After Andrew returned, he immediately told Nathan everything that happened at the abandoned warehouse in the western suburbs.
Nathan was amazed and couldn't help but ask, "You mean Benjamin is at least an Outer Energy Master?"
"That's right," Andrew nodded, "With his strength, he knocked down nearly twenty of Henry's armed men with his bare hands. If he didn't master Outer Energy, how could he have such strength?"
Nathan frowned and couldn't help but sigh, "This guy, Benjamin, is amazing. He is young with superb medical expertise but still has such physical power. This young man is a hidden dragon in our Eastern Sea City, ready to soar into the sky!"
And Elizabeth, who was behind Nathan, was also amazed.
Shockingly, a young man in his early twenties possessed such strength.
Her eyes kept moving in her sockets; nobody knew what she was thinking in her heart.
…
Benjamin took a leave to move to Gullible Bay with his mother.
Gullible Bay was much better regarding environmental and security measures than where they lived now.
After all, the people who lived here were rich, and they valued safety the most.
Benjamin didn't want Henry's history to happen again.
Benjamin called a car outside and arrived in front of his house.
He returned home only to find a guest, Avery Lewis, his mother's former colleague. She was not young, and her face was wrinkled, but she had heavy makeup. It seemed to Benjamin that the red and green on her face were as ugly as powders on a donkey's waste.
"Aunt Lewis!" Benjamin greeted her with a smile.
Avery looked at Benjamin sideways, "I heard that you are in Eastern Sea Hospital now?"
"Yes!" Benjamin smiled, "If Aunt Lewis needs anything in the future, feel free to ask me!"
Avery snorted and said very arrogantly, "No need; my son is now the manager of a large company and has wide connections. You are just an intern; what can you possibly offer?"
Benjamin frowned slightly; Avery was rude in what she said, which could make people feel unpleasant.
"Mom, I've already called a car. We're moving today!" Benjamin couldn't be bothered to talk to Avery and looked at his mother, Charlotte, aside.
Charlotte was stunned for a moment, "Moving? What?"
Benjamin said somewhat helplessly, "Mom, didn't I tell you a few days ago, let's move to Gullible Bay!"
Charlotte was surprised, "I thought you were just kidding."
"How could it be possible? When have I ever lied to you?" Benjamin Lin smiled, "Hurry up and pack our things. The car is already waiting for us outside!"
On the side, Avery couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked quickly, "Are you moving to Gullible Bay? Is that the Gullible Bay Villa District?"
"That's right!" Benjamin's expression was indifferent.
Avery looked at Benjamin in disbelief, "How is this possible? That is our wealthy area in the Eastern Sea City. A villa costs tens of millions of dollars. How can you afford to move there? Benjamin, you're still so young and don't seem to understand the value of being down-to-earth, always talking big without substance. How is this acceptable? Look at my son; he is now a department manager of a large company, and he also has a gorgeous girlfriend. If you can't make it alone, why don't you follow my son and try to get a decent position through him?"
Avery didn't believe that Charlotte, who had always lived a worse life than herself, could move to the Gullible Bay Villa District.
Charlotte on the side also said, "Benjamin, don't joke around since your Aunt Lewis is here!"
"Mom, I'm not joking; I'm being serious!" Benjamin said helplessly, "We will move to the Gullible Bay Villa District. I have already called the car, so hurry up and pack our things!"
Charlotte was confused and didn't believe it, but when she saw Benjamin's serious look, she didn't feel like he was lying to her, so she had to get up and start packing her things at home.
Avery looked at Benjamin sideways and sneered, "What's the point of pretending to be wealthy and getting into trouble? It's hard to find a house in Eastern Sea City with a good environment and reasonable price. Why put on a show before me only to return later?"
Avery's constant sarcasm made Benjamin feel very unhappy. He frowned, "Aunt Lewis, you don't need to worry about where we are moving!"
Avery snorted coldly, "Tell me, you are already a grown man, but you still do such a thing."
Benjamin stopped talking to her and helped clean the house with his mother.
"Mom, there are many things here that we don't need anymore, so just throw them away. Just some clothes to change into will do. The new place is already furnished and has all the appliances."
"Mom, don't keep these..."
"Mom, I don't want this anymore..."
Benjamin felt helpless when he saw that his mother was still carrying the things she had saved up for a long time.
On the other hand, Avery looked at Benjamin and Charlotte coldly and said to herself, "I can't wait to see what they're up to."
…
Soon, everyone arrived at the Gullible Bay Villa District.
Avery's son, Michael Wood, also came here with his girlfriend Grace Lawrence. When he heard that Benjamin and Charlotte were moving to the Gullible Bay Villa District, he laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he hurried here to watch the funny show.
Upon their arrival, they were stopped by the security guards at the gate.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked two security guards with an air of arrogance and hostility.
Benjamin frowned, "I am an owner here."
"Pfft...hahaha..."
The two security guards immediately burst into laughter, even hurting their stomachs.
"Come on, you are dressed in clothes costing three to five hundred dollars. Can you afford to live in the Gullible Bay Villa District?"
"Young man, we are in a villa district, not an ordinary residential area. Not everyone can enter. You'd better leave quickly!"
The expressions of the two bodyguards were full of impatience, and they did not take Benjamin and his group seriously at all.
On the side, Avery saw this scene and sneered, "You've really overdone it, kid. Can't even get through the gate, yet you claim to be an owner here!"
Michael also told his girlfriend, Grace, "This guy is bragging. A villa here costs more than 50 million dollars. Even the general manager of our company can't afford to live here, let alone a poor person like him?"
Grace's expression was full of disdain for Benjamin, "Many men are like this nowadays, pretending to be rich without looking at how much they are worth!"
Benjamin couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense. He directly handed the key that Andrew gave him to the security guard.
The security guard took it over, took a look, and couldn't help but his eyes widened. "It's Villa No. 8. How come? This is the most expensive and best villa here!"
Another security guard immediately asked Benjamin, "Where did you come from? Thief! How dare you steal Mr. Harrison's key and want to enter his villa arrogantly. You have the audacity!"
