Chapter 587 Searching For A Place To Stay (3)
As it got darker outside, the city's lights started to twinkle, and the limousine engine could be heard filling the air with its low rumble as it drove back.
The man from Lucas's Trade, whose dress had remained immaculate and fragrant despite what they did during the day. He smiled expectantly at Erik, as it was clear he hoped he would buy something to get his fee.
"So, Mr. Kay, did you find something you liked among the options we explored today?" He asked with a tone that was equal parts curiosity and optimism.
Erik leaned back in his comfy Thaids' leather seat, his eyes gleaming with determination but hidden behind a mask. "Yes, the first building was a very nice-looking one. I think that it satisfies all of our requirements admirably. But what is the price?"
The gentleman's grin grew wider as he removed a tablet from his pocket to verify the information.
"The building is for sale for 6 million Eurems," he said while attempting to pry into Erik's thoughts.
At the mere mention of the amount, Erik felt his heartbeat quicken. It was an incredible amount of money and almost everything he held. However, he quickly overcame his initial shock.
<This shouldn't be a problem at all. It's easy for me to make money, and I only need a little of it to get by anyway. This is an investment in the continued success of the guild. As I am currently paying with my own money, I can get my money back once the guild has enough to cover its expenses.>
He nodded thoughtfully without revealing any sign of inner turmoil.
"It's a significant sum, but I think it's a reasonable price for what the building offers," he said to the agent. "I will accept the offer."
The man's ears immediately perked up, and he went for a handshake. "Fantastic! This is the right choice for you. The administrative work will be started as soon as possible."
Erik firmly shook his hand and said, "Thank you for your help today. Let's make sure everything goes off without a hitch, shall we?"
Excited gleams could be seen dancing in the man's eyes as he gave him his word that Lucas's Trade would handle everything with the utmost care.

The limousine continued on its journey without incident, and the lights and shadows of the city continued to pass by smoothly. The future of Erik's guild was suddenly looking brighter and more concrete, and Erik's mind was racing with ideas and possibilities for the future.
Although it was a sizeable investment, he undoubtedly thought this was the best way to move his career forward. He had found the opportunity within the structure; now, it was time to bring his vision to fruition.

The limousine stopped in front of Lucas's Trade's building. After disembarking, Erik and the man from Lucas's Trade entered the wealthy interior, where helpful staff members welcomed them and directed them to a meeting room with leather-bound chairs and a polished mahogany table.
The paperwork was laid out, and the man painstakingly explained each document to Erik, ensuring he grasped every facet of the situation. There were lengthy discussions about the agreement's terms, conditions, and future plans in addition to the signing process.
The agreement was finalized with Erik's signature, and the building will now serve as the guild master's administrative headquarters.
After finishing the necessary paperwork, Erik was overcome with a feeling of fulfillment and triumph. Once more, the man extended his hand and smiled at him in a friendly and sincere way. "You should be very proud, Mr. Kay. We can't wait to see how things will unfold for you and what you will achieve."
"Thank you so much for everything you've done for me today," Erik said in response, his tone resonating with appreciation.
When Erik finally found privacy, he reached for his phone and dialed Lysa's number.
Erik knew his expenses would rise following this acquisition. After all, he needed to find people to take care of the building and realized he needed to talk to her to clear up some issues.
The woman picked up the phone, "This is Lysa," she said.
"Lysa, I need your help," Erik said, but despite the words, his tone was confident.
"Erik? What is the problem?" she asked. Lysa knew that when Erik said those words, she would usually earn a lot of money.
"I just bought a building, which I plan to turn into the guild's main headquarters."
"Wow, that's awesome! But why do you need my help?" The gears in Erik's mind shifted, and he focused on the matter at hand.
"I'm looking for a few people to help me with the everyday tasks and the administration," the young man said.
"Can you help me find competent individuals to manage funds, supervise the building, and handle quests for our members? I want our associates to put all of their attention and concern into completing the quests and nothing else."
"Of course, Erik. I'll get started looking as soon as I can." Lysa responded, her voice brimming with determination. She could almost taste the revenue Erik would bring her for completing the task.
"I trust you to find the best and have complete confidence in your abilities." Erik's expression was one of unwavering trust and deep emotional connection as he uttered those words.
After assuring him, Lysa said, "I'll keep you updated on the progress," then they hung up the phone.
Erik found the activity outside Lucas's Trade's building fascinating as he looked out the window.
The place was a hustle and bustle, with many influential people coming and going.
Then he thought of his guild's headquarters. Aside from everything else, Erik was sure this had been a good investment.
The structure was more than just a piece of real estate; it represented their aspiration and was the basis for his dreams. As soon as possible, he would move there instead of paying for the hotel room. Not that he couldn't afford it.
Now more than ever, he needed his privacy, especially considering that he would test the Worm Slave's brain crystal power.
