章 201: The Tobion Family Compound
On the way, Sato got the chance to look out and see the well-developed Country Y. The country had a long-established history of different racial settlers. Eventually, 300 years ago, the country decided to form one cohesive identity. The people from the different races had co-existed ever since. As such, the country was just like country Z, where the level of racism was low and other problems like income inequality was more significant. It could be said that Country Z emulated the government system in Country Y, considering how 3 out of 5 of the founders had originated from Country Y.
Sato noticed that the country also had an underlying problem of income inequality. The suburbs that he drove through was very similar to that of Country Z. However, just like their new GREEN Movement, Country Y could be seen to be in the midst of solving such problems too. Construction work was being undergone in the direction that Sato was looking at. There was definitely a link between Country Z's initiative alongside with Country Y. From the outside, even normal civilians could tell that their international ties with their neighbouring country was very amiable.
The car that drove Gray and Sato did not proceed to enter the city center of Country Y's capital city. Instead, it turned to the left, exiting the highway to enter a forest zone in the city. There were rarely any cars the deeper they drove into the forest, mainly because the area ahead was prohibited to enter by the public. As stated at the earlier guardhouse, the entire forest zone ahead was private property. This was more than enough to show the prowess of the Tobion Family. To be able to own a major plot of lane in the Capital City in one of the most developed countries in the world, was something normal rich family could only dream of. Money was not the only thing needed. Connections was more important when a family wants to procure huge amounts of land in a country.
Eventually, the car soon reached the last gate in their journey and they entered the Tobion family's compound. Compared to Sato's current home, this place was equivalent to half of the entire Royal Hills compound. The place was massive and had numerous private sports facilities that Royal Hills similarly had. To say the least, the Tobion family house wasn't just one building on its own. According to Gray, there was one mansion built for each of Byron Tobion's sons. There was a guest house that wasn't much smaller than the rest, totalling up to 4 mansions in this giant land space. The craziest part about all of these was that the landscape of the family compound was far more exquisite than the Royal Hill's layout. There were well-shaped bushes and numerous exquisitely sculpted fountains along the roads. Right before they reach the main house, there was a giant roundabout that featured an enormously detailed roman-inspired fountain sculpture. Knowing Sato, the young man was amazed to bits when they were turning around the roundabout.
Even as they reached their final destination, if Gray had not broken Sato's train of though, the boy would've continued to sit in the car and stared out in the open.
"We have arrived Sato. You can continue to admire this later," Gray reminded the cute young man.
"Oh whoops." Sato blushed before getting out of the vehicle with the help of Gray. To his surprise, there was an entourage of house servants and butlers awaiting their arrival. The number of people was shocking, but the boy contained his emotions inside of him. It wasn't right to show how much of a country bumpkin he was.
"Young master Gray and young master Sato, the patriarch and matriarch are awaiting your arrival in the house." A well-groomed man who seemed to be the head butler in the house stood forward to inform the couple.
"Alright," Gray turned to look at Sato. Reaching for his boyfriend's hand, he assisted him up the steps. "Let's go."
"Mm." Sato nodded resolutely. He was slightly nervous, but with his lover beside him, the young man was willing to face anything.
The steps into the mansion was as exaggerated as their own home. The design of the home had probably originated from the main house, thought Sato. This was a good prediction. After all, all of the houses that Sato had seen or lived in were all designed by the same architect. The doors of the mansion swung open automatically, welcoming the boys with a white open space concept. All of the four walls were clean of any dust and colour, showcasing the pure design. There was what seemed to be a huge crystal chandelier hanging above the pair, but after confirmation from Gray, it turned out to be made entirely out of diamond.
As Gray and Sato both slowly made their way through the hallway, they were soon welcomed with a slightly warmer atmosphere. There were two elderly people sitting on individual seats by the glass window that showcased a wonderful view outside. The elderly couple turned their heads up and squinted to see who had entered through the hallway.
"Oh if it isn't my sweet grandson, Gray." The old lady immediately recognised her grandson and stood up to give him a hug. Of course, Gray reciprocated welcomely.
"How are you, grandmother? Are you feeling better recently?" Gray replied with a warm tone that he only used with his family.
"I am good. I am good. There is no need to worry about grandmother's health." Gray's grandmother smiled lovingly. She turned her head to see the shorter man that stood beside her grandson. Similarly, she spoke to Sato. "Oh is this your boyfriend that you said was coming along with you, little Gray?"
"It is nice to meet you, Madam." Sato greeted rather stiffly due to nervousness. Such way of greeting her, made Gray's grandmother laugh lightly.
"Oh there is no need to be so formal. Just call me, grandmother, like how little Gray does too."
