CHAPTER 627
This is common sense in this world, if you are going to offer an apology, at least give some benefits or you will prove that you are not sincere. Conrad only wanted to mitigate the problem, spending as little as he could and that was why he had not offered anything.
This showed how insincere he was and Andrew was ignorant of this. To him the problem that Conrad caused was not something to take into account, so he did not plan to make things difficult for him, but now that Gaston intervened, he noticed Conrad's lack of respect.
Conrad being thick-skinned as he was, immediately smiled feigning embarrassment, and quickly said, "Of course, I brought an apology gift," and without waiting for anyone to say anything, he took out several boxes of firebird eggs from his dimensional bag.
While it was a substantial amount, it did not show sincerity, because to Conrad a quantity of products like these were insignificant. Even Andrew who had no knowledge of this before, felt the insult of the supposed apology gift.
Wrinkling his eyebrows, Andrew said, "It seems that Mr. Conrad is not very sincere," which made Conrad scrunch his face, but before he could say anything, Andrew added, "Alright, I'll let it go for this time."
Conrad immediately noticed Andrew's cold tone and knew that he had made an enemy, but any attempt to improve the situation now was not appropriate, so he remained silent. Andrew, for his part, looked at him and said, "Mr. Conrad, there will be no second chance. I hope you will not bother me again and your transactions with me are over."
Without waiting for Conrad to respond, he looked at Oliver, who understood and stepped forward and said to Conrad, "Mr. Conrad, I will escort you to the exit," and without waiting for his response he urged him to leave.
Conrad had never felt so humiliated, but he still controlled himself. It was obvious what Andrew was saying to him, "I will not do anything this time, but do not appear before me again," was what he wanted to say.
As he left Cannes Palace, Conrad got into his carriage with a bitter expression, for he had made an enemy of someone he shouldn't have, but he still felt a little relieved that Andrew didn't hold a grudge against him.
In short, as long as Conrad didn't mess with Andrew, he wouldn't do anything, and considering the situation, it was the best solution he could get. At least that's what he thought.
In reality, Conrad was stupid in handling the situation. If he had offered an egg supply contract as an apology, perhaps things would have been better, but his arrogance blinded him.
He thought that if he could appease Andrew from retaliating at a low price, it was his gain, but in reality, he missed an opportunity. If he had been more proactive, he could have become Andrew's partner.
He may not have achieved his goal of winning over the Pixoy family through Andrew with this partnership, but at least they would be on better terms, however, for him, this deal deserved better rewards. Meanwhile, in the office, before Oliver returned, Gaston could only sulk as he cursed, "That bastard…", and Candice also said, "You let him off too easy."
Andrew smiled at the two and replied, "Well, honestly, I don't want to get involved with him anymore. We don't have time to waste on an idiot," and at that moment Oliver re-entered the office. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
"Young master," Oliver said as if he wanted to say something, but Andrew beat him to it and said, "Don't slack off on him. Make sure he doesn't do anything strange and if he does, just clean him up."
In his words, Oliver understood what Andrew wanted. He didn't see Conrad as someone he should worry about, but he didn't relax either. At this, Oliver just nodded and left again.
Meanwhile, at the Pixoy family mansion, inside Damon's office, a young vampire was informed of Conrad's visit to Cannes Palace. He always kept an eye on what was happening with Andrew and his companions, so obviously, he would find out about this visit.
Damon listened calmly to what his subordinate told him and although they did not know what had been discussed, Damon instructed, "Keep an eye on Conrad. If he tries anything, notify us immediately."
The vampire nodded and left. Damon, now alone in the office, massaged his forehead and said to himself, "This bastard really thinks he can do whatever he wants in our territory."
While all this was happening, in the demon realm, more specifically in the Heavenly Palace that Andrew had created, Ayla woke up. Although she was still sore and badly injured, she was not as bad as when she was found by Cany and the others.
Seraphine had brought her and even hired a doctor to treat her, but although she was covered in bandages, her life was not in danger. The girl woke up disoriented and even panicked when she saw that she was in an unfamiliar room.
Unfortunately, she couldn't move due to her injuries and when she was thinking about how to escape, the door opened and Seraphine, along with Cady, Karny, and Luz entered carrying a tray with food and water.
"How are you feeling?" Seraphine asked, ignoring Ayla's distrustful expression. The little bird girl didn't answer, but instead looked at the four visitors cautiously. Seraphine smiled and spoke again, "Relax girl. We won't hurt you. These three found you in the mountains, badly injured and unconscious, and brought you here to heal you."
Only after those words did Ayla notice that she was bandaged and her wounds recovered. Seraphine smiled at the harpy's realization and looking at Cany said, "Let her eat something. She must be very weak."
Cany assisted and approached Ayla, who backed away a little making her suffer a little from the pain, then Cany said, "You shouldn't move, you're still hurt," and sitting on the bed, she showed the tray with food she had.@@novelbin@@
Ayla upon seeing the food was immediately attacked by hunger, but she refused to receive the food, but Cany countered it with kindness and Ayla could not refuse for long, so she received the food.
Due to her injuries, it was difficult for her to eat, so Cany, Karny, and Luz helped her, which embarrassed the little harpy, but she did not refuse. Hunger was stronger than her pride.
The three succubi were patient and fed her little by little until Ayla finished all the food they had brought her. Visibly more composed, Seraphine approached her, sat down next to her and began to ask her about what had happened.
"I know this isn't nice, but can you tell us your name and what happened?" Seraphine asked in a loving tone, making Ayla feel closer to her, but remembering what had happened, Ayla could only shed tears, then Seraphine approached her and hugging her to her abundant chest she comforted her, "Relax. You're safe, there's no need to tell us right away."
