David finally decided to meet Arian.
He wanted to see what Captain Longer of the law enforcement team, who called all the shots in Amber City, wanted.
âI donât think heâs here to seek revenge.â
In the hall, Arian was standing there with a frown. It was unknown what he was thinking.
On hearing footsteps, Arian turned his head. When he saw David, he hurried over and said politely, âHello, Master David! I was disrespectful last time. Please forgive me, Master David, and donât take it to heart.â
As soon as they met, Arian was very respectful and humbled himself greatly.
âWhat are you talking about, Captain Longer? Itâs just a misunderstanding, and Iâve already forgotten all about it,â David replied with a smile.
Today, his smile was different from the one he showed at the mayorâs residence last time.
Last time, his smile sent chills down othersâ backs, but this time, it was like a spring breeze.
Davidâs objective in life was to treat people who showed him respect with even greater respect.
Since Arian lowered his stance, he would not speak harshly to him.
âMaster David, you are indeed from a big family. Your manner is not at all comparable to that of ordinary people. On the contrary, I, Arian Longer, was gauging you with my own mean measure. I was simply overthinking.â
âCaptain Longer, you think too highly of me.â
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and David went straight to the point, âMay I know why you are here today, Captain Longer?â
âMaster David, you have no idea. Ever since I had a conflict with you at the mayorâs residence that day, I couldnât sleep all night! Today, I finally mustered up the courage to apologize to you again and admit my mistake,â Arian replied with a little embarrassment on his face.
He was not used to apologizing. This was the first time he did something like this.
âCaptain Longer, I have told you Iâve already forgotten what happened last time. Thereâs no need to make a special trip to apologize to me,â David said in a daze.
He did not expect Arianâs apology either.
He thought Arian was here to start trouble again.
It seemed that this was an order from Salem.
âMaster David, aside from apologizing to you, I also need you for something.â
âWhat is it?â
âI noticed that your servants were looking for real estate everywhere. I have been the captain of the law enforcement team in Amber City for so many years. I donât have much, but I have quite a lot of real estate. Moreover, the location of all of them is very good. Since you need them, I will give you some! I will treat it as compensation to you,â Arian said.
In fact, he not only had a lot of properties, but also a lot of treasures.
However, not long ago, Empress Elora, one of the five Leila rulers, came to Amber City to collect treasures so he naturally contributed most of it.
He did not have a lot of treasures with him now, so he did not dare to give them away carelessly.
Not just from him but Empress Elora had also collected treasures from the entire Amber City and even the other seven main cities. So, the remaining treasures were less than 30% of the original.
As a result, the prices of various treasures of heaven and earth in the eight major cities skyrocketed recently.
Some had even jumped more than ten times.
Many merchants in first-tier and second-tier cities sensed business opportunities, so they bought treasures frantically and shipped them to the main cities to sell at high prices, prepared to make a fortune.
âNo way! I was buying houses for fun. I canât live in so many too, so theyâre just investments. How can I take your houses?â David rejected Arian immediately.
He was buying houses for lavish points.
If not, why would he need so many of them?
If Arian wanted to give a house to him, he would not earn any lavish points. What was the use of that?
âMaster David, please take it. If you donât, I canât rest assured,â Arian said, making it difficult for David.
After what happened last time, he had been paying attention to Davidâs every move.
After learning that his servants were looking for real estate everywhere, he thought this was Davidâs hobby. Therefore, he immediately prepared hundreds of high-quality properties with great value for David. He wanted to appeal to Davidâs fancy and use this to resolve their misunderstanding.
âCaptain Longer, if you want to help me, we can do this. Iâll pay for the properties according to the market price. What do you think?â David said suddenly, his eyes lighting up.
