RISE OF EROS

Oliver went and rushed back from Johan's shop in less than an hour and informed Andrew that he had fulfilled his order, then went back to doing his job.

On the other hand, Carolina and the courtesans were very animated testing the cream on themselves. Although it was a product that had not been tested, in quotes, they all knew that if Andrew had given it to them for use, it was because there were no problems.

They quickly put a mask on their faces. Although the cream technically rejuvenates the skin, it would certainly be too wasteful to smear it all over the body, although it was possible, with the amount to be used, Andrew would have to produce only for a few people, so he stated that such a cream would only be used for the face, neck, and arms.

Also, although this world indeed has an advanced textile industry, it is still not at the level of Earth, so generally women only show without clothes is the face and arms, so the cream is intended for those places.

On the other hand, Johan also started testing. As an expert in these products, he found a middle-aged woman who was already beginning to show her age.

The woman was not beautiful, but she was not ugly either. Her hair was starting to lose color, and several wrinkles could be seen on her face. Johan told her to use the rejuvenating cream on her face, neck, and arms according to Andrew's recommendations.

The small bottle that contains the cream is not very big, but the amount of cream to be used for these three parts of the body is not excessive either, so the bottle of cream would last for 1 week if used properly.

The woman had been a long-time employee of Johan's and although it was not her job to test products, it was not unusual for Johan to ask his employees to try new products from time to time.

If they were dangerous they would obviously refuse, but Johan was always a good boss and his employees trusted him so they didn't worry that the product would cause health problems, plus they got extra pay so they were happy to be selected.

However, this woman could not believe that this time, Johan had no idea if the product was safe. Johan trusted Andrew for some reason, but he wasn't sure, but he had to test the product with his employees, as he couldn't let the news get out before he started selling.

He is a very experienced businessman and he knew that the leak could bring a lot of trouble, so he just prayed that Andrew's words were real and his employee doesn't have any complications.

Quickly a week passed. Andrew had continued to send Oliver to Johan's store to buy supplies to increase the inventory of rejuvenating creams, birth control pills, and vitality drinks.

Carolina and the Girls, on the other hand, were fascinated with the effects of the cream. Their skins were soft, shiny, and creamy, with no signs of damage or deterioration, they looked so much younger and more beautiful, beyond belief.

Even Carolina, who had incomparable beauty and took good care of her body, was surprised because the change was not small. The beautiful lady had the skin of a baby, which made her much more attractive and if it wasn't for her strong will not mix pleasure and work, Andrew would have devoured her without scruples in the office.

Across town at Johan's shop, the situation was no different. Johan looked in amazement at his employee, who had used the rejuvenating cream at his request and his eyes were wide with surprise, even his half-open mouth had not been able to close in a while.

The middle-aged woman a week ago, seemed to have disappeared. The few wrinkles that were already visible a week ago, completely disappeared, even some skin blemishes that she had left without a trace, if it weren't for her hair still fading in some parts, it would be difficult to say how old the woman was.

The woman was more than happy with the cream. She was not stupid, she had constantly checked herself in the mirror to observe the changes in the cream, in the end, she had to give a complete report of the advantages and disadvantages of the product, but seeing herself younger every day in the mirror, she could not find disadvantages in the cream and in this way, she notifies her boss.

Although surprised, Johan did not dismiss his employee's report which was quite detailed. Still, it was only when his employee told him that she did not find any complications or disadvantages that Johan became serious.

In the medicine and cosmetics sector of this world, there are few products without side effects or disadvantages, only a great master alchemist can create perfect medicines and elements and for that, they must be experts in the subject.

This made Johan reflect, because, although his employee is not an alchemist, she is certainly not a layperson on these issues, so Johan believed her in the fact of the disadvantageous effects of the cream, and that told him, that Andrew had contact with a master alchemist and that was not simple.

Like Carolina at the time, Johan had confused the situation, but Andrew didn't know it and even if he did, he wouldn't solve the misunderstanding, because it worked in his favor.

Johan, not wanting to wait any longer, told his butler to prepare the carriage and in less than half an hour his carriage parked at the entrance to the Heavenly Palace, where he was received by Victor cordially and respectfully.

In a few minutes, Johan and his butler entered the Heavenly Palace office, where Andrew and Carolina were waiting for them, as Victor had already told them through one of the guards when he saw Johan's carriage in the distance.

"Welcome Mr. Johan", Andrew greeted with a smile, as he walked up to the medicine dealer and extended his hand. Johan did not act strange and shaking Andrew's outstretched hand replied, "Nice to see you again Andrew".

After some cordialities and greetings to Johan's butler and Carolina, they took their seats, and with emotion, Johan opened the conversation, "Mr. Andrew, your cream is truly miraculous", to which Andrew only smiled.

Johan wasted no time and quickly went into negotiation mode. He ask about the number of products they could deliver, as well as the price and other issues related to cooperation, such as transportation.

The negotiation was fast and smooth. Andrew as the producer had the last word and although Johan wanted to expand the production, Andrew strongly stopped him, because he knew that at the moment his production plan was the best.

Only Carolina and Oliver knew that he was the hidden alchemist and even though he needed money, he would work it like crazy every day making medicine, not to mention that his pharmacology skill was limited.

Andrew established that 100 bottles of rejuvenating creams, 100 birth control pills, and 100 vitality drinks would be delivered daily. The latter two had already been priced and weren't expensive, but the creams were set at 5 small gold coins each and Johan promised not to sell them at a price higher than 10 small gold coins.

In this way, both Johan and Andrew would earn 5 small gold coins. It was also established that the materials for the manufacture of medicines would be purchased by Andrew from Johan's store.

Johan offered to cover that expense, but Andrew declined as that way he would be tied to Johan and although they were good business partners at the moment, the future was uncertain and Andrew would not allow himself to be tied down in any way.

In the same way, as Andrew would buy the raw materials, the transport of the products was in charge of Johan, since the journey and the quantities are not many, it was not a great expense so there was no problem.

With the whole conversation over, Johan left with his butler and Andrew and Caroline remained in the office discussing some internal arrangements for this cooperation with Johan.

Since Andrew had used his synthesis ability all these days that Johan was still testing the cream, now they had an inventory saved and it was not necessary to be too rushed, but even with that, Andrew would not stop preparing these medicines any day, he would only keep the surplus in case of any emergency.

After finishing all the discussions with Carolina, Andrew left the office. He had decided that today he would visit the courtesans for a training session, because since he was with Carolina, he had not paid much attention to them and they were starting to complain.

Andrew had greatly improved his sexual stamina thanks to the system leveling up, so it wasn't too difficult for him to handle 3-4 sessions, but 8 courtesans were more than he could eat, so he decided to split the sessions.

This day he would train Kidy, Atna, Sonia, and Dami, while tomorrow he would train Sally, Etna, Gina, and Rita. Despite being unhappy, they agreed to the arrangement while grumbling a bit.

They knew that the arrangement made by Andrew was the best because if he attended to all of them on the same day, it would not be strange that the girls that he visited last would be the worst attended. After all, Andrew would be tired, so they reluctantly agreed to be able to enjoy more, since they knew they wouldn't be able to do it very often.
