Chapter 58 Zayn Avenue

After slashing the price by a large margin and making Old Man Chao look as if he was bleeding internally, they agreed to meet up near the vicinity of the stall where they first met.

Shi Tian was quite pleased with himself regarding the bargaining price he obtained. After all, the Crimson Mage might have killed the tenant on impulse, but at the very least, it had only occurred once and not frequently.

Thus, the possibility of the tenant offending her was pretty high, and the action of this benefited Shi Tian greatly.

Thanks to this particular action, the apartment room remained vacant and allowed him the opportunity to rent it.

Sometime later, Shi Tian arrived at the meet-up place and patiently waited for Old Man Chao to reveal himself. He was sure Old Man Chao was already on the scene, but purposely concealed himself, most likely as a way to snap back at him for the price slashing.

\'Too bad for him, patience is my strong forte. I can do this all day.\' Shi Tian sneered inwardly, taking out his Cellos device to browse for the current news.

Since Old Man Chao wanted to play the waiting game, then Shi Tian wasn\'t going to be an idiot either to simply stand still and not do anything. He might as well use this time to educate himself further and catch back on what he had missed during his slumbering days.

And sure enough, high above a rooftop, Old Man Chao was twitching his brows in disbelief.

He was kneeling on one knee and had his eyes locked on Shi Tian the moment he appeared within the vicinity.

Originally, he wanted to make him wait and cause him to believe he had decided to renege on the deal due to the price cut, but who would have thought about this outcome.

Shi Tian was just leaning by the wall, and not an ounce of impatience could be seen in his eyes or actions.

\'I refuse to believe you aren\'t frustrated right now and are simply putting up an act.\' Old Man Chao thought to himself, deciding to remain hidden.

Alas, 30 minutes had gone by, and Shi Tian was still in his original position, scrolling through his Cellos device.

Meanwhile, Old Man Chao kept glancing at his own Cellos device, thinking that Shi Tian might call him soon regarding when he would show up, only to no avail.

With that thought process in mind, Old Man Chao decided to camp by the rooftop for a bit longer.

Soon, an hour had gone by, and Old Man Chao was truly defeated.

"What the heck am I even doing?" Old Man Chao asked himself, wondering how he managed to lose all his reasoning and do such a stupid thing. He had effectively wasted an hour and 30 minutes for absolutely nothing.

Time was money, and by wasting it, Old Man Chao was practically emptying his own wallet.

Unable to endure this dumb waiting game further, Old Man Chao hopped down from the rooftop and landed smoothly on the ground. Afterward, he pretended to look apologetic as he waved his hands toward Shi Tian.

"Apologies Sir, I was caught up in something, resulting in me being extremely late." Old Man Chao smiled apologetically.

"Oh?"

Shi Tian merely gave a soft response and stored his Cellos device. He was not a bit interested in why he was late.

It would have been better if Shi Tian didn\'t give any response at all because Old Man Chao felt as if multiple bullets had pierced through his heart.

\'He\'s an irregular customer. I\'m never doing this waiting crap again.\' Old Man Chao noted to himself and screamed internally. However, on the surface, he kept a bright smile on his face, acting as if everything was under control.

"You must have waited long, but I have informed the Crimson Mage already regarding your intention. The contract has already been written, so all you need to do is go to the apartment room and inspect it for yourself." Old Man Chao informed.

Of course, he had already politely informed the Crimson Mage of a new tenant beforehand and that she wouldn\'t need to do anything else.

He was willing to troll and mess with others, but definitely not the Crimson Mage. Even if he had ten lives, Old Man Chao still wouldn\'t dare to make the Crimson Mage wait for him.

"Lead the way," Shi Tian said calmly, not bothered with his explanation whatsoever. To be honest, he was immersed in his own world until Old Man Chao suddenly interrupted him, prompting him to recall why he was waiting here in the first place.

"Haha, right this way," Old Man Chao twitched his mouth and laughed, pretending to not mind the behavior.

He turned around and began leading the way, whereas Shi Tian calmly followed behind, not saying much in the process.

Although he had waited quite a while, Shi Tian had to thank Old Man Chao for giving him an excuse to rest for a moment. After all, he hadn\'t really taken a relaxing break for a while ever since entering Gearits City.

Poor little Old Man Chao might have vomited blood in anger and frustration if he had known Shi Tian\'s true thoughts. He wanted to take some petty revenge, but instead of revenge, he was granting a luxury moment to Shi Tian.

Time slowly passed by, and they arrived at Zayn Avenue, a somewhat decent vicinity of the middle class in Gearits City. It wasn\'t dirty like the slum area, but it also wasn\'t considered a glamorous area that the inner zone area enjoyed.

Though the avenue wasn\'t bustling with many people given that it\'s more of a living complex area for people to reside in.

"Over there, Sir! That is the apartment complex owned by the Crimson Mage." Old Man Chao paused his footstep and pointed at a large and tall building.

Shi Tian followed the line of his point and was impressed with the sight of the tall building. \'This Old Man Chao might be a scammer, but his eyes sure are working well to find such a good place.\'
