Guardian-In-Law

Chapter 28 A Bet

Master Quint pointed at a mansion by the shore and asked, “Is that the Horizon Mirror?”

“No. That’s the mansion of Draco Lang, the new Chief Commander of Lilyrose Strategy Department. The Horizon Mirror is on another side,” explained the guide as he pointed at the nearest building by the shore.

“That means we will be neighbors with the Chief Commander if we live here!”

Rudy’s eyes glimmered with hope upon hearing the guide.

Meanwhile, at Horizon Mirror, Kaze was bringing Darcy and his i laws around the mansion.

They had not officially moved in, but his mother-in-law was bragging to everyone about moving into the mansion soon.

“This open kitchen is really huge! And the dining area! Why don’t we move in today?” Agnes said excitedly as she touched everything she

saw.

Darcy chuckled helplessly and said, “Mom, you are rushing things. We still need to buy a lot of furniture…”

“Darcy, at least you know that you are poor and unable to afford all those expensive furniture!”

Deborah’s annoying voice came from the door.

Darcy turned to the entrance and her expression changed.

Master Quint and the rest of the extended family marched in righteously as if the place was theirs.

“Father, you guys are here! You should have called us and we would

Agnes went up to them with a flattering smile, the delight on her face was obvious.

The extended family had always looked down on her and her family, She was and now they came all the way here to visit her new home. proud for once.

Samus scoffed and said, “You really think you own this place? Why must we tell you if we are coming over?”

“Samus, watch your tone when you talk to my mother!” Darcy bellowed angrily.

“What? Was I wrong?” Samus rolled his eyes at Darcy. “Poor

bastards, you people can’t even afford furniture and you’re trying to lecture me? Look at your neighbor, that’s Chief Commander, Draco Lang. The owners of the other units are also rich and influential figures.

“Yet you three and that idiot moved into this luxurious place money. If you bump into your neighbors in the future, woul feel ashamed? This is out of your league, don’t even bother!”

Agnes, who was delighted a moment ago, lowered her head awkwardly. The happiness in her faded instantly.

Darcy was furious. She glared at Deborah but she could not come with appropriate words to retort.

Kaze was coming back from the washroom and overheard the conversation. He laughed and said, “Samus, what if I can afford the expensive furniture?”

“Hahaha!” Samus laughed hysterically. He did not bother concealing his contempt for Kaze.

“You piece of shit! Don’t tell me you are moving scraps in here as

your

said. I could spare you some money and get some second-hand furniture. It’s better than having scraps.”

Deborah echoed, “The Horizon Mirror is worth fifty million, so a set of fitting furniture must be at least ten million, or else it’s just plain embarrassing using old furniture.”

“Hahaha!”

Everyone laughed.

Kaze chuckled. “Ten million? That’s what you call class? That’s just the study desk I bought to place in Hector’s home office.”

“You’re still talking big, aren’t you?”

Samus’ expression turned grim. He then grinned strangely and said, Kaze, why don’t we have a bet? I bet you can’t afford tens of millions of furniture.”

“Sure. What are you betting?” Kaze nodded.

“If you win, I will jump into the lake and swim back!”

Samus continued with a wicked look, “If you lose, this place belongs

to us!”
