Devil's Music

The basement was surprisingly clean and well organized. There was no need to exhale the scattered dust like in the movies and let out a hand breeze in front of my eyes.

Ilysher Usmanov, who was just looking at a large wooden table, a couple of chairs, and a clock full of tools, swiped his fingertips and looked at his hands.

“Not a speck of dust. The owner seems very clean. ”

Toby grins and shows you a small hammer from one of the tools on the wall.

“I couldn't teach you anything else, but I did teach you how to manage tools, because I was a car engineer. ”

Ilysher Usmanov smiles and takes the hammer.

“Oh, your son's prowess is from your father. ”

Gun looked around the room for a moment, listened to the sound of the car outside and said.

“I think you're back. ”

Toby listens to the sound outside and smiles.

“You have good ears. Looks like you're back. Let's get out of here. ”

Toby leaves the basement first, followed by Ilysher Usmanov.

Toby comes out of the car and tells Arthur that he's getting the merchandise from the market.

“Arthur, you have a visitor. ”

Arthur, with two large plastic envelopes in his hands, looks at Ilysher Usmanov and gives a suspicious glance.

“A guest? Who are you?" ”

Arthur sees what appears behind Ilysher Usmanov.

“Huff!!! Kei, Kei, Kei, Kei!? ”

Arthur, who missed the plastic bag in his hand, came out of the bag and opened his mouth without even thinking about picking up an orange that was rolling around the floor. The old lady, who got off the car, shouted.

“Eggnona! Arthur! What the hell are you doing? ”

As the lady hurriedly starts picking oranges, the gun lowers its waist to help. The lady picks up an orange that fell on the floor and turns her head to the gun, looking at the hand that was handing it to her.

“Yes? Who are you? ”

When she laughed at the handsome thing, she was in a panic.

“Oh my God, who is this young man who's so handsome? Hoho.”

The gun holds two oranges in a bag and smiles, accepting them from her.

“I'm Kay, nice to meet you. ”

“Oh my God, you're going to carry my luggage? Oh, thank you. Oh, my God. Come on, this way, please. ”

Ilysher Usmanov approached Arthur, who was dumbfounded by his mother as she led him into the house.

“Huhu, shall we go in and talk, Arthur Hodgson? ”

“Oh, Burr, oh, yeah, yeah! ”

Toby sighs as his son looks silly and taps Arthur's butt.

“This is your guest, my friend. We need to get inside and entertain our guests. ”

Arthur wakes up and looks at Ilysher Usmanov as she enters the house.

“But who are you? ”

As Ilysher Usmanov smiles and gives out his business card, Arthur's eyes widen as he looks at him.

“Oh, Arsenal, Holdings? ”

Ilysher Usmanov smirks at his shoulder.

“Come on, let's go inside and talk. Haha.”

A few moments later, Arthur's family in the living room heard about his investment from Ilysher Usmanov.

Arthur gives thanks to Ilysher Usmanov for recognizing her true worth for the first time. Ilysher Usmanov smiles as she watches him.

“But I have a question, Arthur. ”

“Yes, ask me anything. ”

Ilysher Usmanov takes out the watch Arthur gave to the gun in her arms and asks.

“Is there a reason you always use the manual charging method by turning the dial on your watch? It's great that you've developed your own movement, but if it's manually charging, when the watch stops, the user needs to turn the dial to start the watch and adjust the time again. If you don't get this exact time right, you're not going to get the exact time. ”

Arthur explains, looking at the watch in his hand.

“A passive watch has the advantage that the rotor system is easier to see than the automatic movement covering the movement, even if it is half the movement or micro-rotated. That's why I chose manual. ”

Ilysher Usmanov raises her watch with a silly look.

“Beauty? You think this design is beautiful? ”

Ilysher Usmanov raises her hands, watching Arthur's face turn red.

“Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not pointing. However, it has been a while since the advent of a rotating rotor around the outside of the movement, in order to overcome these drawbacks and improve ease of use. If you use it, you won't be able to cover the movement, even if it's not manual. ”

Arthur nods with a bitter smile.

“Yes, it's a big innovation in the rotor system, but it's still too expensive. Additional contoured movement exterior is lubricated by ball bearings and rotated while winding reel, which is lightweight and uses platinum bearings and counterweight for bearing efficiency. So it's more expensive. ”

Ilysher Usmanov tilts his head and raises his watch.

“Handcrafted watches are expensive anyway, aren't they? If you use expensive parts, you can sell them at a high price. ”

“Yes, that's right…… I didn't have the money to buy those parts. So we're looking for investors. ”

Ilysher Usmanov says, placing the watch on the table.

