Chapter 317: The Evil Mortgage

Ethan recently took a fancy to a small manor in Dongcheng District that was listed for sale.

This manor covers less than 4 acres and has only one main building, but because it is located in Maro City, its value has increased several times.

Although the area does not meet the standards proposed by Sophia, Sophia believes that the standards can be appropriately relaxed due to the location.

If Ethan buys this manor, she also agrees to complete the agreement.

Ethan doesn't care about any agreements or no agreements. He just wants to find a place for Sophia to lay eggs. As for the rest, let's talk about it later!

Since there is a suitable one, actively start to seek transactions.

In the data investigation before the transaction, Ethan found some interesting things.

This manor has a history of more than 80 years. It originally belonged to a family called Turing.

Later, this family did not know what they did and was exterminated decades ago, and the manor was confiscated by the Duke's Mansion.

And the Duke's Mansion is the most lacking in manors. After they got it, they sold the manor publicly at that time.

After several twists and turns, it finally fell into the hands of a businessman named Miloch.

And this Milochi was the employer that Ethan had applied for the position of swordsmanship instructor.

This world is so coincidental, as long as you stay in one place, you will run into old acquaintances sooner or later.

And there are even more coincidences.

Mr. Milochi's youngest daughter got married recently, and the one she married was Ethan's subordinate Papariya.

In fact, it was because of this relationship that Ethan knew that there was a manor for sale in Maro City.

According to Papariya, his father-in-law has always lived in Vilen Port, and this manor is rarely lived in.

Due to maintenance and property taxes, it is a considerable expense every year, and he doesn't want to bear it, so he simply sold it.

Ethan didn't believe this at all, but he didn't want to delve into the reason. If someone sold it, he would buy it.

It just so happened that the bounty of the Holy Light Church came down recently.

However, the amount was not as much as expected.

For a bounty of 200,000, one-tenth of the national tax must be paid first, which means 20,000 gold is gone.

Then the Holy Light Church used the same trick again. If you don’t pay, you don’t know when the money will come. Finally, another 20,000 gold was deducted.

Don’t think that being deducted 20,000 gold is unfair. This is already a great honor for the Borgia family.

If the Borgia family had not had some reputation in the imperial capital, and had produced a pope, and had some connections within the Holy Light Church, at least 150,000 gold would have been deducted.

This situation is common everywhere.

For example, if you win a 5 million lottery, do you think you can get 4 million after tax deduction?

Don’t think too much.

Because in fact, let alone 4 million, you don’t even have the possibility of winning.

After 40,000 gold was deducted from the bounty, 40% had to be divided into the Borgia family, and in the end, Ethan had less than 100,000 gold in his hands.

Originally, the Borgia family proposed that they only wanted 10%, and the rest would be given to Ethan.

But Ethan did not agree.

What a man says, it counts.

If you can change it at will for a little benefit, it seems that you have gained something, but in fact you have lost more.

And many people don't realize this.

Of course, it is unrealistic to buy a manor with 100,000 gold.

Milochi offered 310,000 gold and stated that it was a friendly price.

Ethan asked the family's financial officer for his opinion.

They also went to see the manor in person.

The final conclusion was that the manor was well-preserved, with all kinds of facilities and functions, and you could move in directly after changing some furniture.

In addition to the excellent location backed by the Seine River, the value should be around 330,000 gold.

With the other party's offer, it was indeed a friendly price.

Although the financial officer gave a positive answer, Ethan still felt it was too expensive and wanted to discuss it with Milochi.

But time waits for no one.

Although Sophia's belly is not obvious now, after buying the manor, it will take several months to decorate it and set up a magic barrier.

If you spend time negotiating with Milochi there, when Sophia's belly gets bigger, it will be meaningless to buy it again.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and agree to the price.

Originally, Ethan wanted to pay in installments with interest on his credit, but Miloch disagreed and insisted on paying in full.

This made Ethan very angry. He was ready to punish Miloch and let him think carefully about whether to agree.

But then he thought, if someone was talking to him about business seriously, he would punish them just because they couldn't reach an agreement.

Then what is the difference between him and those people who bully others?

Ethan used to hate people who bully others the most. Now, he can't give up his bottom line and live like the person he hated the most just because he changed his environment.

Ethan didn't want to become that kind of person, so he gave up

In the end, Ethan used his Bertner Manor as collateral, borrowed a sum of money from the Iris Club and the family, and got a combined loan, and finally paid the money.

As soon as he got the manor, he arranged Yekaterina to set up the barrier and arranged workers to go in for decoration.

And arranged Vanessa to supervise the work, and also issued a death order that it must be completed within two months.

After Ethan finished his preparations, he arranged for Angelina and Sophia to live together.

In fact, Ethan didn't want to arrange the two together, but he had to do it together.

Now a sage-level perverted killer suddenly appeared in Maro City, and he had things to do, so it was impossible for him to protect them all the time.

Therefore, the two of them must be arranged together no matter what, otherwise Volibear, the only one who can protect their safety, will be too busy.

But when Ethan told the two of them about this arrangement, not only Sophia was unwilling, but even Angelina was unwilling.

The two were obviously sisters, but now they have reached the point of tearing each other apart.

Ethan was caught in the middle, and neither side was a human.

Finally, Ethan got angry.

The two saw that Ethan was really angry, so they reluctantly agreed.

After all this, Ethan had to make money again.

Because the manor was bought with a loan, although only about 170,000 was loaned, but the total amount reached 260,000 after counting the interest for two years.

Every month, the principal plus interest must be repaid more than 10,000, and this was only done because the Iris Club gave him a long time limit and preferential interest rate because of his strength as a great swordsman.

Otherwise, I am afraid that it would be more, or even that no money could be loaned.

After all, even the Iris Club, the world's first financial group, would have to think carefully about borrowing more than 100,000 gold in one go.

Every time Ethan opened his eyes, he thought about the hundreds of thousands of gold he owed, and his scalp was numb.

He himself didn't know why he had to live such a hell of a life.

Every day when he was alone, he would sigh non-stop.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better.

That day, Doguli of the Borgia family came to Maro City from the imperial capital in person.

Ethan thought he was coming to take Amy away, and was about to have a good argument with him.

But in the end, the other party didn't mention Amy at all, but kept chatting about gossip, and even talked about the friendship between the two families, which made Ethan a little confused for a while.

But...
