"Miss Summers, does your family deal in antiques and jade? I'm planning to buy some jade pieces. Could you give me your contact information? When I need some, I can purchase from your family," Leon inquired.He needed jade pieces for setting up Energy Convergence and Energy Gathering Circles, or for alchemy. The ones he had previously bought were left in the Southern and Western regions for emergencies. He had not brought any with him. Now that he was in the Central region, he needed to buy a new batch of jade pieces. Since the Summers dealt in jade, he thought he could buy from them."Sure," Shally agreed, thinking Leon was an ordinary middle-class person likely interested in low-grade jade pieces. She did not consider it a significant matter. They exchanged contact information."Miss, we are nearing the outskirts of the Central region. Where should we go next?" A guard driving the car reported to Shally. The Summers were a third-rate ancient martial arts family, and their terr
"Mister Wolf, please allow me to be frank."Currently, in the Central region, most real estate is sold through pre-sales, with very few properties available for immediate occupancy."Especially when it comes to brand-new single-family villas in beautiful settings, it's extremely difficult to find such properties ready for immediate move-in. The chances are almost zero!" Shally stated bluntly after regaining her composure.Although she was not sure if Leon truly had the means to afford an expensive single-family villa, she knew one thing for certain. Businessmen pursue profit, and many real estate operations in the Central region follow a model of selling properties to gather funds before construction. Very few developers actually have ready-to-move-in properties available!This was even more true for single-family villas, which required significant investment.Leon wanting to purchase a single-family villa in a short period, one that was also in a beautiful setting and ready for i
"Um..."Hearing Lucian's reminder, Shally's expression froze. She remembered that she did have an unused villa that fit Leon's needs perfectly in every aspect.However, the villa was quite expensive, and she did not think Leon could afford it."Miss Summers, do you have an unused second-hand villa for sale? Where is this villa? Can you take me to see it first?" Leon inquired.He had never been a fan of second-hand houses, mainly because he was worried about buying a flawed or problematic property, which would cause unnecessary trouble.If Shally had a villa for sale, that would be ideal!After his conversation with Shally earlier, he had a good understanding of her character. Buying a villa from Shally seemed much better than going through a real estate agent! Of course, the premise was that Shally's villa had to meet his requirements."Well... okay. Let me take you to see it then," Shally thought for a moment before responding.Her villa had been vacant for over two years with
"Mister Wolf, to be honest, the current market price for this villa is at least over eighty million." Shally said after some thought, "However, it's fate that we have met. If you genuinely want to buy this villa, I can give you a twenty percent discount, as a gesture of friendship with you three."After their previous conversation, Shally developed a favorable impression of Leon. Additionally, since it was them who had damaged Leon's car, and Leon had been very gracious about the matter, not making a fuss, she felt it was only fair to reciprocate his kindness. Therefore, she offered Leon a very favorable friendship price. Of course, the premise was that Leon could afford such an expensive villa!"What?" Lucian, who was standing beside her, was taken aback by what she said. He had suggested that Shally sell this idle villa to Leon with the intention of seeing Leon make a fool of himself. He had never intended for Shally to sell it at a discount! Now, Shally had gone ahead and of
"Kid, stop pretending! Do you have any idea how expensive this villa is? Can you really afford it?" Lucian sneered, doubting Leon's financial capability."It's just a few tens of millions. You'll see soon enough whether I can afford it," Leon responded calmly.Leon had already sensed that Lucian harbored some animosity toward him. However, given his current power and status, Lucian was merely a minor character to him, not worth his attention or effort to argue with.Turning to Shally, Leon said, "Miss Summers, please calculate the total cost of the villa and give me your account number. I'll transfer the money to you.""Oh, okay..." Shally replied, still unsure whether Leon genuinely intended to buy the villa or was merely bluffing, but the truth would soon be revealed.She calculated the exact price of the villa and provided Leon with her bank account number."Kid, I'm curious to see what kind of trick you have up your sleeve!" Lucian scoffed, still convinced that Leon was just
"Mister Wolf, I have received the money. If you trust me, you can give me your ID card for the property transfer procedures. I will arrange for someone to handle these trivial matters, so you don't waste your time," Shally suggested, snapping back to reality from her surprise."Alright." Leon nodded. Now that he had bought the villa, he, Cynthia, and Ruth needed to go out to purchase some daily necessities and organize the rooms, preparing for their stay tonight. This would undoubtedly take a lot of time.Shally's willingness to arrange for someone to handle the property transfer was exactly what he needed. He could not have asked for more.Leon thought for a moment and then spoke, "Cynthia, give your ID card to Miss Summers. Let her transfer the property to your name."He had used the alias 'Hugh Wolf' in front of Shally to hide his identity. If he handed over his own ID card now, it would expose the fact that he had deliberately concealed his real name, which was not appropriat
Twenty-six-year-old Leon Wolf was a married man whose notorious reputation was well-known across Springfield City. He lived with his wife's family—the Mansons—and was treated as an indentured servant during his three-year marriage. Dignity was a foreign concept to him, but he endured all the humiliation in silence and never once spoke up in protest.For the past three years, he worked tirelessly like a horse in the Mansons' company every single day, yet his salary had to be handed over to his wife Marilyn, whom he couldn't even get close to.By the time he came home at night, he had to do laundry, mop, cook, and various other household chores. Still, he worked diligently without complaining.He believed that by doing all this, he could prove his worth to his wife and convince her to stay with him until they grew old. But what he received in return was a cruel blow—a baby!His wife, with whom he had never even slept, was pregnant, and he was about to become a father!But would anyo
Leon left the cemetery after paying his respects to Elder Manson, but before he stepped out, he noticed a woman in professional attire standing at the entrance. She had a stunning figure, and Leon wondered why someone like her would be visiting the cemetery in the middle of the night instead of being sound asleep in bed. She wore heavy makeup, causing him to do a double take.She appeared unhappy and muttered something like, "You broke-ass b*stard."Usually, Leon would ignore such remarks in the past, knowing that reacting wouldn't benefit him in any way. However, the shock of his wife getting pregnant with someone else's child and being expelled from his own home had left him incredibly upset. He wanted to vent his emotions. In a moment of impulsive hot-headedness, he rushed towards the woman and said, "Isn't it a bit early for you to be offering yourself on the street? How much do you charge for a night? I happen to be in a good mood today!"Truth be told, Leon didn't have a singl
