Volume 3 Chapter 105 - I’m not going back! (1/2)

Connecting to the Lifer Family and getting advertisement in the «Anvilmar Times», these were just two important things out of all the countless things that Xu Yi had to do on his trip to Anvilmar City this time.

After talking to Hannas, Xu Yi immediately went to three other places. He met the Walmart Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Colmar Rundst, Great Magician Eisenkel and president Eren who he already had meetings set up with.

When he dragged his tired body back to Count Sean’s residence, the sky was already completely black.

Housekeeper Lahm who had been waiting for Xu Yi saw him come in and warmly went forward to welcome him.

Although Count Sean was no longer the Banta City City Lord, this residence was still retained by him and served as the temporary residence for Banta City’s people on business in Anvilmar City.

Xu Yi lived here the past few times he was in Anvilmar City and this time wasn’t an exception.

Because of Count Sean’s many urgings, Housekeeper Lahm had always been respectful when seeing Xu Yi, not daring to neglect him.

Seeing Housekeeper Lahm having a servant prepare the bath water, Xu Yi had the idea of buying a house in Anvilmar City.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce would definitely open more businesses in Anvilmar City, he would be coming to Anvilmar City more and more. It wasn’t convenient to keep living here, it was always better to own a place of his own.

Although it wasn’t easy to buy a residence in Anvilmar City, with his connection to Hannas and the fact that he was willing to spend, it wouldn’t be that difficult.

But thinking about how he spent close to five hundred thousand in just a single day, Xu Yi couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile.

In this expenditure, three hundred and fifty thousand had gone to the Lifer Family, a hundred thousand had been paid for advertisement, which were all investments that didn’t bring benefits in the short term.

Only the five thousand and seven hundred spent on Arch Magus Thorne’s notes might be used very soon.

Xu Yi looked over the notes and confirmed that the contents were the same as rumoured. It recorded some of Arch Magus Thorne’s later work, which included his research into Magic Airships.

This would be useful to Evita’s research. If it wasn’t for other magicians not paying attention to this, it was impossible for Xu Yi to buy this incomparably precious book of notes for only five thousand and seven hundred.

After organizing the content of the notes in his mind, Xu Yi closed the book. When he was planning to return to his bedroom, he suddenly noticed someone swaying as they walked up behind him.

Xu Yi took a look and that this unsteady fellow was actually Alex.

“Alex, where did you go? Why are you getting back this late?” Xu Yi looked at Alex who was clearly drunk and he could smell the scent of alcohol on him, so he couldn’t help knitting his brows.

Alex looked up and saw Xu Yi, instantly being scared. His drunkenness mostly disappeared and he forced himself to stand straight, as he said with a laugh, “This…..I went out…..to see a friend to discuss some things, that’s why I’m so late. Chairman, when did you get here?”

“Friend? Discuss some things?” Xu Yi didn’t reply to Alex’s answer. He looked at the alcohol and smeared vomit on his boy, as well as the well made golden necklace on his neck and amethyst bracelet at his wrist that were made of precious materials that were clearly not cheap. He couldn’t help revealing a cold look.

“Un…..he…..he…..they wanted to buy some of our company’s Magic Freezers, so we were discussing the price.” Alex wiped the sweat from his forehead as he replied.

“Oh? What was the final price?” Xu Yi asked.

Alex wiped his sweat away before hesitantly replying, “It’s…..it’s alright. They agreed to a price of twenty eight gold coins.”

“Oh? This isn’t bad.” Xu Yi nodded, “Although it’s a bit off of our standard pricing of thirty gold coins, if they buy enough, it can be accepted.”

“Right, right, right, they bought many units, so I gave them a few benefits.” Alex kept nodding, “Chairman, didn’t you say that I…..could act according to the situation…..and adjust the price?”

“That’s right, I said that before. It’s your right as the branch manager, so it’s not a problem.” Xu Yi nodded. After pausing, he asked, “But Alex, since I bumped into you, I want to ask you something.”

“Ah? Chairman, please ask.”

“Before I came to Anvilmar City, I talked to your uncle Heinz and discussed calling you back to Banta City……”

“Ah? How could that be! I don’t want to go back!” Before Xu Yi finished, Alex quickly waved his hand and loudly said, “I don’t want to go back to a small place like Banta City. I’m living well in Anvilmar City, is there a need to call me back?”

Xu Yi calmly watched the anxious Alex and after he stopped, he continued, “I didn’t finish yet. Although it was Heinz’s suggestion, I didn’t agree yet. I came here this time to ask your opinion since you are Heinz’s nephew. If something happens to you, Heinz will care about you, so he hopes that you can make your decision.”

“In short, I don’t want to return to Banta City. I’ve already been in Anvilmar City for two years, I’m used to living here. If you want me to return, I definitely won’t be able to adapt!” Alex said in a loud voice.

“You’re certain?” Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “Alex, you’re used to working hard all day here? Or are you used to a life of debauchery here?”

Alex was stunned. Seeing the fake smile on Xu Yi’s face, his body trembled as he lowered his head, avoiding Xu Yi’s gaze.

“Chair…..sir chairman, I…..I don’t know what you mean.”
