It was evident that Zachary's clothes were much cheaper than Kash's, consisting of just a T-shirt and shorts. Zachary seemed comfortable in his attire, but Kash's comment made him aware of the contrast between them. It also made him realize that he hadn't changed his style even though he was the heir.

In any case, Zachary had no intention of changing his style anytime soon.

Paige recognized Zachary and expressed her surprise, "I remember this guy. Is he a target of the Nathanael bullies?"

Kash sneered and said, "Yeah, that's him. Unfortunately, he spent his money foolishly, and now he's back to being a poor guy. A cleaner."

Zachary replied, "I'm not an employee here."

Kash looked surprised and asked, "Then why are you here? Are you looking to buy an apartment? Even if you had a few thousand dollars left, you wouldn't be able to afford an apartment here. Do you understand?"

As a result, Kash asserts that Zachary is an idiot for wasting scholarship and not awareness the value of a luxury apartment.

Kash's embarrassment quickly turned into confidence as he laid eyes on Zachary.

"Can you please ask him to leave? He's just wasting everyone's time," he said, determined to save face in front of his girlfriend. "I know him. He's caused trouble in other places before. It's clear he's not well-off. Just look at how he's dressed." The employee nodded and walked over to Zachary, politely requesting that he leave the area.

"I want to buy a villa," Zachary said to the employee.

The salesperson looked at Zachary in disbelief. "I'm sorry, but the cheapest villa in this area is worth three million dollars. I'm sure that's not within your budget."

Kash sneered and added, "You're just wasting our time. If you couldn't even afford a luxury apartment, how could you afford a villa?"

Zachary remained composed and replied, "I know what I can afford."

Kash turned to the salesperson and said, "Don't waste your time on this guy. He's just trying to show off. He doesn't have the money to buy anything here."

The salesperson nodded in agreement and added, "I'm sorry, sir, but if you're not here to purchase anything, I'll have to ask you to leave now."

Despite the increasing hostility, Zachary remained calm. "I hope you can understand that I'm here to buy a villa," he said, hoping to defuse the situation.

The salesperson grew increasingly impatient and decided to call the security guard. "Can you please come to the model display? We have someone here who's causing trouble and refusing to leave," the salesperson said over the phone before turning his attention back to Zachary.

After being asked to leave, Zachary took out his phone and called the butler. He asked the butler to help him purchase the villa near his university in this estate dealership. He knew the salesperson was skeptical of his ability to buy a property and that his butler could help him resolve the situation.

Kash spoke up when Zachary hung up the phone after calling his butler. "Do you think you're filming a movie, Zachary? Calling to brag and expecting a bunch of people to come and protect you?" he said, with a sneer on his face.

Paige chimed in, "Maybe if you're willing to cut the act, Zachary, you'll make it in the real world."

The salesperson and other staff at the display were also annoyed by Zachary's stubbornness in trying to stay. "We advise you to leave before security arrives, Zachary. It's better for your own sake," the salesperson said, hoping to avoid further conflict.

Zachary remained calm and composed in the face of their taunts, knowing he had the means to back up his words. He smiled and replied, "I understand your concerns, but I'm not going anywhere until my purchase is complete."

As the tension between Zachary and the salesperson continued to escalate, two security guards arrived at the display and quickly caught sight of Zachary. As they approached him, one of the guards muttered under his breath, "I'm so tired of dealing with these types of delusional people. Just last month, we had to deal with two other individuals who were harassing."

The other guard nodded in agreement, having seen similar situations play out in the past.

The guard approached him and prepared to escort him out of the area, but the estate manager suddenly appeared before he could do so.

"Stop!" the manager said firmly. "What is going on here?"

The salesperson explained the situation, but the manager's expression quickly turned to anger as he listened. "You mean to tell me that you doubted a serious buyer and called security to remove him from the display?" the manager said in disbelief.

The salesperson hung his head in shame as the manager continued. "Do you know how much this estate depends on sales like these? We cannot afford to turn away serious buyers and treat them with disrespect."

The salesperson tried to defend his actions. "But sir, he didn't look like he could afford anything here. I thought he was wasting our time," he said, but the manager was not swayed.

"In case you were not aware, we recently received full payment for a villa worth eight million dollars, and the buyer was none other than Mr. Zachary here. He is one of our most valued clients, and you have treated him with disrespect and mistrust," the manager said firmly.

The manager then made a decision. "I'm afraid I will have to let you go, effective immediately. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior in our establishment."

After firing the salesperson, he left the display looking embarrassed and ashamed. The estate manager turned to Zachary and apologized for the inconvenience.

As the estate manager finished speaking, Kash's face fell. He felt anger and humiliation, but he knew nothing he could do. He didn't want to stay any longer and was eager to leave as soon as possible.

Kash turned to Paige and whispered, "I don't know where Zachary's money comes from, but it won't last long. He's just a flash in the pan. Until then, I'll prove that the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor."

Kash and Paige quickly left the display. However, the manager's words lingered in their minds, leaving them feeling embarrassed and humiliated.

