An Almighty System From On High

Chapter 17

Adrien considered for a moment. He had less than 1.5 million dollars in his pocket now and would need money for relocating the locals and upgrading the System.

“Can I get back to you later, Sylvia? I’m not sure if I’ll have time for that.”

“Sure. Mr. Higgins. Please let me know before the 8th day of next month.”

Meanwhile, Lilianne also received invitation letters for the auction.

“Ms. Olson, all the rich people in Reburg will attend this auction. The host also reserved two seats for Corestar Group. So, what do you think?” Celia reminded.

“You can come with me. I’ll take the chance and catch up with my friends. The last few days have been rough for me.”

“What about Mr. Higgins…”

“He doesn’t know anybody there. Just forget about him.”

“O… okay.”

Things went well for the next few days. Adrien thought his ordinary commercial car might not be decent enough if he took it to the auction. He took Sylvia’s advice and bought a Bentley commercial car with seven seats that was worth more than 600 thousand dollars. That would make Adrien look good on the auction!

Adrien had been expecting to hear the relocation news on April 4. Unexpectedly, people of Education Block reached out to Sylvia on April 1.

It was clear Adrien was a bigwig as he owned over six thousand houses and was surrounded by a group of people when he came in here. The two people sitting there immediately stood up and greeted Adrien warmly.

you are being sincere here, Mr. Amos. 1,000 dollars per square foot may seem good enough for a shabby old house. However, the current policy states that the compensation offer must be based on the average house price of Reburg at least! It doesn’t matter how much my houses are worth.
