Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg Chapter 789
Chapter 789 Rent an Apartment
The streets of the City of Phoenix were quite clean. This world seemed to have achieved full
mechanism!
Many robots were sweeping the streets, and the people on the road were used to the existence of
these robots.
After entering the city, Gerald and the others were in great shock.
The people on the streets were much more than in Ries City. On both sides of the street, there were all
kinds of shops selling clothes and medicinal herbs, providing services, entertainment, and all sorts of
other things.
When human civilization developed to a certain extent, most things were actually interlinked, such as
smartphones, computers, and networks…
Compared to Earth, this world seemed more advanced.
For example, the smartphone, which was also the way of communication in this world, had truly
achieved artificial intelligence.
In this world, artificial intelligence was also everywhere.
And for various reasons, there was no way to make it a global connection like on Earth, and it could
only be limited to a certain range.
“This sweeping robot is not bad. I will take a few back with me and it can save me a lot of money from
hiring a nanny,” Triston looked at the robots and said.
“A hundred years have passed. As expected, this city has changed a lot. I can’t even recognize the
road.” Hector smiled and said, “Let’s go rent a place first! Just like in Sin City, the lower–class people
can only live in the outer areas.”
He smiled and said, “The closer it gets to the city center, the lower the buildings are. The city center
belongs to the Four Ancient Families. The buildings there are not too different from the villas on Earth.”

Hector looked around and then saw a house rental agency.
Many people were sitting inside, and their clothes looked more formal, but they were also different from
the ones on Earth.
When they saw Gerald and the others come in, especially when they saw Gerald and the others
carrying luggage, several people were delighted and quickly surrounded them. However, when they
saw that Gerald and the others did not have the number plates of the upper–class people, they lost
interest and sat down!
A man with short hair stood up and said, “Hello everyone, do you want to rent an apartment or buy a
house?”
“Rent an apartment!” Jacob smiled and said.
Hearing that they were renting an apartment, the other staff in the agency became even more
speechless. They were all busy with their own things and did not even look at Gerald and the others.
“This is so rea!,” Gerald said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Hector smiled and said, “Although the City of Phoenix is much safer than Ries City, the pressure of life
is also much greater. To the lower–class people, living is enough to make them suffer.”
“That is indeed a bit similar to Sin City.” Gerald glanced at him and suddenly said with a strange
expression, “The establishment of Sin City was created by the Night Watch. Don’t tell me you are also
involved in making the city this way.”
“I didn’t participate. The way that Sin City turned out to be, in the end, was related to Davis. Davis … is
a member of Blood Lotus,” Hector reminded.
Gerald was stunned for a moment.
While Gerald and Hector were talking, Jacob was also talking with the person who greeted them. When
this man with the crew–cut hair heard that Gerald wanted to rent an apartment, he laughed bitterly in
his heart. Then he quickly said, “What price range are you thinking about? The rent here is about 1,000
golorbs to 20 thousand golorbs. The apartments costing 20 thousand golorbs are located in the city
center.”
As he spoke, he mainly introduced the more expensive apartments to Gerald and the others. “Are you
guys here to look for work in the City of Phoenix?”
Gerald glanced at his chest. There was a small tag, which should be his name tag. On it was his name,
Ryder Burgess.
Hearing his question, Jacob said in a lower voice. “Yes.”
“In that case, I suggest that you get a place in the city center.” Ryder said, “In the city center, there are
already upper–class people living there. As for the rest of the residents, they are lower–class people
with a certain status. Many people have their own companies. If you live there, you can expand your
connections. If you are lucky, you can enter a big company.”
Jacob looked at him happily.
His ability to trick people seemed to be not bad, but for Jacob, who had done sales on Earth, this was
nothing.
However, he still turned his eyes to Gerald and the others.
Hector touched his chin and said softly, “Get an apartment in the city center then!”
Hearing his words, Ryder showed a trace of surprise, and he seemed to become a lot more excited.
Of course, the commission of buying a house might be more, but he could still get a three percent
commission from renting. If Gerald and the others rent an apartment for 20 thousand golorbs, he could
get 600 golorbs, which was already a considerable income.
If he persuaded Geraid and the others to rent a little longer, he could make even more money.
Those who did not come to greet Gerald were also slightly stunned. They did not expect that Gerald
and the others would choose to go to the city center.
For a moment, several people had tangled expressions on their faces.
“There are several apartments in the city center. I will show you the layout of the apartment…” Ryder
said hurriedly.
“No need. Let’s go straight to the most expensive one. Let us take a look.” Jacob smiled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis time, all the people at the agency looked at Gerald and the others strangely!
Rent an apartment!
They did not have much interest. Although they had a few houses in the city center, Gerald and the
others did not have the number plates of the upper class. As for lower–class people, most of them
would rent apartments at the edge of the city. The rent was quite low and it cost about several hundred
golorbs… They could have been busy for a long time and might only be able to get just dozens of
golorbs.
But renting the most expensive apartment… was completely different. The commission could be
hundreds and it was not much different from selling a house.
They never expected that a few lower–class people would come in and rent such an apartment.
“I will show it to you now.” Ryder was very excited. He brought Gerald and the others to the middle.
There were a few screens. He quickly drew on them and said, “20 thousand golorbs, in the city center,
roughly on the ninth ring road. These two apartments are opposite each other. The landlord is the same
person…” As he spoke, some light suddenly appeared and an image appeared in front of Gerald and
the others, as if it was 3D technology.
“The apartments are about 1,900 square feet, and there are many rooms…” Ryder still wanted to
introduce something, but Gerald walked to Jacob and said, “We’ll take both of them!”
Jacob nodded, then interrupted Ryder’s introduction and said, “We want both apartments.”
Ryder was stunned!•
He looked at Gerald and the others in shock.
His colleagues were also stunned.
It was fine to rent an apartment in the city center, but… Renting two apartments at once?
The commission of renting two apartments, at the very least, could be 1,200 golorbs, which was much
more than selling a house in the outer area.
Those who did not greet Gerald and the others now felt huge regret.
Jacob chuckled. He touched his nose and then smiled slightly. “We will rent each one for half a year!”
When these words were said, the entire shop quieted down.
Ryder was completely stunned. He felt as if he had been hit by a jackpot. The award was so big that he
was almost knocked out.
