Chapter 94 - Reach for the Stars


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


    Patrick eximed, his voice full of anger. He shook his head in disbelief as Arthur epted 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 dors


    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 pped his hands lightly, prompting a standing ovation from the entire audience.


    Max eximed 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 essible," 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 avable before we move


    forward. We don''t want our reputation to be damaged by any thoughtless decisions."


    "Let''s give a big round of apuse for everyone''s enthusiasm!" Max eximed. 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 sessfully been transferred.


    The audience erupted into apuse 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 thest name Gardner having that much wealth."


    Audiencements 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,"ughed 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.


    “He actually approved my business proposal,” Sylvia muttered, her head spinning as she struggled to


    take in the reality of what was happening before her eyes. "Yes...he really granted my business


    proposal," she murmured, her eyes still ssy with shock.


    "Congrattions again, Sylvia!" Max eximed, his voice full of enthusiasm. "This is the first time in all


    my years of hosting this event that I''ve seen a business proposal as impressive as yours. Plus, you


    managed to get the funding you were aiming for."


    Sylvia nodded slowly in acknowledgment. "Thanks," she replied briefly.


    "You''re so young and yet you''vee up with such an amazing idea! How did you get such a brilliant


    idea? I''m sure you put in a lot of hard work to make it happen!" Max apuded and walked to the


    center of the stage, and the audience followed suit, cheering for Sylvia.


    "Once again, congrattions on your aplishment, Sylvia—your dream is bing a reality! I''m


    looking forward to hearing more good news about the work you''re going to do in the future." Max


    extended his right hand and smiled.


    Sylvia greeted Max''s handshake with a warm, friendly smile. "Thank you, Max," she said, emphasizing


    her words with a quick nod. "I will work harder and harder after this, dedicating my life to this big


    dream."


    Turning to Arthur, Sylvia fell silent, taken aback by his calm and rxed demeanor despite having just


    agreed to a business proposal with such arge investment value. "Mr. Gardner," she finally said, her


    voice full of gratitude, "thank you for the opportunity you have given me."


    Arthur nodded and returned a warm smile. Their gaze connected, and Sylvia beamed.


    Once Sylvia stepped away from the podium, the event resumed with the following participants. Each


    gave a remarkable performance, yet despite the expectations that Arthur would quickly fund their


    projects, he ultimately only selected five.


    "I think Arthur Gardner is just a person with an abundance of wealth who is squandering his money, but


    he really chooses all his decisions with thorough consideration," someone said.


    "I agree," his friend replied. "He only selects business ideas that have a great concept and promise for


    the future. The remarkable part is, he doesn''t seem to worry about the cost of the investment he


    makes, as long as the business concept is remarkable, then he''s ready to go."


    "I wish I could alsoe up with such an innovative business idea,"


    "I want to pursue my aspirations and join this program in the uing season,"


    "This is amazing," Arthur eximed, beaming with satisfaction at the result of the business proposal


    event he attended that night. He had carefully chosen five people he felt would best fulfill his vision


    based on his set criteria.


    Arthur had carefully chosen a team of highly talented individuals that he knew he could trust to help him


    realize his vision. These people were passionate and dedicated to their cause; Arthur believed that with


    their support, they could create a brighter future for all.


    After a few minutes, the remarkable event hade to an end, and the audience apuded in


    appreciation for the numerous aplishments of the night. This was the most sessful season


    thus far, allowing many talented individuals to find their way and inspiring many to dare to dream again.


    "Thank you for this incredible evening, Mr. Winter and Mr. Todd," Arthur said, rising to his feet and


    beginning to leave.


    "I know we''re thinking the same thing, Mr. Winter," Cash muttered under his breath as Arthur walked


    away.


    "Yeah, I think I''m going topletely destroy that guy," Patrick answered in an even tone.


    "Is it possible he is the same person as he who had caused chaos in this city?" Cash continued.


    "Glitzy? I''m not sure," Patrick said with a re, "but I have a suspicion that Glitzy is part of this Arthur


    Gardner. I haven''t felt this much enthusiasm in a long time," he added, clenching his fists.
