Chapter 143 Niall''s Ind Resort


    Jasper said, "Niall, you''re too courteous."


    Zoren chimed in, "Honestly, Pauic is just okay. I think those rare Lafite bottles in your cer might be more to my liking. I wouldn''t mind taking those home."


    Niall was speechless.


    Liamughed heartily, "Haha, Zero, seems like you''re up for a real contest, huh?"


    Once you start taking advantage of someone, you will want more and more.


    If a wine was rare and sought after, it was almost like a currency, increasing in value over time.


    Niall eyed Zoren thoughtfully. "I can give you the wine, but you''ll have to swim over. Whether you manage that depends on your ability."C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Hearing this, Zoren straightened immediately, "Niall, I was only joking! How could I possibly swim across such a vast sea?"


    Niall replied, "Oh, is that so? Well, since you''ve got such a big appetite, the sea is just water. You could drink your way through it."


    Zoren quickly backed down, "Fine, I misspoke, Niall."


    Violeta turned to Niall and asked, "Niall, where''s your super luxurious yacht?"


    "It''s on its way, but it might take a while to get here."


    While Niall had not nned any yacht outings recently, the yacht was kept in pristine condition with daily cleaning, maintenance, and care by professionals.


    The buggy arrived at the manor, and everyone got off.


    The vacation resort showcased an Eastern-style vintage elegance, beginning with traditional double wooden doors at the entrance.


    It was effortlessly chic, simple, and ssic, yet timeless.


    The entrance was adorned with a variety of ind nts, all meticulously pruned and beautifully maintained.


    As they walked in, passing the cobblestone pathway and the sunken corridor, Violeta noticed two cats lounging on the front yard wall. "Niall, do you keep cats here?"


    Niall casually nced at the two cats perched on the wall. "Yes, when I first came to the ind to handle pest control, there were quite a few rats, so it made sense to get a couple of cats.


    "They''re named Snowy and cky."


    "Are they male or female?"


    Niall paused for a moment, "Both male."


    "Haha!


    The group burst intoughter.


    Niall had thought ahead, realising that if he had one male and one female cat, they would likely breed, potentially leading to an overpoption of cats on the ind.


    Having cats of the same sex might lead to fights, especially during the mating season, so he opted to have them neutered to avoid such issues.


    The staff had prepared the


    bedrooms thoroughly, and once everyone''s Juggage was settled, Hera and Zeus were settled on the terrace, Meanwhile, Violeta and her friends moved to the front hall to enjoy lunch.


    Zoren and the others were long aware that Niall owned an ind resort, but they had never had the chance to visit until now.


    Staying on the ind full-time was undeniably rxing and seemed prestigious, yet life therecked the vibrancy of city living.


    If not for this summer vacation, they might not have been interested in visiting the ind at all.


    So, this was their first time vacationing at the resort.


    Lunch primarily featured seafood dishes.


    Previously, Violeta had breakouts after eating so many roasted meats, but this time, the meal was fresh and light, which suited her better. As they dined, the conversation flowed easily among them.


    Liam, ever curious, posed a question to Niall, "Niall, who are the wealthy individuals living on the nearby inds? Maybe we know some of them."


    Niall took a moment to think, then said, "Well, there are a few foreign businessmen around here, though you might not know them personally-your uncle might have."


    He paused, remembering something, "Oh yes, there''s also a celebrity from Harbor City who bought an ind nearby."


    Jasper perked up, "A celebrity? Who is it?"


    Zoren urged, "Come on, Niall, try to remember."


    Even Hayden looked up from his soup, intrigued.


    Niall scratched his head. "Herst name''s Leid, I think. Sorry, I can''t quite ce her first name."


    Violeta, enjoying her king crab, suddenly piped up, "Hannah Leid?"


    "That''s her!"


    Niall confirmed as he returned to his meal and squeezed some lemon over his crab.


    Casually, he added, "They actually offered me the ind next to hers when it was for sale, but I wasn''t interested."


    Curious, Violeta asked, "Why didn''t you take it, Niall?"


    Niall exined further about the


    ind, "That ind was filled inter.


    Initially, arge natural pit in the middle made it unsuitable for building. After all the surrounding inds were sold, this one


    Lov


    remained. So, they filled it in to make


    it saleable.


    "Since that ind is close to mine, the real estate agent came to me with an offer, proposing a 40% discount.


    "I declined. Fillednd isn''t as stable


    as natural terrain. Even if it''s solid


    now, who knows what might happen with geological shifts in the future?


    If the filled area copses are?


    what then? Moreover, the sea weather is unpredictable. If typhoon hits, we could all be


    If a


    eline


    stranded on the ind, not to mention the risks associated with the fill sinking. There were simply too many safety concerns."
