BXBX NOVEL Chapter 378 Hugged And Watched
Paul looked at the man and then pointed his hand at Arthur.
"This young man bought the vineyard, now he wants to pay off its debt to us," Paul replied.
What he said instantly froze the faces of all the villagers, leaving not a single voice to be heard.
They were shocked to the point that their eyes went blank.
Although in terms of appearance Arthur and the other two were indeed very conspicuous, but the vineyard was worth hundreds of millions of Euros, even billionaires would not necessarily buy it unless they were in a certain mood.
Would the young man really buy it?
Where did he get that much money from?
From his parents?
Question after question filled the villagers' heads.
"Paul, can you repeat yourself?" asked a middle-aged woman who was a bit chubby but looked like she still wanted to look pretty.
Paul shook his head, knowing that the middle-aged woman wasn't really not listening, she just wanted to hear it again.
"I'm telling the truth," he said.
"Now, those of you whose wages have not been paid can come forward in turn to ask them for it."
He made an inviting gesture.
"Me, me, that vineyard owes 5000 Euros to me, here's the proof!" An old man who looked like a drunkard stepped forward, carrying a letter.
He seemed to keep carrying the letter, so he didn't have to take it back.
Arriving in front of Arthur, he said in a quick voice, "quick, give me the money."
The other villagers looked at him quietly, waiting for Arthur's reaction to see if this was real.
Arthur didn't answer, but Bella said, "give me your account number, old man, I'll transfer it now."
"I don't have an account," the old man replied suddenly.
"Just give me cash," he added as he extended his hand to Bella.
He looked at her face and seemed to be amazed by her beauty. Even then glanced at her thighs which were exposed quite a lot as the skirt was quite short.
Bella was uncomfortable with the old man's gaze, but she pretended not to feel anything. She replied, "no cash, we will only pay by transfer."
"Nonsense!" The old man suddenly instantly became angry after hearing Bella's words. "I've been working in that vineyard since I was young, and I've always been paid in cash. Miss, don't try to interfere with our tradition."
"What do you mean, you think it's called tradition?" Bella was rarely scolded by people, and now that she was being scolded by an old man who gave an unpleasant impression, she naturally became angry right away.
"Go and set up a bank account if you want your money, otherwise, don't even think about it."
"Little miss, have you never learned about morality, how dare you speak rudely to an old man."
"...."
In no time, their conversation became an argument.
The old man clearly had mental problems, and the problem was that Bella was also the type to get easily carried away when she talked to people she didn't like.
Another problem was that the villagers including Paul were just observing quietly, no one said anything as if they didn't care at all.
"Bella!" In the end, Arthur grabbed Bella's hand for her to stop arguing with the old man.
Apparently, Arthur's touch instantly calmed Bella down, as if she had found a cold cup of wine in the heat.
Arthur then looked at Paul.
"Are there going to be more people asking for cash?" he asked him.
"Probably," Paul replied.
"Hmph, this village isn't far from Paris, but life here is really backward," Bella chimed in, snorting coldly.
The other villagers looked embarrassed when they heard that.
Unfortunately they were quite traditional in their way of life, there were many conservative people here.
"Miss, I can help!" Suddenly the middle-aged woman from before stepped forward.
"I have quite a stash of cash, and of course, I also have a mobile banking app. You can pay them using my services," she said.
Her eyes flickered, indicating that she wanted something. That was to be expected, she clearly wanted the commission from each service.
"How many do you have?" asked Arthur.
"50K!" the woman replied as she held up all five fingers.
"And I want you to send me 55K. Of course, there is an extra 4K due to debt because the vineyard also has a debt to my husband."
"Madam, you're really greedy," Bella said after hearing her words.
"I'm not being pushy, if you mind, you can go to Paris to collect the cash," the woman replied, not caring about Bella's words.
"Hmph, only 5k, as if I care. Take your money and come back here." Bella would rather lose than have to do such a troublesome thing.
