Buy a villa

Firstly, no time. Secondly, this move was obviously not in vain. What was the person doing? Depositing money? If he played along, she would definitely want him to buy the financial products she recommended. Eugene planned to invest most of his money in stocks, aiming to double it to twenty billion or even more within two months, with the last month reserved for crazy spending.

So, his initial capital was too important.

He just added the manager Dinah's WeChat and left the lottery center.

He hailed a cab and returned to the Riverwood community.

Why go back to the original community?

Because he wanted to buy a house here.

If he didn't buy a house here, how could he humiliate Claire's family and exact revenge after the apocalypse?

Hail continued to fall. If it hit someone, their head would surely be split open, and it was highly poisonous. Skin contact caused excruciating pain, and if it drew blood... well, that would mean death.

So, of course, Eugene didn't want to go elsewhere and ris affecting his revenge.

In this community, he could enter through the underground garage.

"Examine the house, sir?" .

Eugene nodded, "Buy a house."

The agent was naturally ecstatic, feeling like he had just stumbled upon a gold mine, and promptly began enthusiastically introducing options.

Eugene gestured, "I've set my sights on the 8th house in the Riverwood community, that villa. Call the seller and let them know I'll buy it today at the listed price. However, I need the keys today, and I'll start renovations immediately."

The agent seemed like he was in a dream.

This was practically a case of money falling into his lap!

Was there any business better than this?

"Sure thing, I'll make the call right away," he said, eagerly.

That was a villa, listed at 12 million. Even if he only got 0.5%, that was still 60,000! Lucky for him, he wasn't a woman; otherwise, he would have suspected Eugene wanted to sleep with him.

Thirty minutes later, the landlord arrived.

Both parties happily concluded the deal. Eugene first swiped 1 million as a deposit. Once the contract was ready, they could go to the housing bureau to finalize the deal.

The landlord gladly handed the keys to Eugene. After all, Eugene had provided his ID and other documents, and he had already paid 1 million as a deposit. Worried that he might steal things from the villa? He had moved out all the valuables. It was just an empty shell now; the furniture and such weren't worth much.

The agent was thrilled, and others envied him greatly. In just over an hour, he had earned 60,000. Too easy.

This quickly became a good story, spreading rapidly not just among real estate agents but also in the Riverwood community. Through the gossip of those nosy aunties, the entire community soon knew.

Eugene entered the villa with the keys. He was now the owner here, recognized by facial recognition at the community entrance, making it hassle-free. Once inside the villa, he started searching online.

What was he searching for?

Home renovations.

After selecting based on reviews and reputation, he began contacting the service providers.

"Hello," came a rough male voice from the other end.

"I want to renovate a villa," Eugene said.

"No problem," came the reply.

Eugene began listing his requirements, "Just one thing, sturdy. I want the house to be so sturdy that even if someone outside tries to smash it with a sledgehammer, it won't break through. And all the windows should have steel plates that can be raised and lowered."

The other end was taken aback. Despite having dealt with many clients, this was the first time they had heard such renovation requests.

However, the customer was king.

"No problem."

"How long will it take?" Eugene asked.

"Minimum of six months, depending on the size of your villa," they replied.

Eugene smiled, "The project cannot exceed two months."

The other end hesitated for a moment.

"You're renovating an entire villa, not building a pigsty or a dog kennel! How can it be done in two months?" the man said.

"...It'll need a lot of money!" the man continued.

Eugene smiled, "No problem!"

Wait, I haven't even said how much yet. Hold on, I haven't even given a price yet, how can I give money?

The man quickly said, "Where are you? I'll come over immediately, see the site, and then give you an answer."

"Alright," Eugene nodded, giving the address. While searching for this company, he saw reviews that said this renovation company was very capable, able to complete many impossible tasks.

To completely renovate an entire villa in two months, turning it into a steel fortress, this was not just difficult, it was nearly an impossible task.

If this wasn't Kretonia, famous for its infrastructure mania, which other country in the world had a renovation company that could achieve this?

He put down his phone, waiting for Freeman, the contractor, to arrive. Meanwhile, he opened his stock trading app and began operating. Memories flooded back, and he started making moves.

However, before Freeman arrived, someone was already at his door.

Chris and his wife were at home taking care of their grandson when suddenly, bang bang bang, there was an urgent knock at the door, sounding like the sky was falling.

"Who is it?" Chris asked, a bit annoyed, as he walked over to open the door.

When the door opened, it was Aunt Carol from Unit 7, known for her sharp tongue.

"Chris, your has hidden quite deep!" Aunt Carol said straight away.

Chris was taken aback by her words.

Hidden quite deep? Huh, could news of his daughter's divorce have already spread?

That couldn't be. Who in the family would spread such disgraceful news? Damn it, it must be that bastard Eugene!

Suddenly, the old man "realized" and immediately started cursing loudly, "That bastard Eugene! He hit me yesterday, and today he's spreading rumors of divorce everywhere! Is he trying to drive our whole family crazy?"

"Ingrate! He's a true ingrate!"

"We took him in, fed him, clothed him, and this is how he repays us!"

Aunt Carol, on the other hand, was stunned.

What? Your daughter and son-in-law are getting divorced?

Heh heh, this just got even more interesting.

She chuckled and said, "So, your daughter and son-in-law are getting divorced! Oh, Chris, oh Chris, you guys are something else!"

She gave a thumbs up.

"I just heard from the real estate agent that your son-in-law, oh sorry, Eugene, he bought the villa in the neighborhood, the one for 12 million, without even negotiating," Aunt Carol said, her face filled with anticipation, as if watching a drama.

"What are you talking about?" Chris couldn't believe it.

Eugene? Buying a house? A villa?

How is that possible?
