Chapter 449

Chapter 449: Not renting, I am buying it.

Once Blake contacted Susan, she immediately informed the real estate agent and they set up a meeting point at the park in Central park on the north side of the middle region.

Without wasting time, Blake boarded a carriage and in less than 20 minutes he had gotten to the destination.

“That makes things easy.” Blake said as he stepped out of the carriage and spotted a man with a warm- beige skin tone wearing a 3 piece suit. He didn’t need to use the locator spell because the man stood out like a sore thumb.

“Are you the real estate agent Susan recommended?” Blake asked as he approached the man.

“Yes, good day sir...” The real estate agent was shocked when he turned only to see an 18-year-old.

“Hi, I am Blake.” Blake stretched forth his hand for a handshake, and the still confused real estate agent had no choice but to shake his hand.

‘That name sounds familiar.’ The real estate agent thought, but almost immediately he realized who was in front of him.

.....

“Mr Blake, congratulations on winning the regional competition.” The real estate agent said as he continued shaking Blake’s hand.

Most people, including nobles couldn’t make it to the Capital to watch the regional competition. So they had only heard the news about Blake and his friends bringing victory to the east region, but that meant not many knew him in person.

“So what kind of house are you looking for?” The real estate agent asked as he finally let go of his hand.

“I am looking for a duplex.” Blake answered.

“A duplex? They are very...” The real estate agent was about to mention that the price of a duplex was very costly, but that was when he remembered that Blake had been awarded a large sum of gold coins.

“They are very much available.” The real estate agent completed.

“What part of the city would be the ideal location for your future house?” The real estate agent asked.

“I have no particular place in mind, but I would like it if all options were within the upper area of the middle region. Also, I wouldn’t want it to be a place that stands out” Blake said.

The middle region was divided into 3 areas. The lower middle region, the mid-central region and the upper middle region.

The lower area of the middle region had a lower standard of living compared to the other areas in the middle region. The area was seen as an extension or an upgraded version of the slums in the east by many even though it wasn’t half as bad as the slums.

The next area was the mid-central region which was the busiest among the 3 all because of the markets, mid-sized factories and companies littered all around the area.

As for the upper area of the middle region, it was the most expensive in terms of cost of living. It was the closest to the central region, making it the perfect location for all top and luxurious companies and factories.

Its streets were not only clean but also less busy because many couldn’t afford the things there.

“Do you have a budget we could work on?” The agent asked.

“I don’t have anything in mind.” Blake answered.

‘Does he think that the real estate business is child’s play where you can just waste someone’s time?’ The real estate agent thought.

If it was a noble that made the same statement it meant he could afford any option or offer thrown at him. But for someone like Blake who just won 5 million gold coins, it felt like he was wasting his time.

“Alright then, I do have the perfect houses for you.” The real agent said as he planned on putting Blake in his place.

Leaving Blake would only tarnish his image, so instead he was going to take him to multiple high-valued houses. As Blake will continuously rejects the houses, not only would his self-esteem drop, but he would end up looking like a fool.

Both of them boarded a carriage before moving to the upper middle region of the west side of the city.

“You are in luck because this house just opened up a week ago. The previous tenant was a merchant that only left because he moved into the central region.” The real estate agent said as they came down from the carriage.

The duplex stood at a 1500 square feet space and its yard was moderate. As for the neighboring houses, they were all the same height and all had similar designs meaning his didn’t stand out.

‘The color would surely be changed.’ Blake said as he saw the brown paint used on the house.

The real estate agent led the way into the house. They walked through the passage that led directly into the empty living room.

At the top, left corner of the room was the staircase that led to the upper floor and to the right corner of the room was a large door that led to the bed and also into the kitchen.

“Over here is the kitchen.” The real estate agent said as he opened the double door to their right that led into the kitchen.

‘Either they go off or I go for sliding glass doors.’ Blake thought.

On entering the spacious kitchen, Blake saw the kitchen cabinets and table top which he straight up marked as gone.

At the far right corner end of the kitchen was the dining section which was not too far from the three sliding glass doors that led outside

The second stair leading to the upper floor was located at the top left corner some meters away from the dining section.

The door that connected the passage that led to both the living room and the bedroom was direct to Blake’s left.

After checking out the bedroom, Blake and the agent went upstairs.

The layout of the upper floor was not much different than that of the ground floor, but the only problem Blake had was that it wasn’t getting enough natural lighting.

“So what do you think about it?” The real estate agent asked after the tour was over.

“I love everything about the house and I would like to take it. So what is the price?” Blake asked.

The real estate agent smiled as this was the moment he had been waiting for.

“240k gold coins a year.” The real estate agent said with a smirk.

“You misunderstand me. I am not planning on renting, I want to buy the property.” Blake said wiping off the smirk on his face.

‘Did I just hear him right? No, this has to be a bluff.’ The agent thought.

“The price of the property is 12 million gold coins including the agent fee.” The agent said as his smirk returned to his face but that was when Blake brought out his black card causing him to be dumbfounded.

“I will take it.” Blake said to the real estate agent whose jaws were apart.

‘How is this possible?’ The agent couldn’t help but ask himself.

He wasn’t shocked by the fact that Blake could pay 12 million without even thinking. What had him star-struck was the black card in his hand.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

The black card given to Blake by Luciano, couldn’t be gotten by just anybody and that included nobles. Both extreme wealth and power were needed before one could get their hands on one.

“Do you have the contract with you?” Blake asked, snapping the real estate agent out of his reverie.

“Yes.” The agent said as he quickly regained his composure and brought the contract out of his dimensional amulet and handed it over to Blake.

‘The black card explains how he can afford the house, but how did he get his hand on one of those black cards?’

The black card commanded respect and with it, in Blake’s hand, he didn’t bother knowing if the supposed amount was within it.

‘I need to carry out a background check on him.’ The real estate agent thought as he patiently waited for Blake to read through the contract.

“Everything is good here.” Blake said as he signed the contract before swiping the black card on the payment device and sealing the deal.

“Nice doing business with you.” The real estate agent shook his hand once again before leaving.

‘Thank the heavens that I didn’t make any mistake, else my career would have been over.’ The agent thought as he boarded a carriage and left the area.
