After a brief ride through the property, it was finally time to inspect the main house itself. He couldn't say he knew much about architecture or even engineering, but he could easily tell that the house was built to last though it wasn't the design he would go with.

  With just a look, he could easily tell that the house was designed to be intimidating and to show that the owner was rich like most homes in Nigeria do.

  It wasn't ugly per say, all he could say was that its time had passed. Like all things, this style of building definitely had a time when it was most popular but now, it was considered outdated and old-fashioned.

"As per your request the house has been cleaned and emptied. It boosts a 24-hr electricity supply because of the private dam the previous owner had built using the underground river below the mountain" The lady babbled on as she described every inch of the house.

  Walking around with them, David could only point out one thing and that was that the previous owner of the house was a lavish person.

  The master bedroom was uselessly big, the kitchen felt like some football stadium, the main sitting room was even bigger. He liked its lavish nature, but this was too much even for the lawyers who could be seen shaking their heads in disapproval.

  The more the woman talked the more, he simply wanted to demolish the building and rebuild it. The private dam was a good addition, but something told him that there will be various problems to it.

  As for the request to empty the house it was simple, he had Nous and Nous had technology beyond what the Earth could offer so why would he stand for a normal appliance when he can have teleporters in his bedroom

  After about an hour, the lady was done, and the main signing was ready. She passed the document; she had been holding on to and her lawyer brought out some more from his briefcase and passed it on to him.

  Normally he would immediately pass it all on to the lawyer but as stated earlier, he didn't trust the man. He worked for the government and the other party in this negotiation was the government, he could be duped without realizing it.

"Nous, scan them and ensure they are safe" David said telepathically to his mental roommate

[Affirmative sir] Nous replied as he began to flip through each page quickly but carefully.

  He did it like this so that it would seem as though he was reckless but acting careful. It would make them reduce their guard if the document had any suspicious addition to it since they wouldn't expect him to find it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

  After a good ten minutes of flipping through each of them, Nous had scanned all of them and he immediately passed them all to the lawyer assigned to him.

"Sorry for wasting time, it's just you know... But turns out I don't understand these things" he said as the older man collected it and immediately began reading out the main points to be noted

  As he did so, David cross checked them with the points Nous had generated. All of them matched which was a relief for him.

"That's good then, everything seems to be alright then... Let's sign it" David said and immediately got ready for payment

  The price for everything or in total according to Nous and the document shown was 450 million naira or approximately $590,000. Since the other party was the government or at least represented them, the transaction went smoothly.

  An hour later, they were standing at the foot of the mountain as David bid them farewell. The entire mountain was now his and his alone, he could do as he liked on the property, and no one could say a thing.

  Above all he was secluded from the public and at the same time also had access to them so he couldn't be said to be off the grid.

"So, Nous what do you think about the house" David asked

[Poorly designed, the so-called dam would have collapsed in about 10 years' time and would have brought down the entire mountain with it. The runway was poorly made and would have been destroy after three uses and above all, this place is laced with security cameras... Should I disable them]

"As expected, we both don't trust each other but it's my property now... Do it" David ordered

*Crackle*

  David heard several sounds of an electronic devices blowing up after his order. Without minding them, he simply entered his car again and drove back to the top of the mountain.

  As soon as he approached the main house again, he parked his car and proceeded on foot but this time with a small box in his hand.

  The box was about the same size as a shoe box but had a metallic look to it. David placed it in front of the house and then opened a compartment in it and began scooping sand from the floor into it.

  This continued for about a minute or so before he closed it and pressed a small hardly visible button on it as a humming noise was heard from it as though it was powering up.

"Are you sure this would work?" David asked skeptical about the whole thing.

[My materials may have been limited but my design is still flawless] Nous replied with pride in its tone

  Watching the box for a few more seconds, David saw a small silver orb fall out of it before more and more orbs followed it.

  In a few seconds more than ten orbs had been formed from it and they were all lying around on the ground before the box.

[Add in more material] Nous instructed as David got busy filling the box with sand

  This process repeated itself for about an hour until the floor was filled with the silver orbs. There were hundreds of them and each one seemed to be completely identical to the last one
