Chapter 13: How Much Would It Cost to Buy Twenty Mansions?
993 Words
"Master... Master?!" The old man's words were like a bomb dropped in the crowd, instantly setting off a commotion!
Especially for Julia, she stood frozen in place! She had just mocked Flores for not being able to afford a single tire, and now, the owner of twenty Phantoms was calling Flores "Master"! How could this be possible?
At this moment, Stella's mind was also blank, looking at Flores in disbelief.
"Sir, are you mistaken?! This person is just a lowly delivery guy, how could he be your master?!" Julia gritted her teeth and whispered, refusing to believe it.
As soon as she finished speaking, the old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes locking onto Julia with a ferocious gaze. "Anyone who insult my master should die!" His voice was suddenly cold and ruthless.
In an instant, Julia felt a bone-chilling coldness engulfing her. The old man's gaze feeling like the stare of death itself! She had no doubt that if she said another word, she would be mercilessly killed on the spot!
"Cough!" Flores coughed lightly, and the killing chill emanating from the old man gradually dissipated.
"Flores, what... what's going on?! How can he call you master?" Stella finally snapped out of her shock, quickly pulling on Flores's sleeve and asking.
"It's nothing! Probably Andrew Cooper...the old man has something to discuss with me. I used to visit their house often, so they treat me like a master!" Flores casually brushed it off with an excuse, not expecting Andrew Cooper to pull such a stunt today!
"Let's go!" Flores said somewhat displeased. Then, amidst the envious gazes of everyone, he walked towards the Phantom in the middle.
The old man dared not even breathe heavily, respectfully following behind.
The twenty Phantoms started simultaneously, roaring like wild beasts, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
"Phew!"
Julia was so nervous she almost collapsed, slumping weakly to the ground!
***
Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
"Andrew Cooper, you better give me a satisfactory explanation!" Flores said coldly. He had reminded Andrew Cooper more than once to act low-key and not expose his identity! But today, this convoy of twenty Phantoms almost blew his cover!
"Your Highness! I know I was wrong!" Andrew Cooper was so scared by Flores's anger that he almost knelt down and begged for forgiveness in the car!
After calming down a bit, he continued, "This is Leo Perry, the deputy envoy of Malia Palace! He's also one of the top ten richest people in the country, with extraordinary means! Previously, under Your Highness' order, I investigated the news about the Capital Eriaru's Ford family, and he had significant findings, so he came to report to you in person!"
Deputy emissary of Malia Palace?
Flores furrowed his brow slightly. As far as he knew, Malia Palace's higher-ups consisted of only three elders, six lords, and seventy-two knights. These eighty-one people, any one of them could shake a country's foundation, even though they never appeared in public.
As for the deputy emissary? He hadn't even heard of it! It was probably some insignificant figure, but his rank should be higher than Andrew Cooper's.
"Your Highness, please forgive me! Actually... I wasn't trying to be flashy. These twenty customized Phantoms are already the lowest configuration for my travels!" Leo's previously imposing demeanor vanished, and he chuckled while rubbing his almost bald head.
Twenty custom extended armored Phantoms were the lowest configuration? Flores rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"All right! I won't pursue it this time, but I don't want there to be a next time! Show me the information about the Capital Eriaru's Ford family!" The mention of the Ford family made Flores's eyes instantly colder!
Many years ago, just because a stranger prophesied that he was the cursed child, his own mother broke his arms and kicked him out of the house. He was even chased for thousands of miles by his twin brother. If it weren't for meeting his master—a mysterious old man, he would probably have died long ago!
"Yes, Your Highness!" Sensing the chilling intent emanating from Flores, Leo dared not delay for a moment and quickly handed over a carefully prepared dossier.
"Interesting! Interesting! My dear brother has leukemia, and only my bone marrow is suitable! I guess my vicious mother has already sent someone to Sebria City to find me, right?!" Flores chuckled coldly.
Snap!
He even crushed the steel armrests with his bare hands!
This scene stunned Andrew Cooper and Leo on the spot.
His Highness... His power is too terrifying!
"Leo, well done! Next, you'll return to Capital Eriaru and keep a close eye on the Ford family's movements. Once they send someone to Sebria City, I want to know the news immediately!" Flores ordered coldly.
"Yes!" Leo was thrilled to receive Flores's appreciation and quickly complied.
"Oh, Andrew, how many villas are there in Sito lo Nasta Villas?" Flores suddenly remembered Stella's dream this morning, a faint indulgence on his face.
"Sito lo Nasta Villas is built around the mountain, divided into six levels from the bottom to the top. Each of the first five levels has four villas, totaling twenty, and the last level, the peak, has only one villa, Zeus Villa! There are a total of twenty-one villas. The value of each is conservatively estimated to be over 100 million, and the one at the peak has even sold for over 300 million!" Andrew Cooper reported accurately, showing his knowledge of Sito lo Nasta Villas.
"Oh! Then help me buy the Sito lo Nasta Villas, my wife likes it." Flores said casually.
"Yes, Lord! Do you know which one you want to bid on?! With your status, only the peak villa, Zeus Villas, is worthy of you!" Andrew Cooper responded respectfully.
"Which one?" Flores looked at Andrew Cooper as if he were an i***t.
"Are you stupid? I said buy all of Sito lo Nasta Villas!"
