Chapter 355: neighbours

About 15 minutes later, the cable cab finally stopped, dropping the first group of passengers at the first drop point. Clark and his student didn’t come down as their drop point was at the second checkpoint.

5 minutes later, the cable cab finally arrived at the second checkpoint.

Just like was expected of soldiers, Clark and Albert didn’t have much luggage. All they brought was their backpack for this journey, and most of the things inside the bags were their weapons which they were allowed to enter inside with.

The cable cab did not come down after getting to the checkpoint. Rather, Clark and the other passengers went to a miniature version of the cable cab which was shaped just like a shuttle.

This was what brought them down through another cable that was released down by the main cable cab. Throughout the journey, Clark didn’t engage in any conversation with any of the passengers, making it seem a little boring but he still enjoyed the ride.

As soon as they came out of the miniature version of the cable cab, they finally got exposed to the harmonious and boisterous atmosphere of the country, precisely the King’s city.

The Royal district, being the most magnificent district in the city was not a let down also. The marvels that he already experienced throughout his journey here, Clark saw them here with a several folds increase.

Not intending to waste time, he quickly gestured at his student as they started walking into the nearby street. With the coordinates of his rented apartment in his mind, he quickly navigated through the busy street.

He looked up at the signpost to confirm, then he nodded. “This is it”.

The building was a beautiful bungalow, with many side apartments attached to it which could be rented out. Though compared to the other houses around, this building was much less magnificent, Clark did not dare have disdain for it.

Thinking of the money that he had to spend just to hire the building for a week, he felt like the world was not balanced at all.

With the amount of money that he spent on it just for renting, he could use that same money to get a magnificent mansion back in the Spartan republic, with workers, and everything befitting a man of his status.

“Hey, good afternoon”.

A girl with blonde hair vibrating with energy suddenly jogged out of the other apartment at the side of the bungalow.

She had a pretty face, her cheeks were slightly rosy and puff with baby fat, her lips were painted pink, she was in slightly revealing clothes. And with the headset on her head, she was dancing to a tune before she saw them.

She intended to hop out after casually throwing a greeting before but seeing them, she suddenly paused. “Are you the new neighbors?”

Clark turned to face his student before turning back. “That? Yeah, I think so, we are the new neighbors I guess”.

“Wow, welcome, let me help you carry your luggage in”. She showed a look of visible surprise on her face before hopping closer to meet them.

Clark turned to face his student again before slowly bringing down his backpack. “Umm, thanks”.

“Do you know what? My granny thought that the new neighbors would be unruly men, so she kept on pestering the landlord throughout the previous day to watch out for who was renting his house”.

She raised her head after dropping Clark’s bag and looked intently at their suits. “But from the look of things, that is clearly not needed. You guys are the perfect gentlemen”.

Coughing awkwardly, Clark secretly gestured for his student to do something. Sighing exasperatedly, Albert finally took over the conversation, cleverly leading the girl out a few minutes later.

Seeing the both of them go outside, Clark heaved a sigh of relief. “Phew! That was close”.

Plopping down into the chair, he turned around to have a proper survey of the apartment.

It was a 1-bedroom flat, floored with treated marble wood, the ceiling and every other thing about the house justified the outrageous amount of money that Clark paid to get it.

It was far smaller than any of Clark’s mansions, but the interior of the whole house was almost at the same level as his room’s bathroom which has proven to be the most luxurious part of his mansion.

Gentle heat blew into the house, diffusing it in a calm aura of warmth. The Dakran republic was a cold region, so measures like this were normal in their buildings.

Hearing his student’s voice outside still with his new neighbor, Clark had a strange expression on his face but he soon dispelled it as he put his hand on his chin to contemplate his plans.

It was already late in the afternoon, so he already canceled his plan of visiting Mr. Woods Calibri today. He would rather visit tomorrow at a healthier time.

This did not mean that he was satisfied with staying at home though. He would use this opportunity to have a tour around the city, and he also wanted to see the billionaire’s estate before time.

At least with that, when he visited tomorrow, he wouldn’t be too clueless which may help a lot in progressing his plans.

As soon as he confirmed his plans, he quickly went to the room, changed before going into the bathroom to have a thorough bath. After coming back, he saw that Albert was back and was sitting on the sofa.

“Go have your bath, we’ll be leaving in an hour”.

Albert turned to look at him. “Ok”.

As his student entered the bathroom to wash up also, he finally entered the room again. He changed into just shorts, he increased the warmth spread rate of the heating device before plunging into the bed.

After sitting through an 8-hour journey at such a high altitude, all he wanted now was to sleep and refill his spent energy reserves.

“You are mine, my baby…”

“Ugh!”

As his eyes were already becoming heavy, he suddenly heard this music from the opposite building, irritating the hell out of him.

After trashing about angrily without it subsiding, he finally resorted to tucking his head under 2 pillows while pressing them with his hands to act as ear morphs. After doing this, the sound grew faint immediately.

Letting out a contented breath, his eyes became heavy again before slowly closing. He wholeheartedly embraced the sweet phenomenon of sleep.
