Chapter 245
The Mountain Villa was surrounded by high walls, and dozens of meters outside stood a tall electric pole, erected solely to supply electricity to this one residence—and it was industrial-grade power at that.
When the electronic gates of the Mountain Villa slowly opened, your car gently rolled in. Stepping out of the car, you couldn’t help but be a bit stunned. This was no mere villa, it was practically an Emperor’s temporary palace!
"Wow, this place is so extravagant, it’s all splendid and opulent," Nong Xuele said excitedly as she ran towards the hall.
"Master Li, are you satisfied with the facilities here?" the suit-clad beauty asked you with a smile.
You shrugged at her and said with a smile, "If I said I wasn’t satisfied, I reckon I’d be struck by lightning on the spot."
There’s no need to go into detail about all the villa’s interior amenities. In short, everything here could rival the décor of a five-star presidential suite, complete with all the trimmings.
About an hour later, another car pulled in. Two women in tight-fitting clothes carried four large parcels from the car.
After placing the four parcels in the living room, you asked one of them, "Did you find the Thousand-year-old peach wood branch I mentioned before?"
These two were clearly not the talkative type. One of them simply nodded, and soon, she entered with a cylindrical container meant for tennis balls. From it, she poured out a long, thin film filled with nitrogen gas, and within the film lay the Thousand-year-old peach tree branch you sought.
The branch, freshly snapped off, seemed to exude fresh vitality, its leaves still tender and glossy.
