Chapter 657

Alfie and Yvonne gradually came to their senses. Yvonne was still in a daze while Alfie immediately started searching for Lady Nala.

"It's true... It's actually true..."

Hearing Nala keep repeating those words, Alfied asked quickly, "Miss, are you alright?"

He had already guessed what happened. Someone incredibly powerful must have appeared. How else could he have been knocked out instantly? At least Nala seemed unharmed, or he would never forgive himself. Nala glanced at him and shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't ask any questions. Let's pretend this never happened."

Though burning with curiosity, Alfie did not dare probe further after she said that. He could only wonder what legendary figure had appeared. It must be someone whose power and status were beyond his imagination. In Gray City, Felix followed a real estate agent through Heavenly Meadow, a residential area in the city center.

But now, few wanted to buy houses here despite the prime location. The prices were not cheap, and the residential area had been there for too long. That was why the agent was surprised anyone would be interested in one of the villas.

The apartments still sold well thanks to the central location, but it was rare to see anyone wanting to buy a villa. "Mr. Zeller, this is Villa No. 3. Watch your step, please."

The villa had been on the market for over a year without a single viewing. Felix was the first.

"Thank you." Felix looked around. There were vegetables planted in the yard, which meant the previous owner was probably someone elderly.

"The previous owners moved abroad to live with their son. They were meticulous people who maintained the house well."

The three-story villa had no garage. There were only a few parking spaces beside it. After touring the property, Felix smiled. "It's not bad."

Not bad? The agent was surprised. Did that mean there was hope in selling the villa?

"You have excellent taste, Mr. Zeller: Though it's older, the location is prime, and the property management is

Felix waved off her pitch. "You said it's eight million dollars, right?"

"Yes, and the owners said they're open to negotiating for a serious buyer."

The house was indeed well-maintained. It just needed cleaning and some furnishing to be ready for move-in. "I'll take it. Please arrange for cleaning."

The agent could hardly contain her excitement. Her colleagues would surely regret passing on this listing. They had all thought the villa would never sell, but now, she had a commission coming.

"I'll arrange it right away. Let's head to the office for paperwork."

After completing the purchase, Nelly Lorenzo caught up with Felix outside the office. "Mr. Zeller, you're new to Gray City, right? Have you bought a car yet?"

Nelly was attractive, tall, and slim. Her fitted sky-blue uniform showed off her long legs, which drew glances from passing men.

"No, not yet."

Gathering her courage despite her nervousness, Nelly continued, "Our company gives special bonuses for villa sales and commissions. With how much I earned today, I'd like to thank you by driving you around to shop for what you need. Would that be okay?" Chapter 658