“So if I could give you money and a designer specialist to buy you parts, you'd make a better watch than this? ”

Arthur, who intuitively noticed that the answer to this question would determine the investment, breathed with a nervous expression. After taking a moment to look at Ilysher Usmanov, he nods with a confident expression.

“Yes, it is. ”

Toby, Arthur's mother, and the case all focused on Ilysher Usmanov and waited for his words. He said, thinking for a moment.

“Very well, but you won't be able to make an investment decision easily. The part price of the rotor system I mentioned before would be about £5,000? ”

Arthur nods, disappointed at the lack of investment decisions, and Ilysher Usmanov pulls out a luxury leather wallet from his chest and puts the money on the table.

“£10,000. I'll give you 10 days. I want you to build a prototype in there. It's hard to get designers here, so let's go to London. ”

Toby's expression brightens when he sees the money on the table, but Arthur still doesn't place a string of tension.

It was because there was one last test left. After taking a moment to resolve, Arthur picks up the money on the table and says,

“I'm going to make the best watch. ”

Ilysher Usmanov smiles and raises her palms.

“You don't have to get to the top. It's just a prototype, please ask for the best after brand launch, haha”

Arthur straightened up and said.

“Thank you so much for the opportunity. ”

“Haha, I want to say I didn't give you the chance, I said Kay. It was Cae who made me feel empathetic about what I could go through with nothing. ”

Arthur leans back toward the gun.

“I heard this is how gratitude is expressed in Tong Yang. Thank you. ”

The gun rises from its seat and opens Arthur's waist and laughs.

“Your skills and your desperation have given me an opportunity, and I have done nothing. So keep your back open. ”

Arthur's eyes widen his waist. I heard a knock in the warm reception room, and my neighbor's grandmother just baked an apple pie that looks delicious and laughed.

“Here comes the apple pie!”

“Hahaha, she's really here. ”

“Haha, then I don't talk nonsense. Here, try this. It's best to eat it while it's warm. ”

Arthur's mother stood up and said.

“Then I'll get the car, hoho. ”

Thanks to Arthur smiling for a long time, I could feel her back flying towards the kitchen as if she were feeling better.

Unlike people who have a lot of time, Ilysher Usmanov has a habit of asking if business is always on the clock.

“W-what time is it? ”

Arthur, holding a piece of apple pie in his hand, said without even looking at the watch.

“It's just past 1: 38: 47 p.m. ”

When I smiled and talked with my grandmother, Arthur turned his head. Ilysher Usmanov also looks surprised and smiles.

“This guy's a walking clock, huh? You can trust him, he's sure of time. ”

Arthur, who was still not looking at the watch, asked after checking his phone's watch.

“Now?”

Toby chews the apple pie that's in his mouth and says nothing.

“1: 39 p.m., 2 seconds. ”

I looked up in surprise as I was checking the candles with my phone watch.

“Wow! That's really accurate. ”

Arthur nods and wipes the debris from his mouth.

“Ever since I was a kid, I guess there's a clock in my head, haha. ”

Arthur knocks his thighs with a small needle coming out of the clock without even knowing it. Ilysher Usmanov looks at Arthur's hand as he smiles deeply.

“What's the matter, Kay? ”

The fact that Arthur hasn't taken his eyes off his hand yet makes his eyebrows twitch.

‘The exact beat, it's like looking at a metronome. ’

You think about it for a moment and then turn your head toward Ilysher Usmanov.

“If you were to invest, how much would you do? ”

It was a sudden question, but everyone was curious, so everyone's gaze came to Ilysher Usmanov. On second thought, Arthur swallows his saliva as he tries to open his mouth.

“Well…… it will depend on the prototype, but typically it will cost around £350,000 (about 500 million). ”

Arthur looks brighter, whether it was more than he expected. However, he was shocked by what followed a short time later and had to open his mouth. The gun crosses its arms and now looks at Arthur's hand, which has stopped.

“I invest the same amount. ”

Ilysher Usmanov opens his eyes wide, surprised, and stops moving to see if Toby and Arthur's mother are surprised. When I saw Arthur with his mouth wide open, I lifted his index finger.

“I need you to do me a favor for me, Arthur. ”

A total of 700,000 pounds, Arthur barely opened his mouth and asked.

“Boo, boo, please? I wonder what someone like me can do for Kei.... ”

The grin looks at Arthur's black hand.

“Hehe, you just have to learn something. Consider it a hobby."
