“Excuse me, this gentleman is my client. He couldn’t book an appointment because today is the last day of the sales promotion. Can you please let him through?” Emily smiled as she spoke nicely to the security guards.The security guards looked at each other, smiled, and let Isaac through.Emily was new here, and their superior wished they would look out for new hires. Furthermore, Emily was the most beautiful woman in the sales office, which was more important to them.Not only did the security guards want to be on good terms with the beauty, but the male janitors, too.Meanwhile, Rory was here because he heard about Emily getting a new job.“Issac, wh—why are you here?” Emily whispered nervously.“I’m planning to put Riverview on sale. Then, I saw the advertisement and thought the villas looked nice, so I came to check them out. I didn’t know they set the bar so high.” Isaac chuckled.Emily nodded silently. The requirement to book an appointment was an asset review of at least
Bridget had just returned to her spot. She was startled and instantly dashed over. She started yelling at Emily incessantly, “Emily Danson, I’m on the same page as Mr. Mandela. Do you need me to repeat it for a third time? If you do, then you can stop coming to work.” Bridget turned to Isaac and released the rest of her anger. “And you, sir. Mr. Mandela is looking to make a purchase. Can you please not interrupt Emily’s job? If you want to converse with pretty women, you may go to a bar somewhere, and I’m sure they’ll satisfy your needs. Here, we only sell high-end villas.”Emily bit her lips. Isaac promptly spoke up as he stared at Bridget, “Why are you convinced I’m not purchasing a villa? How sure are you that I won’t be able to afford one?” Isaac said to Emily, “Ignore them. Show me the best unit.”Emily took in a deep breath and plastered on a professional smile. She gestured for Isaac to follow her to the architectural model.Bridget was dumbfounded. Isaac was calm and compose
Rory perked up when he heard Arnold.Emily shuddered and inhaled sharply. She didn’t know who Tristan was, but she knew Reddar Corporation.Reddar Corporation’s headquarters was in Southland, with its business operations spanning across the country in various fields such as finance, food and beverages, healthcare, and so on.Isaac squinted. He remembered the same company snatched Pegasus No. 1 from them. What a coincidence to run into them again when he was only buying a house.“But I paid for it and even signed the agreement. Are you telling me that you’re taking it back?” Isaac smiled faintly.Arnold instantly smiled and replied, “Mr. Garten, you have our utmost respect. Although Mr. Martin booked the best unit, we still have other villas of similar build in our residential area. If you’re inclined to change, we can give you our best offer.”“Do I look like someone who can’t afford the unit?” Isaac’s eyes turned cold; Arnold was startled.Arnold was a veteran in this field; he
Sure enough, Tristan stopped and looked at Isaac.Isaac waved the agreement and memorandum of transfer at him.Arnold flushed instantly. When Tristan looked at him, his sweat started streaming down his head.“Mr. Martin, h—he insisted on purchasing the villa. I told him I saved it for you.”Tristan kept staring at Arnold. Arnold felt immense pressure.Suddenly, Arnold slapped himself and begged Tristan, “Mr. Martin, i—it’s my fault. I’m willing to be punished.”Tristan’s stare forced Arnold into slapping himself! Everyone else held their breaths.Tristan looked toward Isaac and smirked. He pointed at himself and asked, “So, are you saying you’re competing with me for this unit?”Everyone looked at Isaac; they knew Tristan was giving him a chance.However, Isaac pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He grinned and said, “It’s mine. Why do I have to compete for it? Pegasus No. 1, though, I’d like to have it back.”If it wasn’t Tristan, or if he’d spoken more nicely, Isaac would p
To the onlookers, Isaac committing daylight robbery wasn’t the highlight; the fact that he was blatantly insulting Tristan was.Isaac raised the price of a villa worth 70 million dollars to tens of billions. That amount of money could have bought him countless companies and properties.If Tristan agreed, he would be the altruist of the year.Suddenly, Tristan laughed heartily. Then, he abruptly turned back and raised his right hand, shouting, “Rip his mouth off!”Rory’s breathing grew rapid. Eventually, Tristan made his move.Arnold smirked. To him, Isaac was inviting death.Emily took a few steps backward. She knew what the others didn’t; Isaac was a strong fighter.Four retired men from the special forces closed in on Isaac with great speed. They were professional bodyguards, totally different from regular thugs. They were extremely loyal and had excellent combat skills.Tristan had just finished planning ways to torture the fool who’d insulted him when he heard a shriek.Im
Tristan looked like he was about to explode. Furious, he kicked Arnold, who was running toward him. Tristan pointed at Isaac and glared at him. Suddenly, he laughed. “Fabulous! I wasn’t expecting that.” He turned and barked, “Arnold! I want the unit closest to his. Get the paperwork done now.”Isaac didn’t want to know why Tristan demanded to stay so close to him. He left.Emily sprinted after him and said anxiously, “Isaac, let me show you the villa; you’ll have to know your way around here.”“Alright.” Isaac thought she had a point, so he nodded.Emily wasn’t sure about Isaac’s true identity, but he obviously didn’t care much about Tristan or even the Martin family. This attitude alone was sufficient to attract adoration from women, especially ones who went through the harsh reality of society.The villa district was a stone’s throw away from the sales office and was right next to the western side of Cloud Boulevard. The only thing was, it was quite a distance from downtown. How
The reunion was at a high-end four-star hotel in Cloud City.On the way, Isaac reminded Emily to keep certain things about him a secret. It wasn’t because he wanted to stay lowkey but because he didn’t want Emily to get in more trouble.As the two of them exited the elevator and walked toward the private room, they heard an angry roar come from the room.“Just who do you think you are, Barry? How dare you go up against me? You’d better kneel right now.”Emily couldn’t help but shiver. She could tell that voice belonged to Rory. Did that guy lose big time at the sales office and run over here to vent?She’d forgotten that he’d chosen this venue for the gathering. He was the main character, so it didn’t come as a surprise that he was here.Meanwhile, Isaac’s face was scarily stormy. He reached out and pushed the door open.A luxurious room greeted his eyes. Twenty people were already seated at a huge round table in the middle of the room. Rory was standing off to the side with an
Rory gave Brett a cold glare and lifted his leg to kick Barry away. Then, he coughed, hacking up a wad of spit onto his own leather shoe.“100 thousand dollars, you say? No problem. If you lick the spit clean, I’ll give you double. How’s that?” A sinister look crept onto Rory’s face. He hadn’t expected Barry to turn up; this matter would paint a bad image of him in the eyes of his other classmates.Barry stared at the disgusting wad of spit on Rory’s shoe, and his body began to tremble even harder.But thinking of his son, he lay on the floor and closed his eyes, leaning toward the shoe.There were mixed reactions from the table. While some classmates at the table turned away, others sighed, watching with wide eyes. Another group of them snickered. In their eyes, Barry was nothing but a crass country bumpkin who didn’t deserve to sit at the same table as them.At that moment, a large hand suddenly clapped Rory’s shoulder.“Who the fuck…!” Rory roared angrily. But before he could
