Chapter 73: The Zenith Dojo

He immediately contacted the lawyer whose services he had made use of when purchasing his house from Wang Jianxin. Lawyers of this time and age were well-versed in anything that dealt with contracts and the law, and Zhang Lie\'s purpose was to purchase another plot of land.

The lawyer he had worked with in the past, Zhang Hong, had handled the contract deftly, and he intended on working with her again.

"It\'s good to hear from you, Mr. Zhang. Will you require my services urgently, given that you\'re making such a late call?"

Zhang Hong\'s hologram gave Zhang Lie a businesslike smile, etiquette that wasn\'t reflected on Zhang Lie\'s part: he was smoking a cigarette and lounging back on a recliner, one foot propped up on the knee of the other.

"To say it\'s urgent would be an overkill, but to say it\'s not urgent would be an understatement."

Zhang Hong raised her eyebrows. "Mr. Zhang, it\'s already quite late at night, and these aren\'t my regular work hours. If there\'s something urgent, I will be happy to help. Otherwise, if you don\'t mind, I\'m about to rest, and I\'m sure the same applies to you."

Zhang Lie\'s nonsense would have caused any other lawyer to hang up by now, and Zhang Hong\'s restrained chiding was better than he had expected. "Lawyer Zhang, I admire your professionalism. In that case, I\'d like to leave this task in your capable hands. Put simply, I want to purchase the land rights for all the land within a kilometer of my house."

Zhang Lie\'s words shocked Lawyer Zhang into stunned silence. All the land within a kilometer of his house? It was true that Zhang Lie lived in the slums, and that the price of land here was far cheaper than it would otherwise be, but this was all relative.

The investment needed to buy up so much land would be a massive sum no matter where the land was. And if he wanted the land rights, he would have to buy up the houses in the area too. A conservative estimate for so much land would be at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

Zhang Lie\'s current residence was a recent purchase, and hadn\'t he spent one or two million dollars on it? What was he thinking now, trying to purchase the entire neighborhood?

If she remembered correctly, he lived alone with his sister, so where would he even get so much money? Surely he was drunk!

Despite the thoughts flitting through her brain, Zhang Hong\'s smile remained as placid and professional as ever. "Mr. Zhang, have you been drinking? I\'m afraid you may be a little muddleheaded at the moment. Thank you for keeping me in mind, but I\'m sorry, I\'m about to rest, and I still have to work tomorrow."

Zhang Lie thought that Zhang Hong was really quite patient to have lasted so long into his charade. Before she could leave, he slid a gold-rimmed black card out of his back pocket and waved it at her. "Lawyer Zhang, I\'m not kidding. I\'m a hunter in the dimensional world, after all."

Zhang Hong\'s eyes bulged, and her professional smile vanished in the blink of an eye.

"My goodness, Mr. Zhang, I—I do profusely apologize! I failed to recognize just how qualified you were to make such a purchase."

Those gold-rimmed black cards were only given to clients with a credit limit of millions of points, so Zhang Lie himself surely had assets totaling at least a hundred million. He hadn\'t been drunk at all! This man before her, though only in his early twenties, had the funds to back up his words!

It seemed as though he had chanced upon a stroke of fortune in the dimensional world.

"I don\'t mind. Shall we discuss the matter further?" He smiled, dismissing their earlier conversation.

Zhang Hong, faced with the prospect of such a lucrative request, immediately perked up. Although she had been feeling somewhat tired, her desire to sleep had vaporized. "Mr. Zhang, your request involves such a large sum of money that I would feel far more comfortable with a face-to-face conversation. Would you mind giving me a few minutes to get ready and head over?"

"Sure. It isn\'t too late yet, so I\'m happy to host you for a while."

"Very good, Mr. Zhang. I\'ll be at your estate in about fifteen minutes." Zhang Hong terminated the call, then beamed in excitement. This would be the largest transaction that she had handled in her career, and she would regret it for the rest of her life if she failed to secure it now.

As for Zhang Lie, he took a quick shower before Zhang Hong arrived.

The rest was simple. Zhang Lie informed her of his demands, and they quickly reached an agreement. Zhang Lie planned to have Zhang Hong handle everything on his behalf, and he would give her ten days to do so. Within ten days, he wanted to see the land rights for the land within a kilometer of his house.

.

Given the amount of money he was investing into the land, Zhang Hong easily agreed. He was willing to purchase the nearby properties for one and a half times their standard value, as well as grease the wheels a little to make the acquisition proceed more rapidly.

The residents of the slums were in luck: this much money would allow them to buy up houses outside the slums, giving them better living conditions for essentially no cost at all. Who would refuse such an offer?

Time seemed to pass quickly, but it took two hours before Zhang Hong and Zhang Lie worked out the details of the contract. Upon seeing Zhang Lie sign his name, Zhang Hong breathed out a sigh of relief, followed by a surge of excitement that filled her entire body. This was the biggest deal of her career!

"Thank you for your trust in me, Mr. Zhang. I, Zhang Hong, will do my best to guarantee a speedy acquisition!"

Zhang Lie nodded. "If you handle this matter well, I\'ll preferentially consider your services in the future. I hope you won\'t give me any reason to doubt my trust in you. Please acquire the land rights as quickly as you can."

Zhang Hong nodded, then asked offhandedly, "Might I ask what you plan on using the land for?"

"I intend on building a dojo right here."

A dojo for hunters of the dimensional world??Zhang Hong was taken aback once more.?A dojo right here in the slums, with no nearby facilities to support it?

She blinked a few times. Who would want to train in a dojo under such circumstances and in such conditions?
