Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Eric Carter Seeks to Visit

Peter Brown was having dinner with Eleanor Grant when a knock at the door interrupted them. Eleanor hurried to open the door.

"You..." Eleanor was a bit flustered when she saw that it was Eric Carter, not sure how to react.

"Greetings, little sister. Is Mr. Brown in?" Eric, however, seemed very respectful.

Peter Brown, having already seen through his Divine Sense that it was Eric, wondered what the old man was here for and said: "Come in."

Eric Carter courteous thanked Eleanor Grant before walking in.

The moment he saw Peter Brown, Carter respectfully bent over and said, "Mr. Brown, I am here to express my gratitude."

Peter Brown nodded slightly at Eric, "Sit down, your health is improving. However, you need to practice restraint, especially when it comes to taking all kinds of messy medication."

"Absolutely, I’ll follow your advice."

"You didn’t just come to express gratitude today, did you?" Peter asked knowingly.

Eric chuckled, "Mr. Brown, you are a secluded Divine Doctor. I believe that if you were to promote your medication, it would sell very well."

Peter Brown glanced at Eric. The old man did have a sense of business acumen. However, he also had an idea when he saw Eleanor Grant.

Eleanor should also have something to do. He needs someone to help earn a bit of money.

"Actually, Mr. Brown, most of the people I know are having issues with their health. The market potential for your product is massive." Eric became excited as he voiced his thoughts.

"Mmm, everyone knows that."

"Indeed. Once a man surpasses thirty-five years of age, and it doesn’t even have to be forty, he could be attracted to beautiful women but his physical inability is a reality. It’s tragic that many wealthy men are rendered helpless," Eric stated fervently, unashamed of speaking openly about such things in front of Eleanor.

Upon hearing this, Eleanor turned red and quickly excused herself to the kitchen.

"Mr. Brown, if you’re willing, this business can really be successful. I can help you expand the market. I don’t want anything in return, I’ll just assist you."

"Is it because you need me to treat a VIP?" Peter inquired suddenly.

Taken aback, Eric gave a thumbs up and voiced, "Indeed, you saw right through me. To be frank, I’m in the coal business and there are some government officials overseeing us. There is one particular key leader who is facing a serious health problem. If we can cure him, it would make a great difference to my business."

This old man was really direct, indeed a man with ambitions.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely pay for the treatment, ten million!"

Peter chuckled, "There is no major issue with that. In fact, I was considering starting a business similar to the one you just proposed. I am thinking of letting Eleanor establish a health wine company. We can use your ten million as an investment in it. Furthermore, if you are interested, you can invest another two hundred million in exchange for ten percent of the share. How does that sound?"

"Seriously?"

Eric’s eyes lit up.

"The effects of this wine are indisputable. It can improve physical health and does not leave any lingering effects after consumption."

"Does the wine have the same effect as the medicine I am taking?"

"Yes, it’s just milder."

Slapping his thigh, Eric announced enthusiastically, "It’s a deal! The market is huge. If we can get it going, we can not only cover our local market, but also overseas markets. I feel I’m getting a steal here."

Eric then hesitated, "I’m most worried about this wine being so effective - will there be others trying to steal it?"

Peter only smiled faintly and said, "Anyone who dares to lay a hand on it will disappear."

While speaking, a ball of flame had already appeared in Peter’s hands. He threw it towards a chair, completely disintegrating it in an instant.

Staring in shock at the ashes the chair had turned into, Eric was dumbfounded. He was shocked at Peter’s capabilities; the more he understood Peter, the more he feared him.

Peter chuckled and said, "As a matter of fact, I would like to see if anyone dares to meddle in my business."

"This is great!"

The revelations left Eric Carter in awe. He knew he had chanced upon someone extraordinary and felt nothing but gratitude for having brought Eleanor to Peter.

Peter Brown looked at Eric and said, "Eleanor just started learning. You should not bully her. I will put a slight hint of my Divine Sense on her, and if anything happens to her, I will know immediately."

"I wouldn’t dare, not at all. I will work diligently and assist her faithfully."

"Good. You can arrange the time for the treatment of the leader. Worry more about the wine factory."

"Mr. Brown, rest assured, I will handle this matter carefully. By the way, I was wondering where the winery should be?"

"The factory can be located anywhere. The next step is to set up offices in the provincial and Kingston cities. The headquarters should be in Kingston, where I will be studying."

"I will be very conscientious."

Peter Brown took out a jade talisman and handed it to Eric, "This is a talisman that I made. Wear it. It can block three bullets for you."

"What?" Eric was absolutely shocked. He didn’t understand Peter’s methods. He decided that he needed to watch his step when working for Peter. Although Eleanor was his ex-girlfriend, he needed to maintain a certain distance from her in the future so as not to cause any misunderstandings with Peter.

Peter Brown called for Eleanor and explained the whole situation to her. He told her to keep in touch with Eric, and that they would be responsible for setting up the wine factory.

Peter didn’t worry about Eleanor and Eric causing trouble. He had placed a bit of his Divine Sense on Eleanor, so if anything happened, he would be the first to know. He also gave Eleanor the jade talisman.

Eleanor had already undergone significant changes since Peter had imparted a mass of knowledge to her. The only thing lacking now was real-world experience. Peter was confident she would grow quickly after some practical exposure.

After chatting for a bit, Eric left. Eleanor watched him leave then turned to Peter and asked, "Do you really trust him?"

Peter just laughed and replied, "In this world, trust is not the problem, interest is the key. Eric is smart, he knows what’s clear. Even if he doesn’t, and even if he wants to, he can’t do anything. For me, eliminating someone is not a big challenge."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor was shocked. Peter seemed even more mysterious in her eyes. She decided that she had to serve Peter well, and absolutely could not harbor any thoughts of betrayal.
