Why Should I Stop Being a Villain - Chapter 7: Visiting Harkins Agency

Asher got in his car and Emmy sat in the front seat to protect him in case of any danger. The car moved out of the Greville Mansion which was quite big covering what it seem half a kilometer around it. The Greville Mansion was surrounded with gardens and security everywhere and all the servants of the house had their accommodations built around the Mansion itself so they can live with their families and do their jobs at the same time.

Asher was moving towards west of Soran City, Capital of Somaria. If you looked above in the skies, there were Floating Islands in the sky of Soran near its center above a huge building in which was covered with Crystal Mirror like barriers in the shape of an oval. This building was called the World Academy, the place where Asher was looking thinking about all the chaos he was going to create.

'This time that Academy will be the place where this world will shake under my name' Asher thought while staring at one of the floating islands.

After half an hour of drive they arrived at 50 Floored Building which was called 'The Harkins Agency'. This was where all of Somaria's property related transaction and land related auctions were done.

Soran despite being the Capital City had a lot of unclaimed land in the forms of mountains. Most of the mountains were filled with beasts and were used as training grounds by the World Academy and the rest of the Elite Families of Soran to get them used to fighting in similar environments.

Usually the mountains which were empty of any beasts for hunting purposed were sold to others for their own commercial use. So once in a while some mountains were sold if the previous ownership wanted to sell them. And Asher was going out to buy one such property which would become one of the most problematic source for the Greville Family in his previous life.

Asher arrived at the Harkins Agency and got out of his car with an entourage of bodyguards behind him. Emmy had already made a reservation so Harris Harkins who was supervisor of the Soran Branch of their company was already down in the hall waiting to greet the infamous heir of Greville Family.

"Greetings, Young Master Greville !!" Harris asked with hurried but calm voice because he was aware of the 'Cold Devil' and his retaliations.

"Relax Mr. Harris, I am here to see some properties to buy can you show me what lands are available for auctions " Asher asked Harris with his same indifferent face.

Harris was obviously nervous because he couldn't read the expression of this young boy and he did not wanted to get in trouble with the Greville Family which was too great compared to their Harkins Family so he hurriedly told his secretary to arrange the best V.I.P rooms for them to chat.

" Please come this way Young Master Greville, I hope some of the property are to your likings"

Asher followed them to the 47th Floor which was reserved for VIP only and sat down on the sofas in very cozy but professional looking room. He was served some snacks and deserts but he didn't bother eating them which made the secretary a bit worried thinking it was not to his likings.

"Mr. Harris can you show me the catalogue for the upcoming auction please"

"Yes Young Master Greville, this is the list of properties which will be auctioned the coming week. If you like anyone of them just tell me, we will give it you without auctioning it." Harris clearly being an opportunist he was, wanted to build a connection with Greville rather an immediate profit.

'What a clever man' Asher smirked in his mind.

"Don't worry I wanted to participate in the auction anyways I was just seeing if there is any property which piqued my interest"

Asher wanted to grab the opportunity from his opponents' hand in front of them to relish their despair when they later find what they just lost. He clearly remembered what the system has told him about fate points and he was going to do just that.

Harris disliked how he lost an opportunity for expanding his network but he nevertheless catered to Asher in hope of making a good impression on him thinking.

'This cold devil will go big anyway so I should get some connections with him'

Asher who could see through his facade just kept his usual face and left after the chat was done.
