Chapter 73: Fiona

Roonie smiled at Veyne. "Man, your family is really... intense."

Veyne just smiled at him. "I bet it was nothing compared to your family."

Roonie rolled his eyes. "Dude. Sure, there was more violence there, but nothing could beat this family drama. You’re calling out your aunt, ahh, that must have burned deep."

Veyne remembered Aunt Corini’s red face and started laughing. "Haha, she really turned into a red tomato."

Roonie nodded along. "Haha, true. By the way, Veyne, excellent shot."

Veyne tilted his head.

Roonie mimicked his action by waving a beer bottle toward him and then made a sound with his mouth.

"Puff. That was pure chef’s kiss, man."

Veyne just tapped his bottle with Roonie’s. "Well, good to see you enjoyed the show."

To be true, from the moment they walked out of the meeting, even he felt a lightness, like something heavy had just lifted off his chest.

He just relaxed in his seat, enjoying the moment.

Now he understood why people chase after revenge. They must get this same addictive sense of satisfaction.

Roonie pulled him out of his thoughts as he said in a disappointed tone, "Too bad, man, you ended things with your family. Now I don’t get to enjoy this drama anymore."

Veyne shook his head. "Wow, you really are someone who enjoys others’ misery."

"Hey, don’t act like some saint now. I know you invited me while knowing things were going to get messy."

Veyne didn’t deny it.

When he learned about the party, he knew there was a small chance Cathrine might show up.

Well, with all said and done, it was for the better that she chose to come directly. Now, at least, he’d have one less spam caller.

Though a new doubt rose in his mind.

Given how familiar Kron was with everything about his old guild situation. And how both of them slightly twisted the narrative; it looked like he had also been wrong about the starting date of their relationship.

It didn’t matter now. He had no feelings attached to her. Though he was interested in seeing how his actions would change the future.

As for the family meeting, he smiled at Roonie. "Ah, don’t worry. The next family meeting will be at my big uncle’s house. He’s the kind of guy who wants the family to stick together, so I’ll definitely be invited."

Roonie smiled at him. "Oh, so more drama is still to come."

Veyne shook his head. "No need to get excited over something so distant. Before that, there are some other dramas we need to handle."

Roonie stopped smiling at this and clicked his tongue. "Yeah. By the way, you were talking about your house requirements?"

Veyne looked at Roonie and then nodded. "Yup, the dorm is good for casual playing, but in the long term, it’ll just hamper my progress. I need my place to train and play the game."

Roonie waved his hand. "Wait, let me call the perfect person for this."

Trr trrr trrr trrr

After a couple of rings, the person on the other side picked up.

Roonie put the phone on speaker as the other person said in a sweet tone, [How come you remember me, you party freak?]

Roonie replied in a flat tone. "Fiona, I want you to look for a property for me."

[Click! Figures you’d only call me when you need something. What do you want this time?]

Roonie just said plainly, "I need a property for someone in the guild."

[Guild? What happened to that big house you built for your guild? Did you already fill that?]

Veyne raised an eyebrow at Roonie.

Roonie sighed and said to him, "I just tried to copy those guild house concepts from big guilds. It’s not that big—just a place for the top 10 Kiyon members to live. Only five people live there now, but I don’t think you want to live with all that disturbance, right?"

Veyne nodded. "Yeah."

At this, Fiona asked, [Oh, is the person you’re looking for the house for present next to you]

Roonie nodded. "Yup."

He turned to Veyne and introduced her. "Veyne, Fiona is my childhood friend. She’s the eldest daughter of the biggest property distributor in this area. When it comes to finding a house, she’s one of the best."

Fiona started laughing. [Hehe, Roonie, you shameless guy. I won’t fall for the same trick. By the way, who’s this lucky dude you’re calling me for?]

Veyne introduced himself with a smile. "Hello, Miss Fiona. I’m Veyne, Roonie’s younger game brother."

[What!!! When did Cobra have a fourth child?]

Veyne looked at Roonie and saw him smacking his head but not saying anything.

He corrected her himself. "Miss, big bro, and I are game brothers."

[Game brothers? Ew, Roonie, you freak. Don’t tell me you’re into young boys now.]

Roonie said with irritation, "Veyne, don’t mess with her. And Fiona, why don’t I come to your house and show you where my interests really lie?"

[Wah, how can you say such stuff in front of others? By the way, when are you coming? I’ll get ready for you.]

Veyne looked at the phone, then at Roonie. This irritated Roonie as he said, "Hey, that’s enough. Just tell me, will you help or not?"

[Tch, this attitude of yours... Sigh. Forget it. Hey, you—game brother—what was your name again?]

Veyne noticed the shift in her tone. It had gotten sharper. He also stopped messing around and said, "Veyne."

[Okay, Veyne. Do you have anything in mind?]

Veyne nodded. "Yeah, nothing too fancy. I think a two-floor house should be enough, with a single bedroom set, a living space, and a big kitchen on one floor."

[That’s basic! What about the second floor?]

Veyne thought for a moment. "Half of the second floor needs to be one big gym with some equipment. The other half should be empty, maybe with some mat padding on the floor."

[So a gym and an empty room, right? Anything else?]

"Yeah. If possible, I want a swimming pool. Its position doesn’t matter, but it needs to be at least 10 feet deep."

[10 feet? Are you crazy? Don’t you know 6 feet is the limit for house use?]

"Ah, if that’s not possible, then can you look for a house that’s close to some deep commercial pools?"

[When did I say it wasn’t possible? It’ll just take more time. Give me an hour and I’ll send you some locations. By the way, do you also need household workers?]

Roonie said to her, "You don’t have to worry about those things."

[Oh, don’t tell me you’re going to use those guys?]

"Just send the location."

Click!

With that, Roonie disconnected the call.
