The signing process went smoothly.
The other party was eager for money, and | was willing to pay in full upfront, so they were very grateful and
cooperative.
After securing the property rights, | went directly to the building for an on-site inspection.
The surroundings were great, with all the essential amenities and supermarkets, and the foot traffic was low. For
safety, | asked Mason to bring a few people from The Dragonshade Society to act as security.
Regular security guards might not be as professional as them.
After all, the people from The Dragonshade Society were used to causing trouble and knew exactly how to
handle people who tried to stir things up.
| toured each floor and eventually chose a spacious unit on the sixth floor with a large balcony, planning for Jane
to move in.

| called a furniture company to have them bring sready-made furniture and soft furnishings.
The reason for using ready-made items was to avoid excessive formaldehyde from new products, which could be
harmful. At least the ready-made pieces should have aired out with no other issues.
Once everything was set, | messaged Jane in the afternoon, telling her to move in the next day. She thanked me
repeatedly.
The next day, | still wasn't at ease, so | visited again to ensure she had everything she needed.
When | walked into the building's lobby, something felt off. Two blond men were standing at the front desk,
smoking. A "No Smoking" sign was posted on the wall behind them.
Who allowed them to smoke here?
Frowning, | asked, "Can't you see the 'No Smoking’ sign?"
The two men looked at each other in surprise, then sizedup and said, "Brat, mind your own business, or
you'll get a beating. Get lost!"
Why were they so rude?
| sneered. "lI want to see your manager!"
"You want to see the manager? Who do you think you are? Do you think
* Cab!?
just see him? You hade
better get lost before | get angry, or I'll
beat you up!"
They probably knew | would report them and wouldn't call the manager out, so thought momentarily before
saying, "I'm here to rent a place. | can't just stand here talking to you guys."
"Oh, you want to rent a place? See that office over there? They handle the rentals. Go there."
As | walked away, they shouted, "Brat, watch your mouth. Don't say things you shouldn't, or you won't even see
your death coming!"
| thought they were idiots. | was speechless.
These two men were just rental agents, but they behaved as though they were part of a gang.
| could hear people talking inside when | reached the office door. After knocking several times, there was no
answer.
Ultimately, | had no choice but to grab the doorknob and open the door myself.
As soon as | opened it, | almost lost it. The room was filled with smoke, and over a dozen people were inside.
About five or six of them sat around a coffee table playing cards while others were chatting around the desk.
Everyone was smoking, and the noise was unbearable. This wasn't an office. It was a den of thieves!
| was speechless. Was this the team Sophia hired for me? Did she have any ability to handle things?
Even if | had closed my eyes and
hired randomly, | wouldn't have
ended up with such a mess. She had promiseda "carefully selected" team but had delivered this bunch of
thugs.
