Chapter 346: Chapter 74: Finding the Princess_3
Yan Li hated being called short, he became furious immediately. With a single arm, he lift the attendant up. If he were to throw the attendant, the attendant would surely be severely injured if not killed. Yan Shi quickly grabbed Yan Li’s arm and frowned, "Ah Li, don’t be impulsive, put him down first. We’re not here to cause trouble."
Yan Li glanced at Yan Shi, grunted heavily, and placed the attendant on the ground, letting go of his hold. The attendant stumbled back several steps, and with the help of his companions, he managed to steady himself. The face that was once proud had turned pale, his voice even trembled, "You, you..."
Yan Shi barked, "What do you mean by ’you’? If you don’t want to die, get lost." After saying that, they stringently headed toward the counter. They had not taken a few steps before more than ten attendants surrounded them. Just as things were heating up, a man who appeared to be the steward came over from the direction of the counter with a furrowed brow, asking, "What’s the matter?"
The two attendants from earlier ran to the steward’s side and reported what had just occurred. The steward glanced at Ah Dai and the others, and said dismissively, "If you don’t have money, you can’t come here. Don’t you understand that? You can’t afford to spend here. Leave, quickly." Saying this, he waved his hand as if shooing flies.
Being insulted repeatedly made Yan Shi also flare up. He took a long stride forward, took out the money card he had initially received from Uncle Fatty from his bosom, and threw it at the steward, saying coldly, "Are you blind? Take a good look."
The steward picked up the fallen money card. His eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "Ah! This, this is..."
Yan Shi snorted coldly, "You can check. This card has at least one million Gold Coins. Are we qualified to stay here now?" The cost of living in the Empire of Sunset City was high. Over the past year and a half, they had already spent all their original money. Ah Dai didn’t want to ask the Mage Guild for money, so they resorted to the old strategy of punishing the casinos of Sunset City. They won quite a lot, even though they had scaled back a lot compared to their previous spending sprees, they still had several million Gold Coins, which was more than enough for their needs.
The steward’s face changed quickly. He respectfully returned the money card to Yan Shi and shouted angrily at the attendants, "Why are you still standing there? Are you being paid to stand around? You can’t even recognize a distinguished guest?" He turned to Yan Shi and said ingratiatingly, "I apologize for our staff’s rudeness, please forgive us. Our distinguished guests, please follow me."
Yan Li sneered. He had seen a lot of such faces. In the Empire of Sunset City, money and power meant everything. The four of them were led to the counter on the left by the steward. The steward asked, "Gentlemen, is there anything you need us to do?"
Yan Shi replied, "We want to rent rooms. This is a hotel isn’t it? Open three rooms for us." Any hotel room in the Empire of Sunset City is generally for two people to stay in. On their journey, it had always been Yan Shi brothers in one room, and Ah Dai and Zhuo Yun each in their own rooms.
Taken aback, the steward chuckled, "I see there is indeed a misunderstanding. You gentlemen have come from out of town, haven’t you? Our Sunset City is different from other cities. As it’s the Empire’s capital city, casinos and brothels can’t operate openly here. Therefore, most of them have changed their names to operate, like us. Are you not interested in playing here?"
All were stunned. It turned out there were casinos and brothels in Sunset City, but they were concealed. Ah Dai frowned, "Do you have any rooms here?"
The steward replied, "Of course, but they are usually for wealthy customers and naturally, the prices are a bit higher."
Yan Shi handed over his money card, "Price isn’t an issue. The most important thing is that the environment is quiet. We don’t like noise, understand?" The secretive summoning of the Elf Queen was something that they could not let anyone find out.
The steward hurriedly took the card. He said hastily, "Understood, understood. The VIP rooms here are known for their elegant and quiet environment. Three rooms, right? No problem." He promptly completed the procedures. The daily stay in three rooms cost an astonishing three hundred Gold Coins. Yan Shi now understood why those attendants had stopped them from entering at the beginning. The expenditure here was really not something ordinary people could afford. It probably was just as expensive as the night club in Dark Hau.
The steward personally led them to the VIP rooms at the back. From the outside, the hotel did not seem remarkable, but it was very spacious inside. The hotel was mainly divided into two parts, the casino and the brothel, of course, the two were interconnected. One would really find it hard to play here without having assets worth hundreds of thousands.
They walked through a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were the two main halls of the same-heart hotel. According to the steward, there were many ordinary rooms in the brothel, but they were only for the prostitutes’ clients. There were over a dozen dolled-up young women by the entrance of the brothel making flirtatious gestures at the men. However, their looks were ordinary. Even lustful Yan Li couldn’t get interested. They followed the steward to the backyard of the hotel. In the backyard was a small building, the so-called VIP building. The steward led them into the building and opened three rooms for them on the second story.
