Chapter 88 - The Guest Has Arrived

5 A.M!

~Plop.

Butler Sheng, Zhulyn and Raulin fell to their beds in one big swoop.

And with no second to lose, they quickly submerged themselves into dreamland.

~~Snore~~

The sandman had already taken them away.

And to recap on the crazy night they had, first... They fought their butts off, faced a crazy amount of creatures tonight, as well as completed the tasks assigned to them.

But more importantly, for the fact that Dorian was near exhausted and drained after dealing with this issue... the Gia household paid a whopping 20 million for the fees and an additional 30 million appreciation bonus.

That's right.

They didn't know that it was that 'easy' for them to make money.

But to these high noble families, it wasn't expensive at all.

Of course, they went to the Gia home later on and instructed them on what to do in order to purify their entire Grand estate and themselves.

But for the girl, he would particularly come over 3 times a week to completely settle her matter.

Now, in total, Dorian had a little over 70 million when thinking about all the jobs he had done so far, as well as what little savings they still had in their Tian savings.

So with 70 million, his budget for tonight was 55 million.

That's right. He planned to buy an island for that price, no more... No less. 

And for that price range, he could get 650~1200 Acres of land.

That alone meant that his Academy would be freaking huge, taking hours to get from one place to another. It

Fair enough, it was enough to make a moderate-sized sect on.

Well, now Dorian was ready for tonight's auction!

With that, he closed his eyes and cultivated for the very hours of the morning until he sensed someone coming over.

Hm?

He opened his eyes and vanished on the spot.

~Swish!

.

9:45 A.M.

Chiyou stood outside the massive gate with a tightened chest.

Just starting at the desolate but luxurious estate was enough to make her legs turn wobbly.

She smacked her lips hard, feeling very out of place in this affluent community.

This gated community had several guards at the very entrance of the place.

And if any guest had to enter, they had to give their name, show their I.Ds, undergo checks and whatnot.

Like so, she was allowed in. But even at that, it took another half an hour for her to get to walk from the Entrance gates to Dorian's estate.

The Luxury villas here had a great deal of land within each estate. And the further one went in, the bigger the estates in size.

For her, she wasn't allowed to drive in with a taxi, so she could only walk on into the place.

And the shock she received was enough to keep her tongue-tied for ages.

From the barred gates, one could still see the nudity of the villas. So while walking by, she had been dumbfounded and completely blown away by the many sights she had passed by.

And the further she walked, the more nervous she became.

Villa 37. The Tian Residence.

.

Gulp.

Chiyou was in a dilemma while looking through the desolate yet stunning gated estate before her.

The appointment was for 10 A.M sharp.

But it was just 9:45 A.M... So should she ring the bell this early or not?

Typically, if this were a business meeting of some sort, she could go in early, sit and wait for her appointment.

But in this case, what if such a move would annoy the Grandmaster instead?

After all, she couldn't see any guards at the front gates or anyone who could be of assistance to her. 

So should she just wait?

But then again, what if the right move was actually to ring the bell and get buzzed in?

Dammit!

Her brain was about to explode from all the guessing.

And maybe that might've been the case if the door hadn't just opened on its own now.

~Swahhh~

The creaky sounds of the metal bars slowly opening, frightened Chiyou who had been deep in thought.

And like a cat on edge, the hairs across her body all stood in salute as she hopped to the side on one foot with her mouth opened wide.

Bubuum. Bubuum. 

The gate's sudden action greatly stimulated her little heart.

And Chiyou, who heard her name echo out, subconsciously tightened her grip on her handbag while quickly but vigilantly walking into the massive estate.

["Come in, Miss Chiyou."]

... Erm... Are you sure?

Blink. Blink.

She did as she was told and moved in.

But at this point, she hadn't seen anyone yet and was still on edge from just this little situation.

At times, she would take one big step forward with one leg, and drag the other as if it were limp... All while looking around and hiding her bag tightly.

As for where she had to go, the voice had already instructed her on that.

You see, the main villa road led to the main building at the center of the Villa. And from the main road were a few branch roads that led to 5 other buildings within the villa.

It was easy to see that the main building was surrounded by 5 structures, all evenly spaced. 

It was as if these structures were guarding the main building. 

Nonetheless, the space between them was still great enough in such a way that they didn't destroy the beauty of the place.

It all blended in well, with several lawns, fountains and fish ponds around.

Nonetheless, this was a standard, typical villa style that was indeed below a powerhouse like the Tian's.

But Chiyou, who didn't know this, thought it was the most incredible sight she had ever seen in her life!

(°0°)

.

Like so, she followed the voice guiding her into the estate, even into the main building.

Yup. It was still guiding her now.

[Left turn.]

[Pass the Hallway]

[Right Turn]

[Enter!]

Enter?

Chiyou took a deep breath before stepping into the massive Hall before her.

And instantly, her vision was drawn to the young man seated very far away from the doors.

"Grandmaster! This humble one has come just as requested!"
