Chapter 10: Revenge!
"Yo, what do you think you are doing on my property, Mr. Fatty?" Carl asked the fat landlord who came into the apartment with two men.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
"Your property?" Gadar raised an eyebrow to this. "Young man, this is MY property. And I thought I made myself clear when I told you that you should leave the apartment after the expiration of your rent period. I gave you enough time to pack, yet you are still here...In theapartment! In my building!" said the fat landlord with a snicker.
"Tsk, tsk, Fatty. You got it all wrong. Since when did I rent this apartment? I clearly bought the whole building." Carl said and opened the electronic copy of the contract both him and the Landlord signed.
When Gadar noticed the abyss black psychic wristwatch on Carl's arm, his eyes opened like saucers.
"No, you played on the contract. I don't believe you!" He said that, but what Carl had opened was the contract sent by him.
With a mental command, Gadar opened the document, appearing on the hologram projected by his wristwatch. The document was the same as with Carl's. He fell on his buttock and stuttered, "You- You will pay for this. I have friends in the police! I will make you regret messing with me."
"Oh ho, do what you can. But do remind your friends who they are going to mess with." Carl said and showed his last name signed on the agreement.
The kindergarten Miles had been wasn't a normal one, and every other kid went there was also rich or influential. However, after Miles began making his own decisions, he chose a public school for primary school. Thus, not many people knew him. But Carl was different. His last name, when matched with his domineering self, gave a reminder to the fat landlord.
"You- Why are you messing with me? I am just a poor citizen!" He hardly asked.
"You cheated the poor and fawned on the rich. But you messed with the wrong person. If you have stayed true to your word, that person would pay your rent diligently and would leave sooner than six months without asking for his money back. But since you are human trash with endless greed, the whole building is now my property."
"You can't do that. I will go to court." Gadar cried, but to no avail. Carl threw them out, and Miles came into the living room.
Miles finally got some shut-eye he deserved after watching a movie last night. When it was about to be 24 hours since Carl signed the papers, Miles hid in the bedroom, and Carl was waiting for the Landlord to show up.
"You are as vicious as ever," Carl said with a smile.
"Please, he brought it on himself," Miles said and shrugged it.
He planned his vengeance as soon as the Landlord left his apartment a week ago. But without money, there wasn't anything he could do. Thus, he stayed in the portal world and luckily earned big.
"This? It is a piece of thrash but prettier than a pebble." Miles said with disdain.
"No, no. It really is a treasure. Do you know where I get it from?" The man was acting strangely.
"I don't care. It is trash anyway." Miles acted as if he wasn't interested in the stone. He knew with the slightest interest he would show, the price of the stone would multiply.
"Listen to me!" The man shouted all of a sudden, and people window shopping all turned to look at him. The man hid his face behind his head-sized hat.
Miles looked at the man pitifully and decided to listen. Coin was still inspecting the stone.
"I was once a successful archaeologist. Before monsters appeared, my team and I sent to find the treasure hidden in the pyramids. Many people searched before us, and we knew our chances were slim. But we went for it anyway.
There were six of us, and by the stroke of luck, we made it inside of the treasure room. There we found writings. They they were pitiful." the man lost his focus at this point and looked at space as if he had seen something. Miles turned to look where the man was looking, but there was nothing there.
"Ah!" The man shouted and came back to himself.
"What was written in the treasure room?" Miles asked.
"I can't remember." The man said calmer than ever and pointed to the stone. "It was the only treasure we could find there. Interested? Only for 1.000.000 UD!"
"Why don't I give you my two kidneys and sell my body for you as well?" Miles said and threw the rock to the table.
"Wait, wait." The man grabbed the stone before it hit the table and caught up with Miles. "How about 100.000 UD?"
"Wait! 10.000 UD." The man swallowed hard and looked pleadingly. He couldn't go any lower than that.
"Miles, please buy it for me. I think it is something good." Coin said to Miles.
He could only sigh and felt lost when it comes to Coin, "My money is your money. No need to explain..."
