After half an hour, Alexander knocked on Luna’s door.

“What is it?” When Luna opened the door, she was still somewhat afraid of him. She didn’t even want to look into his eyes.

Alexander said with a smile, “Let me see the sales and purchase agreement.”

“Alright,” Luna returned into her room, took out the agreement, and gave it to him. She then said, “I’ve read it through, it should be fine.”

Alexander didn’t say anything, but merely read through the terms and looked at the stamp.

After a while, he looked into her eyes and asked, “When you buy the house, have you thought of why that suburb’s location was so good but it was sold at such a low price?”

Luna shook her head. “I don’t know. Is three million very low?”

She felt that it was already very expensive! The highest amount that she had ever received as a payment for a mission in her previous life was only five million.

Not only was it extremely expensive, but she might also even lose her life.

And it was because of that accident that she entered this body.

“An accident had happened when the suburb was first built. Someone died inside the house that you bought,” Alexander gave the agreement back to Luna and pushed it into her hands, “Originally, I wasn’t that sure. But after looking at the location, I was right. Next time, when you buy a house, do your homework.”

Luna frowned and asked as she looked at Alexander, “Then how much is it usually?”

Alexander showed her eight fingers, “In this suburb, you can forget about it if you have less than eight million. That is a detached modern house with its own garden. Not to mention its geographical location, you won’t be able to buy anything with that three million of yours.”

Luna instantly smiled. “Then I’ve made a profit out of it!”

“Hm???”

“How can I not earn from this? An eight million property was sold to me with a five million discount just because someone died there?” Luna was so happy. ” Do you know any capable architectural designers? Recommend one for me, alright!”

Alexander didn’t know what to say and asked, “Aren’t you afraid?” Wouldn’t young ladies like Luna be very afraid?

Luna shrugged. “I didn’t kill them. Even if they become terrifying ghosts and want revenge, I won’t be the first one.”

Most importantly, she had seen plenty when she was on a mission.

For example, she had already seen scenes where corpses were literally littered everywhere during a mission in Forseti.

If she was afraid, then she would have been dead from shock countless times already.

“I don’t understand you,” Alexander turned and said, “Do as you please! I still have something I need to do in the afternoon. Goodbye!”

Luna nodded and said, “Goodbye!”

This time, Alexander didn’t ask her to send him off and drove away.

After putting the agreement away, she changed into a new outfit and put on some makeup. Once everything was alright, she then gave Master Gideon a call.

She was quite nervous, but when the call went through, her training as an assassin kicked in and her voice sounded quite calm. She said, “Master Gideon? I’m Luna Brooke. Are you free today? Alexander? …He’s busy today. Alright, sure! Thank you, Master Gideon. I’ll drive over right now.”

Master Gideon’s voice was still as calm on that day. There wasn’t much change.

The more he acted like that, the more Luna felt that she was being spiritually suppressed by him.

He knew what she was afraid of, but she didn’t have anything on Master Gideon that she could use against him.

When she reached where Master Gideon was, Luna looked at the pure wooden building in front of her with awe.

If she didn’t know better, she would have believed that she had been transported back in time. The architecture was quite old-fashioned.

Building such a house must have required a lot of effort… and money.

“You are here, Ms. Brooke,” A butler wearing a proper butler uniform greeted her. “Master Gideon is waiting for you inside.”

Luna responded with an okay, and then followed behind him to a tea room.

“Master Gideon,” She greeted.

Master Gideon was wearing a white robe, and his white hair had been properly combed. He looked like someone quite sacred.

He motioned her to come closer and let her sit opposite him. “Good afternoon Ms. Brooke!”

Luna nodded slightly as she looked at Master Gideon personally pour a cup of tea for her. She accepted it and thanked him.

Master Chan had also sipped a cup of tea. The fragrance and the unique voice that the old man made rang in her ears, “You hid the reason from Alexander when you came here, right?”

Luna didn’t deny it and said, “It’s indeed as you said.”

She should just be more honest in front of this old fox, since she was the one who had something to ask.

“Ms. Brooke, try this tea. I’ve asked someone to get it from the south,” Master Gideon said in a calm voice. “The water used to brew the tea was the rainwater from early summer. It had been boiled many times before being used to brew this pot of tea!”

Luna said okay and took a sip. When she drank it, she could taste the fragrance of the tea. Even someone like her who didn’t drink much tea felt that it was very nice. She said, “Your tea is naturally one of the best. I don’t know much about tea. Spending them on me is a big waste, I think.”

“You cannot say that,” Master Gideon said as he looked deeply into her. “Tasting tea is the path of this place. Everyone has their own path to walk. The reason that you came here, Ms. Brooke, is also to ask about your path, correct?”

“Of course, Master Gideon. But I haven’t studied much since I was little, so the things I say might be funny to you. But since you asked, I naturally wouldn’t hide my intention,” Luna said and stopped for a moment before continuing. “That day when you left, you said something to me. I would like to know what you would say that?”

Master Gideon laughed and said, “Did I say anything?”

Luna was slightly stunned and replied, “While you might gain something because of fate, you should still give something a thorough consideration before you act when dealing with some things. This was what you said. Have you forgotten?”

Had she thought too much? No, impossible.

If that was true, how could he know the reason for her coming to visit him?

“You meant that!” Master Gideon’s smile became even deeper. “What I meant was that Alexander is a good man. Now that you are together with him, you should do your best to keep this marriage. No matter what you do, you should consider things thoroughly. What is it? Did you misunderstand something?”

Luna’s expression froze. Did he mean Alexander?

While this explanation made sense, the uneasiness in her heart didn’t disappear because of it.

“Master Gideon, you’re not being honest with me.”

Master Gideon looked at this young woman in front of her. It seemed that she didn’t believe his explanation.

“What are you afraid of, Ms. Brooke? I am just an old man, how can I threaten you?”

The question only made Luna even more suspicious.

“Everyone has their own weaknesses. I’m just a normal woman, wanting to live a normal life. I’m afraid of anything that could ruin my normal life.”

Master Gideon put down the cup in his hand and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Brooke. I’m not interested in other people’s lives..”
