Chapter 156: Chapter 156 - 156 I say a number 1

After getting into the BMW X5 that Adrian Wright had left for him and glancing at the time, he realized it was already past two and decided to call Alfredo Harrison.

“Mr. Jensen, hello, are you planning to look at the house now?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Okay, I’ll send a location to your phone, just follow the map and I’ll be there shortly.”

“Alright, thankyou.”

Alfredo Harrison hung up the phone and turned to his secretary. “Take the keys to Dreamscape Garden with you, we’re going out.”

Upon hearing the three words “Dreamscape Garden,” the secretary trembled involuntarily like a startled cat and said with a quivering voice, “Mr. Harrison, that’s Mr. Wright’s friend you’re talking about. Are you planning to rent Dreamscape Garden to him?”

“No, I’m going to sell it to him!”

An icy smile appeared on Alfredo Harrison’s face. “What about Mr. Wright’s friend? He chose that place himself; I can’t be blamed for that.”

The secretary didn’t dare say more, grabbed the keys, and followed behind Alfredo Harrison, all the while clutching the Buddha pendant on her chest.

Dreamscape Garden was a rather sinister place. Rumor had it that many people had died there in the past, and it was rife with ghost stories, making it a notorious haunted house in Jamae City.

As a result, the place had always been vacant; it couldn’t be sold, and no one dared to live there.

Alfredo Harrison didn’t believe in superstitions and had bought Dreamscape Garden for a small amount of money.

He originally planned to renovate it thoroughly and sell it to someone both wealthy and with taste, but an accident occurred on the first day of renovation.

A worker accidentally fell into the lotus pond, and despite it being only half a meter deep, he nearly drowned.

Soon after, another worker accidentally hit his own hand while tearing down a wall, almost severing his fingers.

Since those two incidents, no renovation team had dared to take on the project.

With no other choice, Dreamscape Garden was left idle.

Alfredo Harrison felt extremely frustrated; although he had snagged a bargain, he had still spent two to three million to buy it.

Now, all that money had gone down the drain, with the place being unusable and unsellable.

That was until he saw Greg Jensen, and an idea immediately struck him.

Jensen clearly wasn’t from Jamae, surely unaware of the legends surrounding Dreamscape Garden.

If he could sell Dreamscape Garden to him, it would not only rid him of a big problem but also give him a sense of malicious satisfaction—a perfect two birds with one stone.

Alfredo Harrison could hardly stop himself from praising his own cleverness.

Of course, he couldn’t just lead Jensen to Dreamscape Garden—if Wright found out, he would skin him alive.

So, in order to sell Dreamscape Garden, he purposely took Jensen to several unsuitable estates first.

After viewing them, Jensen indeed frowned, clearly very dissatisfied.

Hesitating a moment, Jensen asked, “Mr. Harrison, although these estates aren’t bad, some are too small, and some aren’t in the right location. Don’t you have any other estates?”

He took the bait!

Alfredo Harrison smirked inwardly, but his face remained impassive, even assuming a troubled expression as he hesitantly said, “There is actually one more estate, but…”

Jensen glanced at the time and said, “Then let’s go take a look.”

“Alt, well… okay then.”

Alfredo Harrison’s heart was bursting with joy. He quickly led the way, taking Jensen to Dreamscape Garden.

Upon arriving, Jensen looked at the three characters spelling out “Dreamscape Garden,” and his whole body involuntarily stiffened. He turned back and asked, “Mr. Harrison, is this the estate you mentioned?”

Alfredo Harrison’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly forced a smile, “All, yes, this is it.”

“Hmm, the location is not bad, let’s go in and take a look.”

Saying this, Jensen walked inside.

Seeing this, Alfredo Harrison slightly relaxed; he had thought Jensen knew about Dreamscape Garden, and his heart had nearly jumped into his throat.

Seeing that Greg Jensen had already pushed the door open and walked in, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face as he muttered, “Kid, if you’ve taken a liking to this garden yourself, then you can’t blame me.”

With that, he also walked in with his secretary.

Dreamscape Garden was large; in olden times, it must have been a pleasure garden for some wealthy family.

At the front was a lotus pond, with a long corridor running alongside it. Further inside stood a three-story building, surrounded by a scattering of smaller houses.

The setting sun’s afterglow spread a swath of golden light, as if draping the courtyard in a golden robe, giving it a profound and distant charm.

Greg Jensen took one look and fell in love with the garden.

However, after studying in Jamae for two years, he naturally had heard the stories about the Dreamscape Garden.

So, while he liked it, whether or not he could buy it still needed some consideration.

He didn’t pay any attention to Alfredo Harrison and the other person following him; he quietly toured the whole Dreamscape Garden and then furrowed his eyebrows.

Before entering, he had imagined all sorts of scenarios.

But he hadn’t anticipated that Dreamscape Garden would be filled with Yin energy everywhere.

Especially in various corners and shadowy places, the Yin energy was so thick it could almost freeze a person solid.

Greg Jensen discovered a small hill behind the building, with a pavilion on top of it.

He hesitated briefly before walking up and standing at the edge of the pavilion, gazing far into the distance, encompassing the entire layout of the garden in his view.

“White Tiger Convergence, very nice indeed…”

Looking at the layout of Dreamscape Garden, Jensen’s brow relaxed, and he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Alfredo Harrison, who was following behind, was startled and swiftly asked, “Mr. Jensen, what did you say just now?”

“Nothing much, how much are you planning to sell this garden for?” Greg Jensen asked without turning back.

At these words, Alfredo Harrison’s eyes lit up, but he still pretended to be troubled as he said, “Mr. Jensen, to be honest with you, I spent a lot of money on this garden…”

“One million five hundred thousand!”

“What?”

Alfredo Harrison was stunned, feigning shock, “Mr. Jensen, for such a large garden, you only offer one million five hundred thousand? Isn’t that too little?”

He had initially spent two to three million on this garden, so if he sold it to Greg Jensen for one million five hundred thousand, he would stand to lose over a million.

Before, he had thought about just selling for one million and some change, accepting the loss, but now that there was actually a buyer, he found himself somewhat reluctant to let it go.

Greg Jensen glanced at him indifferently and said, “One million five hundred thousand is too little? Then, how about one million three hundred thousand.”

“What?”

Alfredo Harrison’s expression darkened slightly as he frowned and said, “Mr. Jensen, I am not joking with you, I really can’t sell it at this price.”

Greg Jensen looked at him with amusement and laughed, “In that case, let’s forget about it. I wouldn’t want to make President Zhang lose too much, right? Let’s look at some other gardens.”

“Uh…”

Alfredo Harrison was dumbfounded and hastily said, “Mr. Jensen, I… I don’t have any other gardens at hand.”

“No worries, I’ll have Adrian and the others help me look. I’m not in a hurry anyway,” Greg Jensen said with a smile.

Alfredo Harrison was completely panicked now and urgently said, “Mr. Jensen, don’t rush, if the price isn’t right, we can still negotiate.”

“We can negotiate?”

“Definitely, we certainly can!”

With a smile, Greg Jensen tentatively asked, “So, should I name a price?”

“Please do…”

“One million!”
