10 : Tycoon

After pondering for a moment, Kent blocked his image and connected to the message with only his voice.

"Where are you?" Thea demanded in a stern tone, irritation clear in her voice.

"What do you want?" Kent asked, ignoring her question. 

"Hmmhh… You might be rolling on streets for all I care… Come and pick up your trash. I'm cleaning the house," Thea scoffed coldly.

"Why are you cleaning at this time? It's already midnight. Don't you have classes tomorrow?" Kent asked, puzzled.

"Stop blabbering… Take your trash now, or I will throw it in the bin," Thea snapped before disconnecting the call.

"What a fool! Can't he understand that I'm giving him a chance to plead? It seems like this lesson isn't enough for him. I need to act more strictly," Thea muttered while placing the glass orb on a table.

Kent washed his face, came out of the hotel, and placed a bronze coin on the pet pole.

Soon, an old man riding a house eagle landed in front of him. 

Kent mounted the eagle and said, "Sky family street."

Five minutes later, the eagle landed near the old villa where Kent used to live. 

After paying 10 bronze coins to the old man, Kent walked towards the old villa.

As he knocked, the door opened immediately since Thea was waiting for him at the door, contemplating how to handle the situation.

Kent's gaze landed on her long legs. Thea wore tight shorts, exposing her milky white thighs and a white T-shirt which accentuated her curves and breathtaking mounts which the young man couldn't help but notice.

"How smelly! Don't you have another pair of clothes?" Thea said in a disgusted tone, acting as if she was pinching her nose.

Kent ignored her and began gathering his things from a table.

"First, take a shower and remove your things from the washroom. I can't bear this smell," Thea interrupted him in a loud tone.

Kent continued to ignore her and went inside the washroom and collected his belongings in a small bag.

"What audacity! He dares to ignore me like I'm nobody. Let's see how many days he acts this way. I will have my revenge when he comes back and begs me," Thea muttered with an angry face while staring at Kent.

Except for his clothes and a few daily necessities, Kent didn't have much to grab. Within ten minutes, he had gathered everything on a table.

After thinking for some time, he spread his bedsheet on the floor and placed everything in it before tying its ends and carrying them on his shoulders like an old-age washerman.

Just as he stepped outside, Kent turned to Thea.

"What is it? Do you want to plead now?" Thea questioned with a serious face.

"Thea, I'm really sorry for all the trouble I caused you. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask me," Kent stared at Thea's face while speaking in a humble tone.

"What could you possibly help me with? First, worry about your survival," Thea responded with a cold face.

After seeing her indifference, Kent turned around to leave the place. He had first considered sharing information about his new wealth but his aunt spoke about enemies tracing him; that's why Kent decided to keep his wealth secret for the time being.

(Don't worry, guys; Kent isn't the type of guy who acts weak to hide his wealth. We will flaunt our wealth because money is our melody.)

Thea was surprised when Kent left without another word. She had expected him to plead with her to let him stay as soon as he came home.

"Kent," she called out urgently, "you can stay for the night if you want," Thea said with a serious face, refusing to show weakness.

Kent stared at her cold face, searching for any sign of concern for him. "If you're ready to accept me as your hubby, I will stay in this house with you. Otherwise, don't ever bother me," Kent said while holding her gaze for a long moment before walking along the road.

Thea stood there, unsure how to respond to Kent after hearing his words. Her mind raced with several thoughts about their relationship.

"Did he really love me that much? I thought he was only calling me wifey to take advantage of me," Thea felt the seriousness in Kent's words, but her anger clouded her thoughts as Kent ignored her invitation. 

"Whatever... he will come to me automatically in a few days," Thea muttered, heading back inside.

After leaving Sky Family Street, Kent called for pet service and arrived at the entrance of Hotel Moon Light.

The onlookers stared at him with their eyes wide open as he carried a heavy load on his shoulder. With his small bamboo bag unable to hold everything, he could only carry his belongings manually.

Some onlookers laughed and took pictures, however, Kent ignored everyone and headed to his VIP room.

"Ahhh… it's really painful to carry this much weight. I need to buy a big storage bag tomorrow," Kent muttered as he collapsed onto the bed.

In a small wooden apartment on the second floor, two stepsisters sat opposite each other in their rented room.

"So, tell me, how did you lose your job?" Sony's step-sister, Luna, questioned with a serious face.

Sony explained everything, from Kent's arrival to the events where the manager slapped her without hiding anything. 

"I don't know why the manager reacted so violently. That ordinary-looking young master seemed to agree with my lead."

"But one thing is sure: he's a tycoon. That fellow bought a wild beast like a toy. If I ever meet him again...." Sony trailed off, thinking of Kent, who had paid 1049 gold coins without hesitation.

"Sony, show me his contact information," Luna demanded as she picked up her glass orb.

"Why…? I don't think such a tycoon will care about strangers," Sony uttered while passing her glass orb to Luna.

"Didn't you say he's a young man? I have many ways to let him talk. Tomorrow, I will ask my manager to arrange a job for you in any of his stores. Go to sleep now," Luna replied as she finished transferring Kent's Sky Orb contact details into her glass orb.

After that, Luna went inside the restroom and took a few pictures of herself while exposing her low cleavage and snow-white thighs. She posed with different expressions: tongue out, licking, cat eye, and bulging ball pose.

After she was satisfied with the pictures, she opened the 'spell-chat' interface, a default communication platform for every communication orb in the magic world, and sent one picture with a low cleavage and one with a tongue-licking pose.

"Hai tycoon… do you like my pictures? I'm really a big fan of yours. I hope we will meet soon," Luna tagged a voice note beneath the picture.

She stared at Kent's profile for any information, but it only appeared blank with the default gold coin image. She saved Kent's profile as 'Tycoon' in her glass orb. 

"Let's give him some time. I bet he can't resist my mountains," Luna giggled as she walked out of the washroom.

(Sony studies at a different school. She is proficient in making dark potions, which is why she chose a witch school proficient in potion-making. Dark potions include poisonous, negative effect type and arousal potions.)
