"Miss Summers, does your family deal in antiques and jade? I''m nning to buy some jade pieces. Could you give me your contact information? When I need some, I can purchase from your family," Leon inquired.


    He needed jade pieces for setting up Energy Convergence and Energy Gathering Circles, or for alchemy. The ones he had previously bought were left in the Southern and Western regions for emergencies.


    He had not brought any with him. Now that he was in the Central region, he needed to buy a new batch of jade pieces. Since the Summers dealt in jade, he thought he could buy from them.


    "Sure," Shally agreed, thinking Leon was an ordinary middle-ss person likely interested in low-grade jade pieces. She did not consider it a significant matter. They exchanged contact information.


    "Miss, we are nearing the outskirts of the Central region. Where should we go next?" A guard driving the car reported to Shally.


    The Summers were a third-rate ancient martial arts family, and their territory was near the outskirts of the city. They were almost within their family''s domain, but with Leon and his twopanions in the car, the guard sought Shally''s instructions.


    "Mister Wolf, where are you and yourpanions headed? We''ll take you there first," Shally asked.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Uh... do you know if there''s a real estate office nearby? I''d like to buy a house." "You can drop US off at the nearest real estate office," Leon replied.


    Leon pondered for a moment before speaking. The situation in the Central region was different from the Western region. Due to the significant geographical location of the Central region, if everything went smoothly, he nned to develop there and gradually shift the business focus of Cynthion Group and Elegante Group from the Southern region to the Central region.


    Naturally, this required a more permanent arrangement than just finding a random hotel to stay in, as they did in the Western region.


    Therefore, he intended to buy a house in the Central region for himself, Cynthia, and Ruth to settle down. Having a house would also make things more convenient when Iris and the others arrived to join them in the Central region.


    "Buy a house? What kind of house do you want to buy?" Shally asked instinctively, her surprise evident.


    "I want to buy a detached vi, preferably one that''s surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery, and ready for immediate upancy," Leon answered simply, sharing his thoughts.


    "What?" Shally was taken aback by his response. Through her earlier conversation with Leon, she had assumed he was just an ordinary middless person. She also knew that Leon, Cynthia, and Ruth came to the Central region to represent theirpany in exploring the local market.


    Initially, she thought that if Leon wanted to buy a house, it would be a typical apartment to temporarily amodate the three of them.


    However, she never imagined that Leon would openly dere his intention to purchase a beautifully scenic detached vi.


    Even though this was just the suburban area of the Central region and not the bustling prime location, the Central region''s central position among the five regions made its poption density and other factors much higher than the other four regions. Therefore, even in the suburbs, the price of a detached vi usually starts in the tens of millions or even billions.


    With such an exorbitant price, she couldn''t believe that an ordinary middless personXike Leon could afford it. For a moment, she was perplexed, unable to discern whether Leon was serious or just boasting.
