They handed such a profitable deal to a new girl just like that? What the hell! The commission from this sale alone would be at least two million. The three of them immediately began questioning their life choices.
They hurried over to see what was happening and saw Kayden sign the contract without even looking at it.
Such an extravagant spending was something that none of the three had ever seen, even with all their colorful experiences.
Buying a villa and signing the contract without reading it, all within an hour-how much wealth must one have to be this extravagant? And goodness, they had missed this opportunity!
While the other two were still in shock, the one named Sara suddenly made a move. She put her hand on Kayden’s arm and smiled ingratiatingly, “Um, handsome, we still have…”
“Don’t touch me!” Kayden shook off her hand coldly and gave her a fierce glare.
Sara was the top saleswoman among the three. She was also the most beautiful one, and the one with the most attractive figure. Her clients were all high-profile ones. This was the first time she had been rejected, and this rudely nonetheless.
Seeing this, the other two eager women gave up immediately, even though it wasn’t uncommon for the three of them to compete for clients.
“By the way, could you please send this to West Road of Old Town? I’ve written down the specific address and door number on the contract,” Kayden said to Mya.
Mya nodded and replied, “Okay, I got it.”
Kayden left without looking back, and Mya’s heart was racing. It was real! She had actually sold a luxurious villa! This was too just unbelievable!
Finally, after Kayden left the sales center, Mya let out a relieved cheer and said, “I sold a house!”
She ran to the front desk yelling, leaving the three women staring at each other in shock.
After turning in the contract, Mya suddenly remembered something. She should’ve at least offered that man a dinner. After all, this sale was a huge help for her, and she didn’t even properly thank him. The commission was at least two million. But aside from the money, this man had also helped her secure this job.
At the thought of that, she hurriedly ran outside, only to find that the man was long gone.
Mya slapped her forehead, thinking that she would just have to wait until the next time they meet.
Kade and Lorelei left the sales center in a Land Rover. Kade’s heart was pounding the whole way, and was filled with nervousness and unease. Never would he ever thought that he would see such a big shot in a small town like Hiphia. This was truly enlightening. He had actually seen the legendary Supreme Black Card with his own eyes.
And Heavens, he belittled that man like that. If that man were to hold a grudge, he could wipe out Kade’s entire family with a single word.
This was what his senior executive uncle had said! He even said it in front of Kade’s father.
Why? Why did he have to offend such a powerful man? Kade regretted it so deeply that he wanted to slap himself.
Now, he could only pray that the big shot wasn’t petty and wouldn’t hold a grudge against him.
“Kade, who is he exactly? Why are you so scared?” Lorelei, sitting in the passenger seat, had never seen Kade this frightened. She was very confused and couldn’t help but ask.
Lorelei knew Kayden well. He was just Georgia’s foolish husband. Everyone in Hiphia knew that. Could this fool really have such a powerful background?
“I’m not sure. Let me make a call and ask.” Kade dialed his uncle’s number.
Soon, the call went through. “Kade, what’s up?”
“Uncle Emilio, there’s something I want to ask you. Is it true that only two people in Seclela have the Supreme Black Card you mentioned last time, the one with the gold frame?”
Emilio paused for a moment before replying, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
“No reason, Uncle Emilio. Just tell me.”
Emilio then said, “According to the record, there are indeed only two people in Seclela who have it. But why are you asking this now?”
Kade hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Uncle Emilio, can you tell me who those two people are?”
After a moment of contemplation, Emilio finally said, “Fine, there’s no harm in telling you. I think one of them is an elder from a large, mysterious family, though I’m not sure exactly who. As for the other, he’s said to be a young man with a powerful background-known as a hero of Seclela and a guardian of the border. They say that even his broken sword, placed at the border, is enough to keep hundreds of thousands of enemies at bay. His name alone can strike fear into any invader. He is considered Seclela’s iron wall and a national asset. That card of his is granted by our country. However his deeds are more like legends. But regardless, a legendary figure like this is not someone people like us should mess with, do you understand?”
These words made Kade gasp. A young man who was a national asset and guarded the border.
That man he had just seen was quite young, wasn’t he? Could he really be that legendary figure?
This thought made Kade shiver involuntarily.
“Kade, no matter what, stay away from people with such cards. Alright, I need to go to a meeting now.” With that, Emilio hang up the phone.
Kade didn’t quite catch the end of what Emilio said.
“Kade, what’s wrong? Is he really that terrifying? You look pale!” Lorelei asked again.
Kade finally came back to his senses and asked, still gasping, “Do you really know him?”
“Yeah.” Lorelei nodded without hesitation. “He really is just a fool. We had dinner together just a few days ago.”
“Do you know he is a national asset of Seclela?”
Lorelei, as ignorant and short-sighted as she was, shook her head in confusion. “No, I don’t. What national asset?”
Kade explained, “He’s from the military, an extremely prominent figure! He’s a commander with a highly prestigious status, equivalent to our country’s former Grand Marshal!”
Lorelei was stunned, finding it hard to believe. She blinked and said, “How is that possible? I’ll call his wife and ask.”
But before she could dial, Kade stopped her. “Don’t! Are you stupid? You think people like you and me should mess with someone of such status and power? If you upset him, he could wipe out our entire family with just one word.”
Although she was doubtful, Lorelei still put her phone away reluctantly when she saw the serious look on Kade’s face.
Kade wasn’t a timid person. On the contrary, he was intrinsically quite proud. Moreover, he was very knowledgeable, knowing far more than Lorelei herself.
A commander!
Did Georgia marry a commander?
In the afternoon, Kayden took a bus to Inassea by himself, as Greedy Wolf had been sent to Oriaville to investigate someone who was impersonating him. With no flights or subways from Hiphia to Inassea available, Kayden chose the most common form of transportation: the bus.
He sat by the window, leaning his head against it, feeling the gentle breeze on his face through the open window.
Outside, everywhere he looked was green. The southern landscape was rugged, making the bus ride quite bumpy.
What he had said to Georgia the night before was not just an angry outburst or a joke. He meant every word he said. After all the time they had spent together, Kayden realized that this kind of life wasn’t what he wanted at all.
Years of life in the military had made him forget what it meant to be human. He came from the military district, a harsh place where bloodshed was a daily occurrence. He had spent his entire life there, where the constant killing had turned his heart cold and his blood icy.
