Chapter 677: Chapter 434: Is it too much to buy a Quadrangle Courtyard?_2

"No problem. I understand." Sean Knight naturally wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for others. Their service was very attentive.

The imagined situation in a clichéd story where someone looks down on others simply didn’t exist!

Sean handed over his card, and the agent swiped it in the machine to check. Seeing the many zeros and numbers on the back of the card, the agent’s eyes widened!

This guy really has... a lot of money!

The agent handed the card back to Sean with both hands:

"Mr. Knight, when would you like to see the house?"

"Later, I’ll bring the old man with me. This time the main purpose of buying a house is for the elderly."

"Alright." The agent immediately said, "Please wait, I’ll go get the car!"

The agent quickly ran to ask the manager for permission, then drove the most luxurious Mercedes from the company to pick up Sean. They went to the hotel to pick up Grandfather and Mark Knight’s couple and went to see the Quadrangle Courtyard house together.

"You said you’re buying a Quadrangle Courtyard?" Old Master Ralph Knight was a bit puzzled, "Why bother? Wouldn’t it be fine to rent a suite?"

"No problem, we’ll buy it, and we can live here whenever we want. If we don’t live here, it’s an investment. It’s better than living upstairs, at least it’s more down-to-earth!"

Mark Knight’s couple didn’t say anything. Since Sean went out, he’s had proper ideas and made money. Besides, with Grandfather here, they wouldn’t say much.

"Alright, let’s take a look." Old Master was also quite curious about the Quadrangle Courtyard, so he decided to take a look.

The agent first took them to see the Quadrangle Courtyard of the Royal family. After a tour, Old Master waved his hand and said:

"It’s too big. In the winter, we can’t even clean the snow..."

The agent thought to himself, spending 1.4 billion on a courtyard, and still having to clean the snow yourself? Just hire someone!

But he didn’t dare say this out loud for fear of offending Sean.

Sean smiled and said:

"Let’s take a look at the other one first, and then we’ll decide."

When they arrived at the other place, they looked at the courtyard and Ralph Knight nodded in approval:

"This courtyard is elegant! Not too big, it seems the original owner was a man of letters, very nice..."

"But this tree..." Sean hesitated, "And besides, it’s not close to the Imperial Palace..."

"What’s the fear, isn’t there a subway, a taxi!" Grandfather said, "Sean, let’s buy this one. The other one is too big, and it’s not comfortable to live in!

Besides, didn’t you just say that it was built by the Qing Royal family? It’s not good for our Knight family to live there!"

Well, Old Master could really talk. Sean didn’t have much to argue and settled on the decision.

Though the agent was a bit regretful they didn’t buy the larger one because the commission would have been higher!

But having Sean buy this one was also very good. This one was much smaller than the other one, but because of the cultural heritage and fame, it would still cost almost 400 million!

As Sean was asking the agent some questions, the agent received a phone call.

Sean could tell that the other person on the line was asking when the agent would be back, saying there were people who wanted to see this Quadrangle Courtyard.

This made Sean feel that this courtyard might be more popular.

Alright, after the agent hung up the phone, Sean said to the agent:

"We’ll take this courtyard. What’s the procedure?"

This was the first time the agent had seen someone buy a Quadrangle Courtyard so smoothly. The excitement felt like a pie had fallen from the sky!

Sean could understand his feelings; a nearly 400 million transaction could make him a wealthy man just from the commission.

The procedures were completed quickly. After that, Old Master Ralph Knight, and Mark Knight’s couple went into the Quadrangle Courtyard.

"It looks clean, but we still need to clean it up and set off some fireworks..."

"Setting off fireworks is not allowed." Sean reminded him.

Old Master regretfully said:

"What kind of rule is that! So many things left by our ancestors are gone...look how nice the weather is, setting off a couple of fireworks wouldn’t affect anything, right?"

Despite complaining like this, he could only listen to Sean Knight and use electric firecrackers instead.

