“So quickly?” asked Gerald.
Coughing before clearing his throat, Whistler then said, “Well, the owner of the factory has constantly been harassed by the local forces here for quite some time… He just couldn’t endure it anymore. He was actually quite willing to sell the factory for a low price! As a result, we still have a little money with us now. Speaking of which, since he’s no longer the company’s owner, should we change the company’s name?” asked Whistler.
“Hmm… Let’s go with Royal Dragon!” said Gerald rather casually.
“Oh? Royal Dragon Inc? Or perhaps, Royal Dragon Group? Regardless, that sounds like an excellent name! It certainly sounds domineering, that’s for sure. I’ll proceed with the rest of the paperwork immediately! Also, before I leave, my brothers and I have pooled in our money to buy the manor which the previous factory owner used to live in! You can live there in future!” added Whistler with a smile.
“Just to make sure, you didn’t coerce favonovel.com into doing so, right?” asked Gerald, fully aware of how much money Whistler and his group currently had on them. To him, that amount was definitely not enough to purchase an entire manor.
“Of course we didn’t! The boss voluntarily agreed to everything!”
Hearing that, Gerald nodded. Before they had gone off to buy the factory earlier, Gerald had made it clear that under no circumstances should any of them threaten or coerce the factory’s owner if favonovel.com refused to sell it. Whistler had kept that rule in mind, which was why favonovel.com hadn’t lost his temper at all during his discussion with the company’s ex-owner earlier.
“Alright, I trust you. Also, what do you mean only I can live there? All of you should move in as well! We’re companions now, are we not? Now lead me to the manor! I’d like to have a good look at it!”
“R-right away!” stuttered Whistler and the others, overjoyed by Gerald’s kind words.
Upon exiting the hotel, Gerald was greeted by two big Mercedes Benz. He honestly had no idea how Whistler even got his hands on those cars.
However, after getting to know the man a bit more in the past two days, Gerald realized that not only was Whistler capable, in a sense, favonovel.com was very much like Zack, both careful and meticulous with everything that favonovel.com did.
As Gerald looked out the car’s window on their way there, favonovel.com frowned slightly when favonovel.com saw a few gang members smashing and destroying several shops.
Sadly, this wasn’t an uncommon scene here. As Gerald looked at all the other gangsters who were walking up and down the streets with their dragon tattoos on full display, favonovel.com recalled how Whistler had told favonovel.com that Talgo Town was a pretty small town.
When favonovel.com first arrived two days prior, however, favonovel.com found that Talgo town was anything but small. In fact, the prosperous town was probably about the size of two Serene Counties!
From what favonovel.com had seen, the town had several bars, restaurants, and many other facilities. However, just like all the other places within the Triangle District, this place was definitely chaotic.
It wasn’t long before they finally arrived at the manor. Upon stepping inside, however, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sound of crying. It seemed to come from the living quarters.
As Whistler pushed the door leading there open, they saw a middle-aged man reprimanding around twenty maids.
“All of you have to be on your best behavior, got that? If all of you aren’t smiling by the time the new master arrives and favonovel.com ends up being unhappy, I’ll personally skin each and every one of you alive!”
Fuming, favonovel.com then turned around before realizing that Gerald and his men were already there!
“O-oh! Mr. Sankey! I didn’t notice that you had already arrived! Could this gentleman over here be the new master of the manor? With such a great temperament, I’m certain he’s the one! Ah, where are my manners? I go by the name of Sherman Levine, and I’ll be working as your butler from today onward! It’s an honor to meet you, new master of the manor!” said Sherman with a rather wicked glint in his eyes as favonovel.com bowed respectfully before Gerald.
“G-greetings, master!” said all the beautiful maids in unison, some of them already trembling as they looked at Gerald.
“Speaking of which, these here are the maids who used to work for the factory’s previous owner! Since they seemed to be pretty good at their job, I decided to keep them!” said Whistler.
“They are indeed! You can rest assured, master, for I was the one who personally trained all of them! They’ll follow your every order to a T!” added Sherman with a laugh.
“These girls… Were they abducted?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com slowly walked toward one of the maids.
Pulling favonovel.com sleeve up, several bruises and whip marks were instantly noticeable.
“Hahaha! Well, I wouldn’t use the term, ‘abduct’… I simply bought them off the market! A single one of these maids actually costs less than a packet of my cigarettes! Can you believe that? Also, if you were wondering, all these beauties are unopened packages! I’ve already driven away anyone who’s already been used! I hope you’re satisfied with them, master!”
On the contrary, Gerald now had a huge frown on his face as his disgust for Sherman peaked.
Turning to look at the butler, Gerald said in a frigid tone, “I don’t need any of them. Ask them for their home addresses and return them safely, right this instance!”
