Chapter 554 Motorcade
Ultimately, Patton agreed to the deal, partly because he felt the other party's argument made sense, and partly because the offer was simply too much.
So, after getting another meal from the other person, he stuffed the three heavy money bags into his pocket and then led the other person to a very inconspicuous little shabby house.
After searching for a while, Patton found a small box. The most conspicuous thing inside was the somewhat worn land deed. He dusted it off and then handed the box to the wealthy merchant across the street.
Don't underestimate this land deed. In this world, some noble estates have many magical restrictions, especially in the kingdom of Mi'anli, which has many mages.
Without this land deed as a key, even if you find the manor, you won't be able to use many of the facilities, and you might not even be able to get through the gate.
However, although this was once a nobleman's estate, the land deed was not very valuable, and could even be considered worthless.
Because this manor is located inside the Titia Forest, in such a dangerous place, no matter how high its original value or how large its territory, it won't be worth much money.
This is also why Patton's grandfather and father didn't sell it, because really not many people wanted it, and even if they did, they wouldn't get much money. Rather than that, they preferred to keep it as a source of pride.
Although that honor has already been sold off by that unlucky guy, Patton.
Of course, the money offered by the other party far exceeded the current value of the land deed, so Patton looked somewhat uneasy after the transaction.
After all, what fool would spend a fortune to buy a piece of land that they can't live on and can only look at?
Perhaps fearing that the other party might suddenly realize their mistake and be unwilling to waste the money, Patton quickly added a few more words from the side, praising how wonderful the estate was.
Actually, he had never been there or seen it! He only said that to prevent the other party from changing their mind.
However, he was overthinking it. After confirming that there were no problems with the land deed, the other party did not say anything more. It seems that he also had some understanding of the land deed before making the purchase.
Upon seeing this, Patton, who had been filled with anxiety, immediately beamed with joy. People are always fickle; just a short while ago he was determined not to sell the land deed, but now he's worried that others won't buy it.
Fortunately, both parties are very satisfied with the deal.
"Happy transaction! By the way! We've chatted for so long, but I haven't asked your last name yet, sir. My name is Patton, Patton Gakman!"
Looking at Patton's fawning face, the wealthy businessman who had purchased the land title remained silent for a moment before extending his gloved right hand.
"My surname is Lin."
After a few pleasantries, the two parted ways. As they parted, the wealthy businessman surnamed Lin glanced back one last time and noticed that Patton, who was determined to revitalize his family, was slowly walking towards the casino street after the transaction.
It seems the Gakman family is doomed to fail.

In Oasis City, the Adventurers' Guild occasionally forms a team to venture into the Forest of Titia. This team consists of multiple adventurer squads, all of which are quite powerful.
Each time they set off, they would bring along a group of people who wanted to go to the Forest of Titia.
This is equivalent to escorting a caravan. For wealthy merchants who lack the strength but still want to enter the Forest of Titia in search of valuable resources, joining this adventurer team is undoubtedly the best choice.
Of course, joining this team comes at a high price, and the team doesn't guarantee your safety 100%. In case of an emergency, they have the right to abandon you and evacuate on their own.
That's the situation. Although joining a car team is expensive and doesn't guarantee your safety, the Forest of Tia has many treasures. If you can get them alive, it's definitely a sure thing.
Like many others eager to get rich quick, Lin Tian also joined this convoy, though his purpose was certainly different from the others...
The Forest of Titia is a complex environment; someone who has never been there before would definitely get lost if he suddenly ventured in.
Therefore, after finding out its approximate location, Lin Tian joined the convoy, intending to take a ride along the way.
Because the convoy was quite large, it was escorted in segments, with each small team basically protecting the safety of a specific area.
Protecting Lin Tian and his group was a five-person adventurer team called the Red Diamond Team. The team consisted of four men and one woman, all of whom had reached the Silver rank, making them one of the more outstanding members of the entire caravan.
Lin Tian rented a carriage by himself, partly because he was not short of money, and partly because he also needed some privacy.
Most of the others traveled with the adventurer teams on the ground, since the price of the carriages was too high, and if they couldn't find good resources this time, they would really lose a lot of money.
"Tsk~ He's my type~"
The convoy had not yet officially set off and was currently carrying out some preparations. It was at this time that the only woman in the Red Diamond team was immediately attracted by Lin Tian's handsome face and his well-dressed clothes.
"Oh my! Let me see which pretty boy has managed to attract our Sister Hongsha."
"Tsk tsk~ He's from Gear Country, looks pretty rich, but I've heard that people from Gear Country are all pretty dull. Are you sure you want to find this kind of boring guy?"
Despite her companions' teasing, the female adventurer named Red Sands seemed completely unconcerned.
"It's okay, as long as you know how to use your strength."
After telling the dirty joke, Hongsha walked towards the man amidst her companions' laughter.
"Is the handsome guy alone?"
Hongsha went straight to the carriage Lin Tian had rented. She leaned against the side as if they were old friends, looking at Lin Tian with seductive eyes.
It must be said that Hongsha's appearance is not bad. Although her face cannot compare with the young ladies in the city, it is still quite good. This is mainly because she is a superhuman and has a good figure.
Even so, Lin Tian couldn't help but frown when she leaned closer.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Lin Tian thinks she's ugly, but because the female adventurer is wearing a lot of perfume, and Lin Tian has been quite sensitive to smells lately, so he inevitably resists her getting close.
However, Hongsha misinterpreted this as disdain.
Am I ugly?
Seeing Lin Tian's expression, Hong Sha was stunned. She had many suitors in her daily life, but she was too proud to look down on those guys.
Now that she's finally found someone she likes, the other person is still complaining about her?
Hongsha was a little angry and wanted to get back at him, but Lin Tian's aloof expression left her unsure of where to begin.
Her gaze wandered, then suddenly fell on the black suitcase Lin Tian was carrying.
"I need to take a look at this box of yours."
Lin Tian was not surprised by Hong Sha's offhand remark, because the convoy had a rule that everything carried by outsiders had to be inspected.
This is because they are afraid someone might cause trouble or bring dangerous items.
However, this is usually reviewed by a specialist. Although it is somewhat sudden for Hongsha to bring this up now, as a passenger, he can't say anything about it.

Do you really want to see it?