    Zachary turned his head to see who it was and saw Quilly looking at him curiously. As Quilly approached Zachary's table, Tyller immediately saw her stunning features. She had long, lustrous dark hair that cascaded down her back in gentle waves. Her high cheekbones were perfectly defined, accentuated by her flawless, olive-toned complexion. Her piercing green eyes seemed to sparkle with intelligence and curiosity. Quilly noticed that Tyller was staring at her and felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking he was scrutinizing her with ill intentions. "It's nothing, Quilly. Just a little commotion, but I'm helping everyone have a good time with a free meal, except for them," Zachary replied. Ava said, "You don't have to do that. We can eat ten meals like this, and you probably saved up all your money to do this once." Tyller tried to join in on teasing Zachary, but his mind was still focused on Quilly. He was really impressed and fond of her, but with the current situation, he couldn't appro

Tyller couldn't do anything since this was Quilly's house. "I know you're in there; please come out." Tyller shouted from outside. "What do you want? Don't do anything bad, I warn you." Quilly raised her voice. "I just want to talk; I'm a polite person; why do you think I want to do anything?" Tyller raised his hands, laughing. "I'm sorry, I don't want to talk to you; I'm not interested; I already have a boyfriend." Quilly's opposition only made Tyller more stubborn. "Don't jok

    Though he also felt that the old lady was making a bit of a fuss about it, and that 8 was so burnt out right now, how could he have time to interfere with them, and that Zachary would be even less able to do that when he was splitting up eight people to use them, and tossing them out of the way."The two cases are not unrelated, one could even say they are related, what Callum Luna said is true, it was 'Roderick Luna' who financed the curator of the painting exhibition, and that's not the only thing, the antique auction house a while back, the floating cloud carving that was intercepted by Vice Ramirez The silver needle, finally found in the diary sent by Ms Ara, was the very one that Dulce Hooper used to make all the blood pacts for the Gale Watts sacrifice."Callum Luna demonstrates the attitude of the Luna family, "-He who dares to desecrate God is not worthy of death."Celine Kirk, who had long since leaned against the car, shook out her skirt, "Let's just s

    Zachary typed in the password as Keenan read it, and suddenly lurched, finally realizing that the inexplicably familiar string of numbers was his birthday, "You're still on your old phone?"Zachary looked closely, the paintings in the show were all human figures, familiar with the large color stacks and twisted lines of the netherworld painting style he had read about so many times in the art room of the lab building, "Oooh, this could be a genre, the underground overdrive style?"But Dulce Hooper's soul has gone. How can a body without a soul move fraudulently?Naturally, Callum Luna's ramblings alone don't count, Zachary: "How can they be sure it's Roderick Luna?"His head was groggy from the low fever, and he had residual pain all over his body, and he didn't want to move at all, but he might have overslept a bit, and he didn't want to go back to sleep, so he started swiping at his phone.Zachary guessed that they did not dare to easily give up

    When he got up again, there was a hazy, pale light, and Zachary braced himself, and it was like he'd been run over by a car, and after the shock had passed through him, and the soreness danced in every bone, and stabbed a little bit at his joints, and his arm collapsed, and he fell back down again."It was him." Keenan phrased, "Six months after you evaporated, he was arrested for illegal proselytizing, and when I was sorting through my materials, I found a notebook I'd borrowed from him, with a piece of paper sandwiched between it with a messy yardage drawn on it, which I thought at first was draft paper, but realized it wasn't any formulas or mind maps, and when I looked at it closely there was some regularity to it, very much like some kind of writing, and which I've since turned over to the police up."He was all but as brooding as he had been when he arrived, but that oily, don't-touch-anyone-against-me asshole look was a turn-off.Then the stomach growled.

    Keenan smoothed his suit, didn't care if the steps were dirty, and sat down next to Zachary, choking on the strong smell of cigarette smoke, but Zachary's silence, which was even cloudier than the smoke, choked him even more, like a little burnt edge, a little hot, a little painful.Zachary automatically ignored Keenan's increasingly out of bounds mannerisms of late, his cold mind forming a set of logic he could best accept; he just had to act like he was in a dream.Johnathon Ramirez needless to say, although it is difficult to see the position, but it is also after he topped the Special Investigation Brigade was not disbanded, and he is in charge of the Special Investigation Brigade for so many years of the old boss, even if the crowd often behind the back of the arrangement, but also still recognize his ability, recognize the identity of the 8 of the Unified Control.Luna's family in the open that point, everyone has spread rotten, now the most hopeful heir i

The young constable, seeing this for the first time, fell to the ground in fear, his high pitched scream cutting through the night sky of the city hall and drawing in the others.Zachary, however, couldn't care less about the chaos of the bureau, and he clutched the yellow talisman, a treasure hunt he knew all too well, the glazed box that once held the nine parts of Khalil Hobbs's body, hidden away on a rainy night in the mountains of Ushant, and poured out into the madness that is him impermanence and insanity.It had taken him years to slowly climb out of the overgrown mud - at least superficially - and stop worrying those around him, but those behind him were afraid that he would be too good to be true, grabbing the hem of him orange-red dress and tugging it down to help him remember what it was like to be parted from him bitterness and hatred. .How much does he have to be hated, who did he blow up in him last life, or
