Asura Conqueror

Chapter 50: Buying a House

"Hi, I'm Celia. You must be the ones Zoey told me about." Celia extended her hand.

Marcus shook her hand and nodded.

Celia smiled. "Trust me, you'll love the houses that I'll be showing you guys. Shall we?"

Celia gestured for them to go inside as she opened the gate. She walked beside Marcus. Then, Zoey, Eva, and Nexus followed behind. The guards followed closely after them.

They walked on the stone pathway. On the side were well-trimmed bushes and behind them were neatly cut green grass. In front of them and just before the entrance was a working fountain.

They continued towards the front door. The house was built like a modern house. Flat roof with big glass windows.

Celia opened the dark-colored door and went inside. They stepped on the white oak hardwood flooring and a few steps later they arrived in the living room. White and grey colored couches were facing the tv. In front of the couch was a small coffee table made of glass and wood.

"This house has 2 floors, 7 bedrooms with bathrooms in them and there is also 1 near the living room. There's a pool outside with a jacuzzi beside it. And garden, over there." Celia pointed in a certain direction.

"This place looks great." Eva looked around and was awed. These were the inside of the house she would see in magazines. Now she was standing inside of one.

"Looks good." Nexus jumped on the sofa.

"I guess we'll take it." Marcus turned to Celia.

"Are you sure? You haven't looked around the house yet and I haven't shown you the other houses too." Celia thought they were too hasty in deciding. She sometimes had clients like these and would sometimes regret their decisions afterward.

But she also knows that this was the best house on the list since Zoey told her that her clients this time were bigshots. Celia just wanted to make sure.

"Well, they love it and I can see that there are no problems with it, so we're sure." Marcus tapped his watch a few times and so did Celia.

Celia told him how much the house was. Eva, who was close by admiring the place, widened her eyes.

"And, sent." Marcus placed his arms back down.

Celia checked it and was puzzled. "Sir I think that you paid a little bit too much."

Marcus shook his head. "That's both the payment for the house and your tip. I just rounded up"

'Tip? I don't even need to work after this. Wait, does he want me to?' Celia totally misunderstood.

Celia took a step back. "Sir, although you look quite handsome, I have a husband and a child. You also look quite young. Don't you think it's inappropriate?"

Before anyone else could react, Nexus already bawled out laughing. He laughed so hard that he fell off the couch.

Marcus had a puzzled expression. 'Did she think I tipped her that much was so I could sleep with her?'

Zoey looked at Marcus and asked "Marcus, did you perhaps want to pay Celia to sleep with you?"

"It's a misunderstanding. He had no hidden agendas." Eva smiled.

Both Zoey and Celia sighed in relief. Other than sighing in relief, Celia was now overwhelmed with shock. She didn't expect to receive this kind of money in her life.

The tip that was given to her was close to the price of the house which means that even if she didn't work for the rest of her life and spend extravagantly with her family, there would still be plenty of cash left. But of course, she wouldn't spend it this way. Like any other person, she would invest.

Marcus looked at Zoey "If I was that kind of person, wouldn't I have eaten you a long time ago?"

Zoey blushed from embarrassment. Celia turned to Zoey wondering what Marcus meant. She just shook her head and didn't say anything.

After the quick misunderstanding, Celia thanked Marcus and left. Zoey also followed after a few minutes of talking with Eva.

Marcus, Nexus, and Eva went to the garden. The scent of roses and other types of flowers entered their noses. The place looked like an expensive florist shop.

They saw a circular table near the entrance. The three sat down and enjoyed the fresh air.

The sky was clear, blue as could be. The sun was high up in the sky, something that Marcus didn't really like.

'I would never get used to bright places.' He thought.

"Big Sis, how is your cultivation?" Marcus asked.

These past few days he has been busy training by himself. Trying to get ready in case something happens here in Estra. He also thought about what to do in the near future.

"I might not have advanced in my cultivation but my skills in alchemy improved exceptionally." Eva grinned.

Marcus smiled. "Congratulations Big Sis. Should we go and visit your sister tomorrow?"

Eva shook her head and sadly said. "I would love to but Zoey said that professors in Estra University might be having an activity tomorrow since school starts on Monday."

They arrived in Estra on a Friday morning and the school year opens next week for all Universities and not only Estra University.

"I guess we should put that on hold. We'll just buy some stuff tomorrow." Marcus said.

They couldn't do anything about it since they could not just barge in the school and ask to see her sister. They still have zero influence in this place. Marcus can't also afford to be careless. There are numerous Preparation Stage Experts in 2nd rate countries and he still doesn't have the power to contend against them in a fight.

Nexus placed his hand under his chin. "We should empty out their best magic items here. We should also place a formation around the house. The stronger the better."

"From what I remember you suck at making formations." Marcus teased.

Eva chuckled. She also remembered this. Aside from retaining alchemy knowledge, she also remembered other events in her past life.

-----

Zoey arrived in front of her house. Before she could even go in, her dad already opened the door. He directly went to her and gave her a hug.

He pulled out of the hug and looked at Zoey and angrily said. "Why did you have to run away?! Thank god nothing happened to you!"

He grabbed her hand and hurriedly pulled her inside the house.

"Young lady you are grounded!" His father, Rey Xalia said.

"Grounded? You can't ground me! I'm not 12 anymore. I can do whatever I want!" Zoey shouted at his father and then hurriedly ran to the 2nd floor, straight to her room.

"You!" Rey felt like his head was going to explode. He had been terrified to death when he was told by his brother about her situation. He couldn't eat properly, he couldn't work properly, and he even wanted to rush towards Moonsplorers headquarters and wreck it. What kept him from doing it was knowing that his child was safe.

'Ahhh, dear, why did you have to leave so soon. I don't know anything about raising her.' Rey sat on the couch with a drink on hand.
