Chapter 98: 98

Chapter 98: This Guy has OCD!

“Sir, that’s the Frank family’s car…”Löw, the butler, explained to Locke.

Since Locke was completely clueless about the Frank family, he did not bother asking any more questions.

Almost an hour later, the huge convoy arrived at a luxurious manor.

As soon as they entered the gate, two rows of servants over 50 were already standing neatly and bowing in unison.

They seemed to be waiting for Locke’s arrival.

The manor could only be described as otherworldly extravagant. Not only was it gorgeous and tidy, it was also decorated with all sorts of artistic plants and flower beds.

The gold-inlaid decorations were even more eye-catching. There were at least dozens of them, and they were all in different shapes, and they expanded as far as the eye could see.

More importantly, they seemed to be arranged very neatly.

The tidiness did not apply only to the decorations, however, as the attentive Locke had discovered that the entire manor was very neat!

“This family is truly rich…”

After entering the manor and spending several minutes making seven or eight turns, the convoy finally arrived at the front gate to the main residence.

After parking the car, Löw quickly went to Locke’s door in a professional manner to serve him.

“Watch your head…”

While holding the jar containing the Heart-saving Grass, Locke noticed that a young man was smiling at him in front of the door to the six-story building in front of him.

The young man had a head of black hair that was neatly combed.

His appearance was exquisite, and his figure was well-proportioned. His donned a full body of black, and even the fan in his hand was black.

He looked like a very fussy individual.

With a smile on his face, he took a few steps forward and said, “Mr. Locke, your presence has graced the Estelle family!”

Of course, Locke did take the polite words to heart. He was already extremely hungry,

“Didn’t you say that there was a feast? Do you know how much of my time you’ve wasted?”

Locke had a feeling that the other party was deliberately bringing him to experience the extravagance of this place. Naturally, he would not fall for such a trick.

“Hahaha! Mr. Locke is really direct. As expected of a powerhouse! Quickly, Please!” The young man clothed in black hurriedly made a hand salute and very politely made a path for Locke.

Even after stepping on the high-end carpet and entering the main residence, Locke was still blown away by the tidiness and extravagance of the decorations. There was no sense of disorder at all.

Soon, under the lead of the Butler, Löw, Locke finally arrived at the dining hall.

The moment he sat down, two servants immediately arranged neat and exquisite cutlery for Locke. They were all made of silver.

While pouring red wine for him, Butler Löw stated, “Mr. Locke, please be patient. I guarantee that you will be able to taste the most advanced cuisine in the holy city in five minutes…”

At this time, the young man sitting opposite of Locke chimed in, “Please allow me to introduce myself… I am the current head of the Estelle family, Adelaide Estelle!”

“Of course, since we’re friends, you can call me Adelaide!”

Locke took a sip of red wine and asked, “I don’t think we’re friends yet, right?”

“Hahaha! I really admire Mr. Locke’s personality! You’re right. Friends should at least eat and drink together!” After saying that, he raised his glass, toasted Locke, and took a sip.

Locke was not a person who did not know basic manners. He raised his glass and took a sip in response.

“Does Mr. Locke have a friend or family member who is sick?” Adelaide looked at the Heart-saving Grass on the table and asked.

“Just tell me what you want!” Locke did not answer the question. Instead, he wanted to know why Adelaide invited him here.

Adelaide waved his exquisite fan. “No need to rush. Let’s talk while we eat. You must be famished…”

Then, Adelaide looked up at the diamond clock on the wall of the dining room. He seemed to care about the time very much.

Löw noticed his master’s gaze and immediately turned to a servant. “1 minute and 48 seconds left. Go and check the dishes…”

Once there was only a minute and 15 seconds left, a group of servants carrying silver plates entered the dining room.

Löw, the butler, had a silver ruler in his hand. After measuring the dishes quickly, he ordered the servants carrying different dishes to put them away neatly.

Locke could see clearly that the distance between each plate was very uniform. It was around 5 centimeters.

There were even five servants on both sides of the table, and they stood in a very particular position, completely aligned with the servants on the opposite side of the table.

Seeing that everything was ready, Adelaide took a deep breath, as if he was greatly satisfied!

‘What’s wrong with this person? Does he have OCD?’ Locke thought to himself.

Since the moment he entered the manor, Locke discovered that many things were neat and spotless.

Adelaide seemed to have noticed Locke’s thoughts and smiled. “Sorry for the display! Please don’t mind my little hobby, Mr. Locke! Of course, I won’t be so particular when eating, just make yourself at home…”

Since the master of the manor had said so, Locke naturally did not stand on ceremony.

The dishes in front of him were very scrumptious. They were delicacies made from all kinds of precious Daemon meat.

They belonged to Daemons that traversed the ground, soared in the sky, and wandered in the water.

After taking a whiff of the alluring aroma, Locke began to devour the food.

“MMM! The taste is really good!”

It seemed that Butler Löw was not bragging. Locke’s appetite was greatly stimulated. The servant beside him also helped to bring the food that Locke could not reach.

“Sir, my master firmly believes that the cooked food must be eaten at close to five minutes. This is the time that it’ll be the most delicious…” Löw filled Locke’s glass again.

Locke, who was still chewing on the beef, mumbled, “Mmm… MMM! Good habit! The taste is indeed very good…”

Seeing that Locke was so satisfied with his food, Adelaide immediately praised the head chef beside him.

“Thank you, Mr. Locke! Thank you, Master!” The head chef’s face was full of pride.

Seeing that Locke was almost done eating, Adelaide gave Löw a glance. The latter immediately placed a cheque beside Locke’s hand.

Locke glanced at it and after counting the string of zeros at the back. It was indeed one billion!

However, this did not surprise Locke.

After all, he was also someone who had seen a lot of money. Moreover, he was also a person with a net worth of four billion!

Seeing that there was no change in Locke’s expression, Adelaide praised this person’s steadiness in his heart. At the same time, he chastised himself for his crude act.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t lay a hand on this money!” Locke wiped his hands and touched his bulging belly.

Hearing this, Adelaide put away his fan and said, “I hope to replace the White family as the Federal Academy’s benefactor. Please help me gain the approval of the principal, Mr. Locke!”

Noticing that Locke was a straightforward person, Adelaide also chose to communicate with him in this way.

“Then you can just say it directly. That old man loves to take advantage of others. He can’t wait for someone to continue investing!”

Locke firmly believed that that damned old man must be such a person!

After all, the principal was the type of person to use another man’s bread to feed pigeons!

Moreover, Locke could never have imagined that the reason why Adelaide invited him to dinner was to donate both him and the Federal Academy money!

It was quite a confusing proposal. After all, it was the first time he had ever encountered such a thing!