For Ralph Knight, Mark and his wife, as well as the large courtyard they had suddenlyacquired in the capital city, they were still somewhat uneasy, but they quickly adjusted. After inspecting it, they immediately started cleaning up.

Now that they had bought the courtyard, there was flat ground right outside. Old Master was delighted.

For the next few days, they wandered all over the capital city, taking in a different sight every day or two, enjoying the hustle and bustle. They rested inside the courtyard when tired, just like at home.

"Now this is what traveling is all about!" Sitting on the courtyard’s recliner, the Old Master held a purple clay teapot, drinking tea while saying, "The capital city is really different... I heard it used to be guarded by the Five Elements, but I don’t know about now..."

Watching the Old Master’s satisfied expression, Sean suddenly felt that all his hard work and dangers faced for making money were truly worthwhile.

Working hard for what, if not for oneself and one’s family to live a little happier, right?

Now, everything was just fine.

Afterward, Sean accompanied his family on a half-month tour around the capital city before heading to the Big Island.

"This place isn’t good!" As soon as he set foot on the island, the Old Master became unhappy, "It’s too hot, uncomfortable. The courtyard in the Capital City is better!"

"But this whole island is ours," Sean said happily, "You can do whatever you want here-want to go fishing tonight? There’s so much to catch!"

"Really? Then let’s go!" The older the Old Master got, the more playful he became. Naturally, he was happy to hear about the chance to go fishing.

"Sean, are you serious? This whole island is ours?"

"Of course!" Sean chuckled, "But the island is too big. Some suggest that I should develop tourism here. You can see all the tourists on the island."

At this moment, Lana drove an electric vehicle over.

"Grandfather, Dad, Mom, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Lana Brown. She is the one who manages the tourism business here."

Upon hearing that she was Sean’s girlfriend, Ralph Knight and Mark Knight’s wife glanced at Sean, then looked at Lana.

Although Lana had already received Sean’s promise, she was still thrilled to hear Sean introducing her identity to his family. She shyly and happily greeted them:

"Hello, Grandfather! Uncle, Aunt! You can call me Lana."

"Good good." Ralph responded first, "We’re really lucky to have your help, Sean. Let’s get in the car and take a tour around the island-it’s such a big island!"

"Yes, Lana, thank you for your hard work." Mark and his wife also responded, realizing that in the world of young people, one should not intervene too much. Let them figure it out on their own.

Lana happily escorted Sean’s family around the island, attending to their every need. She provided cold drinks, fruit juices, tea, the right air conditioning in the car, and had already prepared clothing and accommodations.

From time to time, people reported their work progress to Lana. Ralph Knight and Mark Knight’s wife could see that Sean’s "girlfriend," Lana, was a strong woman. However, she was very humble in her attitude towards them.

So, Mark took a moment to pull Sean aside and whispered:

"This girl is pretty good. We don’t know the details of your relationship, but don’t let her down. She’s such an amazing person, and still willing to take care of our family so well...."

Sean, knowing that his family was kind-hearted and didn’t think too much, whispered back:

"I saved her life. Otherwise, she might have ended up just being a vase in someone’s home... "

Mark shook his head and didn’t say anything more. Actually, this was also something his wife had asked him to relay to Sean.

At dawn, Sean woke up Old Master Ralph Knight to catch the biggest tide by the sea.

They were staying in a closed-off area, with a private sandy beach.

As the tide receded, Old Master and Sean, wearing headlamps, carrying buckets and tongs, watched fish and crabs flip over on the sandy beach. They looked at each other. This wasn’t fishing; it was more like picking up fish!

At this rate, they would have a big bucketful in no time!

"Sean, this island, it’s not bad!" Old Master paused for a moment before laughing and telling Sean, "At least there is no shortage of seafood to eat."

Later on, Sean found that the Old Master actually enjoyed fishing with the tourists on the island more. There were more people, and it was lively. The Old Master would often ask people about their opinion on the island, and would laugh heartily when he heard compliments.

For the Old Master, happiness was that simple!

Later, Sean received a call from Elijah Hastings - trouble was on the way!
