Chapter 62 How Unlucky Dragon Bay was developed by the Langdon family, the richest family in Nuthana. It was over eighty acres huge.
The distance from the entrance to the mansion area alone was over three hundred meters.
âFinn, have we not reached the house you bought yet?â
The further Rhiannon walked, the greater her astonishment grew. She was aware that the houses deeper within Dragon Bay and closer to the sea were more expensive. The cost was nearly one hundred and fifty thousand or more.
There was no small unit.
Desmond and his wife grew uneasy. âFinny, what kind of house did the Miles family give you?â
They were still far away, but Finnegan could sense his familyâs anxiety.
He realized he shouldnât speak up, or they might stop proceeding any further.
âMom, Dad, weâll head to the house later. Letâs walk around the residential area and check out the environment.â
Desmond and Quiana nodded distractedly. Rhiannon inched closer to Finnegan and asked softly, âFinn, the Miles familyâs house should be a mansion, right?â
Rhiannon had guessed it right.
Finnegan replied in a low voice, âWhy do you think itâs a mansion?â
âItâs Mr. Miles weâre talking about!â Rhiannonâs face lit up with admiration. âHeâs worth hundreds of billions. Why would he buy a condominium? Youâre being so secretive about it, so Iâm guessing it must be a mansion. Otherwise, you wouldnât have kept Mom and Dad in suspense.â
âYouâre still as quick-witted as ever,â Finnegan remarked with a smile as he flicked Rhiannonâs forehead.
His words confirmed her speculation. Rhiannon excitedly embraced Finneganâs arm. âSo, my guess was right! Is it truly a mansion, Finn? How spacious is it? Does it include a swimming pool and other facilities?â
After giving his parents a quick look and confirming that they werenât focused on them, Finnegan said in a hushed tone, âI havenât visited it myself, so weâll uncover those details together later. But for now, letâs keep this from Mom and Dad. Otherwise, they might get too apprehensive to even step into the mansion area.â
âOkay!â
Under Finneganâs lead, the family soon arrived at the entrance of the mansion area.
This section was distinct from the rest of the condominium complex and had its own set of security guards. The residents living outside looked like security guards for those living in the mansion area.
Despite knowing that, the residents still loved the houses here.
Rhiannonâs eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at the mansions beyond the fence. âPeople often say that the true essence of Dragon Bay lies within these mansions, while the outer residential area is just borrowing its name. Having witnessed it firsthand, I believe it now!â
Desmond sighed. âI heard that when Dragon Bay was first put up for sale two years ago, least expensive mansion went for one hundred and fifty million, while the priciest one fetched six hundred million. The prices should have at least doubled by now.â
âWhat are you guys doing here?â
Suddenly, Qahiraâs sharp and angry voice rang out.
the Desmondâs and Quianaâs expressions suddenly shifted. They swiftly turned around to find Qahira and her family nearby.
Quiana panicked immediately. âRaymond, Qahira, what are you guys doing here?â
âIf people as destitute as you can afford to be here, then why canât we?â Qahiraâs eyes blazed with indignation as she clenched her teeth. âWeâre here to purchase a home, unlike you, who are here merely to revel in the ambiance.â
Ximenaâs gaze was filled with menace. âHow unlucky!â
She was about to get engaged to Yosef and become the wife of a rich man.
However, Finnegan had stirred up a commotion at the engagement celebration. Just yesterday, Yosefâs family had requested to cancel the engagement, shattering her aspirations. of joining a prestigious family.
She and Qahira had joined hands to beat Quiana up to vent their anger, but that didnât dispel any.
She glared at Finnegan as though she wanted to swallow him whole.
Qahira didnât hold back and pointed at Finneganâs nose. âYou b*stard. You got lucky yesterday, but you wonât be able to escape today. Xavier, beat him up!â
Xavier had wanted to beat Finnegan up yesterday but the latter was nowhere to be seen. He immediately stepped forward and swung his fist at Finnegan. âIâm going to kill you, you jinx!â
No one knew that Qahira would ask Xavier to make a move.
Desmond and Quiana shouted hastily, âStop it, Xavier!â
They had witnessed Finnegan defeating opponents like Python, so they knew that Xavier stood no chance against Finnegan and would likely be defeated as well.
Alas, it was too late. Finnegan narrowed his eyes and kicked Xavier forcefully, sending him tumbling to the ground and wincing in agony. The latter couldnât even voice his pain.
It took Qahira and the like a while before they regained their composure. âXavier!â
Quiana patted Finnegan. âWhat are you doing? Xavier is your cousin!â She stepped forward.
âRaymond, Qahira, well Slap!
Qahira rose abruptly and slapped her without hesitation. âHow dare you goad Finnegan into ruining Ximenaâs wedding and then let him strike Xavier? Your family canât stand the sight of our family prospering, huh?â
Rhiannon roared, âAunt Qahira, it was Xavier who tried to hit Finn first.â
âSo what if Xavier was the one who tried to take action first? He didnât manage to hit Finnegan, did he?â
Finnegan stepped forward with a frosty stare. He couldnât bear witnessing Qahira slap Quiana right before him.
âNo, Finny!â Ignoring the pain flaring up her cheek, Quiana reached out to stop him. âYour Aunt Qahira was just angry. She didnât mean it. Donât hurt them.â
Qahira snorted. âYou want to hit me too, huh? Come on, give it a try.â
Just then, the salesperson who was showing them the units reprimanded sharply, âWhat do you think youâre doing? This is Dragon Bay, developed by the Langdon family, not a marketplace. If you persist in causing disturbances, weâll revoke your right to purchase a house here and have someone escort you out!â
The residences in Dragon Bay were in high demand, leading the salespeople here to adopt an arrogant attitude, quite unlike salespeople in other places.
Hearing that, Qahira instantly backed down and said in a flattering voice, âYes, thatâs right. This is Dragon Bay, not somewhere we should cause a fuss. Itâs all these poor peopleâs fault. Otherwise, we wouldnât have lost our composure!â
Raymondâs family had paid one hundred thousand in deposit, so the salesperson remained polite to them.
She gave Finneganâs family a proud look. âAre you here to buy a house?â
Finnegan glared at Qahira and replied, âNo!â
They werenât here to buy a house. They were moving into this residential area.
The salesperson scowled. âOh, so youâre here to cause trouble.â
Finnegan furrowed his brows as his eyes landed on the salesperson, who resembled a model in appearance. âSo, if Iâm not here to purchase a house, I must be here to cause trouble? Canât I be here simply because I want to go home?â
The salespersonâs heart skipped a beat. If Finnegan owned a house here, she wouldnât dare offend him.
Qahira approached her and said, âDonât trust him. Weâre relatives, and I know his family well. They received a few million after their house was demolished, but thatâs hardly sufficient for a down payment.
Theyâre just here for a casual visit. Please have someone escort them out!â
The salesperson nodded, choosing to believe Qahira.
She summoned the security guards and pointed at Finneganâs family. âThese people are not here to buy a house, and they even hurt my client. Please escort them out.â
Six burly security guards immediately approached Finneganâs family. Desmond, Quiana, and Rhiannon panicked at once.
âThe nerve of you all to kick them out!â
