Chapter 1398: A Business Proposal
“Miss Hazel, I have a business proposal that I believe can be very profitable for you,” Dustin got straight to the point.
“Oh? What kind of business?” Hazel became intrigued.
“It’s not something I can discuss over the phone. Let’s meet at Emperor’s Pavilion in an hour for a face-to-face conversation,” Dustin suggested.
“Alright, I’ll be there. Don’t keep me waiting.”
…
After hanging up the phone, Dustin left his home.
With Maximus guarding the house, he didn’t have to worry about any tricks from the Stratford and Torby families.
At noon, at Emperor’s Pavilion.
Dustin entered through the front door and was led upstairs by a waiter, finally entering a private room.
Inside the room, Hazel, dressed in a red qipao, was leisurely sipping tea.
Today, she had applied light makeup, held a scented fan, and her long, jet-black hair was coiled elegantly at the back of her head.
Her voluptuous figure, accentuated by the tight qipao, appeared extremely enticing.
Especially her pair of fair, shapely legs, overlapped gracefully, radiated a seductive charm.
Her clothing style, though following a vintage and elegant route, exuded a seductive and captivating aura.
The combination of these two different styles strangely produced an alternative form of allure.
“Oh, young handsome has arrived? Please, take a seat,” Hazel greeted as she stood up, her smiles and frowns alluring in every way.
“Miss Hazel, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too long,” Dustin took his seat gracefully.
“No worries, I just got here myself,” Hazel smiled as she poured a cup of tea. “Here, I personally brewed this, give it a try.”
Dustin picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and nodded. “Great tea, though it does have a unique taste.”
“Of course, the things I like must be unique,” Hazel replied with a meaningful smile.
At some point, she had already taken off her high heels. Her jade-like feet, hidden under the table, intentionally or unintentionally, began to slowly climb up Dustin’s thigh.
“Miss Hazel, shall we get down to business?” Dustin calmly retracted his leg without leaving a trace. “I invited you out because I’m planning to collaborate with you in starting a business and making money together.”
“Making money?” Hazel smirked. “When it comes to that, I’m wide awake. What’s the plan for making money?”
“Do you happen to know about Jade Dew Ointment?” Dustin asked in return.
“I haven’t heard of it,” Hazel shook her head.
“Jade Dew Ointment is a type of external wound medicine, similar in function to Healwell Clinic’s Golden Wound Medicine, but with even stronger effects,” Dustin explained.
“Stronger? How much stronger?” Hazel seemed somewhat skeptical.
“At least ten times stronger!” Dustin’s statement was astonishing.
“Ten times?”
At Hazel’s surprised response, her eyelids flickered, and her expression became more serious. “You… aren’t joking, are you?”
“If Miss Hazel doesn’t believe me, I can demonstrate it to you,” Dustin said and suddenly pulled out a knife, making a deep cut on his arm.
Instantly, the skin split open, and blood began to flow.
“If you don’t use true energy to protect yourself, even a grandmaster can’t avoid getting injured by a blade or a spear.”
Hazel was startled and quickly pulled out her own handkerchief to dress Dustin’s wound.
Her charming face displayed genuine concern.