After hearing that, the middle-aged woman finally smiled.
"Ahh, you're really generous, miss," she said before turning around and leaving towards one of the biggest houses in the village. It seemed that she was indeed wealthy.
Bella didn't care about her for much longer.
She looked at the others and said, "the ones with an bank account, come forward now!"
Fortunately, those with bank accounts still outnumbered those without, so things were easier.
Some people also didn't mind having their money sent to the accounts of others, who were related to them.
Through bank transfers, things are much faster.
After about 30 minutes, Bella managed to pay off all the debts.
Getting a lot of money, the villagers seemed very happy, starting to look at Arthur, Bella, and Carla with a pleasant look.
"Let's go." However, Bella did not seem to want to stay in the village any longer.
She held Arthur's hand, and tried to pull him away.
Since Arthur also wanted to rush to the property he had bought, so he nodded and took a step.
"By the way, young man, are you still going to take care of the vineyard? If you need workers, you can contact us." Paul apparently followed them, and offered his services to Arthur.
Hearing that, Bella glanced at him sarcastically.
She seemed to want to mock him, but was probably too lazy to open her mouth to speak.
Arthur waved his hand in response and said, "just wait for news from me!"
Maybe the winery wouldn't be operated anymore because it would become his headquarters, but he thought the vineyard needed to keep going.
The activities there could also reduce the strangeness.
At best, only the villagers would feel strange, but they were practically easier to suppress than the public.
Paul stopped following Arthur after hearing his answer, he nodded lightly to him.
Only, Arthur had another problem because even though Paul wasn't following, the young men of the village were actually still watching them.
They weren't following them, but watching from afar using binoculars.
Perhaps it was because it was a large area, so almost every youngster had binoculars.
Carla and Bella could feel their gazes with their strength now.
"I know, those village boys must be very desirous of us," Bella said, stating the fact directly while glancing at Carla.
The latter rolled her eyes at that.
It was unfortunate that it was a fact because they were so beautiful.
This kind of thing might be something unpleasant as it could result in danger. However, those village youths could not possibly cause harm with their strength.
And they were probably afraid to do something after knowing how rich they were.
Of course, it wouldn't be Bella if she didn't have strange ideas.
As she and the other two started to enter the vineyard and head towards the winery, she suddenly stopped Arthur in his tracks.
Her actions confused Carla so she asked, "what are you doing?"
On the other hand, Arthur was still quite calm as he thought he understood Bella's wishes.
"It's a nice place, it's a pity if we don't do some romantic things," Bella replied.
She hugged Arthur with one hand after she said that, and caressed his chest with her other hand.
"Carla, even though it's my day, I don't mind sharing for a while," she said, looking at Carla with a strange smile.
Her words were quite surprising, and Carla could immediately understand because they had already talked about sharing several times.
Surprisingly, she couldn't help but be intrigued.
She didn't know why, but it was probably because of her feelings for Arthur, so she wanted to make him look really great.
Wasn't it like that when Arthur was hugged by two beautiful women under the watchful eyes of other young men.
After looking into Bella's eyes again, Carla finally made her move. She stopped right behind Arthur before hugging him from there.
The hug was quite tight, even her breasts became flat from pressing against Arthur's back.
Even for Arthur, when hugged from the front and back, he still felt enough sensation to make him take a deep breath.
"Hehehe!" Bella laughed, looking at Arthur's face.
"Although you are always indifferent, but I believe you have the same nature as other men, having the satisfaction of showing your superiority and your success in relationships with women to other men," she said in a joking tone.
What she said was not wrong actually.
And Arthur didn't take offense either, he calmly replied, "I work hard because I want to excel in everything. That's the fact."
When it comes to being honest, Arthur is unquestionable as he is not the type to lie to himself.
Of course, the sight instantly made the young men of the village tremble.
"Damn, this is the legendary Harem life," said one of them.
