INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything - Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224 – Finally Home
“Here we are,” the driver announced as the car rolled to a stop. The car stopped right in front of the villa. Because of its great popularity and the late timing, people were attracted to it.

Mostly women who were in their pajamas. As the women saw the new and good looking men arriving at such an odd timing they thought of some strange things.

But those thoughts were quickly washed away by a hunger as they changed their clothes to beautiful lingerie’s and sports attire that would get the two men’s attraction.

Adam and Carl stepped out, hastily straightening their clothes. Both men had anticipated something vastly different from what they now encountered. For Carl, this was his first visit to his boss’s residence, and the experience was far from what he had envisioned.

Before them stood not the grandiose mansion they had imagined but rather a well-organized community. A society composed of some of the wealthiest individuals, clustered together in an exclusive enclave with expansive estates.

As they cast a glance at the women clad in sports attire, who eyed them with an unmistakable hunger, they turned their attention back to the villa ahead.

They would have looked at the women a little longer but thought it best to brush those thoughts for the time being as they didn’t want their boss to wait for them any longer.

A flicker of disappointment crossed their faces, but they quickly brushed it off, heading towards the villa. Before they could even knock, the door swung open automatically, as if anticipating their arrival.

“Well, you guys finally made it,” William greeted them, materializing almost out of thin air to usher them inside. He took a brief look outside, confirming what he had anticipated.

Several older women were slowly making their way towards the villa, prompting him to immediately close and lock the door. He knew that if he were to let it stay open any longer something crazy might happen at such a time.

“I know you have questions, and so do I, but it’s late. Why don’t you rest tonight? We can talk in the morning when the sun’s up.”

Adam and Carl nodded in agreement as Arthur appeared to escort Adam to his temporary quarters. Carl attempted to follow, but William stopped him.

“Carl, where do you think you’re going?”

Carl hesitated, trying to explain, “Well, I thought…” Then he remembered that he hadn’t been specifically summoned like Adam; he was merely hired as security.

William sighed. “Alright, I suppose you’ve had a long day too. Get some rest tonight, and you can resume your duties tomorrow.”

“Thanks, boss,” Carl replied with a grateful smile, turning to leave, only to be halted by William once more.

“Carl.”

“Yes, boss?”

“Could you hand me that item you’re holding?”

Carl glanced down at his hands and realized he was holding a doll that belonged to his boss. He gave an embarrassed smile, handed over the doll, and mumbled an apology before quickly retreating with another version of Arthur.

No sooner had they gone than there was a persistent knock at the door. William looked towards it, feeling a headache brewing as he went to answer.

After a prolonged effort to fend off the persistent women attempting to invade his home, William finally made his way to his room and collapsed into a peaceful sleep.

Which would have been peaceful if not for the many moaning sounds that were heard by him all through the night.

The next morning, William struggled to move, but this had become a regular occurrence. With his eyes still closed, he murmured, “Clawdia, could you move? I need to get up.”

‘A few more minutes, Master,’ she purred lazily.

William considered indulging in a few more minutes of sleep himself, but he remembered he had something special planned today. He pondered how to get the large tiger off his body.

“I’ve got something for you.”

Hearing this, Clawdia’s ears perked up as she rose and began searching eagerly, ‘Where? Where is it?’

William lazily pointed to the pink doll on the floor. Clawdia picked it up, examining it with mild disappointment. ‘Master… I’m not a child.’

‘Then why do you act like one?’ William thought, exasperated.

“It has a special feature. Why don’t you try biting into it?”

Clawdia did just that, and instantly, a jolt of electricity surged through her, making her fur stand on end.

‘This is… INCREDIBLE. Thank you, Master. This toy is exactly what Clawdia was searching for.’

William smiled. “Are you satisfied now?”

‘Very satisfied. Clawdia is extremely happy.’

‘As long as you’re happy, stay away from me, and refrain from destroying my furniture again, I’ll be content. But something tells me that’s wishful thinking,’ William thought dryly before getting up to freshen himself. After changing his clothes, he went downstairs to find Adam.

Adam was nowhere to be found until William checked the balcony. There, he saw Adam meditating in a cross-legged position, with the half-legendary sword laid out before him.

“Do you like this view?” William asked casually, attempting to engage in conversation.

Adam nodded, taking a deep breath. “Yes, this is the most tranquil place I’ve found here.”

Rather than feeling proud, William asked, “Oh? Do you not like the villa?”

Adam shook his head. “It’s not that I dislike it… it’s just that my expectations were set too high.”

William nodded, beginning to grasp his meaning. “I apologize if my words were off-putting; it was just a feeling I had.”

William shook his head. “No need to apologize. It’s actually good that you’re being forthright, and you’re right about one thing.”

“I really do need to upgrade this house… or perhaps find a better one.”

“If it’s any consolation, let me say that this house is quite beautiful, and I’m sure most people would agree,” Adam said as he opened his eyes and took a slow look out at the ocean.

“That they might, but the people who truly matter won’t see it that way. After what transpired yesterday, I’m certain my name will be plastered across the front pages of most news outlets. If they see that I live in such a modest villa, they’ll criticize me even more—forget it, they’re already criticizing me.”

Though the villa was quite spacious, it was modest compared to the grand estates owned by wealthy tycoons.

Adam got up, and they walked back into the villa. William showed him around before asking, “Have you seen Carl? Do you know if he’s up yet?”

“I checked his room, but it was empty. I didn’t see him when I woke up either. He must have left early.”

William nodded but seemed lost in thought. “Yeah, that might be it.”

“Anything unusual happen on the way here?”

Adam chuckled. “Well…” He then recounted the events, leaving William to ponder their significance. Was it meant to intimidate him? To scare him into giving up the sword? Or was it simply an act of vengeance?

Whatever the intention, it didn’t make much sense to attack both of them and even hinder them at the airport.

“At least you weren’t struck by two massive lightning bolts.”

“That doesn’t sound fun.”

“Yeah… So, any questions?”

Adam stopped walking, fixed William with an intense gaze, and asked, “What is my job?”
