Chapter 10 - Chapter 9: Estate Agent

Zain left the guild and headed to where he was directed.

He kept thinking about those kids.

'I'm not ready to take the responsibility of those many kids. I gotta explore the world first.'

He realised after he passed the inn that those people woke up and left. He thought they'd keep bothering him after they woke up.

'I'm still being followed by the same person. I thought they learnt their lesson afterall. If they're still following, that means they've been ordered to do so.'

He decided to let it go and kept heading to the estate agent. He finally arrived at place.

'Wow, I wouldn't have known if Zack didn't say the building is infront of the Alchemy Shop.'

Immediately after he entered the building, a voice of a woman was heard.

"There's nothing to look and you might as well leave if you ain't buying. Thank you and bye."

Zain was surprised and amused by what was said. 'What a way to chase someone out.' he thought.

"No. I was told if I wanted to by a house, I should come to this building. Hope I'm not at the wrong place."

The woman immediately came out of the back room when she heard that.

"Glad you came to this humble abode. You can get the best house you desire with you best seller, Isolde. You can just call me ISO sir." The woman said with bright smile.

Zain thought she sounds like scammers who exaggerated simple things for a bigger price.

"Oh, you can call me Lucas by the way and you said you can get me the house I want."

"Yes, any house. The cheapest is 50 golds and the expensive one is 500 golds. What type of house do you want Lucas?"

"What about a noble house?"

Iso was surprised when Zain said that but regained compusre afterwards.

"I don't have those house but I can ask around for you or you can pick other houses."

"Nah, I want a big house. All my life I've always wanted to stay at the big mansion."

Zain in his past house lived in a big house. It's not like he wasn't satisfied, he was more than happy to live at a simple house.

Zain's life wasn't big per say. He lived a simple and boring life. He would wake up, go to work, play games, read novels & mangas and repeat the process

His love life wasn't that much. As a matter of fact, he choose to not date because everyone felt like a facade. When he didn't have anything going for him, no woman would take interest on him but the minute he wore overall uniform, most woman tend to flock or show interest on him. He dated a woman who didn't want to sleep with but only slept with him on his payday.

He realised that man was right, that love is chemical reaction that compels human to breed. He would date a woman but was always paranoid about something. He would always overthink things.

Zain always preferred to be cheated on than sleep with a woman he knows got a boyfriend. It's another matter if the woman lied and says she doesn't have a boyfriend.

Zain knew that the world was lie following the system processes. If a man doesn't provide, then he gets no woman but even when he provides, the same woman cheats with the broke guy who has nothing.

Humans are simple creatures. Tell them something and they believe it. The bible never mentioned Jesus birthday but someone said it's on the 25th of December and we all believed it. Jesus birth marked the beginning and no matter how you look at it, the 10th month of the calendar doesn't mark the beginning. That's why humans are simple, someone came and said the beginning of the year is January, we all believed Gregory.

Noone called blame Ethiopia for following solar calendar and not using a Moon.

'What was I a talking to end up thinking about the bible?' he thought.

"Oh, can you give me few days and I'll see what I can do?" Iso said to Zain.

"Okay. If you find the house I want, you can find me at May's inn or at the Adventures Guild. See ya" Zain said as he left the building.

Zain thought to himself, 'Really. I haven't even gotten that far yet.'

After Zain left the building, Iso began thinking hard about his request.

She was about to head to the back room when someone suddenly materialized in front of her.

"Tell me what he wanted," the person demanded.

Iso jumped back, startled.

"Who… who are you? What do you want?" she asked, her voice trembling.

"No question, Just Answer what I want to know." the person said in a serious voice.

"He... He just want... wanted to buy a house." Iso said trembling.

"A house? You Aren't Lying Right?"

"No I'm telling the truth." Iso said.

"Why Would He Want to Buy a House From You When You Don't Even Sell Houses?"

Iso became scared when she heard that.

"How do you know that?"

"Answer Me!"

"It's a Side Job I picked up okay"

"What Type Of House Did He Want?"

"He wanted a Mansion. A mansion as Big as a Noble House."

The person began to think. They disappeared infont of Iso.

Iso was shocked when they disappeared infont is her.

Zain kept walking as he finished listening to the conversation of Iso and the stalker.

-That was rude. Who was that person?

Zain thought that Iso was right to question who was that person. 'i think I might have an idea who it is.' thought Zain.

Zain find it weird that the day hasn't ended because a lot of things have happened in a single day and its not even afternoon.

"What a weird day. It's not even a day yet."
