Chapter - 5116

Maria smiled and said, "No need, I've already found him."

"What?" Keagan exclaimed in shock. "You found him? So fast?"

"Yes," Maria replied seriously. "Life is like this, as long as you make a few key choices right, you can make a fortune while lying down. It's the same when you find someone. Today's experience was more interesting and I'll tell you when you arrive."

"Okay!" Keagan said hastily. "Then I'll get ready to leave!"

After that, Maria stayed in the car and Larry and his wife didn't stay in the building for too long. They chatted with the school leaders for half an hour and then left, citing that they couldn't stay any longer.

The couple then returned to the car, surrounded by the crowd and the convoy slowly left the University and headed for Zilian Mountain.

Zilian Mountain covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers. It is shaped like a nearly round stone with rough corners. The distance between north and south and east to west is about six kilometers. The southern half of Zilian Mountain is a 5A-level scenic spot, while the northern half is mostly closed off.

The Cole family manor is located on one of the mountains hundreds meters above sea level in the northern region. He was able to acquire this property due to his early investment in the mainland and generous donations to Aurous Hills, which earned him high praise. Such a manor is a rare find, as there has only been one built in Aurous Hills in the past 20-30 years.

The convoy enters the mountain through the inner passage in the north of Zilian Mountain. At the top of the mountain, they are greeted by a grand archway made of white marble, with large characters engraved on it “Zilian Villa”. The grandeur and majesty of this manor is impressive, even she couldn’t help marveling at it.

Although it is not as exaggerated as those castles in Europe, it can give people a sense of escape from the world when they want to be enlightened and far away from the hustle and bustle. Even though it is only a few kilometers away from the most prosperous business district in Aurous Hills, it provides a sense of escapism.

Moreover, the entire manor is full of towering old trees and various plants, which are full of flowers and leaves in summer. From a distance, it is not even possible to see that there is such a large-scale private manor hidden here.

The design of the entire manor incorporates the style of Gusu gardens, known for their intricate and elegant design. The manor is built on a rising terrain and is divided into three layers. The bottom layer is the largest, a square with a side length of more than 100 meters, covering an area of at least 10,000 to 20,000 square meters. The area of the second floor is much smaller, with a side length of about 50 meters and an area of about 3,000 square meters.

On the top of the mountain, there is a small courtyard of blue bricks and stone tiles, with a side length of only more than 20 meters and an area of about 400 square meters. There are three tile-roofed houses, two short and one high. The tall one has two floors, while the other are ordinary single-story tile-roofed houses. In addition, there is a small courtyard with an area of about 100 square meters that is completely paved with natural bluestone.

Larry told Maria, "Miss, don’t judge my manor by its size. The real essence is the small, unremarkable courtyard at the top. If you don’t mind, you can live there for the time being!" Maria looked at the small courtyard on the top floor, which is at least 20 to 30 meters high, and although she hasn’t gone up to see it, she said with fascination "If I knew you had such a good manor, I would never go to Northern Europe…” But then she shook her head and said firmly, “Fortunately, I didn’t know this place earlier, so I went to Northern Europe! It was such an experience, if I hadn’t come out of it, it would have been my last. Now that I am out, it is just a new beginning.”
