The others watched in horror as the beggar they had just seen now seemed so imposing that they could not move.
"Hand over the money!" The old patriarch's voice was deep and authoritative, full of threat.
The outsiders trembled as they pulled out their wallets and banknotes and threw them on the ground.
The old man quickly picked up the wallet and the loose change, then disappeared into the darkness.
The outsiders were left trembling in fear and confusion.
The whole process lasted only a few seconds, but it felt like experiencing a nightmare.
The scene was completely silent, with only the sounds of the outsiders' breathing and heartbeats echoing in the air.
The old man achieved his goal and, under a streetlamp in a deep alley, took out his wallet and loose banknotes.
One of the wallets also contained an ID card.
Let's count the money we stole in total; it amounted to about 3,000 yuan.
Those people were just talking about the cheap hotel. He's rich now and doesn't have to sleep in the sewers anymore.
The old man found a small hotel nearby.
Perhaps due to being unfamiliar with the place or the hotel check-in process, he seemed somewhat uneasy and nervous.
The middle-aged woman at the front desk was woken up from her sleep on the folding bed behind the counter, and she was naturally a little unhappy.
She looked impatient and spoke in a curt and cold tone, "What kind of room do you want? A double room or a single room with a small bed?"
The old ancestor also sensed the other party's hostility, and he wanted to kill again, but he managed to control his emotions with great difficulty.
How much does a double room cost? How much does a single room with a small bed cost?
"The prices are on the signs on the counter. Take a look yourself and bring your ID card."
This wasn't his ID card after all. He carefully handed over the stolen ID card and asked for a double room. He was relatively well-off now.
After the receptionist took the card, she didn't even let the old man scan his face. She quickly registered him and then threw him an old room card.
The old man took the room key, silently found his room, and fiddled with it at the door for a long time before he realized that the room key could be used in this way.
He swiped the door open, and the room was pitch black. Luckily, he had night vision and found the light switch by the door. "Damn it? There's no power."
Then he discovered the card slot, tried inserting the card, and the whole room lit up.
Although the room was simple, he was already quite satisfied. After all, it was much better than living in the sewers and being a rat in the gutter. At least he had a place to stay.
There was a TV in the room, and he turned it on and frantically tried to learn some fragmented knowledge.
The old ancestor took a bath and lay down on the yellowed sheets.
"No, I still have to complete my imperial ambitions. This kind of life is worse than being a dog."
When I become emperor, that old hag downstairs will be the first to be executed.
Should he be torn apart by five horses or subjected to slow slicing?
The next day, the old man slept until noon before getting up. There was a loud knock on the door; it turned out the waiter was calling to check out.
The old man, still cursing, went back to the street.
He took a bath last night, since his robes were dirty and tattered. No matter how stunningly beautiful his face was, passersby on the street would always point and whisper about him.
"Now that I'm rich, why don't I buy a couple of new outfits and have a big meal while I'm at it?"
The old man bought two outfits at a clothing store on the small street, spending five or six hundred yuan. He felt a little pained, but spending money was a small matter. What he was really concerned about was that he was treated with contempt by such a shabby store.
Sitting in a restaurant on the street, he ate and drank to his heart's content, spending 300 yuan.
He still had about 2,000 yuan on him. After seeing rental information on the street, he decided to find a place to rent first.
He must achieve hegemony, but he must proceed gradually.
