Chapter 484 Learning How to have fun (part 3)

“How do you not know the price of your rent… Unless!” Camilla said with her eyes wide open.

“You bought the property?!” Camilla asked in a shocked tone receiving a nod from Blake.

At first, she had thought that it was a very unique duplex, but after Blake had told her that he had done some customizations it made her realize that almost everything was customized.

For a rented duplex, permanent customizations like the full sliding glass doors were not possible because the landlord wouldn’t agree.

Also, it was unwise to spend so much on a place that you will eventually leave. So, the only option left was Blake actually buying it.

“What’s the cost?” Camilla asked as she was seriously considering doing the same.

“Of what exactly. The duplex, customization, or both?” Blake asked.

“Both.” Camilla said.

“The house was 12 million. Paint, customized windows, full glass doors, forge, and so on 7 million. Then customized furniture roughly 2 million. So the total is 21 million gold coins.” Blake said leaving Camilla awestruck.

……

“You spent the price of a decent epic tier weapon on a house, but you are a cheap stake?” Camilla said as she was trying to make it make sense.

Although she came from one of the top 3 families and was daughter to the branch leader of the city, Camilla didn’t dare to throw that kind of amount on a house.

“…” Blake would have loved to retort her claims, but even he knew that she was right.

“Why do I feel like I chose the wrong job.” Camilla said with a wry smile causing Blake to burst out in laughter.

“You know, if being an adventurer paid that much there would be literally no one in the ash corps.” Blake said.

“You have a point.” Camilla said as she began walking up the stairs close to the dinning.

“Aren’t you going to ask how I made so much money?” Blake asked in a surprised tone.

“Does it really matter?” Camilla said as she continued going up the stairs.

“What if it was gotten from an illegal source?” Blake asked as he followed behind.

“It’s nothing new to me since, everyone especially almost all noble families are into illegal activities in one form or another. So legal or not it doesn’t affect my love for you.” Camilla said without turning.

“Besides, if it is illegal, the less I know the safer I would be.” Camilla said as she entered the corridor on the top floor.

Investigations were mostly carried out by reading the mind of the suspects or using a lie detector. So if she didn’t know she would be safe.

“You know, this is one of the many reasons I love you.” Blake said with a small but loving smile.

“Are you talking about my ass that you have been staring at or me being a badass?” Camilla asked with a raised brow.

“Both.” Blake said with a sheepish smile as he was caught in the act.

He went on to show her his forge and library before finally getting to his bedroom.

“I had seen the full glass window, but I never expected the view to be this good!” Camilla said as she walked up the window.

Although she couldn’t see completely past the other duplexes opposite her, the view of the quiet street was beautiful.

“So, what do you think, is it worth 21 million gold coins?” Blake asked as he stood right beside her.

“Worth every coin.” Camilla said as she lay down on his king-size bed.

“So, what would you like to drink?” Blake asked but he soon regretted it.

“Are you sure you want to know?” Camilla said with a naughty smile that made Blake smack his forehead.

“Don’t mind me, a glass of water would be okay.” Camilla said with a triumphant smile.

After serving her the chilled glass of water, Blake went down on his knuckles and continued with his push-ups.

“Why did you even leave the life of an adventurer?” Camilla asked as she lay on the bed and watched him.

“The life of an adventurer is for those who don’t have a goal or are searching for a goal. For me I already know my goal, all I need is guidance and information, and that is what I will get from the ash corps.” Blake said.

After completing his exercise, Blake hit the shower and soon after began dressing up.

“What’s the plan for today?” Blake said as he joined her on the bed.

“I planned a get-together with all of our friends but Damon and Luciano are too busy to make it, while Castiel and Brian are currently on a mission and would be here at the end of the week.”

“As for Tessie, she should be here any time soon.” Camilla said as she looked at the clock.

“It’s sad that everyone is too busy to meet up, but I expected it.” Blake said.

“You would have been the busiest even though you are on vacation.” Camilla chuckled.

“I am not that far gone.” Blake laughed.

They chatted for a few more minutes before the doorbell rang and they went downstairs.

“Hey, Tessie!” Blake said as he opened the door.

Tessie who is 5’7 feet (1.7 meters) tall was dressed in a simple yellow dress and a sparkling sapphire that gave her oval face an irresistible glow.

Without saying a word, Tessie lunged at him and gave him a tight hug.

“I missed you!” Tessie said as she hugged the air out of Blake.

Unlike Camilla that got to see her once in a while, Tessie couldn’t see or enjoy his company.

“I… missed… you… too.” Blake said as he struggled for air causing Tessie to reduce her strength.

“That’s way better.” Blake said as he returned the embrace and kissed her hair head.
