[Chapter 165]
Gerald caught interest in Mountain Top Villa, so he wanted Yoel to elaborate on it.
"Hehe, brother, how should I say this…" Yoel chuckled before he continued, "Mountain Top Villa is no longer just a simple residential area. It actually represents an honorable identity of sorts. As its name suggests, the villa is located on the highest peak of Mayberry's cloudy mountain top. The surrounding area has already been made into an estate; as if sitting above the clouds themselves, you can enjoy a birds-eye view of Mayberry City's mountains and rivers!"
Yoel's heart yearned for this villa.
Could it really be as perfect as what Yoel described?
Gerald asked, "By the way it sounds, this property must be quite expensive, aye?"
Gerald was very determined to buy a house this time. He decided to spend a couple of hundred grand to buy a villa, making it a lot more convenient to store his car and other things. His search for a new home led him to ask about Mountain Top Villa's price.
"What?!" Yoel was so shocked he spat out some wine. "F*ck! This is not just quite expensive, brother! Wanna know how much it costs? Exactly 1.0465 billion dollars!" he exclaimed, eyes as wide as golfballs.
Yoel's father would have surely spent 1.0465 billion if it was used to invest in a business. On the other hand, spending 1.0465
billion for a villa of no business value would be equivalent to a total waste of cash. Unless they had an endless supply of cash, even the very rich wouldn't have spent such money on something like that.
Yoel was still quite afraid of this property purchase price. Although he had invited many wealthy familied youngsters to join him today, he only spent a sheer 90,000 to 105,000 dollars.
"This amount of money is definitely nothing to you, brother. I remember your elder sister spending something like 149.5 million to 299 million dollars just to buy a customized car!"
Yoel gave Gerald the feeling of wanting to try out new things. He knew such small amounts of money meant nothing to Gerald anyway.
In reality, however, Gerald could imagine the pain in his flesh. Spending 1.0465 billion just to buy a residential home would be way too extravagant! Gerald shook his head, deciding to be more realistic instead. Perhaps he would buy villas worth between 149.5 thousand to 299 thousand instead.
"But that's alright, bro. We'll just go and have a look in three days. That wouldn't hurt, right?" said Yoel unwillingly.
If Gerald ended up buying it, Yoel would get to stay there too. Now that would be a true luxury!
"Alright, we'll take a look at Mountain Top Villa when I've got the time!" Gerald thought it won't be nice to reject Yoel, so he agreed despite knowing Yoel's motives. Behind his meticulous preparation of the pomp and splendor, all Yoel wanted was to get closer to Gerald. Besides, being thought highly by others wasn't something he hated.
A bunch of youngsters from wealthy families surfing happily could be seen. They were enjoying themselves and looked to be having a great time.
Of course, Gerald took the number one spot for most girls. Wherever he went, girls would follow, each doing their very best to convey their amorous intent. They repeatedly stole glances at him, hoping to get his attention.
However, Gerald was already exhausted, too tired to continue messing around with the bunch of pretty ladies. It would be the afternoon in no time, and the festival on the cruise ship had ended as well. He even declined Yoel's invitation to explore another place.
Gerald was, after all, different from Yoel. It didn't even matter if Yoel earned no college credits. It would be Monday tomorrow, and Gerald needed to attend college!
Aiden, in charge of driving, sent Gerald back to college.
Upon returning to his dorm, Gerald found nobody at his unit. It seemed Harper Sullivan and the others must have gone surfing the net again.
Gerald had been tired for two days straight. He planted his head on his pillow, instantly sleeping like a baby until he was awoken by the sound of the door opening.
"Harper, isn't Gerry back?"
"What? He's back? Why is his phone switched off then?"
Harper, Benjamin, and the rest had returned. They looked at Gerald excitedly, joking and laughing as they went along.
"Oh, it's been some time since I switched my phone off. I was too tired, and I didn't charge it. Hey, I've slept till six p.m. You guys were surfing the net for that long?" asked Gerald as he glanced at his watch. He's been sleeping for more than three hours.
