âNo. Thatâs the mansion of Draco Lang, the new Chief Commander of Lilyrose Strategy Department. The Horizon Mirror is on another side,â explained the guide as he pointed at the nearest building by the shore.
âThat means we will be neighbors with the Chief Commander if we live here!â
Rudyâs eyes glimmered with hope upon hearing the guide.
Meanwhile, at Horizon Mirror, Kaze was bringing Darcy and his i laws around the mansion.
in-
They had not officially moved in, but his mother-in-law was bragging to everyone about moving into the mansion soon.
âThis open kitchen is really huge! And the dining area! Why donât we move in today?â Agnes said excitedly as she touched everything she saw.
Darcy chuckled helplessly and said, âMom, you are rushing things. We still need to buy a lot of furniture...â
âDarcy, at least you know that you are poor and unable to afford all those expensive furniture!â
Deborahâs annoying voice came from the door.
Darcy turned to the entrance and her expression changed.
Master Quint and the rest of the extended family marched in righteously as if the place was theirs.
âFather, you guys are here! You should have called us and we would Have pickou you up:
Agnes went up to them with a flattering smile, the delight on her face was obvious.
The extended family had always looked down on her and her family, She was and now they came all the way here to visit her new home. proud for once.
Samus scoffed and said, âYou really think you own this place? Why must we tell you if we are coming over?â
âSamus, watch your tone when you talk to my mother!â Darcy bellowed angrily.
âWhat? Was I wrong?â Samus rolled his eyes at Darcy. âPoor bastards, you people canât even afford furniture and youâre trying to lecture me? Look at your neighbor, thatâs Chief Commander, Draco Lang. The owners of the other units are also rich and influential figures.
âYet you three and that idiot moved into this luxurious place money. If you bump into your neighbors in the future, woul feel ashamed? This is out of your league, donât even bother!â
Agnes, who was delighted a moment ago, lowered her head awkwardly. The happiness in her faded instantly.
Darcy was furious. She glared at Deborah but she could not come with appropriate words to retort.
по Kaze was coming back from the washroom and overheard the conversation. He laughed and said, âSamus, what if I can afford the expensive furniture?â
âHahaha!â Samus laughed hysterically. He did not bother concealing his contempt for Kaze.
âYou piece of shit! Donât tell me you are moving scraps in here as your said. I could spare you some money and get some second-hand furniture. Itâs better than having scraps.â
Deborah echoed, âThe Horizon Mirror is worth fifty million, so a set of fitting furniture must be at least ten million, or else itâs just plain embarrassing using old furniture.â
âHahaha!â
Everyone laughed.
Kaze chuckled. âTen million? Thatâs what you call class? Thatâs just the study desk I bought to place in Hectorâs home office.â
âYouâre still talking big, arenât you?â
Samusâ expression turned grim. He then grinned strangely and said, Kaze, why donât we have a bet? I bet you canât afford tens of millions of furniture.â
âSure. What are you betting?â Kaze nodded.
âIf you win, I will jump into the lake and swim back!â
Samus continued with a wicked look, âIf you lose, this place belongs to us!â
