Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Manor Purchase and Marriage Discussions
The reason Victor left so quickly wasn't because the beautiful Erina Nakiri wasn't attractive enough, it was simply because he wanted to buy a house as soon as possible so that Shinobu and her sister could move in sooner.
In fact, he had already chosen a property long before he received his identity papers.
It was a European-style mansion with ocean views, located near the coast.
Not only did it have an expansive garden and courtyard, it even had a private swimming pool and helipad!
When he arrived at the gates of the mansion, he immediately fell in love with the property.
The scenery was breathtaking, far away from the chaos of the city, and perfect for a cultivation retreat. It seemed tailor-made for his needs!
Without hesitation, Victor pulled out his phone and dialed the landlord's number he had found online.
After a short wait, the call connected.
"Hello? Who is this?" came a soft female voice from the other end.
Victor had the feeling that he had heard this voice somewhere before.
"Hello, I saw online that you're selling a property by the sea. I'm interested in buying it. Could we discuss the details?"
There was a pause before the voice replied with obvious excitement, "You want to buy my estate? That's wonderful! Where are you? I'm coming right over to talk to you!"
Victor replied, "I'm standing right outside the entrance to the mansion."
"Please wait, I'll be right there!"
Then the call ended.
Victor leaned against the stone pillar by the gate and waited patiently.
Soon he spotted a woman with long chestnut hair walking towards him, accompanied by two maids in traditional uniforms.
"Miss Asuna Yuuki?"
"Mr. Victor?"
When they recognized each other, they both froze in surprise.
Asuna smiled brightly. "The person interested in buying this mansion is actually you, Mr. Victor?"
Victor nodded slightly. "Yes, I never expected the owner of this mansion to be Miss Asuna."
The fact that the Yuuki family owned such a luxurious estate suggested that their wealth might exceed what was depicted in the original anime.
"Please come in. I'll give you a tour of the estate, then we can discuss the transaction."
"That's exactly what I had in mind."
Under Asuna's guidance, Victor received a comprehensive tour of the mansion's interior.
The result was beyond his expectations.
He couldn't wait to take possession of the property.
When Victor inquired about the price, Asuna paused thoughtfully before speaking: "Since you're Erina's friend and we're acquainted, I'll offer you a slightly reduced price.
She held up five fingers. "How does 500 million yen sound?"
Five hundred million?
For such a luxurious mansion, the price was indeed reasonable.
Considering this, Victor nodded.
"No problem."
"Really?" Asuna seemed almost incredulous.
She had expected some negotiations, but Victor had agreed so easily.
Was he really that wealthy?
Buying a 500 million yen house without hesitation!
Could his money really come so easily?
If Victor knew what Asuna was thinking, he would definitely agree with a smile that his money was indeed no different from what the wind blew in.
"When can we close the deal?"
"If you trust me, we can sign the contract today. I'll take care of all the paperwork tomorrow, and you can move in right away.
In general, such large transactions involved rather cumbersome procedures.
Various bank checks, regulatory restrictions, identity verification, and so on.
It would normally take several days or even weeks to complete.
But the Yuuki family had connections that could greatly streamline this process.
"Perfect."
Victor signed the contract immediately and gave his ID and bank card to Asuna.
The rest was up to her.
Asuna hadn't expected that Victor would trust her so completely.
Besides being surprised, she also felt honored.
After saying goodbye to Asuna, Victor returned to his rented apartment.
Lying on his bed, he opened the chat group out of habit.
As soon as he accessed it, he saw a scene that made him frown.
[Lumine: My brother dares to challenge the Order of the Abyss alone!]
[Stelle: My husband dares to fight a star god alone!]
[Lumine: My brother has the guts to eat shit!]
[Stelle: My husband would dare too!]
[Victor: I would not!]
[Belle: Hahahaha, that is hilarious!]
[Victor: Damn it, Stelle! You're supposed to be my wife, how dare you say such things!]
[Bai Yuekui: Where did this competitive spirit come from?]
Bai Yuekui had just gone online and was shocked by what she saw.
Being in a group with these people would eventually make anyone laugh.
[Shinobu: Victor is back! Did you get your identification papers?]
[Victor: Everything is ready. I've also bought a house, a big mansion with an ocean view. I can move in tomorrow!]
[Shinobu: Excellent! My sister and I will move there in a few days!]
[Stelle: Save the best room for me!]
[Lumine: Reserve one for me as well. I'll visit you on vacation when I have time.]
[Victor: Don't worry, I reserved a room for each of you. You can stay with me anytime.]
[Victor: Of course, if you want to live there permanently, I would warmly welcome you.]
The mansion resembled a European-style castle. There were so many rooms inside that it could easily accommodate more than a dozen people.
[Ding! Kiana uploaded the Gem of Desire and received 200,000 points!]
The Gem of Desire?
[Victor: Kiana, have you finished the Wendy storyline yet?]
[Kiana: Yes, I uploaded the Gem of Desire right after I defeated her].
To prevent the Gem of Desire from falling into the hands of Anti-Entropy or Destiny, Kiana had uploaded it after consulting with Theresa and the others.
[Kiana: Wendy is indeed the weakest lord you mentioned. Her strength is truly disappointing.]
Thinking back to the recent battle, Kiana couldn't help but chuckle.
At first, it was intimidating to see the massive tornado that Wendy had summoned.
But as soon as the battle began, Wendy was defeated by the three of them with just a few blows.
[Victor: After all, you're nothing like your original novel counterparts. Once you reach Foundation Establishment, anyone who isn't an extremely powerful ruler won't be your opponent.]
[Kiana: Almost there! I've already reached the ninth level of qi cultivation. Stelle, don't forget our bet!]
[Stelle: Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. By the way, I've also reached the ninth level of qi cultivation!]
[Belle: Huh? How did you advance so fast all of a sudden? You were one level behind Kiana before.]
[Lumine: Are you cheating too?]
[Stelle: Everything I've achieved is through my own hard work!]
[Shinobu: Hehe...]
If Shinobu hadn't known that Victor had been supplying both her and Stelle with pills for the past few days, she might have believed that claim.
