Chapter 1869


    Presently, Matthew arranged for Szar to live in a vi next to him.


    Following Billy''s departure, he transferred all of Lakeside Garden''s assets to Matthew. Henceforth, all


    Lakeside Garden properties were managed by Matthew''s men. Since Billy left him the properties, he


    technically owned all the unsold houses but had no intention of selling them either. How could he sell


    them at will? Therefore, approximately a dozen empty vis in Lakeside Garden were allotted to his


    subordinates so they could reside there.


    Matthew led Szar to the vi next door and inquired about his dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, Szar


    wasn''t picky about amodations and appeared unaware of thevish furnishings inside the vi.


    Although Matthew offered him the vi, Szar decided to settle for a gym and bedroom on the ground


    floor instead. In addition, after he moved in, he tidied up the gym and brought in a lengthy item


    wrapped in cotton cloth.


    "What is this?" Melvin inquired out of curiosity.


    Szar did not respond and instead flicked the cotton cloth used to wrap the item. This resulted in a

    been since youst unwrapped this item?"


    Dismissing him, Szar removed the sheet to reveal a wooden dummy. Several sticks protruded from


    it, and the way those sticks were inserted into the holes made it look like a human figure with arms


    outstretched. The holes were interconnected, allowing the wooden sticks to pass from one side to the


    other.


    When Melvin realized what it was, his eyes grew wide. "Wow! Why would you bring this thing over


    here? It''s just a wooden dummy, so why don''t you buy a new one? Isn''t it tiresome to move such a


    Szar gave him a cursory nce but said nothing. On the other hand, Matthew gasped in surprise,

    "You can''t buy this anywhere!"


    "Why not?" Melvin retorted. "There aren''t many people who use wooden dummies for training anymore,


    but they''re always avable online."


    Matthew shook his head and exined, "The wooden dummy you''re referring to is not identical to this


    one."


    Melvin was taken aback when he heard that. "What is the difference? This dummy only has more sticks


    to it! Why? Is it because it was made of rosewood? Even if it''s made of rosewood, just look at its


    condition! Do you still believe it canst a lifetime?"


    Szar red at him and hissed, "Can you please stop babbling nonsense?"


    A dissatisfied Melvin remarked, "Hey, why are you acting so ungrateful? Why shouldn''t I say what''s on


    my mind after I''ve brought you here?"


    Szar was at a loss for words, and Matthew was simrly helpless. However, there were times when


    Melvin genuinely deserved to be beaten.


    After hearing Matthew''s exnation, Szar stared at him in disbelief. Reаd at Dramanovеls
