightforward!
Aaron quickly composed himself.
"Our small business association is naturally very willing to accept a business cooperation from a prince. So, may I ask what kind of cooperation it is exactly?" Aaron asked.
He spoke very nicely but didn't directly agree. What if Su Lian asked him to transport some contraband? That would be a disaster.
"You're in the business of clothing and cosmetics. What do you think of women's makeup products and accessories? Is it profitable?" Su Lian instead threw a question.
"The situation in our kingdom is okay. Especially when a noblewoman with high authority thinks that certain cosmetics or accessories are good, they will sell very well soon. So, this business relies a lot on personal connections and information from the noble areas. We generally deal with products f
or middle-class families," Aaron answered truthfully.
"What about men's cosmetics and accessories?" Su Lian continued to ask.
"This..." Aaron was taken aback for a moment.
Did men need these?
At most, what men needed were just some bow ties, hairspray, and similar items, right? Perfumes were also basically fixed, and there wasn't much variety.
Rings? Many nobles wore wedding rings and magic rings on their hands. Wearing too many would actually make them look less aesthetically pleasing.
"The market for men in this regard is seriously lacking. So, we have the idea of filling this gap and directly monopolizing this market," Su Lian said.
Both Aaron and Rex were a bit stunned, while Nalin was curious about what kind of idea Su Lian had come up with this time.
"Of course, we're not asking you to sell men's cosmetics or anything like that. In fact, according to the male concept in our kingdom, except for sissies and homosexuals, no one would use them. So, we plan to start with decorative items and create a kind of accessory that all men of status must have
," Su Lian said directly.
A necessary accessory for all men of status?
If it were the only one of its kind...
Then it was indeed possible to make a huge profit!
"If Your Highness the Prince and Lord Liandel have such an idea and already have a clear target plan, then our Bloomer Business Association will naturally do our best to facilitate the cooperation!" Aaron said directly!
As long as it was a legitimate business, he was willing to take the gamble!
You know, this was an opportunity to get involved with Prince Esha, who was now rising to fame, and he also had the right to use the country's most advanced magic-powered vehicles for transportation. Even if the cooperation failed, if he could use this connection to do other things, he would definit
ely not lose!
As for whether Su Lian, who was only twelve years old, had the right to decide such matters?
Didn't he see the blood clan girl beside him?
This was someone accompanied by a sixth-level blood clan Grand Magician. Having no say? That was simply ridiculous!
...
"Then it's simple," Su Lian smiled.
At the same time, with a snap of his fingers, Uncle Lane immediately appeared beside them.
Aaron and Rex were startled!
Someone who could appear beside them silently and instantly was likely to be a seventh-level War King-level existence! And it might even be a thief or an assassin type!
How many people were secretly protecting this Liandel?
It was terrifying!
"Mr. Aaron, please take a look at this," Uncle Lane took out an exquisite gift box and placed it in front of him.
What was this?
Aaron and Rex were clearly puzzled.
With a look from Su Lian, Aaron reached out and opened it.
Inside the exquisite gift box was a mechanical watch with a golden border and purple magic stones as decorations. The design was very luxurious and elegant. And it was obvious that all the metals were specially made alchemical metals. The degree of luxury was self-evident.
This was clearly not the work of an ordinary mechanic, and it was obviously not for ordinary people to wear.
"Noble women have necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hair accessories, and even ankle accessories as decorations. And there's no need to mention cosmetics,"
"What do men have? To show their noble status, is it just a formal suit and a hairstyle that people are already tired of seeing? Or is it just a magic ring that everyone has and can't have much variation?"
"Don't nobles, wealthy businessmen, and generals need something valuable to show their status?"
"And this."
"Just happens to be something valuable that allows them to keep track of their precious time at any moment and can show their status when they casually raise their wrists to check the time and imply that their time is precious!"
Su Lian made a gesture of raising his right hand and casually revealing a watch that he had already been wearing on his wrist.
Aaron's eyes immediately seemed to shine!
The moment he was enlightened, with his businessman's vision, he saw the possibility of this idea! Even the young Rex could feel the feasibility of this idea.
"Valuable gemstones and magic stones as decorations, personally made by top goblin mechanical masters, combined with unique alchemical metal craftsmanship."
"Noble, elegant, and luxurious."
"At this time, the mechanical watch worn on the hand is no longer just a simple timepiece, but a symbol of your status and position."
"Do you understand?"
"President of the Bloomer Business Association, Mr. Aaron?"
After Su Lian finished speaking, he used his magic power to push the exquisite gift box along with the watch in front of Aaron.
...
Understood, it was really too clear!
Aaron could already imagine that if the mechanical watch was regarded as a luxury item and produced at a high end. Then, if he wore a mechanical watch with all kinds of luxurious gimmicks when attending a banquet in the future, the way other men looked at him would obviously be different.
For men, status and face were far more important than physical beauty!
In short...
"What men want is not decoration, but dignity, Mr. Aaron," Su Lian extended his hand and motioned for Aaron to put on the watch.
Aaron reached out and put the purple magic stone watch with a golden border on his left wrist.
An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart!
"Do you feel it? Under my description just now, what are you wearing now?"
"Answer me."
"President of the Bloomer Business Association, the respected Mr. Aaron."
Su Lian asked in a guiding manner, and the prefix of the address became more and more noble.
"I'm wearing..." Aaron finally understood completely: "A symbol of a man's noble status!"
His eyes also showed a look of pride at this moment, the look that Su Lian wanted to see!
It worked!
...
Uncle Lane closed the exquisite gift box for Aaron and motioned for him to keep it.
"Mr. Aaron, arrange your own time. Three days later, wear this watch and take the magic-powered vehicle to the Liandel Exchange in Peter Holy City and find Emerson of the Lanteng Business Association," Su Lian smiled.
The Lanteng Business Association? Aaron immediately understood that it was one of the well-known large business associations in Avissu.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Aaron," Su Lian stood up and extended his hand.
"Happy cooperation, Lord Liandel," Aaron also stood up and shook his hand in response.
Even though he was asked to find someone else to continue discussing the subsequent matters, he didn't worry at all.
Why?
The Liandel Exchange, named after this name, had already explained everything.
This cooperation belonged to Liandel, Suman Liandel!
It was a huge opportunity, and he must seize it!
