Chapter 57

At least the warm and beautiful indoor scene could make Buck squat by the roadside for a long time, holding a cigarette and enjoying it.

Was it because he had just killed someone that his emotions were somewhat relaxed or had been vented?

Buck, who had typical post-battle syndrome, knew that killing was absolutely a temporary relief, like drinking poison to quench thirst. It might ease his emotions once or twice, but too much would lead to a bloodlust... In fact, he was already quite bloodthirsty!

This morning, he returned to the lake less than a hundred kilometers away, reboarded the small island, and used the gasoline from the fuel tank to burn the seven corpses one by one. He even used tools to crush the remaining bones and burn them again before scattering them in the lake to feed the fish, and then he tried to clear all the traces as much as possible!

It was a rather terrifying process, and Buck even collected the cigarette butts, as they could leave DNA samples.

Even if the seven corpses were still there, there would be no evidence linking them to him. However, considering the precautions against Mr. Mou, Buck chose to be cautious.

Looking at a picture of a living room with a rustic style, Buck's mind couldn't help but think about these things.

The sound of Kokoko's footsteps came, and a pair of straight legs stood beside him: "Brother, have you found a house you like?"

Buck was wearing a one-piece work uniform from the car wash, and slippers, so his pants were rolled up to his knees, looking quite rough, with no air of a house buyer. He looked up in surprise: "Just looking... I'm just looking."

It should be the girl with slightly dark skin that his coworkers mentioned. She was indeed quite pretty, a healthy kind of beauty, with short hair, broad shoulders, and a black suit over a white shirt. She held her hands in front of her stomach and smiled professionally. Since Buck was bent over, leaning on his knees to look, she also slightly bent over, following the board Buck was facing: "This is a fully renovated apartment, with a total price of 750,000 yuan, and an indoor area of 97 square meters. The seller is a white-collar woman, so the decoration has a strong personal preference for a European country style. As you know, the housing market is not very active recently, so this house with a unique style... is relatively cheap. The decoration is basically free, and the owner is going abroad, so it's a very rare opportunity." Her tone was a bit fast but clear, her attitude sincere, and her smile constant.

Buck had been looking at the floor plans and house types while squatting on the side during his work breaks. This was the first time he had turned to look at the front, and he was quite familiar with the house prices. As a western municipality where house prices hadn't skyrocketed, the average price in this big city was still around 6,000 to 7,000 yuan per square meter. Of course, core areas and some high-end developments could exceed 10,000 yuan, but if this house was really as shown in the photos, the price wasn't too expensive.

The coworkers, who had been paying attention to something else, immediately jumped on the opportunity: "Miss... I want to buy a house, can you introduce me to one too?" He pointed to another board to get closer.

The dark-skinned girl still smiled and spoke quickly: "The key point? What key point do you want to say?"

The coworker grinned: "The key point is to get to know each other!"

To his surprise, the girl suddenly turned her head and her expression changed: "Fine! This villa is on the tree-lined avenue in the economic development zone. If you want to buy it, no need to talk, just pay the money, and I'll give you a 50% discount. I'll make up the difference. The total price is 4.27 million yuan, so it's 2 million for you. Pay up, and I'll introduce you! How about buying the villa and me together?!"

Wow! She's quite fierce!

Buck, still leaning on his knees, was a bit stunned as he watched the girl's change in attitude. The coworkers burst out laughing, teasing the guy who had been immediately rebuked: "Hurry up! Hurry up! You said you wanted to buy a house, a 50% discount and a girl, go for it..."

The guy was almost choked, and just as he was about to say something, the dark-skinned beauty didn't let up: "We're all working, so do your job during working hours. If you're serious about looking, I'll be serious too. Whether you buy or not is fine, but don't play around. That's disrespectful to yourself and others! Got it?"

Alright, the coworker was speechless.

Buck straightened up and helped his companion out: "Sure, sure, thanks. We're just looking during our break, thanks for your introduction..." He reached out to pat his coworker's shoulder and laughed as they returned to the car wash.

To their surprise, the girl still had her hands on her stomach, half-bowing to Buck: "Thank you for coming..." Then she straightened up and sharply told the group of "little rascals": "Don't be sneaky, trying to tease me! You're not good enough!" She then walked away with her high heels tapping rhythmically on the sidewalk, back to the real estate agency!

Buck and the others laughed as they watched the back of this professional and fiery dark-skinned beauty. Despite her average height and figure, she looked quite graceful in her black suit and black stockings. Someone even wanted to whistle, but Buck stopped him: "Be careful, she might throw a file at you. Do you believe me?"

Everyone nodded in agreement: "She's really a little chili pepper! A green one at that!"

Yeah, Buck thought this description was quite fitting. Not a bright and beautiful red pepper, but a spicy and strong green pepper. Especially with her slightly dark skin, it was hard to associate her with a bright red color, but her personality was indeed like a chili pepper. So, he passed out a round of cigarettes to everyone and went back to work at the car wash.

Actually, the dark-skinned girl in the office was also being teased by her colleagues: "How did it go? What was the result of your proactive approach to the wolf's den? They're just a bunch of car washers, how could they afford to buy houses? I think you're working too hard. You should focus on those potential clients, the rich young masters. Buying a house is as easy as buying a car for them, and the success rate is much higher."

The girl looked back at the place where Buck had been squatting: "People who seriously look at the ads are different. Poor people also want to buy houses, and I want to buy one too. Rich people buy a house with full payment, poor people buy one with a loan. For us, it's all about selling one house. In a bad market, it's important to seize every possibility... I'll go check out some properties this afternoon. If someone calls the office, contact me!" She made a playful phone gesture, went to her desk, took off her black top and high heels, and changed into flats, clearly preparing for another busy afternoon. No wonder she was so tanned!

Her colleague, a slightly plump girl, smiled and agreed: "You really are working hard."

The dark-skinned girl looked up and smiled brightly: "We, the children of the poor, have no connections or background, only a bit of brute strength. We want a better life, and the key is to work hard. I'm off, give me a kiss!" She unreasonably pulled the plump girl's face and kissed her. Another male colleague also asked for the same treatment, but she pinched him hard, and with a lot of laughter, she walked out into the scorching heat.

Yeah, she's quite optimistic!
