Cursed Immortality

Chapter 84 I’ll Take It!

Soon, Peter stopped outside a building with three floors.

Jacob looked out and saw the name, ʼSilver Real Estate Dealersʼ.

Jacob knew he was in the right place, ”Wait here.” He nodded and leave the carriage and entered the building.

The interior was quite lavished, made with wood and similar furniture.

A plump man wearing an expensive attire approached Jacob at this moment with a big smile on his face as two golden teeth flash in his mouth,

”Sir, if youʼre looking for good properties, you come to the right place!”

Jacob nodded, and they both sat in front of each other.

The fate dealer smiled fawningly. ”So, what kind of properties my lord is looking for? We have many properties in all the excellent areas of Lionheart City.”

Jacob coolly stated, ”Iʼm not staying permanently here. I want to rent a small house with a pool and garden for three months and Iʼll pay in advance. But I only have one condition. I donʼt want any commotion around so it had to on a peaceful location. Do you have such a place?”

The fat dealer was startled by Jacobʼs strange demands, but he deals with all kinds of customers, so Jacobʼs demands were still reasonable and he also seemed quite rich since he was willing to pay upfront.

Furthermore, with Jacobʼs build, he could tell Jacob wasnʼt normal at all.

So, he quickly nodded with a big businessman smile, ”Indeed, I have such a place and itʼs quite expensive since itʼs in the safest place in the entire city.”

”Oh, which area?” Jacob was slightly intrigued.

”The Lion Street! This area is only two miles away from the Lionheart Estate, and only rich people live there, even high-rank mercenaries. Thatʼs why no one causes trouble there, and it considers the safest area of the city.” The fat dealer quickly told with a hint of excitement.

Jacob had to admit this place had the qualification to be the safest place.

”How much?” Jacob asked. He was as rich as those official nobles with all those titan iron bricks, so money wasnʼt an issue right now for him.

The fat dealerʼs smile broadens instantly. He knew he would be going to get a huge commission. He quickly told, ”The owner of this property wants 2 Gold Coins for a month. However, since sir will pay in advance for three months, I can negotiate the price with him.”

However, to his surprise, Jacob shook his head and said, ”I donʼt want to waste time, so I accept 2 Gold Coins a month. I want to move this instance. Can you do it or I can go somewhere else?” Jacob stated, with no place for negotiation.

The fat dealer was shocked since 2 Gold Coins were quite a sizeable sum for even an E-rank mercenary, but this guy was speaking as if it was nothing. But he was quickly thrilled since his commission would be high as well if Jacob pay high.

He quickly stood up, afraid Jacob would go somewhere else, ”I can arrange that Sir, give me ten minutes!”

Jacob nodded and watch the Fate guy running on the upper floor.

Soon, the fat dealer appeared with sweat all over his face and panting heavily as if he had run a marathon and fat on body jiggle.

”Sir, l-letʼs… go!” He shows the key in his hand to Jacob.

Jacob was speechless. ʼHe wonʼt die with this much running, right?ʼ he wondered as he followed him.

Soon, the fat dealer hailed his own private carriage, and Peter followed that carriage, with Jacob now riding within the fat dealerʼs lavish and comfortable carriage.

After traveling for twenty minutes, they enter a spotless area with beautiful houses around and tree on the roadsides.

Finally, they all stopped in front of this two-story house, which was two hundred square meters in size. It has a small pool and a garden. This wasnʼt small at all and made quite well. The furniture was also with the house, so Jacob wonʼt have to buy a new one, but if he damaged it he had to pay.

Soon, a dainty woman in her late twenties appeared. She was the owner of this house.

The fat dealer introduced, ”This is Miss Miley, the owner of this house. Miss this the gentlemen who want to move immediately and heʼs willing to pay three months rent in advance so…”

Before he could finish, the dainty woman cut him and she spoke coldly, ”Iʼm sorry I have already rented this house to someone else this morning and that person might be here at any moment. I wonʼt apologize for wasting your time since I wasnʼt prior informed, so itʼs not my fault you wasted this trip.”

The fat dealerʼs expression changed when he heard this and couldnʼt help but cursed Miley for being a sly bitch, since it was her fault, actually.

Because if she had already rented the house, it was her duty to inform him within an hour so he could remove the house from the renting list, but she didnʼt bother.

Now it was he who was going to take the blame since Mileyʼs background wasnʼt simply as a small property dealer like him could headbutt her.

Furthermore, he will be going to lose Jacob, a rich customer, as well, since he wasted the manʼs time.

However, Jacob smile faintly and said, ”I understand. But I like this place and Iʼm already here, so, how about I increased one gold coin in rent?”

The fat dealerʼs eyes widened in disbelief. His monthly salary was only one gold, yet this man was offering it like it was nothing. ʼJust what is his background?ʼ

Mileyʼs eye shimmered in surprise when she heard Jacob was willing to pay an extra gold coin, which was quite alluring for her. Furthermore, she could tell Jacob wasnʼt from the city or she wouldʼve known someone like Jacob, who seemed to be quite wealthy.

ʼIs he a merchant?ʼ She thought.

She hesitated before she said as her tone finally soften, ”Your offer is indeed quite captivating Sir, but the person I rented this house is an Apothecary Apprentice and I donʼt think it would be a wise decision to antagonize him for both of us.”

”Apothecary Apprentice?!” The fat dealerʼs round face loses all its color when he heard ʼApothecary Apprenticeʼ and nearly wet himself.

In Lionheart City or any city, in fact, one could offend any but someone from the Apothecary Guild because they had an extremely high status in this kingdom because of their skills in medicine.

Although strength was important for a nationʼs development, what can they do with strength when they donʼt have medicinal knowledge to protect that strength?

As a matter of fact, in this place, medicinal knowledge has a far greater value than strength because no matter how strong you are, if you get wounded or get ill with some unknown illness, then no matter how much power you have, you will fall.

Thatʼs why these apothecaries were so precious to this kingdom and enjoy a status equivalent to a C Rank mercenary even if they were just Apothecary Apprentices which were as weak as an ant in front of a C-rank mercenary.

”Sir, how about I arrange another place for you? Give me three hours and I can find a house which satisfies your needs. It better if leave before the esteem Apothecary Apprentice come.” He suggested in an extremely respectful tone.

Jacob sighed. He knew the status an Apothecary represents in this place and it wonʼt be good to clash with one just because of the house. He still has to stay here for a while, so it wonʼt be good if some quack will ruin his plans.

”Alright, weʼll leave.” Jacob nodded, although he wasnʼt afraid of trouble in this place, but seeking trouble was another matter.

Everyone sighed in relief as Miley in the white dress had a good impression of Jacob right now.

She couldnʼt help but said, ”Sir, if you donʼt mind the size or price of the place, there is a mansion two blocks away. Itʼs five-time bigger than this place. The owner is my friendʼs father. Although they want the annual rent in advance, I can make them drop it to six months.”

Jacob stopped and questioned, ”How much?”

”10 Gold Coin for a month, which means you have to 60 Gold Coins. What do you think?” She asked. Even for someone like her, 60 Gold Coins were quite a massive number.

One could buy a large house with 60 gold coins in another area of lionheart city, but this place was the most expensive area.

The fat dealer cursed Miley for trying to rob him of his job, but he remained silent and only wish Jacob would reject her since it was just too damn expensive.

”Is there a pool?” Jacob inquired.

The fat dealer had a bad feeling when he heard this.

Miley smiled brightly. ”Yes, much bigger than this one.”

Jacob chuckled, ”Iʼll take it!”
