and two attribute points. After hesitating for a moment, Keith added the attribute points
to his stamina. His attributes were now as follows.
Power fourteen. Dexterity twenty. Stamina thirteen.
Charm three. Wish value seven of ten. Although he'd successfully defeated the black
snake and his gang, Keith could clearly feel that he was a little tired.
His dexterity was high, and his power was too. However, in order to fully utilize these two
attributes, he needed more stamina to support him. Keith knew that even the strongest
man could be outnumbered.
If his stamina wasn't high enough and he had too many opponents, things could get
dangerous. The optimal logic skill allowed him to predict these kinds of things. Keith had
humiliated the Carrington family.
Although Magnus was playing ball now, the fact that he'd hired a group of gangsters to
avenge his son proved that he was a man who held a grudge. Perhaps one day he would
seek revenge again, and the next time might not be so simple. Although Keith wasn't
afraid, he knew he had to be prepared.
He needed to improve his stamina. First of all, he wanted to prevent his opponents from
using a large number of people to exhaust him until they could finally kill him. A warm
current surged through his body, and Keith could feel that his aura had grown stronger.
He smiled and closed his eyes to sleep. The next morning, Keith left the hospital early
with his bag of money. He split up the three million cash and deposited it into different
bank accounts.
By the time he'd finished, it was already afternoon. He looked at the nearly four million
dollars in his bank account and a slow smile spread over his face. He was rich! Keith
wandered through the park for a while and found some animals to help out.
He obtained two wish values and ability points, increasing his total wish value to nine of
ten and his stamina to fifteen points. It was almost too easy. Keith had been staying in
the police barracks to make it easier for him to get to work, but now that he had money,
he could start to consider a new living arrangement.
Of course, he didn't plan to buy a house just yet. Although four million dollars could buy
a nice house in Summerfield, he didn't have any other savings, and he'd only just gotten
this money. He didn't want to blow it all right away.
Also, it would be difficult to explain to his parents how he'd managed to get enough
money to buy a house, so he decided it'd be better to rent a place first. Once he had a
stable income, he would buy a place of his own. The next morning, he made his way to the real estate office and politely asked the woman at the counter, excuse me miss, I'd
like to rent a property.
Can you show me some of your properties? This was a high-end real estate agency, and
there weren't many customers. The woman at the front desk, who was playing with her
phone, looked up at him. She saw that Keith was wearing unbranded clothes and didn't
look remotely rich.
She habitually looked out the door, but there wasn't even a car parked up. She snorted
and threw over a brochure. Here, take a look for yourself.
Keith wasn't angry. He smiled and started to read the information. With his instant
memorization ability, it only took a moment for him to find something.
There was a spacious apartment on the third floor of White Pine Gardens, with three
bedrooms and two bathrooms. The price was $4,000 per month, but it required an
upfront payment of half a year's rent. White Pine Gardens was a newly built complex.
The location wasn't bad, but the main point was that it was close to Harvard. Harvard
was the school he wanted to go to, and he had a decent chance of getting into it. That's
why he decided this was the apartment for him.
He was just about to ask the receptionist about it when the roar of a sports car suddenly
cut through the air, a Mercedes coupe screeched to a stop outside, and a fashionable
young couple climbed out and headed into the realtor's office. When the woman at the
counter saw this, she stopped playing with her phone and ran over to welcome them in.
The way she fawned all over them was the polar opposite of how she had just treated
Keith.
Under the guidance of the receptionist, the stylish young couple walked in with their
heads held high, and the other customers in the office all looked over. The young man in
sunglasses barged past Keith without a word and said arrogantly, Do you have a house
near Harvard? Pick the best one for me. The receptionist took the brochure from Keith's
hands and flipped through it.
There's only one property available in that area right now. What a coincidence. Oh, the
man in shades said happily, I'll take it.
Money isn't a problem. Find someone to take me to see it. Keith frowned when he heard
that.
He said, I'm sorry. I was here first, and I wanted to rent that place. The stylish young
woman glanced at Keith with a look of disdain that matched her partner's.
You want to rent a place in the school district? I think you'd be better suited to the slums.
The receptionist was clearly biased towards the couple and said, Sir, although you were
here first, the school's district rent is high. I don't think it would be suitable for you.
If you wait a moment, I'll help you choose somewhere better suited to your budget.
Okay? Oh, Keith turned a deaf ear to the receptionist words. He looked at the rich couple
and said lightly, What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly.
The man in shades was slightly taken aback when he heard that. He looked at Keith and
said, We said you should be in the slums. What are you going to do about it? What am I
going to do? Keith laughed and said, Even Magnus Carrington doesn't dare talk to me
like that.
You're brave. The rest of the office was stunned. Magnus Carrington was a hotshot
tycoon.
The man in the sunglasses was indeed rich, but compared to Magnus, he was nothing.
He shut his mouth and wondered what Keith's background was. Keith sneered, looked at
the receptionist and said, The rent is $4,000, right? I'll pay $7,000.
I want that apartment. The receptionist opened her mouth and looked at Keith in
disbelief. It wasn't common knowledge, but she knew that this agency was part of the
Carrington group.
If Keith really did have some relation to Magnus with just one word from him, she'd be
fired on the spot. She looked at Keith, then turned to the rich couple at a total loss as to
what to do. The man in shades stared at Keith.
