A few hours after leaving their apartnt, Yuan and the others arrived at the gates of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, and to their surprise, Wang Ming and the others were all waiting outside with their luggage.
“Why are you all waiting out here?” Yuan asked them.
“We couldn’t get inside because we don’t have any identification even though we were here yesterday…” Wang Ming sighed.
“Oh, right… Chairman Lee only gave one identification for now… I really hope you guys didn’t stay here overnight.”
“No, we only got here about an hour ago, so it wasn’t that bad.”
Yuan nodded, and he went to the guards to show them his identification.
“Welco to the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Young Master Yuan.” The guards greeted him.
“Where can I get identifications for my companions so they can enter the place without ?” Yuan asked them.
“The Manager will handle all of that once she visits you later today,” said the guards.
“I understand.”
Once the gates were opened, Yuan and the others made their way to their new ho in the middle of the mountain.
“Yuan, you can go ahead and pick your room first. We’ll decide afterward.” Wang Ming said to him.
“Well, they’re all pretty much the sa, so it doesn’t really matter to .”
“How about this one? It’s the largest room in this building, and it’s also the closest to the staircase.” Shi Lang suggested.
“Sure.”
“What about you two?” Yuan asked ixiu and Chu Liuxiang.
“I will live in the room next to yours,” ixiu said.
“Can I live in the sa room as you, Brother Yuan?” Chu Liuxiang asked.
“I don’t really mind, but are you sure? Don’t you want your own room?”
“I already have my own room at the Chu Family’s living quarters. I want to spend as much ti as I can with you while I am here,” she said.
“If that’s what you want.” Yuan nodded. He really didn’t mind sharing the room with Chu Liuxiang, as there was more than enough space for two— even three people.
Once Yuan picked his room, the others also went to find their own rooms.
Soti later, after everyone unpacked their luggage, Li Jinxi approached Yuan with her training sword in her grasp.
“Yuan, let’s spar.”
“Right now…?”
“Yes.” She nodded with a serious face.
She has been waiting for this opportunity ever since she left the Jaded Garden, and not being able to train at her previous hotel only made her desire to train stronger.
“I’m expecting the Manager of the mountain to visit us today, so let’s do it tomorrow.”
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
“Okay.” Li Jinxi then walked away and went to look for soone else to spar with.
Yuan returned to his room and sat on the large bed.
“I’m not used to living in such a large room.” He sighed out loud.
Chu Liuxiang, who was organizing her clothes, said, “Aren’t you glad I’m living in here with you then? It’ll feel less spacious, after all.”
Yuan nodded with a slight smile on his face.
He then asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to visit your family? You should at least let them know that you’re back.”
“It’s fine. Sebastian is already there right now. He’ll let them know,” she said.
“Sebastian? I’ve been wondering why he suddenly disappeared after unloading our luggage.”
“Brother Yuan… You should prepare yourself.” Chu Liuxiang suddenly said.
“Huh? Prepare myself for what?” Yuan raised his eyebrow.
“My family will definitely approach you in the near future, especially now that you’re living in the Dragon Spiral Mountain. I just want you to prepare yourself because they can be a little overbearing at tis.”
“I-I will keep that in mind.” Yuan nodded.
Soti later, ixiu knocked on his door and said, “Yuan! Soone calling herself ‘Manager’ is here to see you!”
“Thank you! I’m coming!”
Yuan left his room shortly after and followed ixiu outside, where a beautiful young woman in a business suit was waiting. She had long red hair that was tied into a ponytail, and she held a serious expression on her face that almost looked natural.
“Are you Yuan?” She asked him when he arrived.
“Yes, I am.”
“Hmmm…”
The Manager then took a mont to stare at Yuan’s face, as he wasn’t wearing his mask at this mont.
After a mont of silence, she spoke, “I’m the Manager of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, and I’m here to collect your paynt. This is my identification. Will you be doing monthly installnts or full paynt? If you’re doing monthly installnts, we’ll need 500 million as a downpaynt.”
“I will do the full paynt,” Yuan said.
“Alright. Let’s sit down before we proceed.”
Yuan then led her to the living room.
Once they were seated, the Manager retrieved a laptop and prepared the paynt process.
“Please read these docunts and sign them while I set up the paynt,” she said to him.
A few minutes later, Yuan signed the docunts after reading them with ixiu.
“Here’s the bank information. Please send the money here.” The Manager then showed them the information on her laptop.
ixiu then used her phone to transfer the money.
A few minutes later, once she confird the paynt, the Manager said to them, “Congratulations. You’re now officially part of the Dragon Spiral Mountain. You don’t have to pay for the yearly property tax until you have lived here for a whole year. Do you have any questions?”
“How do I get identifications for my friends living here with ?”
“How many people are currently living here with you?”
“Nine people so far.”
The Manager then retrieved 9 badges from her laptop carrying pack and placed them on the table.
“They will be able to enter the mountain as long as they have these badges. Please don’t lose them, or you’ll have to pay a hefty fine of 1 billion dollars for each one you lose. And if you’re caught selling them, you’ll be removed from the mountain.”
“I understand. Thank you.” Yuan said as he accepted the badges.
“Any more questions for before I leave?”
