I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259
“Please wait, Mr. Lidell, let me check.” Lucille immediately ran to the front desk and started asking the others.
David brought the team over.
“Mr. Lidell, fifteen rooms have already been taken on that floor. I’m not sure if I can ask them all to move, but perhaps you would like the floor above?” Lucille asked carefully..
This was a large transaction. She was afraid that David would move to another hotel if he did not like her suggestion.
She would be screwed in that case, since David was spending more than five million a night per room. David was a huge customer.
“Sure,” David gave it some thought and replied.
With that, he directly booked the whole floor for half a month and went upstairs under the ravenous gazes of the pretty servers.
After returning to his room, David realized that he had earned another lavish point, arriving at 326 points.
Now that his employees were here, he could start spending money freely. Unlike Pearl, he did not investigate before he spent money. He just bought whatever he wanted.
Honestly, he did not even want to invest in any companies. Instead, his plan was to just buy houses directly. After all, Capital City real estate was very expensive, costing tens or hundreds of billions for a house but only creating a small ripple in his lavish points.
Considering this was a grand luxury suite, all three meals were sent to the rooms for free. The food was good that David did not need to bring his employees out for food.
After resting for two hours, David started gathering the team and everyone started to work. H e handed a few real estate agents to the team and told them to contact those people themselves.
All they had to do was inform him to pay once the contract had been confirmed. This way, his workload lightened greatly, and he no longer had to look for these agents himself.
Once everyone had been assigned, David received an unknown call.
“Hello? Is this Mr. David Lidell?” A man asked.
“I am, and you are?” David replied and asked.
“I’m planning to sell a house, but I don’t want to employ an agent. I’d like to talk to you in person about the prices as real estate agents are just too unreliable and expensive,” The man replied.
“What house are you selling? And for how much?” David asked again.
He was not too wary about this, since he had been buying quite a few houses these days and had left his number with a few real estate agents. Due to this, there was nothing strange with a seller getting hold of his number.
As long as the house was not too cheap, he would consider it.
“It’s a courtyard house my ancestors left for me. They used to be court officials and aristocrats back in the day, so the furniture and structures are made with high-grade ebony. Nothing’s molded despite how many years it’s been, so I’m definitely selling it at a high price. Ordinary people can’t afford a house like this, and I only contacted you because I heard that you’ve been spending a lot of money on buying courtyard houses lately.”
“Sure. I’m free now, could you show me the house?” David thought about it and replied.
If the man spoke the truth, then this was a house worth seeing. He had bought a house that used to belong to some prince two days ago, and if this house was built in a good location, it should sell for at least a billion dollars.
David was currently buying property like mad. Other than earning lavish points and enhancing his strength, David was also making preparations for the day the system might disappear.
By then, he would still have these houses and enough money to sustain a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of his years.
“Yes, yes, of course!” The other party quickly agreed.
Both parties agreed on a place to meet.
When David arrived, he saw a nicely dressed man in his thirties waiting for him.
When he saw the other, David’s acute mind power immediately caught onto the other party’s shifty gaze and nervousness.
“Huh?
‘Something’s wrong with him.’
David could tell that this person did not call him out to sell a house but for some other reason. Still, David did not understand what this guy wanted to do.
Did he want to kidnap David and make the latter pay him because of how generously David had been spending money recently?
David did not expose the other as he was curious about what he wanted to do.
David was brave and skillful now, and he could easily fight off a hundred gangsters without breaking a sweat.
After meeting, the other party did not even tell David his name before bringing David to the
house. The other man promised that it would be a short distance and that there was no need to
drive.
Something was evidently wrong.
As David expected, the man brought him to a deserted place and stopped by a narrow alleyway. David wondered if this was where they would threaten him to give them his money. David started to sense his surroundings.
‘Huh?
There’s no one else?
‘How can that be?’
David had expected at least a few dozen men, instead of just one.
No matter how David scrutinized the other, the man facing away from him did not look like a powerful master.
“Enough. Just tell me what’s going on. I don’t have time to waste with you here. Explain yourself before I make you!” David said, standing behind the other.
The other did not even respond, opting to run forward and disappear at the corner of the building
David chuckled. He was faster than the global running champion.
Just as he was about to run, he felt a gust of cold wind enter his mind as his hairs stood on end.
David knew this feeling. He had felt it once when he saved Celia from the lorry all those years ago. This was a feeling that only came about when he was about to die.
His mind power was considerably weaker back then, so this feeling was not too strong, but now that his mind power had grown a good few times more powerful than it used to be, this fust of cold wind chilled him to his bones.
If he hesitated for a second more, David would have died.
Without time for any thought, David leaped and jumped two to three meters to the side.
“Bang!”
After he jumped, before he landed, a huge bang sounded beside his ear. The ground where he stood a moment ago was now left with a hole around the size of a fist.
David turned to look at the situation behind him and narrowed his eyes.
A sniper rifle!
One that was extremely powerful, too!
If its bullet was able to leave a fist-sized hole in a ten-centimeter-thick concrete floor, it would be able to blow half a body to pieces if it hit someone.
As a master on the Dragon Rank, David began sweating cold sweat.
This was not for ransom, this was murder!
After landing, David did not waste a second before jumping in another direction.
As he expected, there was another crater where he stood.
After landing this time, David did not loiter either and started dashing toward the person shooting at him.
With David’s current strength, it was impossible to shoot him with a bullet when he was running. The perpetrator’s only chance was to land a shot while he was standing still.
When David ran at full speed, ordinary people would see was a shadow from the corner of their eyes.
