Chapter 56: Showdown
In return, Gu Yi is hereby hired as a special consultant of Kirin Real Estate Consulting Limited, and in return, Gu Yi can use the company's asset in perpetuity: the property located at 117A Black Street, free of charge.
Outside the gate of the former 'Green Elf' nightclub, Maria handed the letter of appointment she had just prepared to the Ancient One.
It is also very formal, with Maria's signature and the company's seal.
Mullen originally said that the deed would be completed in three days.
Unexpectedly, the next day he brought the deed.
It can be seen that William is quite concerned about this matter even if he is in prison.
Paul and Maria knew that the Ancient One was in a hurry, so they immediately took the deed and the newly drafted letter of appointment and went to the Hilton Hotel to find the Ancient One.
But he didn't tell her the good news immediately, and pushed her into the car blindfolded, brought her here first, and then showed the letter of appointment.
Purely for dramatic effect.
However, the ancient one didn't understand what this meant at all.
"It's... Why hire me? ”
"Trust me, it's the best way to do it right now." Paul laughed, "You don't have the right to buy a house, so we can only buy the house in the name of the company and give you the freehold right to use it." ”
Maria added: "This is the most legal way we can think of, in the future, when the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau comes to do a census, you can take out the deed and the letter of appointment, and then ask for a cigarette or something, as long as nothing illegal happens in the house, people will not embarrass you." ”
"However, your company hired me, a stateless and green card... It's also illegal, right? ”
"Not really, I assure you." Maria patted her chest, "A few days ago, the mayor of New York City also gave a speech to encourage New York businessmen to receive more... Hehe, you know. ”
Mary was referring to the black household.
Just over five years after the end of World War II, the rest of the world was shattered, a large number of black households were pouring into the country, those who had no money went to Mexico, and Europeans with some possessions came to New York by boat.
Some of them are very rich.
In a way, the Ancient One is like this.
In short, the United States has immigrated to the country, and although the government does not allow them to buy houses for the large influx of black households, it is not opposed to local businesses in New York hiring them.
Even very encouraged.
"But when you have the chance, I think you'd better get yourself a legal identity." Mary continued, "I should be able to help with that. ”
"That's too much trouble for you." Gu Yi looked at the house behind him, "I'm already grateful for helping me take this house down." ”
"Hah, where."
Mary and Paul looked at each other.
I bought it for $1 and resold it for 2 million.
Who's grateful to whom?
"By the way, why isn't Casillas at the hotel?" Paul asked.
It's been a long time since I've fooled him.
Gu Yi glanced at Paul: "It's not that I'm not there, it's that I didn't let him out, I think... It's better to let you see him less. ”
"Totally agree!" Paul clapped his hands, "Especially after he bumped into me in your room that night, it was a bit awkward to meet. ”
Mary's eyes widened!
This guy... Sure enough, it's...
Ay.
Maria quickly interrupted the topic: "Since Casillas is not coming... Let's go in and see your new home. ”
Although it interrupted the topic, it also prevented the ancient one from explaining clearly...
"Okay." Paul made a gesture of please, "Owner first, please." ”
"Thank you!"
The ancient one walked towards the house first, gently pushed the door open, and then, stunned.
Mary was also taken aback.
The day before yesterday, it was still the lair of the gangsters, a place where they sang and drank every night, and they thought they would see the stage, the steel pipes, and the broken wine bottles on the ground.
Unexpectedly.
The inside was clean and spotless.
On the terrace behind the main entrance, there is also a large flower basket.
"Pretty thoughtful." Mary whispered to Paul.
"That is, of course, to serve customers thoughtfully."
Paul came here first after getting the keys to the house yesterday.
At that time, the house was indeed a mess.
Then, Paul took everything in the house, especially the good wine in the lounge wine cellar, and the neon sign of the 'Green Goblin' outside the door, all into the other dimension.
I also invited three black Mexican-American households to clean the house and brought a pot of flowers.
Clean, decent.
The most important thing is that there is not the slightest smell of blood in the house.
Again, that's the same sentence.
Constantly improve something.
"Thank you so much." The ancient one turned and took Paul's hand.
"Wherever we are, it's what we should do." Paul raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, do you need me to find a decoration company to change the structure of this place?" ”
The layout of the New York Sanctuary was not what it is today.
"Oh, no, this aspect... I cook it carefully. "What the Ancient One means is that she is not going to use a decoration company, but a spell.
Almost.
Maria handed the deed and keys to the Ancient One: "Why don't Paul and I go back, and you can appreciate your new home?" ”
After thinking for a while, Gu Yi smiled slightly: "If I can, I want to leave Mr. Paul alone... Have a cup of tea. ”
Hmph, here it is.
Paul sighed inwardly.
He promised the Ancient One that he would explain everything to the Ancient One when he returned to the Overworld.
Mary was completely offended.
“... I don't think there's even a bed here. ”
“...”X2
"You go back first." Paul took Mary's shoulders and turned her one hundred and eighty degrees, "I'll explain it to you when I get back." ”
"Don't explain, I don't want to hear it." Mary shook her head and left.
And then...
Paul turned to the Ancient One: "Is there really tea?" ”
“... No. ”
"I'm glad I have."
Paul conjured a whole set of tea sets from another dimension, and also conjured a pot of water, and the ancient one drove a spell to heat the water.
Steaming.
The two of them sat on the stairs and clinked glasses with their teacups.
"Let's talk about it, then." Gu Yi smiled slightly, "Why are you so clear about my affairs, and even know about the Time Gem." ”
"Hmm..."
Paul scratched his head and organized the language.
"Before I say that, you have to promise me two things."
"Say."
"First, I will only tell you one secret, you don't want to tell anyone else, of course, I will not tell anyone your secret."
"No problem."
"Second, don't look at me with that heavenly eye in the future, whether it's you or your apprentice, it's not that I have to hide something from you, but... At certain times, the thought of having a pair of eyes staring at me... will affect the play. ”
After a long groan, the ancient one smiled.
"Yes, you won't threaten the world anyway, I'll seal the eye of heaven when I go back, and I won't let anyone else use it except me."
The Ancient One had actually always had this idea, after all, not all the mages were doing the right thing there.
Especially Casillas.
"Okay, I'll talk about it then."
Paul posed: "Actually... My soul comes from another world. ”
