"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
"Well..." Hearing Leon's inquiry, Shally seemed to recall something unpleasant. Her smile froze, and a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes."Miss Summers, what's wrong? Is there something you're reluctant to share? If it's inconvenient for you to talk about it, just pretend I never asked."Noticing her discomfort, Leon quickly changed the subject."Actually, there's nothing inconvenient to talk about. This villa was a gift from my grandfather when I graduated from university. I moved out of my family home to live here and planned to start my own business..."But later, my parents and elder brother met with misfortune. They were harmed by evildoers… The Summers had no direct heirs left, so my grandfather asked me to move back and take over the family business..."Shally sighed, her face filled with deep sadness and grief. Ever since she moved back to her family, the villa had been left vacant. She had kept it all this time with no particular use until now, by chance, it was sold to
"Well," Leon snapped out of it and opened his mouth hesitantly. From the look of anticipation on her face, he could tell that Shally wanted to meet the person who took the Demon Lord down. However, Leon could not risk exposing his identity and could not tell her that he was the one who eliminated the Demon Lord. Hence, he could only swallow his words. If a chance arose in the future, perhaps he could tell her the truth. "That's interesting. What a coincidence!" Cynthia and Ruth glanced at Shally and then at Leon. When Leon fought the Southern Boss for the first time, the two of them were present and saw Leon eliminate the Demon Lord. Because of that, Leon somehow avenged Shally without him knowing. "Miss Shear, Miss Collins, what's interesting?" Shally asked in confusion. She did not know that the hero who eliminated the Demon Lord was standing right before her eyes, or she would be over the moon. "Nothing." Cynthia and Ruth both shook their heads. Since Leon refrai
"Well, you're right." Cynthia and Ruth considered his words and realized he was right. The Demon Lord was a martial artist in the Advanced Almighty State and Leon was young. If he told others that he killed the Demon Lord without any evidence, no one would believe him and the situation would only worsen. There was no point in doing so. "Cynthia, Ruth, let's go. We will go grocery shopping and settle in," Leon said. "Sure," they said. With that, the three left the mansion and went grocery shopping. That night, the three bought some household necessities and tidied their rooms before settling in. Apart from that, their car was badly damaged and could not be fixed anytime soon. Mason delivered the car to maintenance and regrouped with them according to the address Leon provided. ...In the next two days, Leon and the others needed to purchase furniture and household appliances apart from daily necessities. They took care of that and cleaned the entire mansion. Mea
"Lucian, what's wrong with you? Mister Wolf is my friend. How can you speak to him that way?" Shally's expression darkened and reprimanded Lucian. She sold the mansion to Leon at a cheaper price because she noticed that Leon and his companions were all talented people. She wanted to build a bond with them as they may eventually grow into people who could help the Summers. It took her quite a lot of effort to win their favor yet Lucian insulted Leon. If Leon and the others were enraged by this, all her efforts would have been for nothing. "I'm just telling the truth. Shelly, the resources we found from the northern region a few days ago have arrived. We need to hurry up and organize everything instead of wasting time on this kid!" Lucian said stubbornly. "I can arrange and organize the stock later. Don't worry about it!" Shally scoffed. "But," Lucian was reluctant to give up. He opened his mouth to speak but was immediately interrupted by Shally. "That's enough! I know
"You're too kind, Miss Summers." Leon frowned and refrained from leaving. Though Lucian was rude and Leon disliked his arrogant attitude, Shally treated him with kindness and he had a good impression on her. Since Shally apologized sincerely, Leon could not bring himself to leave and out of respect for her, he decided to simply ignore Lucian and returned to his seat. "Mister Wolf, what are you looking for here?" Shally relaxed and asked. "Oh, I need eighteen clear jadeites and a larger high-quality clear jadeite that weighs at least three kilograms," Leon said. An Energy Gathering Circle and an Energy Convergence Circle were different. Though both required eighteen pieces of jadeite, the requirement for the centerpiece was different. Energy Convergence did not call for high-quality jadeite so long as the size was appropriate. An Energy Gathering Circle, however, needed to gather the spiritual energy from the mountain and direct it to the mansion. Hence, the requirement fo
"I'm not kidding. Miss Summers, I understand that larger piece of clear jadeite is hard to find, but I'm hoping that you can find one for me. So long as the price isn't ridiculous, I can accept it," Leon said. He knew that clear jadeites could be easily bought and it was not challenging for him to purchase eighteen clear jadeites here or in other stores. However, ones of bigger sizes were hard to come by and one could only happen upon it by luck. Meanwhile, the Summers were jadeite merchants with many stores apart from the Treasure Hunt. If Shally agreed to help, it would make finding the larger jadeite easier than him going from store to store himself. This was precisely why he asked for her help. Otherwise, he would have simply purchased over the counter or headed to other larger stores instead of troubling Shally. "What?" Shally and Lucian were both shocked. Though the Summers had a net worth of billions, most of their wealth remained in the form of real estate, and havi
