Chapter 3: I'm the Owner of This Place
"He is Brock!"
"What?"
Hearing this name, Benedict trembled.
Kristin burst into tears, "Great, Brock is still alive.Dad, Brock is still alive!"
Benedict was also slightly delighted, but then a gloomy expression appeared on his face, "Brock has been unyielding since he was young.Now that he came back with such power, I'm afraid JL City will undergo a great change."
Brock came out of the hospital and directly took a taxi to the Padilla’s.
Eight years had passed.
The originally luxurious villa was now surrounded by weeds.
Obviously, no one had visited this place in the past eight years.
And no one had come to mow the grass.
It looked very deserted.
Seeing this familiar scene, Brock clenched his hands tightly.
‘‘Four Great Families, it's payback time.I will make you suffer for what you have done to my family!’’ When Brock arrived at the main door, he surprisingly found that the door was open.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Had someone else paid a visit here as well? Thinking of this, he wanted to see who dared I to visit the Padilla's and resist the pressure of the Four Great Families.
As soon as he got to the door, he heard the conversation coming from inside.
"Mr.Cordell, you know how big this villa is.I Besides, all the buildings are intact.If you buy it, it would be a great deal."
"I naturally know that.I came here often back then.But I didn't expect that eight years later, I would still come back here."
The one who spoke was a man in his forties, but Brock felt somewhat familiar with his voice.
"That's right.Let me put it on the table.The villa is worth a billion.If you really want it, I'll give you a discount.You only need to pay 500 million." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Richmond, you have asked too much.If you really want to sell this place, I will pay at most 50 million."
Cordell chuckled, but Brock was startled at hearing Richmond's name.
Richmond was his uncle! He wanted to sell the place? Brock's expression became cold, and bloodlust was revealed in his eyes.
Richmond looked slightly embarrassed.
He tried to bargain again, "Mr.Cordell, this ...isn't appropriate.No matter what, this is the Padilla’s villa."
"It was more than one billion back then.Now you only offer fifty million.This..."
"Cut the crap.I offered you this price because this used to be the Padilla’s villa."
"If it was not, let alone 50 million, I wouldn't even pay ten million."
"That's my final offer.If you are willing to sell it, we'll sign a contract.If you don't, then find another buyer.Don't waste my time." Richmond gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
"Alright!"
"Deal.We are friends and that's what friends do."
"You make the right choice." Cordell was obviously in a good mood.
"But I need to make myself clear. I want the property certificate of this villa."
"Don't worry, Mr.Cordell.I've already had my people on it."
"Back then, the Padillas were all dead, including my only sister.My only nephew has been missing for eight years."
He probably died long ago.Logically speaking, this property can only be transferred to me.Even if my nephew is alive, it won't have anything to do with him when he comes back.
"That's good.’' Cordell joyfully examined the Padilla's villa.
Although it hadn't been cleaned for eight years and looked deserted, it was still unable to conceal its luxury back then.
No matter what, back then, the market value of this villa was the highest in JL City.
Cordell wouldn't be wrong to buy it at 50 million.
"Mathew, I didn't expect you to end in this way.You've been dead for years and now your villa falls into my hands."
"Don't worry.I will transform the bedroom you used to live in into a bathroom for guests.Even if you died, I will let you suffer forever!"
"Didn't you look down on me back then? Let me tell you who the winner is!"
Cordell was one of Mathew's subordinates back then.
He made all kinds of attempts to obtain Mathew’'s appreciation so as to get some benefits.
But Cordell didn't get anything from Mathew.
When the incident happened to the Padillas, Cordell immediately turned to the Lowes.
Over the years, he had made some achievements through cunning flattery.
Of course, that's because he got support from the Lowes.
With a loud explosion, the door of the villa was kicked open.
Cordell and Richmond were shocked.
When they heard this and saw Brock at the door, they frowned slightly.
This person looked familiar, but they couldn't remember who he was.
After all, eight years had passed.
Back then, Brock was only a little kid.
But now, not only did he grow up, but his temperament was completely different.
Even the person closest to him couldn't recognize him.
So, it was normal.
"Brat, who the hell are you? Get lost!"
Cordell angrily scolded, and even waved his hand in disgust.
He acted as if he was driving away flies, and his face was full of disdain and ridicule.
"This place is not for losers like you."
Brock's voice was heavy with coldness.
On hearing this, Cordell revealed an angry expression.
"Damn it.You're courting death.I've already bought this place, so it naturally belongs to me."
"Scram.Otherwise, I'll reach you a lesson.’’
As Cordell spoke, the bodyguards behind Cordell cast a hostile gaze at Brock.
"No one has the right to lay a single finger on my family's house, including you!"
Brock meant Richmond.
"Your family's house?"
"What do you mean?"
When Cordell and Richmond heard this, their brows were furrowed slightly.
They couldn't help but be shocked and an unbelievable thought arose in their mind.
Was he the living son of the Padilla family? Just as they thought of this, Brock said coldly, "I am the true owner of this place!"
"What? You're Brock?"
Richmond looked at Brock in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Cordell was the same.
He frowned and asked tentatively.
"Are you really Brock, the orphan of the Padilla family?"
