As they walked through the entrance, everyone was struck by the beautiful surroundings and the villas. Someone thought. 'Only very wealthy families could live here, right? How could the Donovan family, rumored to be poor, afford such a place? Was Alaric bringing us to a relative's house and pretending it was his?"

Alaric thought for a moment and said, "I think around 6 million dollars."

Everyone went silent and thought, 6 million dollars wasn't a small amount. Is that something a poor person could afford?
