”You....” ,Luke was baffled a little by Jimmy's rapidly quick response. He knew that Jimmy was very considerate person. He didn't agree for public apology. He didn't give his response even for the most beautiful woman in the entire city. But he immediately said ”yes” for five plots of land?
Luke snorted in disgust over Jimmy's greed. He thought Jimmy was a cheap person as he immediately agreed for just five peaces of land over a girl. For the likes of Luke five plots of land is nothing. For him it was like giving a casual begging for a beggar.
But he didn't know what exactly was going on in Jimmy's mind. Luke thought Jimmy is cheap. In fact, all the rich people thought it the same way. But no one knows why Jimmy agreed immediately for the five plots of land.
Jimmy could imagine what was going on in the minds of these rich people. After all, back in Life Realm his real body was a fucking emperor. He could guess what exactly these rich people were thinking. But he didn't care.
He has his own needs and urges. When he registered his name for the citizenship in the Solar City, he was given a temporary residence to stay. This residence would be taken away from them after ten years. After ten years, it doesn't matter whether they could build their own residence in this period of time. After ten years, their residence will be taken away from them.
Jimmy needed a house of his own very desperately. He made his enquiry. And from his enquiry he learned that the price for buying a piece of plot is highly expensive than constructing a house there. The price was not just expensive but it was ridiculously expensive.
And Jimmy was worrying that the ten years of time limit was not going to be enough for them to buy a plot of land and build their own residence. Ram, Grabber(Gutherson) and Gnanwell works in the City Lord's workshop. But they earn very little.
Jimmy knew that with their family's elders earning, they had to manage their daily necessities and other things. With the three people's earnings, seven people are studying in a campus. Due to all these situations, they couldn't save anything.
Jimmy was having a hard time to look for a steady source of income which helps them to save money. But as the earnings system is so low in the Solar City, Jimmy couldn't find any ways to make money.
As he was still thinking, Luke has given him an opportunity to solve the issue. If Jimmy let this opportunity go, then he is definitely not Jimmy. He doesn't care what others think about his greed. If his greed is going to solve his problem, then he will take his chances to win the bet.
”You.... you accepted it that quickly for five plots of land?” ,Luke asked surprised. But he smiled quickly and said, ”Whatever. Since you agreed for the bet, then don't go back on your word.”
Neil was also looking at Jimmy angrily. He said, ”Be prepared to apologise us publicly. There is no way you are going to win this bet. Young Master is trained by Master Thorfinn. Master Thorfinn is the best combat master in the city which enhances the Combat abilities of Young Master Luke. And what's more, Young Master Luke is assisted by none other than Young Master Wright! So give it up.”
