Chapter 251 - 248: Series Of Meetings II (1/2)

The address Ben sent led them to the outskirt of Windor's Capital. When they finally arrived, Charlton and Kylo went down of the carriage to be welcomed by Ben Ringer and about 4 employees.

”Lord Daniel, welcome to our company's warehouse. I apologize for not being able to round up all our employees. Most of them are still in town working on the final touches of our main store for the opening.” Ben said as he smiled.

”No worries Mr. Ringer. By the way, this is my friend, Kylo Louis, the 2nd prince of Alighieri. He's here to see the automobiles too. I hope that's alright with you.” Charlton explained.

Ben smiled and gave a 30-degree bow, ”your highness, welcome to Benz-motors. I apologize for not recognizing you immediately.”

Kylo just nodded his head. Well, they were not close, and what if this greedy merchant was just trying to take advantage of his friend?

Charlton just shook his head with Kylo being unfriendly.

Ben did not take it to heart and instead just enthusiastically guided the two towards the warehouse. ”Lord Daniel, I hope that I did not cause any inconvenience. I invited you to come because I wanted to show you the models which already arrived.”

Ben was very glad that Charlton signed his name on their contract on an earlier date. When he was at the port to collect his goods, he experienced some red tape. However, when he showed that one of the owners of the imported products' company was Charlton, the person-in-charge gave him priority. Thus, the transaction was made faster, and he did not experience getting extorted.

Charlton looked around the warehouse and saw that there were about 60 motor vehicles inside. He recognized what model each were from the catalogue Ben sent him last time.

”This is the first batch that arrived. It's not yet a lot, but every 3 days, another set of 80 would arrive. At this rate, by July 8, we would at least have 460 units for sale. We will have the Victoria, Velo, 8hp and the Omnibus by then. The omnibus is a newer model, but it basically works and runs the same. Since it would just be the first launching, I think 460 would be good enough. It's not a cheap product and not a lot of people would be able to afford it. However, just in case, we can always accept reservation.” Ben explained.

”I see.” Charlton said as he curiously looked at the vehicles, they all looked impressive, but he was not really able to imagine how they would run.

”Please, let me show you how it works.” Ben offered. He was excited to show them himself.

”Alright. If you may please.” Charlton said.

Kylo just stared trying to act like nothing can faze him. Although the vehicles looked impressive, he did not really understand how it would run on its own.

Ben asked two of his employees, to push one Benz- Victoria forward for him to show Charlton and Kylo how it was operated.

Kylo who was staring skeptically as they do so told Charlton in a low voice, ”They're just pushing it forward. Don't tell me it would run without a horse but instead would need people to push it to run. Charlton, I think you've been duped.”

Charlton tsked, ”Kylo, just look first.”

Anyway, when the benz Victoria was in front of them, Ben called them over.

”Okay, so let me show you how this baby works.” Ben said as he moved around the car.
