Chapter 152: The Fame

Cough!

Cough!

"Save me..."

Becky's painful groans echoed from the ground, and people snapped back to reality.

Immediately, a witch dressed as a nurse walked to Becky's side and levitated him away for healing.

Meanwhile, the others didn't even look at Becky.

Arthur approached Kevin and patted his little head in praise. Kevin was very happy and kept talking.

After encouraging Kevin with a few more words, Arthur turned his gaze towards the audience.

"Do any of you have any more questions?"

One sentence ignited the entire hall.

"Mr. Gaunt, do you have any intention to sell?"

"Mr. Gant, I am the head of the Rolls family! As long as you agree to sell us some alchemical beings, you can name your price."

"Get lost! What is the Rolls family? Mr. Gaunt, We, the Knott family, are willing to offer double."

"..."

The whole hall got loud and busy, like a Muggle market. Almost all of the wealthy families wanted to buy Kevin-like alchemical beings.

They had witnessed the power of Kevin's spells just now—casting instantly with Auror-level strength.

It was enough to make these pure-blooded people put their pride aside and fight to buy products.

Arthur looked at these people, feeling happy. With the financial support of these people, he would have more confidence in his research.

"Gentlemen, I do have some products for sale, but now doesn't seem to be the time to discuss them. We can have a good chat after the exchange meeting."

Arthur shouted loudly, didn't care about others' reactions, and sat down next to Fleur.

There were still other alchemists who needed to make presentations. He couldn't overshadow them.

Fleur looked at Arthur excitedly, her face slightly blushing.

"Darling, you're amazing!"

Although Fleur didn't understand alchemy very well, she knew the importance of Arthur creating alchemical beings.

She was proud to have a boyfriend like him.

Arthur took Fleur's hand, and their fingers touched. They could feel the warmth of each other's fingers.

Arthur said firmly to Fleur, "This time, I will leave an alchemical being with you as a safety measure. Don't refuse. It may be precious in the eyes of others, but for me, it's just something I made casually." .

Fleur didn't feel angry at Arthur's domineering words because she knew it was his way of caring and showing concern for her.

She nodded silently and accepted Arthur's arrangement.

Although Arthur's creations had already shocked the entire audience, the presentation event had to continue.

Unfortunately, the following alchemists had bad luck because of Arthur's influence.

Even though some of their works were great in Arthur's eyes, they didn't make a big splash.

Arthur had spoiled everyone's appetite, so these great works didn't make anyone feel excited again.

Those alchemists felt frustrated, but they didn't dare blame Arthur for it. As long as this incident spread, Arthur would immediately become one of the world's top alchemists.

How could these people be mad at him when they were still trying to flatter him?

During the free exchange time in the afternoon, everyone crowded around Arthur.

Once again, he became the center of attention.

The heads of some pure-blood families hoped that Arthur would sell them some alchemical beings.

Meanwhile, some alchemists wanted to exchange knowledge with Arthur.

In short, everyone hoped to gain benefits from Arthur.

Arthur welcomed them all and sold a batch of alchemical beings to these pure-blood families at a high price.

Although these pure-blooded felt somewhat hesitant about their Galleons, they still bought a set for the sake of their families.

Arthur was almost laughing like a flower.

These pure-blood families were even richer than he had imagined.

He was going to ask for ridiculously high prices, but these people didn't even blink and agreed to his terms.

In fact, he had no idea that these pure-blood families believed creating an alchemical being was incredibly difficult.

They were afraid that Arthur might not sell to them if they tried to bargain.

This was the result of information bias.

During the event, Arthur also mentioned Becky's situation.

He casually brought up a few things, and immediately, a few French families expressed they would be happy to explain things to Arthur.

Arthur believed that after the meeting, Becky wouldn't have time to bother Fleur anymore since Becky himself would be too busy struggling for his own survival.

Fudge squeezed his way into the crowd and approached Arthur.

"Mr. Gaunt, you were truly amazing this time. The entire British wizarding world will be proud of you."

Fudge looked at Arthur with a kind and friendly smile on her face.

Especially at this peaceful moment of Sirius Black's escape, he believed it could divert the attention of many people.

These past few days, it had been tough for Fudge.

The Daily Prophet published news about Sirius Black every day, and the Ministry of Magic's failure to capture him also sparked many people's dissatisfaction.

Fudge had been busy and overwhelmed recently, but Arthur's appearance had saved him.

Fudge firmly promised to apply for a first-class Order of Merlin for Arthur in recognition of his huge contributions to alchemy.

Arthur politely exchanged a few words with Fudge, the kind and warm man.

As for the Order of Merlin, he had long expected it.

Nicolas Flamel and Ms. Perenelle smiled from a distance, looking at this scene with great satisfaction.

Arthur was like their own child, and they were very happy to see their own child achieve such great success.

The exchange session continued into the evening, with a group of old men constantly pestering Arthur to discuss alchemy topics.

If Arthur hadn't insisted on going back to rest, those alchemists probably would have kept him busy until morning.

Arthur was tired, but he also felt like he had done something important. As soon as he got back to his room, he fell asleep for a long time.

Meanwhile, the influence brought by the alchemical beings quickly spread to different parts of the world...
