Chapter 337 - We Can't Kill Sleeping Beauty (8)

If I spent more than one hour at that tower, the effects would come in immediately. There was a slim chance that I would ever be allowed to visit my parents again for the rest of my life. The Roselia family in general didn't like me leaving the first district. Luke didn't like me going anywhere other than his family mansion. Since he would inherit the entire Roselia family fortune once he became the head, I would have no choice but to follow everything he wanted me to do.

And there was no way I would be only spending one hour at that tower. The minimum time I would spend would be an hour. This contract wasn't worth exchanging my entire life. Even the overseer wasn't this cruel. I passed back the contract to him before Luke placed it inside his inventory. While I was bedridden, I had the hope that sleeping beauty would give up on me someday, finding a new target.

"Did you read that contract?" I wanted to know his opinions.

"Everyone who marries into the family signs a contract. My mother also signed a contract before her wedding," he didn't think anything about it.

Ellen did mention based on how much power your own family had, you would get more favourable conditions. There were no such conditions in mine. I would never sign one even if I was forced to marry him in the future. My dreams and hopes for the future were the only thing fueling my desire to live in this world.

"Sleeping beauty is inside that tower. I know exactly where that place is and when I kill her, all of this will end," I tried another approach.

"This is what I have been seeing in my dreams. Although I can't sign that contract right now, it will definitely benefit the Roselia family. If it doesn't benefit the Roselia family, I'll sign that contract," I had to push out that last piece of the sentence from my teeth.

That cave had to be precious in some way. The way it was filled with mana and many pathways to different places in the district. I had also never heard of a place where time had completely stopped before too. If the Roselia family owned that floor in the tower, they could possess everything.

"Which floor should I purchase?" Luke had gotten my hint.

"The one hundredth floor," I recalled.

"The Nuelle family owns the entire tower. If it's only one floor, they shouldn't mind," Luke started to make a bid for the purchase. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'t-kill-sleeping-beauty-(8)_49010733844850858 for visiting.

My marble immediately rang, showing it was coming from Ben. I swiped the screen as the camera showed he was still inside the hotel. I didn't think he would call about the transaction. Instead of his normal light-hearted attitude, his face changed, "you're thinking of buying the one hundredth floor?"

"I liked the scenery," I recalled the view.

"You're not interested in property," Ben knew too much about me.

"Your family can still get access to the floor afterwards. The Roselia family will only be the owners of one floor," I decided this would be the best way to split things.

"Do this for me, please? The Nuelle family will also benefit from this by getting access. Without me, you won't know what's behind the one hundredth floor," I pleaded for my freedom.

"I need a 25% ownership on that floor," Ben wondered what could be on that floor.

"25% where?" I only needed to own one room.

"I can give you half the floor plus the access, but you have to let us choose the side," I knew the floor was separated into two.

"Deal, but I'm coming with you to that tower," Ben approved the purchase on his end.

The transaction screen went onto the next stage as Luke had the opportunity to purchase the side we wanted. The call ended as I tapped on the side with the chairman's room. My mind briefly went blank from all the zeros behind the first number. I gulped as I had to be right since this was not a small sum for the Roselia family as well.

"Can we go to the tower now?" I turned to Luke.

After getting Luke's approval, I met up with Ben in front of the entrance of the tower. The three of us went in with no tickets required as the new owners. On the one hundredth floor, there were people busy with moving out as the Nuelle family gave them the option to move to a better floor. I took a deep breath, trying to get a feel where the mana was most concentrated.

My feet led me to the chairman's room, newly labelled as the president's room. When I opened the door, the furniture was instantly different while the scenery outside the window remained the same. The presence of mana had completely disappeared inside this room. It was no wonder why the Nuelle family didn't think much about this floor. It couldn't be that I was wrong. I would have to sign that contract.

I had to think. That room had to be here. It was weird for the strong presence of mana to suddenly disappear. It was like something was sucking all the mana out. But everything else was different, time hasn't stopped inside this room like the chairman's room. I couldn't turn to face Luke as I started to look for more hints.
