SWNOVELS Chapter 31
“Oh, I understand now. The investment opportunity was just a decoy. Inviting us out to have a good time was also a decoy. The
truth is that you want us to buy property from our sister-in-law, isn’t that so?” Henry had a look of realization on his face.
“It will be launched in a week... You will each purchase a single block,” Stanley Batton said firmly to suggest it was non-
negotiable.
“D*mn! An entire block? You are asking for too much.” Henry groaned.
“You are openly stealing from us!” Sebastian complained.
Gary Lakes did not say anything. Instead, he touched his forehead helplessly. Apart from Stanley, Gary was the person who
spoke the least.
“So?” Stanley looked at each of them in turn. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking or feeling at the moment.
“I’ll buy it.” Henry nodded helplessly. He felt that he was being forced to make a purchase.
“I’ll buy it too. How can we not buy property from our sister-in-law’s family business?” Sebastian rolled his eyes at Stanley.
‘D*mn. My hard-earned money!’ Sebastian thought.
“Since you’ve already said it, I must buy it too, of course.” Gary smiled broadly.
“If that’s the case, Sebastian, you won’t have to die.” Stanley looked at Sebastian.
“Really? I would like to thank you and all your ancestors!” Sebastian let out a long sigh.
Since Sebastian had accidentally injured Xyla Quest’s ankle the night before, he was still concerned about Stanley’s threat of
killing him.
Previously, Sebastian was worried that Stanley might do something terrible to him. Now that Stanley had pardoned him,
Sebastian felt completely at ease.
“The price of the property in that area will only rise. You don’t have to look all so sad.” Stanley lowered his head while he lit up a
cigarette.
As the smoke wafted around him, his distinct facial features seemed more attractive than usual. When he was quiet, he seemed
even better-looking than models in posters. There was a cold and noble Vibe about him. Although the men around him were not
terrible looking, he outshone them with his physical appearance.
“That... It’s true. However, don’t you think it hurts to fork out so much money at a moment’s notice?” Sebastian scratched his
head as he smiled.
“Yeah... It’s just that I’m not in a good financial position right now. The company I invested in isn’t exactly performing excellently.
Also, it costs a lot to look after the team of gamers,” Henry added.
“Don’t you feel embarrassed when you complain about how poor you are?” Stanley asked.
Henry and Sebastian immediately became speechless while they smiled awkwardly.
“Stanley, this is the first time I’ve seen you care about someone this much. Have you fallen in love?” Gary asked curiously.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Stanley said.
Gary immediately coughed awkwardly before turning to look at Henry. “Oh, right. Didn’t you say you were looking for another
ADC for your team? Did you manage to find one?”
“No. Although I have someone in mind, that person has refused me countless times,” Henry replied.
“Seven from the national server? Indeed, that person is pretty good. After all, Seven has been able to defeat Stanley every time
we get matched.” Sebastian shifted his gaze to Stanley as he spoke.
During his free time, Stanley also liked to play games like that to relax. In the game, his name is North. Before Seven appeared,
he had never lost to anyone. However, ever since Seven showed up, he would lose to her each time she showed up.
When Stanley heard the name ‘Seven’, his gaze subconsciously lingered upon Henry.
“I have been sending messages to this person privately in the game for many days. In fact, I offered a lot of money as a form of
temptation. Do you know what that person responded with?” Henry seemed very troubled when he talked about this.
