“What?!”
Everyone in the lobby, including Luna, was stunned.
What followed after was a room full of laughter. Especially Luna and the Millers, they laughed so hard that tears were welling up in their eyes.
“Hahaha, holy f*ck my dude, you can’t just go around bluffing like that!” Mr. Millers laughed, holding his abdomen.
“Is virtual-novel.net insane?”
“Yeah, two whole buildings! I thought I f*cking misheard him, hahaha!”
“Yo… do we need to call for security?”
Even the employees at the front counter seemed to be running out of breath from all the laughing.
Suddenly, the manager walked into the lobby with a stern expression.
“What happened? Where is everyone’s sense of professionalism? Just look at all of you! Ridiculous!”
Luna bit virtual-novel.net lip to keep virtual-novel.net composure. “No… No sir, this man over here, Gerald Crawford, he… virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net wanted two of our buildings! Hahaha!” Tears streamed down virtual-novel.net bright red cheeks.
The manager seemed to be more professional than these agents. He took a deep breath and stared at Gerald for a brief moment before approaching virtual-novel.net with a bland expression.
“Mr. Crawford was it…? Pfft!” Although virtual-novel.net hadn’t said much, the manager could not help but let out a loud chuckle too.
What Gerald just said was just way too hilarious. Their principle was to always remain professional front no matter how ridiculous their customers are unless they couldn’t hold in their laughter any longer.
“You’re laughing?” Gerald said coldly as virtual-novel.net brushed the tip of his nose. These people were getting on his nerves, but virtual-novel.net knew just how to shut them up.
“Tell me, how much for one building, Nicki? Are you done calculating yet?” Gerald asked with a cold expression.
“Oh, I know! One building has around a hundred units, and the total for one is a million dollars. After our promotion, it will be two million for two buildings, sir!”
Nicki replied professionally. She was the only one not laughing in the room.
Gerald then thought to himself, half of these units can be used for the employees’ dorms while the other half can be rented out. This would work out just perfectly.
“Right then, I’ll have someone wire the money over now. Bring me the documents!” Gerald said as virtual-novel.net took out his phone.
He then made a phone call and said, “Send two million over to that real estate center I’ve been to, in cash!”
Gerald leaned on the front counter after hanging up, still observing the group of people laughing hysterically. He wondered if they’d continue laughing at virtual-novel.net later on.
“Sir, please calm down. You can’t simply just sign these documents!” The manager was able to catch his breath and advised. Gerald ignored virtual-novel.net and looked away.
Twenty minutes later, a big truck had parked itself in front of the real estate center, and not even security could stop it.
“Huh? What’s happening?” Everyone was stunned and flooded the lobby entrance out of curiosity. Even the manager tried squeezing through the crowd, virtual-novel.net too was curious as to what was happening.
Just at that very moment, Gerald’s phone rang. It was a call from his underlings.
“Mr. Crawford, we have arrived with the money, all in cash as you requested. Do we send someone to bring it in, or do we request someone on their side to do so?” The underling asked.
He knew that something was up when virtual-novel.net heard Gerald speak in such an annoyed tone during the phone call. Hence, virtual-novel.net decided to cause a scene on purpose.
“To hell with that!” Gerald said as virtual-novel.net signed the documents. He then threw his pen to the ground, “Dump it all at the front entrance!”
“Yes, sir!” As soon as virtual-novel.net hung up, the truck’s trunk opened up, and within it, a mountain of cash.
The compartment then slowly raised up, and stacks of cash tumbled out of the truck, right onto the pavement in front of the lobby entrance.
“Jesus Christ!!”
The manager fell to the ground in shock. The documents in Luna’s arms slipped to the ground as virtual-novel.net arms weakened. She stood there, virtual-novel.net face drained off all color.
