Chapter 158: Chapter 154: This Generosity

Finn Lewis had already seen the verdant surroundings here directly from satellite images—which were on the maps on his phone. He didn’t know how Zero managed it, but the images were practically identical to real-time satellite imagery. Although East Coast International was pricier compared to other developments in Hello City, it was worth the price.
For example, the developers’ promotion of the greenery. The developers of this community had been honest about the green areas—there was no discounting whatsoever—unlike some developers whose promotional materials greatly exaggerated the actual amount of greenery present.
Hence, Finn Lewis was just verifying the location of the Phase Il development. He cut off the sales lady who was just starting to introduce Phase Il, “How many houses are there in Phase Il?”
Even though Mr. Lewis had interrupted her, the sales lady was not upset. She continued with a smile, “Phase Il is where the best of East Coast International lies, including location, greenery, architecture, etc. However, due to size constraints, it only comprises 87 detached villas and 60 semi-detached villas.
The semi-detached villas are in rows of three, making up twenty rows in total.”
“Oh, how many have been sold?” asked Finn Lewis curiously.
“Well, since we’ve just launched, not many have been sold but we have already sold 10 detached villas and 7 semi-detached ones have been reserved.” The sales lady hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth as Mr. Lewis seemed incredibly formidable.
“Okay, point out the locations of the seven reserved semi-detached villas to me,” Finn Lewis had asked her after nodding his head.
“Please wait a moment, Sir. I will fetch the materials,” answered the sales lady, nodding her head before moving towards the counter.
“So, Phoebe, what do you think? Those three young men seem to be loaded,” another sales lady jokingly asked when Phoebe returned from the counter.
“I don’t know. I came to get the materials. But they must be loaded. I think they want to buy a semi-detached villa, they asked me to point out the locations of the villas that had been sold, they probably want to make a selection”, Phoebe shook her head in response.
“Really! Phoebe you’re about to hit the jackpot with this. Even if it’s a semi-detached villa, the commission from selling one is tens of thousands”, the sales ladies nearby said enviously. Although they had also sold houses before, they couldn’t help but be envious when they saw someone else making a sale.
“I hope it works out,” Phoebe laughed, feeling somewhat hopeful herself.
She quickly returned, “Mr. Lewis, the few villas that have been sold out are these ones,” Phoebe pointed out the sales of the 7 semi-detached villas to Finn Lewis. The semi-detached villas were arranged in three rows with two columns, for a total of ten columns. The six villas in the two southernmost columns were already sold out—since it had the best view with no obstructions, naturally, it was the first to be snapped up. The easternmost villa in the second column was also taken.
“Alright, then. Other than the two remaining in this column, I’ll take the rest,” Finn Lewis pointed out to the column where one of the three houses had been sold.
Finn Lewis’s words were soft. After hearing them, Phoebe was taken aback and asked in bewilderment: “Excuse me, sir, what did you say? I didn’t quite catch that.’
“I said apart from the two remaining in this row, I’ll buy all the remaining houses in the whole of Phase Il, including all the remaining detached villas,” Finn Lewis clarified.
Finn’s words silenced the entire sales hall. There were a number of people near the sand table who were looking at houses. Upon hearing Finn’s words they all looked his way. Seeing that he was a man in his twenties, a man in his thirties couldn’t help but retort: “Who are you trying to show off to? Is this the place for you to show off? Buying up everything, do you even know how much all these houses add up to?”
The others remained silent, their expressions saying it all—they obviously thought Finn was posturing. Even if they did have the money, why would they need so many houses? It wasn’t like Hello City was the capital or Shining Pearl where property prices could skyrocket.
“Are you buying them?” Finn glanced at him sideways and asked.
“What’s it to you if I buy or not?” the man glared at Finn.
“Then what’s it of yours if I buy or not?” Finn raised an eyebrow and turned back to Phoebe, “Help me calculate, how many houses are left here. I’ll buy all of them, pay the full amount, and how much of a discount can you offer me?”
“Er…sir…you mean to say…all of them?” stammered Phoebe.
“Yes, all of them.”
“Have you gone mad?!” Sophie Lee beside him couldn’t help but pull at him, lowering her voice to ask. She too was frightened by Finn’s words—buy them all?! There were over 100 houses here, including both detached and semi-detacned villas! NO matter now ncn you are, tms Isn’t now money snould be spent, right?!
“Sis, I know what I’m doing,” said Finn with a smile before turning back to Phoebe. “You’d better hurry. If you can’t finish in time, your commission might be lost.”
Upon hearing Finn’s words, Phoebe recovered herself quickly and bowed to
Finn, “Please wait a moment, sir. I will get the manager.”
“Let’s sit over there to wait,” Finn pointed at a nearby sofa. Realising that Finn Lewis was serious, the man nearby didn’t dare to interject anymore. Even though he didn’t understand how much it would cost to buy all the houses here, he knew the man in front of him was not someone he could afford to provoke. As for whether the latter was pretending or not, the man decided to stay and find out.
Fishy Wells was also speechless, his boss was really quite something—sometimes it made one laugh and cry to see him. These houses, to real rich people, were basically useless as excess. They could neither eat nor drink them. Yet, Fishy Wells also knew that Finn Lewis, even though he seemed to squander money sometimes, would not do it without a reason.
Buying so many houses was probably because he wanted to prepare for his relatives. Fishy Wells made this inference himself. But even with a house per family, they didn’t need this many. But Fishy Wells didn’t expect that Finn
Lewis had other ideas in mind. Although the long-term mission assigned by Zero gave Finn a bit of a headache, since he had accepted it, he was going to give it a shot.
Furthermore, even if he couldn’t complete it now, it didn’t mean he could not do it in the future. So, Finn believed that a company would be set up in Hello City in the future. And for these houses, Finn did have some other ideas in mind..
