Richard had nothing to do for the next few days after he returned from the Black Market.
On the way, he went to Solan City’s government office and took over Violet Manor.
At this moment, the vast manor in the city center, which covered an area of more than 50 acres, had become his private property.
In the future, he will base the Chamber of Commerce of Twilight City here.
!!
Richard, Rebecca, and Xina took the opportunity to tour the bustling city.
He also examined the city’s layout while he visited the city’s scenery and culture, from which he gained a lot of inspiration and a clearer understanding of how to build Twilight City.
Big but not chaotic, big but not messy, big but orderly, this was his summary of Solan City.
Everybody could say that the city’s various plans are perfect. It was worthy of being the most prosperous city in the desert of death.
The only difference was that these few days, there was suddenly a graceful and lively figure beside him… Christy Solan.
She was the owner of the city. She was the daughter of the legendary ascetic. She was the current controller of the Solan Chamber of Commerce.
To his amusement, this noble girl would come over from time to time to please him and find some random topics to chat about.
He even mentioned the victory gemstone a few times in a roundabout way…
As for the girl’s thoughts, he could understand them with just a few glances. However, he was starkly uninterested in a girl still in the state of a young girl, so he responded perfunctorily.
Rebecca ambitioned to become the Grand Duke of Frostwolf, and he was willing to get closer to her and invest in her.
This Princess Christy was just playing with a child, and he had no interest in playing with her.
Even if she had a terrifying legendary existence behind her.
However, it was interesting to note that Richard’s nonchalant reaction had stirred up Christy’s competitive spirit, as she was used to the divine lords who always chase after her.
What right did Rebecca have to receive a treasured gift like the victory gemstone? But remain starkly unmoved by her? Was she that unattractive?
She’s even more eager for Richard now.
This mentality was very much like children who would compete with each other to see whose toy would be better.
Rebecca saw that Christy pestered Richard, so she apologized to Richard in private and told her not to take Christy too seriously. The family has spoiled her since she was a child. So she was a little naive and stubborn.
Richard didn’t comment.
2nd of October.
In the evening.
Violet Manor, main hall.
Christy said while she looked for Richard with great interest,
“Lord Richard, is there a never-ending sandstorm outside Twilight City? Where did you get such a treasure?”
She looked at the other party while they drank tea calmly. She didn’t wait for Richard to reply and continued.
“Also, can you describe the underground world? The next time I go to Twilight City, can you bring me to the underworld?”
“I heard that there’s a black dragon treasure in the underground world. There are spider lairs everywhere. It’ll be interesting…”
The princess continued to seek the support of Richard.
The chirping sound was as clear as the chirping of birds. Although she was talkative, it made people unable to raise negative emotions.
Richard had gotten used to this blabbermouth after a few days.
He said unhappily.
“Your father allowed you to leave Solan City?”
Christy’s face fell.
Then, he said with hatred.
“I’m already level 14! I can make my own decisions when I reach level 15!”
“Then we’ll talk when you’re level 15.”
“Lord Richard… You’re so kind.”
“Thank you,” he said.
“I’m not complimenting you, you bastard.”
“Don’t be rude, Your Highness.”
“You’re not allowed to talk to me like that!”
Rebecca watched from the side with a smile. It was the first time someone had interacted with Christy so casually with her status.
Richard’s stony attitude made Christy happy. She liked the atmosphere.
She could feel that Richard didn’t see her as His Highness… It was a novel concept in the “Shining Era”. They strictly enforce social classes.
Just as Christy chattered away…
‘Tata!’
A series of footsteps came from the door.
“Lady Rebecca, three grace mainland overlords are here to see Lord Richard.”
Two of them were servants from the manor… One he never saw before.”
Rebecca turned to look at Richard.
Richard’s eyes brightened. Could these overlords have information on the Soul Contract?
Although he had received the mission from the Red Dragon General Store and the reward was a Soul Contract, the difficulty of the S-rank mission had exceeded his expectations.
Before he was fully prepared, he would not go there rashly.
He could enslave the Grand Duke vampire in the blood coffin if he could get a contract before he entered the instance.
It would undoubtedly increase his confidence when he entered.
He said slowly,
“Call them in.”
The guard received the order and turned to leave.
Christy asked.
“Lord Richard, what did those grace mainland overlords want with you?”
Richard chuckled at the little girl.
The other party was a standard curious baby who was interested in everything.
“Some private matters.”
“Oh…” Christy’s big eyes rolled. She suddenly thought of something and asked with interest.
“Lord Richard, did they ask you to go to Nightingale Street?”
Richard almost spat out the hot tea he had just drunk.
Nightingale Street was the most famous street in Solan City. It was famous for its affordable price and outstanding service for female sex workers… It had always been a place where people often went.
He looked at the daughter of the glorious master in a bad mood.
“What’s in your head?”
