The Luxury of Discount King novel Chapter 16

Adrian even lit up a cigar and took a whiff of it. Then he said, "Young man, it's never a shame to be poor. But disguising as the rich while you are poor will be quite humiliating! I know you might just purchase one or two apartments. But if you still brag that you got 92 in total, that would be quite awkward!"

Obviously, both of them didn't believe that Conrad could afford the whole building.

"Well, what if I do?"

Conrad glanced at Adrian, an obese middle-aged man, who looked ugly with his big belly. His suit couldn't even fit his body as some of the buttons of it were off and there was even no hair left on his head. He looked awful and even a bit funny.

"If you do have 92 apartments in total, I will eat all the certificates! And what if you don't?" Adrian provoked.

"Then I will eat 92 certificates as well." Conrad felt quite interesting as he really wanted to see how this man was going to eat the certificates. So he made the bet and then threw the key of his Lamborghini to Amara, who still stood beside. He told her to bring over the box in his car.

Amara soon ran out and returned with a big heavy box.

"What are you doing?" Manager warned Conrad, "If you want to mess around, I am calling the security guard!"

Conrad placed the box on the table and opened it, where there lay a pile of red certificates. Then he said to Adrian, "Help yourself! Do you need some seasoning?"

"What?"

Adrian was stunned and took out a few from the box. He noticed they were all Property Ownership Certificates indeed. He then opened them one by one and checked them carefully. He was really surprised to find that the apartment numbers were all consecutive. And they were all the apartments of the Residence Building No.5 in this community.

"They must be fake! Manager Berry, come to check them all!"

Then, Adrian also asked someone to check the verification of those certificates.

Manager Berry was also quite confused. He then took over the certificates and checked them one by one. Though it was really hard for him to believe it, they were still indeed verified as all information about the company and numbers on certificates conformed to the database.

"How could that be possible? When was the whole building sold out?"

As the manager of the sales department, Manager Berry should be informed in advance. He immediately turned to the accounting department to confirm the information and he was told that they did receive the sum of money transferred in the morning, and the total of which was more than 100 million.
