After fifteen minutes, Kent landed before the property dealer store. As he was already late, instead of walking, Kent hired a bird taxi.
"Thank you, young master." The lady who drove the bird replied while receiving 20 bronzes from Kent.
Kent nodded his head and marched towards the store. Just as he stepped inside the store, the sales assistants began swarming around him. A lady grabbed his hand and began pestering him in a sweet tone.
"What happened to these peckers? Yesterday, they ignored me like a plague. But now, they were adoring me like mother duck." Kent muttered while trying to stop the attendants.
"Can you please leave me? I came for Stella." Kent shouted loudly while pushing away the pestering girl, who was rubbing her bosom against his shoulder.
The store became pin-drop silent after hearing his shout. All the eyes moved to a lady in the corner who stood with a wide, open mouth.
Stella had already recognized Kent when he came inside the store. But she couldn't believe Kent's new appearance. Stella thought she could easily sway Kent in the future with her looks, but after seeing his new outlook, all her plans shattered.
"There is no way he would fall for me. But... but I could only seduce him." Stella muttered, thinking of her possibilities against Kent.
"Stella, do you know this young master?" The girl holding Kent's shoulder asked with a doubtful gaze. They all know the true background of Stella, and it is impossible for her to know a rich young master. That's why everyone is staring at her doubtfully.
"What happened to your eyes? Do you forget people just because they change outfits? He is the young master who bought the hanging pearl palace. He came to sign the ownership document. Leave him." Stella shouted angrily in a prideful tone.
Immediately, the mob dispersed with a loud murmur. But the girl who held Kent's upper arm between her mountains still clutched to him reluctantly.
"Young master, my name is Susi. Next time, if you ever want to buy a property, please choose me. I can get you good discounts." The chubby girl spoke emotionally. Kent laughed awkwardly as he didn't get what big discounts she is talking about.
"Ok… okey… Now, can you release my arm?" Kent requested, his upper arm became hot as it struck between two mountains until now.
"Hehehe…" with a giggling laughter, Susi released his hand and waved her hand in good bye gesture. Like a mouse released from a pleasure bed, he hurriedly moved towards Stella.
Stella, who came prepared to use this chance well, wore a short white skirt and an extreme cropped top, which partially revealed her mountains from below. (If you don't know, please check the extreme crop top.)
"Young Master Kent, please follow me." Stella walked forward, towards a private room, while swaying her long legs.
Kent followed her, trying to move his gaze away from her round pods in the back.
"Look at that bi*ch. She is definitely seducing him with that outfit." Susi uttered in a jealous tone while staring at Kent longingly.
"Leave it, Susi; he is already picked. As per our rule, we must not fight internally." Another lady added in a consoling tone.
Inside the private room, Kent and Stella sat before a small wooden table.
"Young Master Kent, I have been waiting for you for the last hour." Stella spoke while opening a thick bundle of files.
"I got a little busy in shopping. Sorry for the delay." Kent replied in a humble tone.
"Don't say sorry. It is my privilege to assist you." Stella spoke as she moved the document towards Kent. "Please read the document. if it is okay for you, we will move on to signing." Stella replied, pointing her finger at the document.
As it was his first property, Kent went through the document thoroughly. Satisfied with the title deed, Kent asked Stella to proceed with the signing process.
With a smile Stella brought strange equipment in square size and fixed it on the property document. "Place your right hand on top." Stella spoke while activating the rectangular wooden slate.
As Kent placed his hand on top of it, an electric sensation passed through his palm, and his hand print was added to every page of the document as a borderline.
"Thank you, Mr. Kent. Your property is registered with the Wizard Society. From now on, you are the legal owner of Hanging Pearl Palace." Stella spoke in a cheerful tone while passing the document.
With a happy smile Kent stared at the document for a second and tossed it inside his bracelet. Stella's eyes sparked for a second as she noticed the Pegasus bracelet on his wrist.
"Is there anything we need to discuss?" Kent enquired as he prepared to leave.
"Not so fast, young master. Every year, you should pay 200 gold as the property tax, and in return, we will change the aura crystals supporting the Hanging Pearl palace. Also, weekly cleaning and maintenance are included in the package."
Stella explained while staring at Kent. Her brain is seriously thinking about how to spend more time with Kent.
"Anything more?" Kent asked casually as he stretched backwards lazily.
"One more thing... We almost finished decorating the hanging pearl palace. Please look into these images and tell me your opinion. I will make changes accordingly."
While holding a pointer scale in her hands, Stella displayed the interior images of Hanging Pearl Palace. Kent leaned forward to take a closer look. Stella also leaned forward as the images were pointed towards Kent.
While Kent is focused on the images, Stella heart becomes restless as she is inches away from Kent's face. If she can make a sudden movement now, their lips could merge. The hot breath of Kent tickled the long neck of Stella.
But even after a long time, nothing happened like Stella expected. Impatiently, she slipped the pointer scale in her hands, towards Kent's side. The scale directly fell to the ground.
As a natural reaction, Kent bent down to pick up the scale, but his gaze moved onto something else.
Stella, who is laughing shyly, opened her legs wide enough to offer a free show to Kent.
:D
"""…. She wore nothing!!!????"" " T-that's pink...!!
Literally, Kent had high-definition visuals before his wide-open eyes. Controlling his shaking resolve, Kent hurriedly picked up the scale.
"Thud…"
His head smashed against the edge of the table.
"Ahhh..." a loud cry followed, but Stella lunged forward and closed Kent's mouth before his shout could attract the attention of outsiders.
Kent continued to stare at her in close proximity while rubbing his head. His scalp is burning with pain.
"I'm sorry…. I'm sorry…" Stella whispered in a nervous tone without removing her hand from Kent's mouth.
Like the child who got electrocuted for the first time, Kent continued to stare at her face. But the images of 'Stella's gold mine' keep playing in his brain.
Stella could easily understand the shocked look in Kent's eyes. But her brain is pushing her to utilize this chance.
In the next second she ...
