85 ARE YOU SCARED? (1/2)

The mansion in Azure Woods was not that far from the edges of Supreme City, only about thirty kilometres. However, the drive was quite long because their destination was across the city. Still, Hu Lei did not feel tired or distressed. In fact, she felt quite excited about seeing what had changed.

Unfortunately, this girl had not been to most parts of the city, so she could not really tell how much had changed. That did not stop her from pressing her face against the glass like a country bumpkin. She felt elated seeing the bustle and hustle of the metropolis.

Zhong Feng smiled gently and drove a little slower, allowing her to indulge her eyes. He decided that he would bring her around town when they had a chance. Hu Lei was that person who liked the mundane excitements of normal life and seeing drama unravelling. He was clear on this fact.

Most people would kill to be adventurers like she had been in the past. But she who had seen the world only liked things that others might find annoying and even boring. Luckily, Supreme City was never lacking in this type of entertainment.

After a long drive, they finally entered into Area 99 villa district. This locale, in spite of its nonsensical nickname, was the home to numerous important persons of Supreme City. More accurately, the villas were primarily owned by the children of the local influential families.

The development was quite exclusive. It was difficult for people to purchase a home in this place even if anyone was willing to sell. Though the properties were not owned by a single person, there was a strange solidarity among the owners. New money families interested in owning a villa often found themselves turned away.

The limitation can perhaps be called the pride of the old families.

Or perhaps it was one of those things that rich and over-privileged people do.

When the original development had been proposed by the Mo family, everyone in the upper circles had gone crazy over the prospect. The idea sold to the local tyrant families was providing their heirs with a respectable home to mature before taking over their family operations. These heirs could also get to know one another for business purposes. There might even be good news on a personal level.

In the past, the influential families would insist that their sons and daughters had to live in their paternal homes to prevent them from going astray. Now, everyone knew that their children had to leave the nest and gain a little experience.

Zhong Feng had not purchased the villas when the Area 99 fad was hot. In fact, he had not been interested in the obsession if he had even noticed it. He had been content to invest his money in high-end apartments in Westend and live in his penthouse.

But like other parents, Zhong Tian and Chu Ling did not want to be left out. Even though their family was the most influential, they felt that if their children did not own a villa in Area 99, they would lose a lot of face. The other families would probably think they were looking down on them.

So, Zhong Feng got a beautiful villa in Area 99 as a birthday present.

All in all, it was not a bad place. The environment was good, and it was not far from the city centre. Though it was not as convenient Westend, it had its benefits.

”Where are we?” Hu Lei asked with interest.

Zhong Feng smiled.

”This is Area 99.” He replied.

Hu Lei pressed her lips together, but she busted out laughing immediately. What kind of idiot would name this type of high-end place such a stupid name? It had so much edge she could feel it cutting her vocal cords.
