The territory of the Reynolds Household, Dominion District was abuzz with activity. There was a continuous stream of visitors lining up outside their mansion. If not for the guards controlling the scene, there might even be a stampede in the area. This just showed how strong the influence of the Reynolds Household was despite just being a mere Viscount Family.

It must be noted that there is a distinct hierarchy in the noble circle. The upper echelons strictly adhered to this, but there were some noble families that were unaffected by this, and one of them is the Reynolds Household. Such families have something unique in their household that prevented other noble families from causing much trouble to them despite having a lower-ranked noble title. For instance, the Reynolds Household has two Level 4 Espers supporting them. Not to mention that their young children were also talented individuals.

In front of the Reynolds Household’s mansion, Viscount Harold Reynolds was now talking to a middle-aged man wearing spectacles. Both men shook hands with smiles on their faces.

“My friend, Henry, thank you for coming here after my hasty invitation!”

“I wouldn’t dare decline your invitation, Sir Harold! Hahaha!”

Harold grinned and pulled Henry inside his mansion as he said. “I want to do business with you, my friend. Let’s talk about it inside.”

Henry’s eyes flashed upon hearing his words. Doing business with the nobles is always profitable and knowing Harold Reynolds, he definitely wouldn’t be stingy in their negotiations. Thinking about this, Henry expectantly followed Harold inside the mansion.

“Please sit down, my friend.” Harold said as he sat down.

.....

“Thanks.” Henry sat opposite Harold.

“What business would you like to do with me, Sir Harold?” Henry asked with a smile.

“That’s what I like about you, my friend. Always straight to the point. Haha! It’s like this... I want you to build a huge clinic for me in this area. By the way, do you want coffee or tea?” Harold took out a map of Lion City and gave it to Henry.

“Coffee please.” Henry answered right away as he took the map. He adjusted his spectacles and stared at the map with great seriousness. There was a red circle drawn on the map indicating the location of a weapon shop.

While Henry was looking at the map, a servant placed put two cups on the table and filled them with coffee. She then silently stood behind Harold.

“Sir Harold, do you want me to build the clinic in the plot of this weapon shop?” Henry asked as he put down the map. He didn’t care what kind of infrastructure he was going to build. As long as he could profit from the business, he was willing to do anything. That is the number one rule of a qualified merchant!

Harold nodded his head. “That’s right. I want you to build a grand clinic for me. To tell you the truth, this clinic will not be owned by our Reynolds Household. Someone of high status asked us to build a clinic for him. Can you do it, my friend?”

Henry contemplated deeply upon hearing Harold’s words. What kind of person could make the Reynolds Household mobilize its resources for him? He didn’t dare think about it anymore and just nodded his head. “Of course! This isn’t a problem at all! I will mobilize the best builders in our company and tell them to use the best materials to build this clinic for you. Just that, this might be a little bit expensive...”

Harold’s eyes gleamed. He then chuckled and pushed a contract to Henry.

Henry silently took the contract and read everything. When he saw the amount that the Reynolds Household was willing to pay, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. “This...”

He was shocked! They were actually willing to pay five hundred thousand gold coins for a mere clinic! This was an astronomical sum even for noble families! Such an amount of money was already enough to build a decent mansion!

“Sir Harold, just to be sure, do you want me to build a mega-luxurious clinic?” Henry asked in a low quivering voice. The amount of money involved in this transaction was so big that it was equal to a year of their company’s profit!

Harold nodded his head with a smile, but in truth, he was also stunned when he received this contract proposal from his father. This wealth would cause a substantial impact on the finances of their Reynolds Household, but he could also understand his father’s thoughts. The money they would use would be worth it since their friendship with Sir Aethelwolf would be cemented.

“Is there any problem, my friend?”

Henry gulped as he calmed his wildly beating heart. “Not at all! However, the materials we would need to build this mega-luxurious clinic will be quite difficult to get so we would have to ask for fifty percent of the payment in advance to expedite the process of acquiring these materials.”

“No problem! Deal!” Harold extended his hand and Henry shook it right away with a wide smile.

“I’ll sign this contract first, Sir Harold.” Henry hurriedly took out a pen from his pocket and signed the contract with his greatest speed, afraid that Harold would take back his words.

And so, Leric’s clinic was about to be born after this transaction.

Meanwhile, inside the Reynolds Household’s guest room, Leric was playing chess with Samira and her two maids.

He was also surprised to find out that this world has the same game as his previous life. The only difference was the name of the chess pieces. Other than that, the rules and moves are the same.

Samira looked at the chessboard with furrowed eyebrows. Her position was tight, but Leric’s pieces were slowly crumbling her defenses. It was only a matter of time for to be defeated.

After more than twenty moves, Leric grabbed a chess piece and put it down on the board. “Checkmate. You lose again, Miss Samira.” He said with a smile.

Samira plopped down on the sofa while looking at Leric with awe. This man was so good at everything. Even his chess skill was top-notch!

“Sir Aethelwolf, I don’t want to play anymore. I’ll only embarrass myself if I continue playing with you.” Samira muttered helplessly. Their skill wasn’t even that close. If not for Leric giving her mercy, she would have lost so horribly in all the matches they’ve played.

Skylar and Kathlyn giggled at the side when they saw the defeated look of their young miss.

Looking at the three lovely ladies in front of him, Leric sighed emotionally. ‘So this is the kind of life that I missed...’ He muttered in his heart.
