Chapter 359: entering the billionaires mansion

“Mr. Pendragon, it’s morning already”.

On hearing the blaring sound of his student’s voice shamelessly yelling his surname this early morning, Clark felt super irritated. His hands suddenly started feeling the urge of smacking someone.

“Mr. Pendragon…”

“Oh, shut up!”

With red eyes like those of a drunkard who was dragged from a pit to his room yesterday, Clark opened the door to his room before glaring hard at his student who looked back at him innocently.

“Gulp!”

With a single movement of his throat, Albert swallowed the water in his throat before raising his hand to wave politely. “Good morning, Mr. Pen…”

Feeling Clark’s glare, he wisely kept his mouth shut. This did not stop him from grumbling inwardly though, these days he felt like a mother who was listening to the mischievous antics of his son who was brimming in youth.

“Or why else would master yell at me when he said that he would wake up early today”.

As if just coming to a realization, Clark suddenly asked with wide eyes. “What says the time?”

Albert turned while still munching on his malt snack. “8:00 am”.

“What?”

“F*ck!”

…

A few minutes later, Clark has already dressed again in the suit that Albert recommended to him a few days ago. He rapidly checked himself again in the mirror to make sure that nothing was wrong.

“It’s ok now, right?”

“Umm…”

Whack!

“Yes, it’s ok”. Albert rubbed his head grieviantly.

As Clark lamented about how he already missed the time that he set to leave for Mr. Woods Calibri’s estate, he could not help but also think of the dream that he had last night.

Because of how he was rushing and the rude manner in which Albert used to wake him up, he had not found time to deliberate about what it meant yet.

In a few more minutes, he and his student were already dressed in nice suit attire. As Clark was about to take a step to the door, he was stunned as he heard 2 short knocks on the door.

Through the recording cam that was attached to the building, he could see who was standing outside in wait for them. Seeing his extrovert neighbor, he could not help but think back to the dream again.

He quickly went to the door with his student in tow before opening it. “Hey, good morning, Pinky”.

“Good morning, Mr. Pendragon. I thought you guys were gone already”.

“Oh, we caught some slight delay because of some miscellaneous matters that suddenly cropped up”. Clark lied with a straight face; he secretly slapped his student’s arm for the fellow to cooperate.

“Ok, if that’s so, why don’t we just go together? I’ve always wanted to go to the Calibri estate, I just didn’t dare to go alone before”. Pinky suddenly started feeling embarrassed.

Noticing it, Clark smiled. “Of course, you can come along”.

“Thank you, Mr. Pendragon”.

As the distance was not far this time, they didn’t have to take a cable cab. They took one of the minibusses that were authorized by the government for public transport to their destination.

It took them only 10 minutes before they arrived at the enormous Calibri mansion. Standing before this gigantic estate again, Clark didn’t feel intimidated as he’s seen it the other day.

Despite not feeling intimidated, he had to admit once again that Sonia’s father was a filthy rich man.

As soon as they got to the enormous south gate of the estate, their identification details were demanded by the soldiers that stood guard in each of the checkpoints.

Clark didn’t attempt to show fake identification details, it was not like he could hide his real identity from the scrutiny of the soldiers of a high-grade country. At least, he was not at that level yet but he may get there someday.

Knowing that he and Albert were soldiers, the estate guard soldiers became wary a bit as they did a more elaborate search. Fortunately, nothing incriminating was found with them.

“You can go in, Lieutenant Colonel”.

Clark smiled at them before going in with his companions. They didn’t make exaggerated responses despite the mind-blowing outlook and layout inside the estate, they didn’t want to seem like country bumpkins.

Inside the estate, they took a cable cab which took them to the main mansion of Mr. Woods Calibri inside the estate.

Clark already saw too much to be surprised, so he just reacted mildly to the mind-blowing mansion of the billionaire.

He knew that other mansions were far more luxurious than this, especially those in the big 5 organizations, but he still had to admit that this was the best, biggest, and most luxurious mansion that he’s ever seen.

It was just like the magical castles depicted in fantasy movies; he was almost enchanted. His only resistance potion was his determination to not act like a country bumpkin.

Originally, when coming, he was left in a dilemma on which identity he should give to get access to Mr. Calibri’s mansion. As a billionaire, not everybody from the streets was qualified to enter his house.

Even with his rank as a 3rd rank high-grade soldier, Clark knew that it didn’t mean much. He was pretty sure that Mr. Calibri had at least one 3rd rank high-grade soldier as his personal guard.

In a sense, this era was the age of exotics and technology, but it was also the age of money. Every era is an era of money.

After putting in a lot of effort to brainstorm, he finally settled on revealing his real identity. Before he got lost in the Mediterranean Sea, he already pledged to be Sonia’s boyfriend. So why cower now?

Even if the situation went contrary to what he expected, he could just go back. But he believed that everything would work well, the dream that he had the previous night was still ringing in his head.

Getting to the mansion, he was not allowed inside. Instead, he was told to wait in a huge shade outside the mansion that was built for visitors.

Even before he arrived, dozens of other people already came before him.

Being such a high-profile billionaire, Mr. Woods Calibri was not an idle person. Every day, there would be businessmen and women coming to his estate just to get a partnership contract with him.

With that in mind, Clark patiently sat with his student. An hour later, Pinky complained of how boring the wait was so Albert had to take her out for a walk around the estate.

Just like he saw in his dream, he was summoned exactly 4 hours later.
